If Kier Starmer got behind a podium and announced that he was going to make wifi work in trains, his approval rating would jump 10pc. Instead he just announces shit things and incomprehensible things www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Voters of every major party want water and energy in public hands. Labour, the Tories and Reform want more of the same: private profit over public interest. It’s time for public ownership.

2026 Me: Hey 1996 me, in 30 years time you'll be furious at everything Tony Blair says and think John Major makes some pretty sensible points 1996 Me: Fuck, so I'm doomed to become more conservative as I get older 2026 Me: Well not exactly

Woo! Happy Laurent Garnier day everybody @weare1of100.bsky.social

It’s real “what’s that smell? oh it’s me” weather right now

This is fantastic, I’m going to try it. Also: what is it about journalism that attracts procrastinators? 🤔

Very interesting

My son and I have been watching the Simpsons together and it’s been a real joy to revisit the early seasons with him We’ve now got deep into the seasons that I haven’t seen before We’re currently on season 27

Small boat crossings down 40% on last year. That must be worth a headline.

Reform: protest party, as proved by data

Elon Musk funded a far right rally in London and this government still uses his social media network lol. Beyond laughable

Today, Daily Mirror is the only newspaper that is facing up what has actually happened in this country and what we now have to reckon with, rather than speculating about the future.

Most people want a fairer society, a working democracy, a protected planet. So why split the vote and let the far-right in to destroy it all? Sign the @compassoffice.bsky.social open letter urging progressive leaders to cooperate at the next election: actionnetwork.org/forms/unite-...

If you're worried about whether your NHS Trust is already using Palantir, and would like to ask them not to, you can use this tool that we developed. goodlawproject.org/campaign/sto...

This ⬇️ "More results than ever will involve the winning party getting a disproportionate amount of power, considering the number of votes cast for it; fewer people will get what they voted for. The ever more random roulette wheel of our voting system will produce wildly odd winners and losers."

I'm hiding this under a pic of Frank because obvs word count issues. Here's how to complain to the Electoral Commission about Reform's 'vote for us or you get concentration camps' bullshit. Details in the pic.

Don’t let anyone forget.

The Green Party has a plan for our high streets: ✅ Affordable leases for local businesses 🏚️ Bring long-term empty shops back into public use 🗣️ A real voice for residents in shaping the high street Vote Green in May. Let's bring our high streets back to life. 💚

Who does this description of Kaiser Wilhelm II remind you of? (Written by Christopher Clark in 2015).

A Scottish charity is replacing expensive and grim homeless hostels with a £3m village of private mini-homes, hopefully this could change how homelessness is tackled.

Disturbing. NHS staff should be able to freely raise concerns about the entrenchment of this utterly unethical spy-tech firm in our healthcare system. The largest municipal healthcare network in the US has dropped Palantir after significant protests. We must do the same, before it's too late.

I’ve been investigating how the British state is helping the oil industry shield its record war profits from taxes worldwide. Here are some of the things I’ve found 🧵: 1) Britain is a tax haven itself. Unlike other countries, we don’t tax dividends directly when they’re paid.

Huge if true 🇪🇺

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

Your annual energy bill is set to rise by £332. Gas price volatility feeds directly into higher electricity bills. The Government has the tools to protect households — to break the link between gas prices & your bills — our new briefing explains how. 👇 www.common-wealth.org/publications...

As the right wing press praises Tony Blair for his "rebuke" of Keir Starmer for not supporting Donald Trump's war on Iran ("We should have backed America from the very beginning."), time to re-up @carolecadwalla.bsky.social's investigation into the Tony Blair Institute (mini 🧵)

Keep not watching GB News guys... it's lost £131.5m to date but I'm sure it can do a lot worse than that.

BBC complaint of the day: One week before a crucial by-election that Greens are favourites to win, Question Time has on a Tory, a Reform MP who was also a Tory until recently, a Labour MP and 'centrist' journalist Jon Sopel. My complaint follows. Get yours in now? www.bbc.co.uk/contact/comp...

The editor’s eye: when something is ‘fine’ but still wrong In publishing, 'fine' can be a dangerous word. Writing can be grammatically correct, well structured and perfectly readable – and still fall short. In the age of AI, the editor's instinct matters more than ever: to question claims, test…
