@schumer.senate.gov you need to step down. You failed. We need someone stronger and you lost your party. This is poor leadership. Furious is an understatement.

Robbie Gibb need to go. He’s been a destructive force. He made virtually all BBC politics programmes like Question Time and LK Sunday Morning programme virtually unwatchable. The non stop Farage coverage and gutting of Newsnight The sooner he’s gone the better.

BBC board member with Tory links ‘led charge’ in systemic bias claims, say insiders
Sources say Robbie Gibb amplified criticisms of Trump, Gaza and trans rights coverage, and had ‘a lot of oxygen in the room’

My beautiful Caina Bear was put to sleep at home this afternoon. The middle pic,when she was young, and on the right the reason I adopted her. Finnegan was such a lonely puppy, and she saved him. I don’t know what he’s going to do without her, I hope he ll be OK. Sleep tight, my beautiful girl.

Labour should be posting this everywhere.
Reform UK Party Ltd’s ‘flagship’ council of Kent is not just in chaos — it’s a threat to public safety.
Will any journalist be asking Farage directly about this?
I don’t hold out any hope whatsoever.

I’m sure there are other countries in the Middle East, who treat their prisoners brutally, but none who are our allies and who claim to be a democratic state. I don’t understand why we are not sanctioning them.

My lovely little bear Caina is being put to sleep at home on Mon night. I’m not sure how Finn is going to cope so I have to. She is at least 11 and with a kidney disease that all information says should prevent her from living longer than eight so she’s done well and is now simply refusing to eat.

Trouble is it isn't just the far right media doing it - it's the BBC on TV and radio, it's Sky News etc spending hour after hour on it without ever mentioning that it happened under the Tories for 10+ years.

Is there a prominent Brexiter left who hasn’t torn off their mask to reveal the rancid racism beneath? Boris Johnson’s chief fluffer accusing anyone else of being over-promoted is peak process. The bitterness of insanely privileged men with empty souls knows no bounds.
For anyone still tempted to take Dominic Cummings at all seriously, he's now an advocate of Donald Trump-style open racism.

🇬🇧 Look around Reform voters — this is Britain:
12.9 million pensioners
1.9 million on minimum wage
8 million on Universal Credit
2.2 million too sick to work
4.2 million on health-related benefits
Reform aren’t fighting for “the people” — they’re coming for you.

New Yorkers have rejected the vile Islamophobia and racism that have been slung in this campaign, and elected a progressive voice that will advocate for their communities.

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.
