Here is the Sun's pitifully small apology for its lie about benefits tourism - a lie that was accepted as truth by millions and helped deliver Brexit. These lies are perverting our democracy. At a minimum, apologies should be published in the same location and size as the lie. – at Brighton, England

I'm European. I recently visited the USA for the first time since 2018, hitting up Las Vegas and New York City. What I witnessed left me stunned. 15 American oddities I still can't wrap my head around:

How great to see thousands taking to the streets last night. They want their country back. Back from racists, bigots and fascists intent on causing trouble and violence.
Starting to feel something I haven’t felt for a while tonight. Proud of my country.

Are you watching @elonmusk? Do you understand the significance of these two particular papers standing with these huge crowds and overwhelming UK public opinion… …and against you & your bot army incitement of thugs to a “civil war”? My country is better than that. Learn it.

Can I interest you in a little hope? Cried tears of hope and pride seeing the footage tonight. I hope those terrified in asylum hotels can see all the people that support them and our human rights lawyers. Well done @AntiRacismDay Fuck the far right. THIS is who we are 🇬🇧

Columnists, front pages, predictably from the Daily Mail group (have a look at the company’s offshore tax structure) - super rich stoking up tensions in poorer sections of society - the super wealthy Reform Ltd “directors” - the super rich Tories and their donors…. An endless list - GB News half owned “offshore” - Nadhim Zahawi and the Telegraph - Sunak and “mob rule” - hedge funds based offshore but owners buying our media See the pattern? None of them give a flying crap about the people they claim to represent Why? Because it doesn’t affect them in any way, other than gives them political support so they can get their hands on our money once more You think it’s anything other than that then give your head a wobble Tories have tried to destroy every part of our infrastructure for their own benefit Meanwhile taxes will rise to pay for damage Police will struggle to retain staff NHS struggles Oh but the offshore media companies and the super rich continue to influence at the very top level - but not pay the same tax rate that you do That’s where my anger is also aimed
No idea how yesterday happened. None at all.

Is it just me but suddenly everything feels …. normal ? No more psycho dramas and scandals. Like the grown ups are back in Govt & people can get on with their lives watching politics out the corner of their eyes. Safe

That Nigel Farage will do well tomorrow - despite his public admiration of the adjudicated rapist & convicted felon Donald Trump; the alleged people trafficer & proud misogynist Andrew Tate & the genocidal maniac Vladimir Putin - illustrates perfectly how f*cked the UK media is.

This is getting ridiculous - how can Farage constantly get airtime with no one pointing out to him & viewers the Brexit he championed has by almost every economic & financial measure been disastrous for the UK? If that outrages you as much me RT this widely

How have we arrived at a place where it looks like Reform Party, who’s main policy seems to be keep foreigners out of the UK, are polling ahead of the Green Party who want a better world for everyone? It’s very sad, & disturbing.

Chris Patten, the sort of intelligent, morally-driven Tory that was permanently ostracised under the Johnson clownshow, has committed another murder. He’s so angry he even swears twice. I could watch this all day. Absolutely superb, as always. 👏

Where is the media @BBC @LBC @itvnews @MailOnline @itn when hundreds of thousands peaceful protests march for nature? @ChrisGPackham 100% correct when he said that the media only report whena bit of cornstarch is thrown on #Stonehenge #marchfornature

As most country folk will tell you, and to which ⁦@RSPB_BurtonMere⁩ ⁦@Natures_Voice⁩ found out to their cost, and the cost of all the avocet eggs and chicks this year (again!) never underestimate the determination of a badger. Predator fences …

I only recently learned about the cult classic on BBC Radio 4 “The Shipping Forecast”. This #map shows the regions the program refers to. Probably very boring if you aren’t British or into maritime navigation. Source: buff.ly/2oaLSGd

My mum’s book group read @DrMichaelMosley’s Just One Thing recently and one of them produced this summary of his brilliant, sensible, achievable advice (that we could all benefit from following!) #MichaelMosley #RIPMichaelMosley
