“What you’re seeing is a race based pogrom, we are seeing men going door to door asking to 'get the foreigners out' based exclusively on the colour of their skin.”

SDLP leader Claire Hannah criticises the unrest taking place in Belfast.

There is absolutely nothing patriotic about destroying British towns and cities.

People who claim to love this country more than anyone else while smashing up local businesses and using violence against the police are completely delusional.

True patriots build communities up, they do not tear them down.

He's made many mistakes..
But this is one that people will remember long after the fact -
Using the tragic death of Henry Nowak to push his hate & division crucially after Henry's father specifically requested for this NOT to be done was disgraceful and unforgivable.

Nearly 100 fans from Morocco applied to go the USA.

The US blocked nearly 90% of their applications.

This is the most racist World Cup ever and it should be boycotted by everyone, the USA is refusing to let non-white people come.

@IsabelOakeshott A White Brit was literally jailed last month for a public attempted beheading.

But Reform, Farage, Lowe, Musk etc didn’t make outraged posts about that case.

Because REFORM rhetoric was her gateway to far right groups (whose members openly support Restore).

Liz Truss is bringing the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), a major US conservative gathering traditionally associated with the American right and MAGA circles, to the UK.

💣 Nigel Farage is headlining.
🔥 The event includes high ticket prices (£100–£10,000 for VIP/gala access) and a “Winston Churchill Gala Dinner.”

• Funding appears to come from right-wing/ conservative private sources, including links to Paul Marshall (major GB News backer) and Legatum Institute.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, after an American helicopter was shot down by Iran, CNN is finally slamming Donald Trump for saying the war with Iran has ended over 37 times before. It's about time someone call Trump out on his BS.

[Peter Jukes @peterjukes]

Having lived through 25 years of ‘the Troubles’, thousands killed in the UK and Ireland in low level civil war, the urban riots of the 80s, let alone 7/7 — @elonmusk, Yaxley-Lennon and their armies of foreign bots trying to provoke civil war are just pathetic

🚨 DISGUSTING: Sky Sports confirms Washington humiliatingly blocked Africa's prominent top referee, Omar Artan, from the World Cup.

Despite having a valid visa, the Trump administration deported him to Türkiye over a travel ban. A total betrayal of fair play!

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

The ‘Great Israeli Real Estate Event’ is to be held in London this Sunday.

This disgraceful event will involve the sale of land stolen from Palestinians in illegal Israeli settlements.

Today, I called for the Government to ban this event.

Mehdi Hasan, "The two biggest hits to growth in the UK over the last 10-15 years were both brought about by Conservative governments"

"Austerity and Brexit"

Jeremy Hunt then has a mini meltdown

A disgrace to world football

[tag @mxdric]

How sweet would it be for the referees to all strike in solidarity and completely fuck up the tournament. Fuck FIFA for allowing this

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Shame on those who use hideous crimes to incite racist violence.

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

Imagine being someone sitting here in London (where I am) looking at these images, and justifying it.

Farage paid £83k from events linked to US anti-abortion supporters
The UK Nazi Party Reform UK supporters told me I was lying.

I was right again.

How did I know?

Ian Wright isn't allowed to say it because he is a Football Presenter but he is thinking it.

So I will say it for him, this World Cup is racist and it is disgusting.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨WOW! SENATE REPUBLICANS TURN ON TRUMP!

Republican Senator Bill Cassidy just went OFF on Donald Trump, personally blaming him for jacking up American healthcare costs.

This is a historic moment.
