Boris Johnson says the idea that criticism of the BBC is being organised by the right is ‘complete and utter bollocks’, which makes me think there might be something in it.

🧵 The right-wing, populist pressures on parties & media are huge. Eventually, we might lose democracy & independent journalism (at least temporarily). But I will never forgive those who appeased the far-right, hoping for I don't know what, & didn't stay true until the last (safe) moment.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Reform UK Council Grifter in Northumberland.
Councillor Shaun Knowles turned up to a meeting yesterday for the first time in just under 6 months.
This means he avoids disqualification by just a few days and keeps his councillor salary.

The UAE where hugging in public can get you arrested, where human rights barely exist, where foreign workers are routinely abused, where critics of the regime routinely disappear, where an Indian nanny was shot by firing squad in March & where marital rape is not a criminal offence but being gay is.

Just so everyone knows ICE still getting paid while everyone else stands in a food bank line fortune.com/2025/10/22/g...
As government shutdown persists, ICE agents are among the still-paid employees receiving ‘super checks’ including lost pay and overtime | Fortune
Public finance expert Linda Bilmes says the “arbitrariness” of who gets paid and who doesn’t during shutdowns exposes the “dysfunction” of the budget approval process.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Now share this.
Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.

British arms exports to Israel have reached record highs during the genocide. These arms exports are illegal under British and international law and constitute war crimes. Such arms exports make Israel’s genocide possible.

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:
“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”
How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.
