🚨 “Can I tell you how many times in the last 45 years the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK when it comes to deporting people from this country - only 13 times - in 45 years” Hugely important point made by @vicderbyshire.bsky.social 👏

YES YES YES thank you @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 🙏 😩AT LAST someone rasiing the alarm about what Europe's plummeting brith rates really mean!! "In reality, without immigration there will be no Europe, no civilisation and no one left to argue about it."⚠️ It's. that. simple.

OMG we only went and bloody won!! 🎉🎉 In barely two years Democracy for Sale has gone from nothing to winning a British journalism award Am absolutely blown away!! Thanks to everyone who reads D4S and supports us. Couldn’t do it without you all 😊

MAGA: Down with snowflakes and hurrah for FREE SPEECH! also MAGA: You can't come to America unless you show us your social media posts and prove that you've never said hurty words about our president...

How refreshing to hear the head of the Met on LBC dropping truth bombs galore on all the bots, Faragists & online racists dedicated to lying about London.

I used to work for an American company and there was always the possibility of moving out there. You honestly couldn't pay me enough to even try to visit there now

Please remember this next time you hear Nigel Farage and Reform say we must leave the ECHR to control our borders

Trump thinks immigrants will destroy Europe. The truth is the opposite. This column is about the long arc of population change, the hybridity of European cultures, and the widely-misinterpreted results of demographic momentum. Big issues we need to understand. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Innocent people end up in our criminal courts. Completely, terrifyingly innocent. And all that stands between them and losing everything is a fair trial. Politicians would do well to remember this when they tell us that justice is all about processing “criminals” swiftly.

Throwback to the Xmas when I spoofed mobile game ads too accurately, and no one clicked on the video.

What is going on at the BBC?

It’s alright #sophiefromromania we’ll go out soon

Nigel Farage's new strategy is to call the childhood victims of his racism liars while lashing out at any journalists who dare to report his actions. This is just a small taster of how he would act if he ever got any power www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Could not be more thrilled to win scoop of the year at the British Journalism Awards awards for the Press GazeAfghan data leak. A podcast first! Massive testament to the incredible team @newsagents.bsky.social Genuine pinch me moment- for a show which didn’t exist little more than 3 years ago.

Americans are watching the prices of groceries, utilities, medical care and housing skyrocket—but Trump says it’s not happening.

The government is letting the hunger strikers die. This is a national scandal - and should be on the front-page of every newspaper in Britain. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/gove...

'I'll play you Donald Trump lying, and the Met Commissioner doing what every patriotic Brit should be doing...' @mrjamesob.bsky.social cautions against 'treachery', as Sir Mark Rowley rubbishes Trump's claims about safety under Sadiq Khan last month.

"Get ready to enter a psychodrama tug-of-love over values, culture, economics, and arguments about GDP growth rates versus quality of life, defence, security, innovation and AI regulation. The lot will be fought over" I said in Nov '24 - the UK will have to choose between the US and EU. Choose EU.

I just saw another "Why Modern Movies Look Bad" video, full of clips from Jurassic World and the MCU. Maybe people could try watching good films?

I mean yes and no. He's been around a long time but he's only been a member of Parliament for a grand total of one year. It's easy to survive if you just keep on setting up new political parties and make yourself the leader of them

This is one of the most extraordinary, mic drop moments you will ever see in Congress. In a previous time, the Secretary would have resigned - or have been fired - before the sun set.

10 years on from the Paris Agreement, my message for fossil fuel companies is clear: get on board with a green future, or get left behind. London is leading the way, now we need businesses and governments around the world to step up.

I see this so often that I think it might qualify as a law: The time people take to notice demographic trends is equal to the time required for the results to materialise. In other words, however obvious the maths might be, we cannot or will not see it coming.

I welcome the decision of the Council on our proposal to continue the immobilisation of Russian Sovereign Assets. We are sending a strong signal to Russia that as long as this brutal war of aggression continues, Russia’s costs will continue to rise.

Ex-teacher here. Moved to a basic office job this week. The straw that broke the camel's back was a parent of a 15 year old telling me their well behaved princess would never play up in school. Reader, she stabbed me with a pen so hard I needed stitches.

Auroral activity is expected to calm through the weekend.

The fact you have to say "any compassionate employer" is the point. Not every employer is compassionate!

One Russian paper today sees "a split in the Western camp. This is objectively good for Russia.” Other papers: “crisis” in metals industry & “more than 40% of working Russians surveyed have barely enough/not enough money before payday for food & essential goods.” #ReadingRussia

I presume it runs to Brentford? 🐝

Day 41 of Amu’s hunger strike. Still, the Justice Secretary refuses to meet with me.

A little signal that Trump's powers to control his party through bullying are waning.

I wrote that over a year ago. Getting truer by the day. See --> bylinetimes.com/2024/11/15/d...

Last year’s winner of the Eurovision Song Contest, Nemo from Switzerland, has handed back their prize in protest at Israel being included in the competition this year. He joins five countries [Iceland, Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands & Slovenia]. The competition is a slow-motion car crash.

At long last, a positive shared vision for railways in the North. 🙌🏻 #BeeNetworkRail will be a game-changer for GM. 🐝

Met Police chief Mark Rowley: ‘How anybody in America can suggest the UK is violent is completely ridiculous. The homicide rate in London is lower than every single US state. It’s lower than all their big cities.’

It is very difficult to think of anything Trump has done this year that does not denigrate the USA’s staunchest allies and delight their once shared enemies, most obviously Vladimir Putin. And apart perhaps from Mark Carney, Western politicians are not rising to the unprecedented challenge he poses.

