France is to boost its nuclear arsenal and extend the deterrent to cover other European countries, in a major development of its nuclear defence policy www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Does he have to return the FIFA Peace Prize now?

Farage cannot cope with his own unpopularity. At all. With the media’s help and huge foreign donations, his ego has been massaged into such a state of entitlement that he thinks he’s answerable to no one and simply owed power. It’s become a national imperative to prove him wrong.

Global oil prices have risen sharply after Iran's response to US and Israeli airstrikes disrupted shipping, raising the prospect of a new energy-led surge in inflation news.sky.com/story/oil-pr...

Should OPEC decide to boost oil output significantly, due to conflict supply pressures in and around Iran a surge in oil production may slow investments in alternative energy. Trump's 'drill baby drill' notion is happening.

It’s no wonder the majority of the public want to rejoin the EU - isolation has cost us our freedoms and has devestated the economy. The future must be European if we are serious about repairing the damage.

I actually am unhinged enough to think it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he launches a war to distract from Epstein files and have a reason to declare a national emergency to suspend voting. It’s not as if lost lives matter to him.

I really would like what I learned from being Labour candidate against Greens (2015, 2017, 2019, 2024) to be useful. Did an article for @thehousemag.bsky.social couple of weeks back, yesterday an interview on R4 PM 👇🏽 c 17.10ish. Can discuss further. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

‘We’re going into a dark place’: Brit awards artists voice alarm over Reform UK’s rise

This is an illegal, unprovoked and brutal attack that shows once again that the USA and Israel are rogue states. The UK must end our cosy relationship with the USA and our ongoing support for Israel.

During the U.S. and Israel attack in Iran on Saturday, dozens of people, most of them likely children, were killed when a strike hit a girls’ elementary school in Minab and a high school in Tehran, according to Iranian health officials, state media and a human rights group.

Trump is going to war for himself and his boundless, malicious ego. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-war

You did the right thing as politicians are never challenged honestly and directly by the press, well done Martin.

Anthropic rejected a request from the Pentagon to allow it to have unrestricted access to its AI model, taking issue with the agency using the model for mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons.

Trump’s attacks Iran. Wants a puppet regime, as in Venezuela. A sistraction from Epstein files. There will be years of chaos. UN is emasculated. Trump still wants to annex Gaza, Canada, Greenland, Panama, Colombia; and a Nobel Prize for Peace. Only nuclear-armed states are safe from Trump.

No half-sentient person would trust Trump with a barbecue, and here we are watching him start a war to distract from his weapons grade depravity & incompetence.

Trump's "Golden Age"

Everything the Ellison family could own if Paramount buys Warner Bros: Paramount+ CBS CNN Showtime HBO Warner Bros TNT TBS MTV DC Studios Nickelodeon Comedy Central Cartoon Network And more... This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped. State AGs must step in and block it.

Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

The Epstein files continue to wreak havoc among America’s (and the United Kingdom’s) wealthy elites. The havoc seems to be getting closer to Trump. Will it actually bring him down? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/office-hours-is-epstein-finally-about

Extraordinary that in these fractious & divided times, so many of us can unite around the single, simple fact that Matthew Goodwin is an irredeemable twat.

Why? Simple answer, distraction from the Epstein files.

Brexit promised us £350 million a week to fund our NHS, but a decade later, the UK is losing £250m a day in lost tax revenue. It's time to repair our relationship with the continent to reclaim our place at the heart of Europe.

BREAKING: Angela Rayner response to Gorton and Denton by-election result

Netflix walks away from Warner Bros deal, paving way for Paramount victory

MASSIVE CONGRATS TO HANNAH SPENCER! Greens win Gorton & Denton by-election. 💚

Thank god. A great win for Hannah Spencer and the Greens, for #GortonAndDenton and for progressive voters. Made even greater by the huge Reform sulk. And the fact that the hateful Goodwin got whooped. Now Labour, look to your left because you will not win from the right. We’re sick of that failure.

Netflix won't counter Ellison's offer. Ladies and gentleman, the full right wing power grab is here and will now be beamed into every home on CBS, CNN, HBO, movies from Warner and Paramount. about.netflix.com/en/news/netf...

The Warner Bros. Discovery board has deemed Paramount's latest takeover offer "superior" to the existing deal for Netflix to buy Warner Bros and HBO. Warner Bros. Discovery, WBD for short, has not scrapped the Netflix deal. https://cnn.it/4aFiZdZ

Nobody paid to explain or understand politics has the first idea what’s going to happen in Manchester tonight. Their guess is, quite literally, as good as yours. And unless the result is a truly comprehensive victory, it will tell us next to nothing about the bigger political picture. Night night x

‘Magic beneath the surface’: pioneering geothermal plant launched in Cornwall

Yesterday in Brussels, Peter Kyle travelled to Brussels to sign an agreement to cooperate closely with the EU on competition issues, stating that "the public have always been looking forward". We hope that the Government listens, and commit to rebuilding our relationship with Europe even more.

Can everyone watch Dirty Business on channel 4.... It's about water pollution and then complicity of the environment agency, the Cameron government with Liz Truss as minister... It's mental.

I've written to my MP #Johnslingermp about "shit" in our rivers around rugby. Enough.

🚨BREAKING: Reform UK would repeal Labour's employment rights and renters reforms, says the party's Business spokesperson Richard Tice 'We have to have a Great Repeal Act,' he said at a press conference in the West Midlands JUST DON’T VOTE REFORM

Swaggering moron, Tice, confirms again that Reform will scrap Labour’s improvements to workers’ rights. Know your place plebs. Reform is a party for rich, racist white men who want to remove your rights to protect their interests. Don’t be their useful idiot. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/reform...

Unions enforce your employment rights. Unions can help if you’re discriminated against or mistreated by your employer. Reform doesn’t want you to have that help. They don’t care how badly you’re treated at work. They’re taking the piss out of you. You should mind. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Tomorrow, 24 February 2026, from 4:30pm until 5:30pm, Parliament will be debating the Impact of the 2016 EU membership referendum on the UK organised by Stephen Gethins MP (shown). Over 11,000 of you have written to your MPs to urge them to attend - it's going to be a lively one.

TV tonight: a furious drama about water companies dumping raw sewage

Trump loves suing people.... so the PM should take a leaf out of his book. Starmer should sue the President for illegal damage to the British economy. Don’t worry Donald - we will settle for £100bn, that’s how it works right?
