British republicans. None of the main political parties at the moment support abolishment or the far-reaching reform this country desperately needs. There is one political party that does support abolishment and says so in its manifesto. Have a look. breakthroughparty.org.uk

#BanjoAFascist As there’s not likely to be a Police Officer nearby when fascists are harassing someone here’s what one should do. The thick fascist will no doubt film everything so it will be self-defence if you do the following and #BanjoAFascist

No child should ever have to sit twenty layers deep in a rubber dinghy at three in the morning to reach a country that armed the war they fled.

The media took the word of a known racist, then hounded and executed Jason Arday, a Black professor, in the square of public opinion. Now they write his obituary. Cambridge cashed in, then walked away. The government looked on. The media. The university. The state. All culpable

249 articles in 22 days on one Black professor. 188 in the 9 days from resignation to death. Every stage was racism and profit. The dossier. The rebranding. The volume. The public lynching. The obituary. Now the debate about the pile-on. One media industry. Paid at every stage. RIP Professor Jason Arday.👇🏾

*except Palestinian, Iranian and Lebanese Muslims whose suffering you’re directly complicit in
Warmest wishes to Muslims who are marking the end of Ramadan across the UK and around the world. May your Eid‑al‑Fitr be joyful and full of peace. Eid Mubarak.

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor was arrested yesterday. Was our day vastly affected? Did our lives change? If Camilla went to live in Peru, would we notice? If Willy & Kate went on permanent holiday, instead of just twice a month, would it rock our worlds? Nah. #AbolishTheMonarchy

Age has absolutely nothing to do with this. When you’re King and the Royals front anti-abuse charities, silence isn’t dignified, it’s cowardly. Shoving Andrew into a grace-and-favour cottage isn’t enough. It’s just try to hide the problem and hope we forget. We won’t.

No way do you get to give that cynical pass to the King nor waste of space William, time their escaping with impunity stops here and now. #AbolishTheMonarchy

The outriders are a dangerous perk. Here the impatient royal refuses to wait because it is a perk not a necessity The outriders then speed through red lights escorting no one. These selfish impatient royals put us all at risk
The dangers of the royal motorcade Leaves early too impatient to wait for outriders Outriders take off to try and catch up Speed through a red light while Not escorting anyone The motorcade is only a perk if you don’t wait for the security staff #notmyking #kingcharles

Despite claims from the palace, Andrew remains Duke of York and Earl of Inverness. They were being dishonest when they claimed they’d been removed. #AbolishTheMonarchy

Why does Sophie need a police escort? Absolute nonsense and unnecessary danger to the public.
Why did the Duchess of Edinburgh “have to go back for tea at Windsor at 60mph and cause a death?” The brother of Helen Holland - killed by a police outrider escorting Sophie through London - says he doesn’t understand why her convoy was travelling at such speed. “Crazy, I don’t understand it”, he told @itvnews itv.com/news/2025-11-18/fami…

More empty PR. What they mean is that a charity has written a statement and her press office have agreed to it being put to her name. That's it.
The Princess of Wales says "Addiction is not a choice or a personal failing...it must be met with empathy and support." As Patron of @ForwardTrust, Catherine is backing #AddictionAwarenessWeek, urging the nation to talk openly to end stigma. gbnews.com/royal/kate-middle… 📸PA

The Lords have no reasonably defensible right to do anything. The sooner they're scrapped and replaced with an elected upper house the better.
Important to remember that the Assisted Dying bill was in no one’s manifesto, had inadequate scrutiny in the commons, passed with a much reduced majority at 3rd reading, is attracting increasing opposition from experts and that Lords have the right and duty to scrutinise it well.

Lord Edmiston worth £855m, donated £1m to Brexit. Is now leaving the UK because it is 'chaos'. Everyone who voted Brexit is running away or dying. Why do we keep it?

Mickey Mouse Jenrick, the racist who as a Minister in the last government had cartoon murals painted over at an immigration centre just in case looking at them made some little brown-skinned kids feel welcome breaks parliamentary rules.
In Calamity Lammy’s last 24 hours he’s: -refused to explain himself in Parliament as he feared ‘career suicide’ -refused to say how many prisoners have been let out mistakenly and how many are still at large -created more confusion by getting the timeline of events wrong

Charles and Williams take tens of millions of pounds out of the Duchies each year, despite having no right to it. #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy #DitchTheDuchies
