I hope there are UK groups taking notes for how to organise under a Farage government

The PM is right, Trump is completely wrong - on this and many other things as well.

Thr Trump regime lies. Very badly.

Trapped in for-profit ICE camps for nearly a year. Arrived healthy.

I just discovered this list of UK MPs by @jaxtait.bsky.social which looks very comprehensive

would be great to get them all verified when you guys can get to them:

bsky.app/profile/did:plc:n45iy5asfprr547iipk2kgzz/lists/3lf6mczl6mr2h

also, I think they're working their way through this handy list of MPs on Bluesky :)

I’m counting a solid 70+ UK MPs who got blue check verified in the last 4 hours.

Are talks of an X ban in the UK getting serious? Prep in progress?

👀 there's no way Sir Keir Starmer actually hits the big red button... Right?

There is, to my mind, no justification for the continued use by the UK Government of X as a platform for official comms. There hasn't been for some time, in fact, but if the latest developments around AI-generated image abuse and CSAM don't change the policy I really don't know what will.

I don't often post about UK politics anymore, but: the far right Reform Party are artificially amplifying their presence / message on social media by the use of bots (fake accounts). Pass it on.

THIS!!!!!!! 👇

Although, I’d say the same about #Starmer, whose lack of action allows its constant #RightWing & #FarRight bias to continue.

He should ensure the #BBC is neutral & bias free.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.

He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.
