Poor drivers. If only there were another way of getting in and out of Manchester city centre. Thoughts and prayers 🙏

To suggest that having lived a life so grim that even an English tribunal will grant you asylum, and to have somehow managed to get here at great risk to life, is a "golden ticket" is absolutely fucking contemptible. Shame on this so-called Labour Party.

@rory-stewart.bsky.social Not a good look on #newsnight tonight. First it's, "let's talk about the good stuff the king does" then "there are more current and important things to discuss" - just sounded like more of the status quo, a parliament unable or unwilling to challenge and govern the royals.

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.
The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

Wish I could say I was shocked, but here's the Labour government constraining the right to peaceful protest again...
'You can protest but only according to our rules. The rules are: you're not allowed to use any of the tactics that make protest effective.'
'You can protest but only according to our rules. The rules are: you're not allowed to use any of the tactics that make protest effective.'
NEW: Home Office announces planned new anti-protest powers, mainly aimed at pro-Gaza protests like those for Palestine Action. Police will be able to consider the "cumulative impact" of repeated protests and potentially order that they be relocated.

TLDR: the UK political system seems designed to waste everyone's time, hinder progress, and exclude people, in ways that frustrate me every single day.
A progressive government would fix it. Lords Reform is a good start, but there's so much more to do.
