Was in Leicester Square last night, for a comedy show, and stopped by to spend a few minutes watching the people on the pop-up ice rink. Granted, I can’t skate, and never have. But credit to people who can’t, but still try.

Whoever this woman is, we need to hear more from her. People are being manipulated - it’s got to be exposed.
A local lady from Epping told the BBC that they're not all anti asylum-seekers, and they lived alongside them with no trouble in Epping for 5 years. She says that she feels more scared with the violent protesters on their streets.

BREAKING: ICE just tried to deport this woman, but there was just one problem — she was Native American. You read that right: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — the agency supposedly tasked with deporting undocumented immigrants — just tried to deport an Indigenous

Soon, we'll oversee a budget of more than $100 billion — and every dollar will reflect our commitment to working New Yorkers and delivering universal childcare. Good thing some little New Yorkers gave me a counting lesson today!

Despite pressure from the Indian BCCI on our players because of the IPL, we Sri Lankans have chosen to continue our series with our friend Pakistan. The people of Sri Lanka always stand with Pakistan, no matter how much India tries to spread propaganda. Long live! 🇵🇰🇱🇰
Grateful to the Sri Lankan team for their decision to continue the Pakistan tour 🇵🇰🇱🇰. The spirit of sportsmanship and solidarity shines bright. The ODI matches between Pakistan and Sri Lanka will be played on 14th and 16th November in Rawalpindi. #PakistanCricket #PAKvSL

Since there is nothing but hate for Muslims on my X feed, I’m changing my pic for a while to stand with Muslims. This was from a few years back when I went to the local Mosque for EID. #NewProfilePic

I am abolishing Police and Crime Commissioners. For over a decade, they have overseen our police forces but have failed to provide the sufficient democratic oversight they were set up to do. A change that will save us millions and see money reinvested into frontline policing.

Says you, sacked for secret unofficial meetings with the Israeli government.
Starmer has an unofficial foreign secretary acting on his behalf and he must answer serious questions about the role of Jonathan Powell and how he is acting. He has given up the Chagos Islands at a £35bn cost, been caught kowtowing to China, & now they are seeking friendly