Streeting’s strategy. Donald Trump’s disgusting racist lies about London & Sadiq Khan & the treasonous Brits cheering him on. tinyurl.com/4rrn2mkx

The right move. Young people's dreams shouldn't be limited by borders or bureaucracy.

'Complete nonsense.' Met Police Chief Sir Mark Rowley rubbishes Donald Trump's claims about violence in London under Sadiq Khan.

Interviewed a bloke for a job and he smashed it. Basically had the job as he walked out the door. Five minutes later I leave the building and see him throw a lit cigarette into the gutter. The woman we interviewed later that day got the job.

If money has to change hands (either way) for Disney characters to be included in the work users make with Open AI, then copyrighted material *does* belong to its owners, and so, sadly, the original dataset is illegal, and Open AI has to shut down. I DON’T MAKE THE RULES.

The joy of a train journey sat across from a group travelling to a work Christmas party already five drinks down. It just shouldn't be possible to shriek that loudly.

I mean aside from her current politics being the polar opposite of Blair's in Government, what is the purpose of this exactly? Mahmood's ratings are through the floor with Labour members, according to Labourlist surveys. At least go for someone with half a chance

There's a casual vacancy inside her skull where a brain used to be due to obsessive Sharpie fume huffing.

I am a new senior academic in a long established British university. Upon taking charge of 'my' premises, I found dozens of decent students sleeping in our 24-hour study spaces: they are homeless. I don't know how to tackle this without rigid management just changing the locks.

This moved me more than I can say. It made me very happy, too!

And the Angel Gabriel appeared before Mary and said, “Ooh, I like your robe!” and Mary did reply, “Thanks! It’s got pockets!"

FINALLY I will get to see Sleeping Beauty woken up by Baloo splooging on her face while the Dan Castellaneta genie from Return of Jafar puts stuff in his anus nearby YESSSS!

We’re approaching the 40th anniversary of this spectacular bit of TV, an intro sequence to Wogan’s chat show. If anyone ever says that the 1980s were shit, just shake your head, smile condescendingly and play them this youtu.be/ntTckWx8MMw

Did you enjoy your sausage?

The FT writes: ‘In Trump’s interview with GB News, its correspondent, Bev Turner, gave North Korea’s broadcasters a run for their money. “It feels much safer here,” Turner said, contrasting Washington to London, though the chances of being murdered in DC are around 26 times higher than in London.

The Department of Justice posted a faux book cover, “Franklin becomes a deportation judge,” on social media Thursday.

It would be great if SOMEONE could try to fight populism without adopting its most questionable methods. There is a mountain of stuff on which to criticise Starmer. The "island of strangers" accusation is, in my view, mendacious and low - albeit that it has been repeated so much it may *feel* true.

Please don't bother.

Nvidia and OpenAI are driving an increasingly circular AI investment frenzy. But if the momentum falters, the UK’s increasingly entangled tech sector could be pulled into the fallout. Full story by the Eye’s new business columnist ‘Gold Digger’ in the latest issue.

You could accuse these Christmas Puddini Bonbons of being a bit cutesy, a bit kitsch, and certainly the name I’ve bestowed upon them is more than a bit camp, but that’s just how the spirit of Christmas takes me!

After much consideration I have made the formal decision to rewatch the American procedural drama Elementary from the start. There will, of course, be times when I am compelled to compare it to the significantly inferior Sherlock but I will try and keep those outbursts to a minimum.

I won at makeup tonight. You can try and find fault with this but you’ll just sound foolish. I didn’t even stick a filter on it, I just took it and posted.

Microsoft should have two versions of the desktop operating systems. One with all the AI bullshit that the hard of thinking can froth themselves blind over, and another which is just bare-bones that lets the rest of us run all the applications we need without constant annoyances.

It all makes sense now, the bizarre Press Gazette attention on Byline Times shareholders. The media cartel has been going for Prince Harry and his case against the Mail for a year. And the idiot who spent months investigating us thought Prince Harry had invested in Byline Times

One of the best things about kids is having someone to do wrestling moves on. Nothing more satisfying than putting a 6 year old to bed with a John Cena Attitude Adjuster.

Appeared in a TV advert as a young child. What went out was deeply embarrassing and I got bullied for years as a result. It recently resurfaced on YouTube. A couple of people have said I look like the kid in the ad. I have flat denied it's me.

And that’s a wrap. Just put my final @prospectmagazine.co.uk to bed after four and a half years, and nearly 45 issues. The best possible luck to a fabulously talented and lovely team and to my successor, Philip Collins.

Doing a talk to headteachers and I said funding for something has increased by 6-7%. And I could feel the tension in the room as everyone resisted the urge to do the meme.

I've long suspected that a day will come when all of Trump’s most high-profile supporters desert him like rats off a sinking yacht. Today, I sense we've edged a little closer to that "abandon ship" moment.

🧵 It's almost a joke. Entshittification by @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy - I order the book, but it doesn't ship for weeks, despite being 'In Stock'. The expected delivery date is changed to May 26, even though the book is still allegedly 'In Stock'. - It suddenly arrives. The postman doesn't...

I hyperventilate when the post arrives and it's a plain envelope with my name and address through a clear window even though 99.9% of the time it's just my bank saying "we're the bank" and not a fine for parking in The Forbidden Zone.

I don't fess often, but when I do I like to draft them as a tweet on my own account first before submitting them, just so I know they read well and for the character limit. Every single time I have an absolute horror that I will accidentally tweet them myself.
