Orbán’s claims of Trump summit triumph mask growing doubts over his grip on power

Thames Water tried to make MP pay its legal fees of up to £1,400 an hour, he asked the Court to put TW into special administration. Blatant attempt to silence MPs. TW paying £200m a year to advisers, charges customers for its failures. Abuses will continue until execs held personally liable.

Single fault at Thames Water sewage works could imperil London’s supply, lead to mass evacuations, military on standby. 60-year-old pumping system not replaced. TW ignored statutory duties, Customer bills hiked to boost exec pay and dividends. removepaywalls.com/https://www....

The school I work in has just sent out this email. I hate this obsession with attendance. I have to sit in a classroom with these children with low level illnesses. I’m glad I had a flu jab this week. Sometimes kids are just not well enough to walk to school in the cold and wet. #PrimarySchool

Apposite across the Atlantic.

English councils plan to sell off social clubs and sports centres to balance books. Social spaces lost forever. Libraries, community centres, school playgrounds, parks closed/sold as council funding cut in real terms to appease the rich. Social vandalism.

This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate. Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents. couriernewsroom.com/news/we-crea...

Trump appears in the Epstein files more than anyone else. More than ANYONE ELSE.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

This is big: elected Republicans in a deep-red state saying NO to Trump even after his personal plea. The balance is shifting - and we have to keep up the pressure everywhere.

Tick-Tock… ⏰ 👀

The Trump regime just killed a rule protecting millions of acres of western Arctic lands from fossil fuel drilling. It’s yet another giveaway to Big Oil — which spent $450 million backing Trump and Republicans and lobbying Congress last year. Watch: https://youtu.be/aDQXiNlM5iM?si=nZag1nV9sKC_JStQ

Is it a good sign when you have to specify that the investigation into sex crimes should include your political enemies but not you?

“Remind me to add ‘philanthropist’ to my LinkedIn profile” From the new Private Eye, out now.

Let's cut through the bullshit: hundreds and hundreds of CHILDREN were RAPED and the US president is engaged in a cover up to conceal the evidence. There could only be one logical reason...

we’re going to war with south america and it’s amazing that we don’t even pretend that congress needs to authorize it anymore

there is a universe where the democrats didnt let republicans steal the election from this guy and the world isnt about to die

Never thought I’d see a UK Green Party leader doing a big interview with Amanpour on CNN, but there’s @zackpolanski.bsky.social crushing it and getting aligned with Mamdani and others.

Q: Is your anticipation that Trump is going to try to remain in the White House after 2028? CHRIS MURPHY: Sure. I think right now he is trying to scheme a way to stay.

Murphy: "It's clearly the biggest scandal in presidential history. He wouldn't be acting this way if he wasn't so deeply worried about what's in those files. What we've already seen is immensely incriminating. Clearly Trump was at the center of a child sex ring ... the scandal could bring him down."

A response to Matt Goodwin on small boat refugees (with record of crime in Germany) committing crime (rape) in the UK.

"We are sleeping in fear." Two weeks after Hurricane Melissa wrecked western Jamaica, officials are grappling with the challenge of trying to find housing for thousands of families.

Your occasional reminder, if you’re in the UK, that it is shaping up to be a hideous bird flu season, with many wildlife casualties (including resident birds, not just winter migrants), and, however soft your heart, it is a Really Bad Idea to handle sick or ‘injured’ birds or bring them inside.

Multiple faith leaders reportedly arrested while protesting at the Broadview ICE facility in Illinois:

The first few hours of Day 1360 of Russia's genocidal war started with Ukrainians in shelters. More innocent lives have been claimed by the Moscow horde. The west unable or unwilling to stop the slaughter despite 1000s of war crimes. We're not incapable, must not be unwilling.

Hen Harrier Susie, whose chicks were stamped to death on a Yorkshire Dales grouse moor in 2022, has been found dead on a N Pennines grouse moor with gunshot injuries. 18+ months of silence about this crime from the police & Natural England. #RaptorResearch raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/11/14/h...

Why all the talk about leadership challenges misses the point that the biggest problem facing this Government is not just a lack of leadership but a lack of clear ideas about what a Labour Government is actually for Until that changes, the question of who sits in No 10 will remain a hollow one.

Ken Clarke humiliates Danny Kruger's new party, Reform UK on #BBCQT "I live in a county with a Reform UK council" "Most of them had no idea what the country council did" "They fought on the promise of reducing waste and council tax" "And they just put up the council tax by the max"

Since September 2023, City Hall has funded millions of free school meals for children in London’s state primary schools 🍎 We’re helping children get the best start in life and saving families hundreds of pounds a year. #NSMW2025

Quick quiz: If this image appeared on your feed, here in the year 2025, would you think it was real or fake? 1/

While assisted dying is a deeply sensitive issue, and I respect their views on the subject, the idea that seven unelected individuals should attempt arrogate to themselves the right of veto over the democratic process by spamming the HoL with hundreds of amendments is profoundly undemocratic.

The irony of Danny Kruger accusing the BBC of left-wing bias when Reform UK - with just 5 MPs - gets more airtime than the Liberal Democrats, who have 72 MPs. The BBC doesn't have a left-wing bias.

I think this is the first time I've EVER heard a politician speak the unflinching truth like this instead of cowardly skirting round the issue. In so doing, @zackpolanski.bsky.social speaks up for all those groups threatened by Trump's actions. We need far more of this courage in politics.

REP. MASSIE (a Republican): “Trump will protect you if you vote the wrong way… if you vote to cover up for pedophiles — but I would remind my Republican colleagues this vote is going to be on your record longer than Trump is going to be president.”

Millionaires group urge Reeves to introduce wealth tax to ‘lift kids of out poverty’. But Govts listen to the City type. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population. Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%. Can't grow economic by squeezing the bottom 50%.
