Putin smashed up Chechnya so badly in 2000s that its capital Grozny was declared the most destroyed city on Earth. At the time, Putin struck up an extraordinary bond with PM Tony Blair, who increased UK weapons licenses for Russia by 550% as Chechnya was reduced to rubble.

The Pytchley have finally packed up. Police at the Kennels after a long and violent day. Cars damaged, sabs assaulted, blatant fox hunting, armed police response. Full report to follow. Petrol pennies very gratefully received 🙏 buy.stripe.com/14k9Bc5EhaXz9…

In the words of Kate Osamor MP, former Shadow Minister, 'The Forde report was a call to action. It must not be ignored'. If the Labour Party is to eradicate racism in the party it must fully implement the recommendations of the Forde report.

I've seen people getting sacked for being sick. I've seen people get sacked for making honest mistakes. I've seen people be sacked out of managerial spite. Now I've seen someone not get sacked for beating a dying man even after its deemed "gross misconduct".

As a migrant, I can say this one needs to be deported, a real drain on public energies.

The asylum seekers of today are our doctors, carers, teachers, neighbours and friends of tomorrow. Proud to join thousands of anti-racist campaigners today to stand up for our shared humanity, oppose the Tories’ asylum ban, and say loudly and clearly: refugees are welcome here.

Braverman will have a list of journalists/outlets who aren't prepared to enthusiastically promote her lies and extremism. In Germany in the 1930s these were known as the Lugenpresse.
Very worrying. “… it emerged that the Guardian, BBC, Daily Mirror, Independent & i newspaper were not invited [on Rwanda trip]. The home secretary will be accompanied by journalists from organisations including GB News, Daily Mail and Telegraph” theguardian.com/politics/202…

Rishi Sunak said he would release his Tax Returns by last Christmas to prove that he pays tax. He hasn’t, and he doesn’t. Someone who doesn’t pay tax shouldn’t be able to be an MP, and definitely not the PM. RT if you agree.

I wonder what @Keir_Starmer has to say about this attack on Trade Unions from a company whose owners include Lord Sainsbury of the recent £2,000,000 donation to Labour? I'll guess absolutely zero.
The decision by @sainsburys to transfer unionised workers in East Kilbride to the NIC Group, who fail to recognise collective bargaining rights, is shameful. The company must know that @unitetheunion will oppose this. uk.news.yahoo.com/sainsbury-…

Albert Einstein warned in 1949 that the time would come when the very rich so controlled the means of communication that it would be almost impossible for ordinary people to make informed decisions and so democracy would then be broken We live in the time Einstein warned about

According to @thetimes, UK's government's repression of basic democratic rights of protest, now puts it on a par with El Salvador. #ImprisonedForTellingTheTruth #SmellTheCoffee
