The far right are scum and it should be a slam dunk for any government minister to jump on this and describe them this way.
"RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised"
I have spent weeks shadowing the RNLI and I can tell you, they do it out of nothing more than compassion.

I would love to ask a prominent BBC journalist to give me an example of an illegitimate concern. Is seems to me that it has become a question not of fact, logic, or ethics but of volume. If a big enough proportion of a village was anxious about Bigfoot or Chemtrails, BBC would cover it in a way...

Not to be a nat about this but how can a village legally hold a referendum to leave the UK when the Supreme Court ruled against Scotland from being able to hold even a non-binding advisory one?

Genuinely feel insane at how obsessed people are about this. Don't think I've ever felt a single iota of concern about "small boats" beyond concern for the people on them's safety.

Country has completely lost the plot. Hard to see how this will get anything other than worse.
I'm not sure how the UK can turn back at this point. The govt says almost nothing about hundreds of men in black blocking a port, police wait 17 hours to comment on racist mobs in Glasgow, and now we are burning building sites because they MIGHT someday house asylum seekers.

Sometimes I really think a lot of people in politics are just playing pretend. Living out some sort of fantasy. When I was a teenager I was involved in the online micro nation community and this was the kind of stuff we’d do.

Ignoring the terrifying alarm bells of fascism thriving in the UK, it is a little amusing that the fascists of the last century were goosestepping in their brown/blackshirts and military boots, while our contemporary fascists are goosestepping in their Nike airmaxes, tracksuits and gillets.
🚨 BREAKING: Patriot Platform, a new far right group launched by Tommy Robinson’s right hand man Daniel Thomas (AKA Danny Tommo) has blockaded the port and several roads in Dover. The masked men are from subgroups of PP, including Sussex, Essex, and South East Patriots

Nadine Dorries said on C4 News that Reform UK has only existed for 18 months… and so Orr and Jukes were naive and might not have known the law.
Reform has been going since 2022! Which was 4 years ago! And the architecture existed as the Brexit Party! And Jukes has been around for ages!

Are we going to get the 200 articles on James Orr then? Maybe read and interrogate the footnotes of his doctoral thesis? Is Cambridge going to have to issue out statements about its hiring standards?
Just a reminder, Professor James Orr, Reform UK head of policy, teaches 'ethics' to undergraduates at Cambridge University

This has been tried multiple times, under different FMs and PM combos, under different WM and SP party make-ups, while the polling teetered between 48% to 52% either way. Why do we think this is the way to go about getting independence?
🧵 In May, the Scottish Parliament overwhelmingly voted for a call to devolve powers to hold an independence referendum.
Today I published the draft Independence Referendum Bill. It proposes a clear Yes-No question, sets out who can vote, and upon introduction, will include the date.

Keep seeing tiktoks of people complaining that the job centre doesn't help you find or apply for jobs anymore. Rather than it being the case that they're just not interested in helping people find work and more the nature of finding work has changed significantly.
