Can someone please get this onto Twitter/X? I don’t know if it’s doing the rounds there or not! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

So we are told millionaires are deserting the UK. Many are probably Europeans who no longer feel comfortable here. Others no doubt don’t have pure white skin and so also feel less welcome these days? I hope someone is in a position to research this?

MAGA types don’t seem to care if they suffer from Trump policies, so long as the people they dislike suffer more. Do Faragists feel the same? Reform might pursue policies (eg NHS or State Pension cuts) that traditional parties would not be allowed to consider? Do you think they could succeed?

This is strong & brilliant - we need more of this. 👏

Considering this is mostly a plan that originated under Grant Shapps, it’s depressing this is only happening… 16 months in to the Labour government. Everything is so slow.

Spot on. He kept going despite the interviewer defending Farage & Brexit (as they all do).

I keep being told spending cuts are easy. Honest proposals such as those recently outlined by Policy Exchange show they are not My column www.ft.com/content/f086...

Do I detect the start of a movement in the US to take big money out of politics? Seems like something that would also be very popular in the UK. Limit political donations to £1000 a year per person and ban all organisations making donations.

🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

The irony of course is that Putin finances Reform, not the Greens. But still, let’s gaslight our readers.

When Kemi Badenoch called for a British version of ICE, is this the sort of thing she had in mind?

The consequences for the UK of the EU steel tariffs could accurately be reported as a consequence of Farage’s brexit. But according to the Daily Telegraph, they are down to Kier Starmer. #TwistingTheFacts

We have an independent judiciary in this country. Robert Jenrick wants puppet judges. The Conservative Party once believed in the rule of law and our shared British values - no longer.

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

Wow Starmer finally drawing a line! "If you say or imply that people cannot be English or British because of the colour of their skin, that mixed-heritage families owe you an explanation... If you say that they should now be deported, then mark my words - we will fight you with everything we have".

My message to Reform supporters

This exchange says it all.

Nigel Farage, who uses a private company to deliberately reduce his tax bill on non-parliamentary income from 40% to 25%, says Angela Rayner mistakenly paying less tax "screams entitlement".

Farage has gone to the US to tell them Britain is ”awful” - If you don’t like it over here Nigel maybe don’t catch a return flight?

Love thy neighbor.

“We are presented with the idea of a dystopian hell, as if London is a terrible city." “The truth is that most of it is complete bollocks.” The hard right say London is no longer safe. They're lying www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/the-...

Trump unpromptedly shows reporters a photo of Putin and himself, who he says may be a guest at next year's World Cup in the US: "I'm going to sign this for him... I thought it was a nice picture of him." Putin bombed an American non-military factory in Ukraine yesterday.

Putin: Give me more land free, and I'll stop taking more land at great cost. For now.

A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵 An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.

One of the best ways to cripple Russia’s ambitions longterm would be to moonshot renewables development then spread the tech everywhere super-cheap. Russia produces nothing of significance beyond oil and gas. The economy would tank. Plus a huge win in the fight against the climate crisis.

#UkrainianView putin is a liar who just wants to prepare for an even worse war if everything stops

The government will tax the middle class out of existence instead of trying to tax the vast wealth of the very rich.

🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣

Somehow the general public are still in the dark about PFA’s and their threat to the health of all life on earth 😡 You really should read this….

Forever in all parts of the world now. ProPublica did a good piece on it. 3M has it in 16,000 of their products and makes $1.6 billion annually on destroying our environment www.propublica.org/article/3m-f...

Healthcare budget had increased from 5% of GDP in 2000 to almost 12 today. Defence budget is lower as a share of GDP than it was in 2000.

Transport folk, I wrote a review of the CSR www.freewheeling.info/blog/my-comp...

Want an inspirational day out? Go to the Very Light Rail team in Coventry. You cannot do better. Seriously. It's what I did this week. VLR is Coventry City Council's project to HALVE cost of trams. In a country where councils are broke, Coventry invented a new tram. That alone is worth a cheer.

To the cartoonist who drew this, well done.

This just made me laugh. People thinking that by making themselves poorer they were somehow giving the government a bloody nose Even now they don’t understand that there were no savings from Brexit.

If you eat meat and use airlines, cutting down on everything that's left is (in terms of your own emissions footprint) like trying to save for a London house by giving up your morning avocado toast.

Lincolnshire voters list the NHS as their No.1 concern, yet they vote for the guy who trashed it & will serve it up to his billionaire US donors in a flash. Good luck with those £60,000 hip operations guys. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

@alicewinterhold.bsky.social Comment from Carol Ryder, which may explain some of Trumps strange behaviours. He (Trump) displays all the signs of a person with a profound learning disability. I know this, having taught students for 30 years who all had one or more learning differences. For all….

A fossil fuel free house! Best ever home. Wish I could have done this years ago.

All russians are guilty. They deserve the same. #Ukraine #UkrainianView

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but this very alarming story has been 100% ignored by the big press outlets in the UK. Surely this sets a very unfortunate precedent, I grew up srrounded by Quakers, they're not exactly known for acts of violence, literally the opposite. www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

Well worth reading, we are all a little too complacent at the moment.

😂

I can sort of understand why investment experts might assess the likely effect of Trumps policies without taking into account their unpredictability and instability. But to completely ignore the way he is making enemies of every other nation apart from Russia? Just not worth listening to!!

I understand it is unlikely that the US will have a flu vaccination next year. So I asked AI how this affects the UK. Here’s part of the response.
