My new book 'Killing Strangers' is out now! Not to be confused with the Marilyn Manson song of the same name.

Aren’t we glad for the RMT’s train strikes in 2022 and 2023? They were striking because Conservatives wanted to do away with train guards How much worse would the knife attack on LNER have been without the heroic train guard who intervened? When anyone strikes, it’s worth asking why If it’s to protect safety, uphold standards, or ensure a proper service, we should be grateful that they prioritise the public over profits

And utterly toxic it should remain.
Our membership made it clear, we want: MASS DEPORTATIONS✈️ It is legitimate, and it is legally, and logistically possible.

Because whether he happens to be Muslim or not may not actually be the most important thing about him in context? Just an idle suggestion.
How the hell does the city that experienced the biggest Islamic terrorist attack in history vote for a Muslim mayor?

Wow. Re-read this abstract a couple of times and I'm still completely unsure who is doing the violence to whom.
Seriously, at this point we might as well just scrap the whole system of higher education and start again from scratch.

Glorious, apparently.
The most comprehensive mass deportation policy ever produced in Britain. It is glorious!

Yes, indeed - the semantic gymnastics of @BBCNews to avoid using the word 'rape' are indeed impressive here.
Possibly the most shameful @BBCNews act of cowardice yet- a report about IDF guards raping Palestinian prisoners which doesn't dare use the word 'rape' Israeli military's ex-top lawyer arrested as scandal over video leak deepens bbc.com/news/articles/cy0kpd…

And how the Cork militia beat the Turks at Waterloo.
Don't forget he ended the Bolivia/Armenia border dispute, the Swiss invasion of Japan, and the Nepalese attack on the Solomon Islands People are still checking on Nambia...

Will NOBODY think of the poor plutocrats?
The cat's out of the bag on @reformparty_uk's economic policy. Nigel Farage made it clear yesterday that he wants to place the country at the mercy of rich people. Reform is a bigger threat to Britain's working class than Sir @Keir_Starmer's Labour Party. It's further proof that the political class sitting in Westminster from Labour to ReformUK are totally out of touch with the lives of ordinary people. The turbocharged Thatcherite tribute act on offer from ReformUK would be disastrous for tens of millions of Britons. The current neoliberal Labour govt is bad enough thank you very much, @Nigel_Farage. What's required to fix the UK's economic woes is an interventionist govt that will: ▪︎ invest in modernising our crumbling infrastructure ▪︎ renationalise all the utilities ▪︎ remove the private sector spivs from the #NHS and every other public service ▪︎ reduce the basic rate of income tax ▪︎ introduce a higher minimum wage ▪︎ scrap the two child benefit cap ▪︎ increase social security payments ▪︎ start a massive council house building programme ▪︎ regulate private sector rents If you don't want Britain to be turned into a nation of serfs beholden to the whims of wealthy oligarchs, do NOT vote for ReformUK. theguardian.com/politics/202…

' - tragedies, yes, of course -'
Grateful to @campbellclaret and @RoryStewartUK for their considered questioning and indeed there has been no genocide in Gaza - tragedies, yes, of course - but the ultimate responsibility lies with Hamas

Peak District yesterday - barely escaped with my life. 😂😂
I actually live in a small English village. It’s total codswallop what @elonmusk is saying. We’re not “hobbits under siege” we’re ordinary people - how rude to patronise us like this. It’s fear-mongering dressed up as folklore.

The suppression of Breakthrough News on YouTube in recent months is sooo outrageous. The numbers show it, we have over a million subscribers and suddenly can’t crack like 200 live viewers. And we keep getting comments like this. If you work at YouTube and can help please reach out to me! If you’re in media don’t dismiss this, it will eventually happen to you too if you’re left of center.

Too many of my generation of journalists talk about 'radicalisation' without realising, as they would with a little self-knowledge and humility, that it is they who have been radicalised.

“Why aren’t advocates for Palestinian lives/rights celebrating the Gaza ceasefire???”
Since the ceasefire agreement came into effect on October 11, the Israeli army has pursued a policy of gradual escalation, shifting from intermittent strikes to large-scale waves of killing. During this course of time, 219 Palestinians have been killed, including 85 children, at an average of 10 killed per day, with approximately 600 others injured, an average of 28 injuries per day. These high rates indicate that Israel has not ceased the systematic killing that began more than two years ago.

Zack Polanski making the case to renationalise water Look at the faces on the other panelists! The game is up & they know it: ‘Privatisation was the experiment & it failed’ ‘Pumping dividends to shareholders while pumping sewage into our waters’ ‘It’s time to take it back!’
