Asked a question by Kuenssberg about whether her proposals on refugees would mean refugee families being broken up, Shabana Mahmood immediately started talking about illegal migration. Eventually, she’s admitted that yes, Labour’s policy will break up settled families. Vile.

Here's my argument with Sir Bernard Jenkin MP about the report showing how the racist intimidation of Black and Brown NHS workers on home visits has been exacerbated by the far right's wall of flags.

Lots of stuff here that you won't read in most of the legacy media which seems completely uninterested in the backgrounds, associations and possible motivations of those behind the BBC crisis.

Why was the BBC having its homework marked by a lobbyist who hasn't worked as a journalist for 20 years?

The leaked ‘BBC Bias’ memo Trump used to attack the BBC was authored by Michael Prescott — a Hanover lobbyist paid by US tech/media giants tied to Trump. Full story: bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/b... 1/12

Should read:

Farage says small business owners who thought Brexit would cut regulation have been betrayed - by charlatans like himself who spearheaded their betrayal.

This from @bearlypolitics.co.uk is a ferocious take on the whole BBC story. All journalists and politicians should read it, and the govt should do something about it.

If Reform UK are happy to have an overt racist on their benches then what does that tell you about the party?

Pochin should have had the whip removed 24 hours ago.

Or are Reform condoning it by their silence?

I wish this was untrue.

But we all know it isn't.

When will Britain start applying the law equally to ordinary people and the rich & powerful?

I don't how anyone in the UK - our politician and media - can call out corruption in other countries with a straight face.
Sarkozy starting a jail term for dodgy finacial dealings. In England that would get you a seat in the house of lords and even richer.

Double checking there were no violent insurrections, beating up of cops, pro-Nazi shirts, and smearing of shit in state Capitols today across the country during the massive NO KINGS protests, right?

Because that's what Trump supporters did on January 6th to overthrow a free and fair election.

Jenrick portraying the 80s as a wonderful time to be a football fan is rather unusual for a Wolves fan. It included the stadium being massively damaged by arson and our remarkable record of being relegated three times in a row, from the top flight to the fourth division.

Can we widen this to 'if you permanently emigrate anywhere', perhaps including pensioners who get citizenship of Spain, Portugal, wherever?

A kind of 'one in/one out' policy.
I’m afraid that if you emigrate to Dubai for the tax breaks and 24-hour security, you really should give up your citizenship here for someone who wants it.

What an admirably clear statement from the Jewish Leadership Council, especially when all of those involved must surely have been dealing with so many other urgent challenges in safety, security and grief + shock today before having this further divisive and distracting intervention to address too.

If Labour put 10% as much effort into calling out Brexit as they do punching down at immigrants we'd already be negotiating to rejoin the EU.

Brexit only lacks importance for most voters because of the conspiracy of silence across politics and the media to not connect Brexit-related problems to it.
