And as for "it was childhood banter" - no it wasn't. That sort of thing isn't "banter" it's ugly persistent racism.

Farage’s best mate was about to board a plane to Russia when his Russian fur collar was felt. Reform want this swept under the carpet but it’s not going to be.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

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?

Chris Mason is what happens when a Hospital Radio DJ, whose sole qualification appears to be a sort of soporific inoffensiveness, is somehow promoted to BBC Politics Editor - a position that demands unflinching insight, objectivity, and sharpness. It's like a puddle trying to be the ocean.

Wow. Gavin Newsom just brutally mocked Trump for his dementia-laden post. Trump forgot that he was president on January 6, 2021. How embarrassing.

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

Elon Musk is a wealthy foreign individual attemting to interfere directly in our political process and to stimulate violence on our streets. For our government to ignore this would send the wrong signal to the world. They must do something now.

Appalled by the violent scenes of police being attacked at the Tommy Robinson rally today. Those responsible should face the full force of the law.

These far right thugs do not speak for Britain.

Northern Ireland man from Lisburn kidnapped by Trump’s Ice raids because he “looked like a Mexican”. He had the correct visa, all his documents. He’s never been in trouble with police.

Held in terrible conditions. A fellow captive couldn’t get his medication and dropped dead of a heart attack
Horrors of Trump detention centre: Lisburn man tells his story after arrest for 'looking like a Mexican'

Lee Stinton was lifted by US immigration police on an American street — in an incident he compared to a kidnapping.

Here, he tells us his story.

This is pure Trumpery from the Conservative Shadow Home Secretary. He’s trying to turn violent rioters and their instigators into “political prisoners” as Trump did with the Capitol rioters (which led to the death of a friend of the family).

Kids being ‘disappeared’ - the stuff of brutal dictatorships.
Communities aren’t staying silent about ICE…

18-year-old Massachusetts high school student Marcelo Gomes was taken by ICE on his way to volleyball practice Saturday morning. No word on where he’s being held.

Marcelo missed graduation today, so Milford HS graduates marched to rally in solidarity.

This is ridiculous. It's just the dumbest thing I've ever seen: a nation destroying itself to prevent the sale of cheap products. We can't keep getting stupider at this pace, as a species. Within another generation or two we won't be able to speak whole sentences.

Pete Hegseth in 2016: "The people we rely on to do dangerous and difficult things for us rely on one thing from us: That we will not... be reckless with the dangerous things they are doing for us. That's the national security implications of a private server that's unsecured."
