Hooray! Finally someone is saying the bleeding obvious.
Let’s sort out what people and the planet needs, and stop blaming the most vulnerable. @LibDems
"The media and the politicians are in some kind of dance of death where they won't talk about anything except immigration."
Guardian columnist Zoe Williams tells @krishgm that both the press and government vastly overstate how concerned the public actually is about immigration.

Ten years on, we have the worst of both worlds on immigration and asylum.
Without freedom of movement, businesses face red tape while losing skilled workers. Restoring it cuts business costs, creates quality jobs for Young people, and helps us tackle the crisis together.

The Kremlin wants the world to forget who started the war. On 24 February 2022, Putin ordered an unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine, unleashing the largest war in Europe since the Second World War.
The war was not ‘forced upon’ Russia.
Russia chose to invade.

Tremendous news, well done Serbia 👏👏👏👏
This is an extraordinary result: a rejection of Vučić’s government’s authoritarian suppression of opposition and a victory for democracy and free speech. The Student List have shown amazing courage. Putin will be furious to lose one of his loyal allies.

The PM is, according to this report, now publicly making the case for Freedom of Movement.
So, expecting to hear lots of mentions of all the benefits of FOM & immigration. Hopefully.

Brexit has been catastrophic. It's time to rejoin the EU.

Bravo! Well done @CABS_REPORTS
Huge victory for wildlife in Lebanon! 🚨
Our teams have dismantled over 63,000 m² of illegal bird nets this autumn, saving an estimated 60,000 migratory birds as a result.
200+ birds rescued + 165 mist-nets dismantled on our latest mission alone!
Huge thanks to @LebISF 🫡 🕊️

Labour, the Conservatives and Reform decided to not back British Farming last night in Parliament.
The Liberal Democrats will keep fighting for farmers and pushing for the support our rural communities deserve.

Ukraine already prohibits under-18s from heavy and hazardous work. Russia is now falsely portraying Ukraine’s new occupational safety law as child exploitation, when its aim is to strengthen worker protections and align Ukrainian standards with those of the EU.
If the Kremlin had any genuine concerns about the welfare of Ukrainian children, it would end its invasion and stop the indiscriminate attacks that have killed and injured over 3,500 children.

Food security is a vital part of our national security.
So why did the Government open a funding source during the day, before closing it six hours later?
Farmers deserve fair funding and a fair shot at accessing systems of support.
What a sickening idiot he is.

Isaac Powell killed this lion through 'blood, sweat & tears' in Mozambique with Cabassa Safaris. He couldn't stay home. the kill urge was overwhelming.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk undermined Ukraine's defences – directly aiding Putin's war machine.
That's beyond the pale. The Prime Minister must stand up to Trump and forge a united front in Europe.
We cannot allow Musk and Starlink to gain even more power over our continent.

Throughout its illegal invasion, Russia has damaged or destroyed 155 churches, more than 4,200 educational institutions, and over 1,800 medical facilities in Ukraine. Last month alone, 328 civilians were killed and 2,105 injured as a result of Russian attacks.

In a press statement yesterday, Russian MFA spokesperson Maria Zakharova mockingly asked what it is that Russia has ever done to the Netherlands.
On 17 July 2014, a Russian missile downed MH17 over eastern Ukraine. All 298 people on board were killed, including 80 children. Among the victims were 196 Dutch nationals.

Let us be one again. 🇬🇧🇪🇺
A warm welcome to every UK citizen. No matter how you voted on Brexit, our door is always open.
It's time to heal the rift, look forward, and face tomorrow’s challenges together ❤️
Let us be one again 🇪🇺🇬🇧

Of course, we are not losing this war. But we are losing people. Because of the Russian attacks, we're losing people and time. It's such a pity, because our children don't have a real life and childhood. Not only children, but all people. That's why we need to end this war as quickly as possible. I hope that our partners, Americans and Europeans, will help us. God bless, our strong soldiers stay strong on the battlefield. It helps me stay strong during any kind of negotiations.

This shows what a Reform UK government would look like.
No more freedom of the press.
No scrutiny.
With a party mired in dodgy finances and foreign crypto donations, investigative journalism has never been so important.
STATEMENT:
Reform UK has reported ITV, its board, and its undercover reporters to the police.
Some of the crimes carry up to 10 years in prison.
They forged a passport.
They directly interfered in elections and almost certainly altered the results. Being paid to “canvass” for Reform in crucial wards we lost by a few dozen votes.
They lied to a veteran about their service and left him “violated”.
This is unprecedented.
The police are now involved.
Scrutiny of political parties is one thing.
But anyone breaking the law to try and ruin the lives of Reform’s staff, members or volunteers will be reported to the police and pursued relentlessly in the courts.
Here’s what happened 👇
