To all the newly-arrived Twitter refugees, I've created a starter pack of UK political journalists, experts, commentators and politicos to follow here go.bsky.app/2CwmVfN

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

Charlie Kirk was killed for saying things "that used to be simple common sense," says Boris Johnson. Here's a few of those things

Kemi Badenoch is absolutely right about this. At the time she hacked Harriet Harman's emails it was an offence carrying a prison sentence of up to five years

Not even bothering to hide it any more

This is farcical. Katie Lam didn't speak "imprecisely". She accurately stated the Conservative party's existing policy, which they tried to pass as a Bill in Parliament earlier this year, and which Badenoch's spokesman defended himself just last week.

So why does the BBC label the academic and economist Faiza Shaheen an "activist" but refuse to do the same for the former academic, turned anti-migrant activist Matt Goodwin?

Nobody had even heard of Katie Lam outside of Westminster until about two weeks ago. Literally all it takes to be considered "brilliant" and a "rising star" on the right of British politics now is just a willingness to say something slightly more racist than all of your competitors

Keir Starmer, who insisted last month that leaving the ECHR “would be a profound mistake" that should be resisted at every turn, has told MPs to abstain on the Reform bill to do so

The political debate about immigration is completely divorced from the reality of what is happening, which is that it has been falling quite rapidly for some time now and is likely to continue doing so bsky.app/profile/jdpo...

After insisting for weeks that the Conservatives' proposed law to deport millions of people with indefinite leave to remain is a "serious plan" Kemi Badenoch's spokesman now says it has been scrapped and they will unveil an entirely new plan in the coming weeks

Keir Starmer's spokesman says they "haven't seen" Elon Musk's demands for a civil war on the streets of Britain. No plans for the Government to leave X

We constantly hear from Nigel Farage and his media supporters that Reform isn't a racist party. Meanwhile, seven out of ten ethnic minority voters say that they are. If only the views of actual victims of racism were heard even half as much as the perpetrators
