NEW: Following TikTok’s sale to a Trump-aligned business group, our office has received reports — and independently confirmed instances — of suppressed content critical of President Trump.
It’s time to investigate.

I am launching a review into whether TikTok is violating state law by censoring Trump-critical content.

Reform’s newest MP has backed scrapping the NHS and replacing it with private insurance, saying that the healthcare system needs to be more “efficient”. Andrew Rosindell, told the BBC that he endorsed a plan previously backed by his new boss Nigel Farage to privatise the NHS.

Now TACO has posted his disingenuous craven words about UK troops (NOT an apology btw), we can expect his puppet Farage to emerge from his backside and tell us how wonderful Trump is

This is extrajudicial murder. It’s a paramilitary execution of an unarmed civilian in cold blood. Horrifying.
NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.

Superb - and alarming - piece on the torrent of falsehood and disinformation pouring into people's phones, designed to stir up racial hatred.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social The superb contributions from all of today’s callers were heartbreaking, stirring and absolutely vital given the comments made yesterday. It was essential listening. Thanks and well done to everyone involved.

When Trump lied and slandered European troops by saying that they avoided the front lines in Afghanistan, it was no mistake. It was a deliberate attempt to run down NATO in American eyes, to try and condition the American people to accept the end of the alliance.

1. This short thread is about the issue that dominates almost every aspect of politics, and causes or exacerbates most of our problems: the extreme wealth of a small number of people. Here’s the amazing thing: almost the entire political class aligns with the ultra-rich against the rest. 🧵1/10

2. There’s a basic metric by which you can tell who in politics are your allies and who are your enemies: whether they support or oppose the extreme concentration of wealth. Those who support it (let’s call them Group 1) are the political right. Those who oppose it (Group 2) are the political left.

3. As soon as you see politics in this light, you notice something extraordinary. Almost everyone's in Group 2. Polls in 36 nations found that 84% see economic inequality as a big problem, and 86% see the political influence of the rich as a major cause of it. www.pewresearch.org/global/2025/...

5. But – and here’s the astonishing thing – almost the entire political class is in Group 1. They fiercely resist what the great majority want. Where, in the manifestoes of the biggest parties in almost any country, including those once on the left, will you find a call to make billionaires history?

6. And it’s not just politicians. Almost all the media belongs to Group 1. As the wealth and power of the proprietor class becomes ever greater and harder to justify, the views expressed in their outlets become ever crazier.

7. Immigrants, asylum seekers, Muslims, women, transgender people, disabled people, students, protesters: anyone and everyone must be blamed for our dysfunctions, except those causing them. Ever more extreme “culture wars” (a euphemism for divide-and-rule) must be waged.

8. You cannot have both a free market in media ownership and a free market in information and ideas. The oligarchs who dominate the sector stifle inconvenient thoughts and promote the policies that protect their fortunes.

10. It’s time to recognise how deeply weird this is, reserve our votes for people who give us what we want, and stop subscribing to media outlets that lie on behalf of oligarchs.

9. We’ve become so used to all this that we hardly notice it. But isn’t it extraordinary? Almost everyone wants one thing, and almost everyone who represents us – whether in politics or the media – wants the opposite. Yet we tell ourselves we live in a democracy.
