Cancelling Stamp Duty is for millionaires, these are the savings in London. Up to £500,000 - £0 £600,000 - £5,000 (1x) £1,200,000 - £48,750 (Nearly 10x) £2,400,000 - £186,750 (37.3x) £5,000,000 - £498,750 (99.75x)

'COVID-19 vaccination is an important part of protecting yourself if you're at increased risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19. These are offered because viruses change and protection fades over time. It's important to top up your protection if you're eligible.' #NHS www.nhs.uk/vaccinations...

“Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar” Never forget or forgive that Trump, Rubio, & Musk *chose* to inflict this monumental level of death and suffering on the poorest & most vulnerable people.

"We are an incredibly successful multicultural society that has integrated and welcomed people from diverse backgrounds "What we should fear is the importation of the Trumpian politics of fear and division. That, Mr Jenrick, is distinctly unBritish" Me for @theipaper.com inews.co.uk/opinion/robe...

Racist comments about Handsworth and making judges political appointments. Sums up Jenrick. Where I live it's 95% white (at a guess), so logically we have diversity problems here. And politically appointed judges do not serve the people they serve an ideology. youtu.be/6wiqu3C5xv0?...

I'm really happy to see these offshore wind-supporting fishermen that I profiled in June finally getting attention from major TV broadcasters like CBS News. Not all fishermen hate wind farms! www.cbsnews.com/video/trump-...

Another tax cut promised by the Tories - abolishing stamp duty on home purchases. That is another £9bn tax cut, likely on top of their £48bn cuts already announced and spent. Skewed to the wealthiest / those purchasing the biggest houses. People like me if I moved home - but I reject this plan.

Kemi Badenoch, who was part of a Government that delivered 14 years of economic stagnation and record increases in immigration, says the Conservatives are "the only party that can deliver a stronger economy and stronger borders"

Badenoch's speech completely detached from reality with no mention of protecting our communities from the climate crisis - particularly in light of her party’s plans to scrap the Climate Change Act and throw away Britain's progress on preventing climate breakdown

If you want to win over younger voters, telling them they can't go to university is probably not going to help.

Voters in the UK are just as bad as those in the US. They are going to vote for a party that they think isn't as extreme as the party claims. They believe that Reform won't devastate the renewable's sector despite what they say in public renewables and climate science.

🚨Winston Churchill at the Hague Congress in 1948: "In the centre of our movement stands the idea of a Charter of Human Rights, guarded by freedom and sustained by law". This meeting was crucial in shaping the ECHR. Maybe it is time to listen to those who faced down fascism.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?” “Because that’s what they are” @vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference. #Newsnight

Pochinoccio strikes again. Reform UK’s @SarahForRuncorn has removed a video about Runcorn Boxing Club after lying about her helping getting funding for them. Statement by the club has shown her to once again have made up things about representing her local area. www.facebook.com/share/p/1CXr...

Make no mistake. The recent incursions in our skies are part of a pattern of growing threats. It’s time to call it by its name. This is hybrid warfare. Europe must get the capacity to respond and protect our skies. Work has begun. → link.europa.eu/4Fxrqr

1,611 homeless Britons died last yr, including 11 children & babies under the age of one. Contrary to Suella Braverman, homelessness isn't a lifestyle. It is a failure of society. Yet govts cut wages/benefits, public services, local council funding; no curbs on profiteering. How civilised are we?

So, the plan is to cut English, the arts, and sociology - the degrees that actually study culture - while on another part of your platform claiming to “defend” British culture. It’s performance nationalism with a reading age of seven.

Treasury pushing for weakening of protections for England’s national parks & national landscapes to make it easier for developers. Once lost, they are lost for ever Rehabilitate empty homes. Ever thought about building houses on the estates of the rich? Can't they live in smaller houses?

It would take the average UK earner 52 years’ worth of earnings to join the richest 10%. Up from 38 years in 2006-08. Rich buy political influence. Govts help the rich. Bottom 20% pay higher proportion of income in than the richest 20%. Inequalities obstruct economic growth, fuel social unrest.

BREAKING: UK steel set for further hit as EU to double tariffs The EU is hiking the tax on steel it imports, with the tariff to be 50%, double the 25% currently levied by the Trump administration in the US and the EU's current rate news.sky.com/story/uk-ste...

Most council budgets were so tight anyway that it seemed unlikely further cutbacks would be possible… Via The Guardian

Another benefit of Brexit ... the UK has returned to its traditional role as the dirty man of Europe. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Lords Heseltine & Kinnock seem more alive to these self-evident truths than most members of the Commons. Similarly, I find thinkers with direct lived experience of far right dictatorship, Greeks of a certain age for example, crystal clear about what’s happening now.

Conservative MP Mel Stride claims PIP benefit is thousands of pounds per month. No it is an absolute maximum of £720 a month, and most people only get £250 or less. Meanwhile he claims £1,250 a month in rent on his expenses Lying, thieving b******

The heat pump will take in waste heat from one of the site's steam crackers, and deliver 500,000 tonnes of steam per year to drive formic acid production.

The Tories are becoming UK destroyers of civilization. Heat pumps are absolutely essential for decarbonising energy. @chiefgeekad.bsky.social needs to talk to them about cutting costs and sorting out the industry.

In Discworld, cities thrive because they welcome dwarfs, trolls, vampires, and humans alike. Ankh-Morpork works because everyone belongs. Funny how fiction can seem more humane than policy sometimes.

As the world moves forwards and embraces renewable energy, At Conference, the Tories plot to drag us back — abolishing the Climate Change Act and ‘maximising extraction’ of North Sea oil and gas.

Of course the Tories would argue they want everyone to be able to afford the good boots, but in reality they keep the boot down on those struggling to get by.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Dear media and OMG, lawmakers: Stop using ‘illegal immigrant.’ It’s inaccurate, dehumanizing, and lazy. People aren’t illegal. Crossing a border without papers doesn’t erase your humanity. Let’s call them what they are: undocumented immigrants. Language shapes perception. Let’s get it right!

NEW | Solar and wind OUTPACED global electricity demand growth in the first half of 2025, leading to a fall in fossil fuels compared to this time last year ☀️🌪️ Record solar and steady wind growth is reshaping global power as renewables OVERTAKE coal for the first time. https://loom.ly/c-MNZSk

Here’s the real picture 👇 Only about 3–5% of all immigrants in the UK are classed as low income That means 95–97% are working, paying taxes, and supporting public services — not draining them

💧 A lot of people seem to be unhappy with the EU directive on tethered bottle caps. 🙁 We love it! 😃 It’s a simple fix for a serious problem. #MarinePollution kills millions of animals every year, and 80% of marine pollution originates from the land. #ESD #Sustainability #GreenSky #EduSky

Despite the noise, renewables keep rising now generating more electricity than coal. @iea.org halved its US outlook, but raised India’s by 10%, putting it on track as the No. 2 growth market after China. MENA up 23%, driven by Saudi wind and solar.
