- Reposted by Mike JelfsWe're really proud of the platform we've built at Bold Politics in just four months and whilst we've loved having the hosts of Match of the Day and Loose Women on, it's also important that we share the stories of people without platforms too.
- Reposted by Mike JelfsQuestions about Mandelson, his heinous crimes and how much Starmer knew. Dan Norris, elected as Lab MP, arrested - 2 counts of rape. Tulip Siddiq sentenced to 4 years. I wonder why Labour have made 3 attack videos about me in the last 24 hours? They're done. Finished. Toast.

- Reposted by Mike JelfsI was heckled by another MP while asking about inclusive relationship education in schools Sickened but not really surprised that homophobia is alive and well on the bench behind me 'They're primary school kids' he says - as if no primary school kids have lesbian or gay parents!
- Reposted by Mike JelfsWeek by week - Laura Kuenssberg is interviewing the party leaders. When I agreed to come on the show, I was told Nigel Farage was also doing it. He's now pulled out - and they've sent the deputy instead. The same Nigel Farage who's refusing to debate me. A pattern emerging...
- Reposted by Mike JelfsA real shame if this photo went viral again today.
- Reposted by Mike JelfsYou're part of the "Local Democracy Reporting Service" - your brief includes: "The Local Democracy Reporters' brief is to report on the decision-making process: what decisions are made in the public's name and how they are arrived at, what evidence is presented to the council, etc" That's missing.

- Joseph Goebbels never won a Nobel Prize. In 1943, Knut Hamsun simply gave him the medal he’d been awarded in 1920. That distinction gets lost surprisingly often.

- Reposted by Mike JelfsDaily Mail confused again. Not uncomfortable supporting women in Iran or calling out the regime’s digital blackout. What is uncomfortable is the hypocrisy of those supporting genocide in Gaza while pretending to be champions of human rights. Silent when journalists are banned.
- Reposted by Mike JelfsNadhim Zahawi and family fled to the UK from Saddam Hussein's Iraq as a child refugee in 1978. Unable to speak English when he arrived, he became a hugely successful businessman and an MP before serving as Chancellor of the Exchequor. His origin story is the very antithesis of the Reform narrative.

Kemi Badenock is starting to make Liz Truss look like an absolute genius. - Of all the things that have happened in the #USA this year, this IMHO is the most chilling, not the first point raised, but the fact that that Trump and Vance are setting up their own legal system avoiding the FBI. youtu.be/NP7lj0rxjFo?...
- What’s chilling isn’t one dramatic act, but how “normal” each step is made to sound. Deciding who can investigate whom, asserting immunity in advance, and centralising prosecutorial authority under the executive all point in the same direction. 2/3
- History shows you don’t need mass arrests for autocracy to take hold; hollowing out accountability is often enough. 3/3
- Reposted by Mike Jelfs"The maximum time a prisoner can spend on remand is 182 days (six months). Yet Muraisi and Ahmed were arrested in November 2024, and are not due to be tried until June at the earliest, which means they will be remanded for 20 months." Shameful. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

- Reposted by Mike JelfsOn BBC News today: striking that it’s the two old establishment parties - Labour and the Conservatives - refusing to condemn the US breaking international law and doing what it wants. Feels like politics stuck in the past, while the public has clearly moved on.
- Reposted by Mike JelfsFive days into the Government's 'strong start to January.' Day 1 blame the voters. Day 2, blame the civil service. Days 3-5, ignore international law. Voters & civil service didn't make a Labour government cut winter fuel payments & refuse a wealth tax. Join.greenparty.org.uk
- Reposted by Mike JelfsDarren Jones saying repeatedly the Labour Government won't comment on a hypothetical. It's not hypothetical - Trump is saying very loudly repeatedly what he's done and boasting about it. And yet the UK Government won't even say it's a breach of international rules. Shameful.
