🧵1.Forget Cenk & Piker THIS will might be the most controversial post of the day: I’ve just been accused of being a “racist white woman” after me and a white guy very politely asked a young black woman, sitting directly behind us, on a @TfL bus, to please take her very loud conversation off speaker phone. TO BE CLEAR: Fake claims of racism to cover-up anti-social behaviour do not fly with me.

Angela Rayner - £40k underpaid stamp duty - repaid. Lost jobs in Cabinet and Dep. PM. Peter Murrell - £400k theft from SNP - going to prison Huge coverage of both Nigel Farage - £5m undeclared bung (possibly more) - goes to ground for a month. Media coverage? You judge.

@JamesCleverly Fourteen years of Tory neglect is why James. There are so many gaps to plug, and things to rebuild, that a generation would never be enough to repair your damage. Now sit down and be quiet you smug, ignorant popinjay.

Amanda Ungaro (ex-girlfriend of Paolo Zampolli and mother of his son) just dropped a bombshell audio on X… She claims Paolo Zampolli did NOT introduce Melania to Donald Trump it was Jeffrey Epstein… “She was an escort of Jeffrey Epstein. That’s how she met Donald Trump”… This story keeps getting wilder… 👀

Hard truth as always from Mick

I hate this administration *because* I love America.

I deeply resent the implication that I would fiddle my finances. Just because I had to repay €173,000 after being caught funnelling EU funds into my general election campaign, then had my salary docked to recoup €40,000 in misspent EU funds, doesn't mean I'm dishonest.

So the report of the Farage ban on Desert Island Discs was false Quite a nice little distraction story for Reformers to shout about and forget other issues Farage has £5million reasons

This is called ethnic cleansing and displacement, it’s a war crime. @SkyNews act like it’s normal.

Note that the UK Government just banned entry of two American citizens -- @cenkuygur and @hasanthehun -- not because they criticized or worked against the interests of the UK. It was solely because they criticize and oppose the one country deemed sacred and off-limits in the UK and so many other wester countires: Israel. The UK under Labour is also regularly arresting its own citizens for peacefully protesting Israel's genocide in Gaza (including old British ladies and countless Jewish activists at these protests, though they remain free to protest *in favor* of Israel or against any other country). This is all driven by the same dynamic that caused the Trump Admin -- as one of its very earliest top priorities last year -- to force US universities to expel American students protesting Israel, to deport others who merely criticized Israel, and to implement aggressive speech codes to protect Israel from common criticisms (even though one is free to say all the same things about any other country, including the US). Why does this one small country command such special, elevated, supreme status and attention in so many western countries? It's way past time to give that question the attention it deserves and to finally put and end to it.

Ryan Bridge is distancing himself from Billy Allison, who has been charged with murder, and is trying to convince people that he was never one of the original founders of Raise the Colours.

An open letter that should be read by all women (and all men, actually) before they decide to vote Reform. What have we become? 🤷‍♂️

This is counter-productive, authoritarian and chilling. The British state should not be in the business of banning commentators and journalists from entering the country, without compelling reason. Finding their views objectionable is nowhere near enough. theguardian.com/media/2026/jun…

I’ve been banned from the UK. I tried to get on a flight to London to attend SXSW London and give a speech at Oxford. I’ve been banned for criticizing Israel. Are we free anymore? This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!

1. The U.K. Government should reverse its ban on Cenk Uygur from speaking at Oxford. I’ve followed Cenk for sometime. He is an influential American critic of Israel’s war on Gaza. He’s also a strong voice calling out antisemitism. To try to paint @cenkuygur as an extremist is wrong and a serious infringement of free speech.

Peter Mandelson sent a handwritten letter to then Foreign Secretary David Lammy saying that he would "never regret it" if he appointed him as the UK ambassador to the United States.

£715 MILLION to deport just 4 asylum seekers to Rwanda. That’s £178 MILLION per person. A catastrophic failure. A monumental waste of taxpayers’ money. Yet no public inquiry. No accountability. No consequences. Why can’t we ban politicians responsible for this level of incompetence from ever holding public office again? it’s financial vandalism.

Every day, the media comes up with a new way to hate Arsenal. Today, we’ve got ‘Laura Woods should’ve been dropped from TNT’s UCL final coverage because she supports Arsenal and dared to refer to her team with affection.’ That must be why they were all rioting in Paris after.

Not a parliamentarian. Not a member of the Shadow Cabinet. And certainly not the Shadow Home Secretary. Also missed “Ltd” off the end of Reform UK. This is just not true, @ZiaYusufUK

Awkward. Clarkson on Farage in October: “Nigel Farage rarely talks about the economy and when he does, his numbers don’t add up. He says he wants to cut taxes and increase spending by £150bn. Huh? “But before anyone can question his logic, he scuttles back to his safe space and starts raging about small boats.”
