A friend suffered a major heart attack while out cycling. He survived because people nearby knew CPR and acted fast. It made me rethink how prepared we all are. You can learn #CPR in 15 mins: revivr.bhf.org.uk Free #FirstAid guidance: www.redcross.org.uk/first-aid

‘Nigel Farage Is the Architect of the Uk’s Decline and It’s Time for the Rest of Us to Rebuild Our Home in Europe’ The disastrous Brexit experiment imposed on us by the Reform UK leader and his allies must now be reversed, argues Caroline Lucas

“So Mr Farage, what was it about the total lack of transparency of a system widely used by money launderers, Russian criminals and hackers that first attracted you to cryptocurrency?”

I've just emailed my MP to urge them to defend the European Convention on Human Rights. Use @libertyhq.bsky.social's helpful tool and call on your MP to oppose the watering down of our key protections. secure.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/page/189608/...

“£240 Billion of income that has disappeared” So far… And Farage wants to scrap Labour’s reset, scrap the Brexit deal altogether in fact… and go to a leave-the-ECHR-no-deal Brexit. Has the country completely lost its mind? When will this idiocy stop? Prejudice as policy is ruinous.

Reform UK ran a council for a year. Things went badly ft.trib.al/orbPkmH

And ffs. Billionaire Harborne directs the UK’s journey of travel from his luxury life in Thailand. He’s got his Brexit now. Next is the deregulation fantasy. Stripping us of our rights and protections so that utter wankers like him can sell their crypto and exploit their workers without comeback.

£5m to stand as an MP. Not a bad job if you can get it. 🙄 youtu.be/WXBJdYjPaxg?...

This @richardjmurphy.bsky.social video clearly highlights the results of neoliberal austerity policies being pushed by UK governments over the last 45 years. Progressive parties such as @greenparty.org.uk @scottishgreens.org and @greenpartyni.org need to flag and fix. youtu.be/UG9hr3m_3w8?...

Fresh from telling us how great Donald Trump is, the Reform leader unprompted tells us how many yachts he owns. 🤷 The easiest question of the night. #stvdebate

Do not lose sight of the billions shoveled into Trump’s campaign by big oil. The Iran war is the payoff.

As we hit on another cost-of-living crisis for many in the west, worth remembering where all that money is going And when you hear oil companies bleating about levels of taxation they face www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Voters without ID have just one day left to apply for a free Voter Authority Certificate to use at the upcoming local elections in England. To vote at a polling station, voters must present an accepted form of photo ID. A Voter Authority Cert. is a free form of ID for those who lack any.

Less than 2 weeks now, time to make sure people around you know the truth #BinFarage

Tactical voting just got harder. In England’s new five-party politics, it’s no longer simply Labour vs Conservative. Local dynamics matter more than ever, so check your ward, not just national polls, before voting on 7 May. Stephen McNair explains the how, what & why 👇

"You know what's going to get you huge amounts of press coverage and help get people on your side Mr President?". "A 'shooting' at a dinner full of media correspondents, sir". "They've fallen for it before, they'll fall for it again, sir".

Really interesting interview with Hannah Spencer of the @greenparty.org.uk about her experiences in @ukparliament.parliament.uk. Well worth a watch.

Pope Leo turned the question around like the boss he is.

Perfect

Bills up. Rivers polluted. Years of money extracted from Yorkshire Water through dividends, intragroup interest and offshore‑linked payments. Now households are told to pay more to fix problems that should have been dealt with long ago. People are right to demand real reform.

Why does Farage want to be in politics when it’s obvious he hates people. This probably explains it better than anything. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Superb. Give it 1 minute and then share it with your idiot uncle, and ask him to explain it away.

An exceptional piece of evidenced work by brilliant colleagues examining Reform's UK policy agenda - super detailed and useful to all. Please share widely - as politics and political policies changes quickly, parts of it will go out of date relatively soon. www.unison.org.uk/content/uplo...

Great essay, worth reading. We are "ruled" by sociopaths. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

“Farage rarely turns up to do his actual job. Yet he finds time to jet off around the world on his donor’s private plane and trouser half a million quid while families struggle. Reform are not on your side. They’re just in it for themselves” It’s so obvious, it hurts. www.desmog.com/2026/04/18/n...

Thames Water infrastructure average age is 79 yrs. 40% of assets are 100+ yrs old. Water industry average is 56 years. At current rate, it will take 700+ yrs to renew assets. Since 1989 industry neglected investment, £88bn+ dividends paid, customers fleeced. Privatisation isn't the answer.

Really interesting discussion between @richardjmurphy.bsky.social and John Christensen on the conflict between extreme capitalism and democracy. Well worth a watch. youtu.be/WYY7cQz2aZQ?...

Here it is, all broken down and detailed. Almost 2 MILLION QUID income, on top of his parliamentary salary. And that's what he officially declares. If you really believe that #Farage is on the side of working people... Well, let's just say you're a tad gullible! 🤮 share.google/7CahHgbyiAOQ...

Extraordinary that nowhere in an article on resilience did PM find space to include the growing threat posed to UK security by the dramatic decline in the health of nature around the world - especially since his own intelligence chiefs have recently spelt it out for him in no uncertain terms 👇

Heat pump orders up 2x in a month. Solar panel inquiries up 250%. EV leases up 85%. The Iran crisis has made energy security feel personal. I understand why: I have solar panels, a heat pump & EV on a flexible tariff. When gas prices spike, my bills barely move. www.theguardian.com/business/202...
