Tommy Robinson has been pouring petrol on the riots in North Belfast, where many houses, cars and buses have been firebombed. I suggest the UK Government send him and Elon Musk the bill.

Replying to @BladeoftheS
So regulators are only required to act where there’s a consensus, are they @Ofcom ? Never mind what the law or the rules say, if insufficient people demand the regulations are observed they go out the window, do they? Extraordinary.

Would someone care to explain why Social Security Benefits always seem to to be such an emotive issue in the UK?
UK benefits are so high... That they are the lowest in the Developed World.

"We want to use Henry’s heartbreaking story to make change for the better. We do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension.” I am in awe of Henry Nowak's family. Anyone callously ignoring their wishes deserves nothing but contempt.

Nigel Farage - the leader of Reform UK - is under investigation for failing to declare a Β£5 million 'gift'. Please RT this until the BBC gives this story the same level of blanket coverage - as it would for the leader of any other UK political Party.

I agree with Gary Lineker.
Gary Lineker, "I actually think that 80-90% of the country just want to get on with their lives, be friendly with their neighbours" "They don't look at people of different religions, skin colours, beliefs, traits, and think badly of them" Who agrees with Gary True words to me

Check this out and be shocked. Time to take the Water Co’s back into public ownership with NO financial compensation to the shareholders unless they sort themselves out, and fucking fast. This would be a good thing to look at @Keir_Starmer The entire country is pig sick of these money grabbing polluters. Go for the jugular.
Water UK says water companies won’t treat whole classes of pollutants because it is not legally required. The big NGOs say no new laws are needed. That is functional alignment. Stop the soft-ask scam. Update the law. #EndSewagePollution @RiverActionUK @sascampaigns @WaterUK

Come on @lisanandy. It’s clear that @Ofcom is failing in its duty and that slapdash, misleading reporting by GB News is harming Britain and our democracy. While GB News is not the only offender, it is by some distance the worst and most persistent. Lisa Nandy is not directly in charge of Ofcom, but as Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport she holds significant indirect influence. She oversees government policy on broadcasting, appoints Ofcom’s Chair and board members, shapes the legislative framework, and holds the regulator accountable in Parliament. She could realistically apply pressure by making strong public statements on broadcast standards, prioritising appointments that favour robust enforcement, issuing strategic guidance that emphasises accuracy and impartiality, tightening regulations on news content, and demanding regular updates on Ofcom’s handling of complaints about GB News. These actions would strengthen regulation without undermining Ofcom’s formal independence. The public deserves concrete evidence that Nandy is taking the repeated harms caused by this frequently misleading broadcaster seriously.
Come on @Ofcom. We cannot continue to allow a UK TV channel with the word "news" in its title to regularly promote misleading and sensationalised headlines as factual reporting. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a written statement to Congress criticising several NATO allies, particularly European ones, for insufficient support during US/Israeli operations against Iran in 2026. He described their reluctance as "unconscionable", warned that "we will remember", and spoke of "consequences" for those who fail to "step up". He highlighted "model allies" including Israel, South Korea, Poland, Finland, and the Baltic states. The UK and France were notably omitted. This reflects ongoing friction: the UK under Keir Starmer initially refused US requests to use British bases for offensive strikes against Iran, citing legal and international concerns, while later permitting limited defensive use. The UK provided defensive assets such as Typhoon jets, HMS Dragon, and mine-hunting support in the Strait of Hormuz, but declined full offensive involvement or participation in a US-led blockade. The headline is misleading because no formal removal of Britain from any official US allies list occurred. Core elements of the US-UK relationship (NATO membership, intelligence sharing, and military bases) remain fully intact. This was rhetorical criticism and prioritisation of certain partners, NOT a policy decision to downgrade the alliance. It is classic clickbait framing that implies a dramatic diplomatic rupture. GB News, which has strong editorial and personnel links to Reform UK (including multiple current or former Reform MPs and figures as presenters), amplifies such stories in a manner that follows a clear pattern of partisan criticism of the UK government. This is not consistent with the standards expected of a licensed UK news broadcaster. By all means, report legitimate US frustration with European allies and debate NATO burden-sharing. But do not mislead British viewers and voters by falsely claiming Britain has been removed as a US ally. The wider harms are real and cumulative. Sensational framing erodes trust in media, fosters general scepticism, and makes it harder for the public to identify genuine issues. It intensifies political polarisation, distorts understanding of foreign policy, and risks signalling Western disunity to adversaries. In the broader media environment, it reinforces clickbait incentives over accuracy and weakens democratic discourse and national cohesion. @Ofcom is fully aware of this repeated pattern yet has consistently failed to take sufficient regulatory action to prevent it. This regulatory inaction is itself damaging public trust in media oversight and allowing harm to British democracy to continue unchecked. It is time for Ofcom to properly enforce broadcasting standards.

Just got home after a hard days graft repairing venerable old windows. So, as you do, I had a thought or two whilst peering into the delicately rippled hand made glass and running my hands over the pleasing woodwork to check for rot and other imperfections. Water. Yes, water. Please bear with me on this. The one thing that unites us as a country is the agreement that the Water Co’s have taken the piss over the years (or not taken it, if you get my drift) Our streams, rivers, and seas are polluted to fuck because they are not doing their job, whilst charging us a fortune for the privilege! Insulting, too, that they dish out millions to their shareholders in dividends and pay their executives colossal salaries for doing a shit job. So here it is, a potential new policy for our wonderful yet beleaguered PM, Keir Starmer: How about telling the WC’s that unless they clean up their act, literally, then we will take them back into public ownership with NO financial compensation whatsoever? Moreover, criminal prosecution awaits the very worst of them with potential custodial sentences for the most negligent CEO’s. That might focus their attention just a tad. Certainly, it would be something that the entire country could rally around and would be a great vote winner too. Quite brilliant, don’t you think? Ha! #ZenAndTheArtOfWindowMaintenance @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer @Feargal_Sharkey #StandWithStarmer #TenYearKeir

Just this. 85% of 18-25 year olds (none of whom could vote in the 2016 referendum) want to rejoin the EU. Only an idiot government would ignore this overwhelming statistic, don’t you think?
