I have to say this why I respect @sturdyalex.bsky.social and @quietriotpod.bsky.social so much. Giving credit to govt where credit is due (and being vocal about it) rather than only focusing on the negatives and being silent on the positives (it also makes their criticisms more noteworthy. Other
I like the government pivot to reminding voters that Farage is an avowed enemy of NATO & Europe & an ardent admirer of Vladimir Putin, who routinely orders the murders of critics & opponents. It is politically effective & morally essential.
OBAMA: “People make excuses for him. They say he’s not serious. Everything a president says is serious!”🔥
Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.
Underneath the name Charlie Hebdo is a pile of bloodied dead bodies representing US citizens killed by ICE. The pile of bodies are collected in one corner to represent the stars of the US flag and the streaks of blood caused by them being dragged across the ground form the red and white stripes. In the foreground an armed skinhead officer with an ICE vest is dragging his latest victim with multiple gunshots to join the pile. The world is watching in horror.
Wow.
The front page of tomorrow’s Charlie Hebdo magazine in France.
Reform MP Andrew Rosindell tells the BBC that he "would not object" to scrapping the NHS and replacing it with private insurance
1030am Sunday: the BBC is still mainly just notifcing "starkly varying accounts" and offering a "recap" which is all "key lines" and always prioritising what people say happened, over what they could now report actually happened to scrutinise the starkly varying accounts
Allies of Starmer are, in turn, pushing back: "At a time of great geo-political tensions and in the middle of a cost of living crisis, the country would be aghast if the government turned inwards... We don't have time for endless speculation."
Gov. Tim Walz: "Thank God we have video, because according to DHS, these seven heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against them or something. It's nonsense, people. It's nonsense and it is lies."
This is even worse from the BBC! Stop giving prominence to people with a track record of lies above the videos we can all see.
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power
Awful of the BBC.
How can they distribute a video that clearly shows that the official US government narrative is a lie without also stating that it's a lie?
There aren't two sides to every story.
Two news angles, yes:
- Reality of what happened.
- Official lying cover-up.
But not two sides.
Walz: "I call on all Americans to see the decency this state is exhibiting, and the horrific cruelty, unprofessional, absolute abomination that is passing for what these f--- ICE agents are doing on our streets."
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan says dramatic falls in immigration visa numbers should offer an opportunity to reset the immigration debate, and to make a clear case for the contribution of controlled immigration, speaking at the Fabian conference today
People want to be listened to, not talked at. They have been starved of this very fundamental need, and instead fed hate, division and a steady stream of “them and us” rhetoric. This is the vacuum ZP is filling, by connecting with real people and real values, and Labour should be taking notes.
Reform UK’s new ‘shadow chancellor’ Robert Jenrick attended a protest organised by Homeland and posed for photos with on of Eddy Butler, one of the founders of neo-Nazi Combat 18.
You’ve got to question his motives and judgement.
Nigel Farage attended Davos on a pass sponsored by the family office of Iranian billionaire Sasan Ghandehari, which told the World Economic Forum that the Reform UK leader had advised the company since 2018. ft.trib.al/V138xDu
Farage has been touring Davos all week pledging to “fight the globalists” - all funded by a $10 billion trust run on behalf of an Iranian billionaire.

Carole Cadwalladr, "He's not that cuddle cosy golf club English pub figure"
"He is in a relationship with the US far right and with the European pro-Kremlin far right"
"What happened in Brexit, we saw that money that force that influence, those networks coming together"
If this happens, it will make literally everything better. All of it. Everything in the world.

When it comes to the customs union, you know, we need to be having these conversations as a country about where is the best anchor, what are the best opportunities for Britain’s economy post Brexit. Now, of course, it would be crazy not to engage with the prospect of a customs union. Peter Kyle MP, Secretary of State for Business and Trade
Even as more Government Ministers acknowledge the damage of Brexit, there is still no clear plan to repair the barriers between the UK and the world’s largest free market. Rejoining the Customs Union and Single Market is the only credible route to growth.

ICE detain U.S. Army Purple Heart Veteran for hours—deny access to lawyer.
Agents gang tackle him to ground—severely injure his face.
"They did offer me a band-aid," he said. "But I’d rather have a lawyer than band-aid when being detained."
The Iraq combat veteran was wounded during his service.
Madeline Summerville: “73.6% of people currently in ICE detention have NO criminal record, according to CATO.”
Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"
