Some facts:

● Connolly pleaded guilty.

● Her appeal failed in May and her sentence was upheld. (See image on the right)

● She's only been released because she's served 40% of her sentence and that's the automatic release point.

● It says everything about our press that they're siding with her

The business secretary Jonathan Reynolds says the racist protesters intimidating asylum seekers in Epping are "upset for legitimate reasons.”
I don't remember any Labour frontbencher saying the same about people protesting the genocide in Gaza. On the contrary, they've criminalised peaceful dissent.

Are Private Eye jokes now... criminal?

PALESTINE Solidarity campaigner Jon Farley was arrested during a silent march in Leeds last weekend. What egregious act had prompted the police to act? He was, er, carrying a Private Eye joke piece as a placard!

This is a superb new resource about rejoining the EU.

rejoin.info

It takes all the thorny questions, and the objections and obstacles people throw in the way of rejoining, and tackles each one slowly, factually and calmly.

Bottom line: we can rejoin. It won't necessarily take a very long time.

Been a bit obsessed with this this week. Can’t believe I hadn’t heard of it. Been listening to it on audiobook. No wonder people are confused about who the good guys are!!

Pitch perfect in every way 🥲
Here’s a reflective mash-up of “White Cliffs of Dover” & “Over the Rainbow” we made about VE Day and where we’re at 80 years on. Dedicated to Great Grandad (DFC as an RAF pilot, 619 Squadron, Lancasters) - his favourite saying was "the price of freedom is eternal vigilance."

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP.

It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next.

“fact-checkers have been too politically biased”
