Brilliant news. Miatta Fahnbulleh is by far the best person Andy Burnham could’ve appointed to this role. The energy transition will accelerate. bsky.app/profile/poli...

Maybe he can put climate change at the top of the international agenda?

Yeah, come on Andy. Sort it out!

His mother, María Arthuer, crossed the Sahara Desert barefoot in 1994. She climbed over Melilla’s border fence penniless and pregnant with Iñaki. Today, her son is a world champion. #respect

This feels like it got buried amid all of the mounting allegations around Reform and Farage's funding. Farage leases property that he owns, to his own company, at exactly £10,000/year. That's a penny under the "over £10,000" rental-income declaration threshold. What is he trying to hide?

No it's not,it's called due process. Just because you are a bunch of rich entitled twats doesn't mean that rules don't apply to you. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Why is Kemi Badenoch never asked about the hefty funding the Conservative party has taken from the oil industry and its lobby groups whenever she talks about her decision to scrap her commitment to Net Zero?

Oh THAT kind of acid. I thought that they were trying to make the AI engines hallucinate more.

Andy Burnham is suggesting "honesty" in UK politics. OK, I'll start.... -Brexit has made us much weaker -Well-organised immigration is a boon and not a bane -big money in politics and our media is destroying the UK

Winner of the internet today!

Oh dear, it appears that "man of the people" Nige has just told an outright lie about his funding. Best work advice that I ever got was "Always tell the truth. Then you only have one thing to remember"

Laura Kuenssberg, Andrew Neil, and the BBC apparatus which gave Cambridge Analytica a chance to undermine @carolecadwalla.bsky.social’s investigation before it was published, called law breaking ‘rule breaking’, demeaned her as a mad cat lady, and fluffed Farage, deserve all the ignominy of history

Carole has been on this since day one, and has been harried through the courts, nigh on bankrupted; ridiculed and dismissed as a "crazy cat lady" by the euroseptic Andrew Neil. They knew what she knew, and they knew she had to be silenced. 10 years later the story finally appears in the RW press.

Just because my convicted fraudster chum set up an account with an obscure Australian payment company just before his mother transferred £500,000 to Reform from sources the NCA were unable to trace, that doesn't mean there's anything dodgy going on.

Andrew Tate appears to have been arrested for trying to steal some items of clothing for little girls by walking out of the shop wearing them.

Because when you have 5 homes you have to borrow someone else's too.

Get off the fence George. You'll get splinters up your arse with such mealy-mouthed verbiage.

Don't do it Andy!

Another day, another bung revealed.

Farage’s close associate Posh George has written a book called How to Launder Money. Even the late Ronnie Biggs never had the imagination to pen a book entitled “How to Rob Trains”. The stink off Reforn’s funding is overpowering app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/74154/...

We’re never going to live on Mars. We’re never going to live on the Moon. There is no Planet B. We need to take care of our magical mystical miraculous planet like it’s the only home we will ever have. Because it is.

So now we find out Farage did have full protection including two cars and he owes £3 million in tax. Hi hope Andy Burnham calls him a frog faced grifter right to his face

Yes indeed. As noted elsewhere, and confirmed by Dan Neidle, an investment in someone's career cannot be regarded as a genuine 'gift' and would therefore be subject to tax.

It's a good list

No other politician has faced as much vitriol as me. And for no reason at all, other than me dedicating the last quarter century to stirring up hatred and division, demonising minorities and delivering the biggest act of self harm in this country's history.

The Nazi press turn on their wunderkind

Quick question Kier. Is that shirt black, or dark blue?

It is pure coincidence that I said I wasn't standing for Parliament because I'd need “a million a year” to cover lost earnings, then I was given £5 million and immediately stood for election.

Pandering to the Daily Mail again

Can we all do that chicken noise thing the next time we see Farage? You know, the one we did at school to signify cowardice.

This is how you ramp up pressure on a genocidal state Mr Burnham. Break off diplomatic links

It's actually insane that we each have our own personal indoctrination/brainwash machine in the form of various algorithmic social media feeds scientifically tailored to our unique forensic profiles built from sensitive data about us that's stored on private databases owned by actual Bond villains

While Nige gets his lackeys to bang on about how important it is to have the right security detail, please don't forget that he has had a lot of other dodgy bungs that were never alleged to be for his security.

It is mad that we have, somehow, allowed net zero - a policy common to all major parties under 5 years ago and supported by a majority of the public - to become a synoym for mad radicalism. It is doubly mad that we've allowed this to happen during the hottest summer on record.

How long do we give it before Farage quits his by-election and buggers off to America before the National Crime Agency catch up with him?

It makes me laugh (bitterly) - environmentalists are constantly trying to triangulate precisely what language to use - on rewilding, nature, climate change, security etc - in the hopes of not upsetting the Right. But they in turn do not give a sh*t what word we use, they will blame us anyway.

"Pathetic": I told the Guardian what I think about the Starmer government's plan for nature It's more of the failed politics of the past 40yrs: failing to take public control of the nature crisis & contracting it out to private landowners. Burnham must do better www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Reported today that Labour plans to withhold benefits to people who have been granted Indefinite Leave to Remain. Performative cruelty and total cowardice. That’s why the Greens will replace Labour.

Solar's sharp rise continues. As of April 2026, global solar capacity now exceeds 3 terawatt. 1 gigawatt → 1 terawatt: 20+ years 1 terawatt → 2 terawatt: 33 months 2 terawatt → 3 terawatt: 19 months

Would be hilarious if Reform lost out on the Greater Manchester mayoralty because of Farage's face-saving fight with a bin

I'm sure that there will be a really simple explanation that will make everyone happy.

If Jeremyy Corbyn had taken a dodgy £5 gift he would have faced more scrutiny than Nigel Farage has faced for £5m. Farage cries like a little baby when his outrageous behaviour gets the slightest criticism

I know it's not very probable, but having Farage get his political career ended by losing to Count Binface would restore a little bit of my faith in the world.

Binfire vs Binface.
