It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says: "The European Union is the prototype for the New World Order." That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories. How the fuck did this man direct the course of our politics?

It's decided. Europe is closing the tap on Russian fossil fuels once and for all. Energy independence starts now. → link.europa.eu/tykVJf

"The new “mansion tax” announced by Rachel Reeves in last week’s budget is estimated to affect around 165,000 property owners, and on current trends the British media is forecast to have interviewed every single one of them by the end of the year." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We urgently need to know how many of these accounts have been spreading/amplifying hate, division and instability in Britain. We already know that a foreign actor - Elon Musk - promoted violent overthrow of the government. Has his platform been enabling foreign adversaries to do the same?

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage. www.thetimes.com/article/1b15...

Given that Grok, X’s AI tool, is now posting holocaust-denial commentary on X, I’d say we should well beyond the casual-review-but-do-nothing stage of investigation and moving swiftly on to legal challenges and all govt accounts/responsible media leaving X immediately.

“UK is costliest country to…” - build nuclear power - build fast rail - build a house - buy a house - rent a house - travel by train - buy a beer - power your home - pay for childcare - insure a car - stay in a hotel - go to the dentist - buy bog roll At least some museums are free….

If you've ever needed a reason to rally behind the BBC then this is it.

I wonder when he will start suing news outlets for describing his barefaced lies about the 2020 election as barefaced lies…

I've always felt that Johnson and Farage put self-interest over the national interest - hence their dallying with Putin and his oligarchs. But directly colluding with a foreign government to take down the BBC feels like an act of supreme treachery

Just absolutely classic BBC. You've just broadcast the most successful programme of the year, uniting Gen Z kids online and Boomers on broadcast in a return to appointment television. And instead of celebrating, your DG reigns due to a made-up right-wing scandal.

When Boris Johnson was Prime Minister one of his senior advisers confided to me that one of the only things in politics his boss actually cared about was “killing off the BBC”. Five years on, and it is a campaign that appears to be finally coming to fruition. bylinetimes.com/2025/11/10/t...

Very interesting piece, including the extract below which has the ring of truth

The corruption never ends

92%: the percentage of funding for Nigel Farage's far-right political party Reform UK that comes from fossil fuel interests. Across the world, anyone blaming immigrants, etc, it's all just a smokescreen to allow the rich to keep on getting richer by killing our planet. share.google/W2gwfc0XVpUy...

“Nigel Farage tries to claim he’s got the answers to the problems this country faces - but he created one of the biggest economic issues by championing Brexit, and now he wants to take more risks with people’s financial security," says Best for Britain's Tom Brufatto. 1/2 ~AA

Just not sure, really not sure, that I'd follow Kemi Badenoch as an example of the USA as a country that is protecting human rights without being in the ECHR.

Kemi Badenoch doesn't seem to understand that the ECHR was set up to protect everyone from people like her.

Oh, what a shame. Our Nigel's fans believe he's an honest man-of-the-people type. And all because he carelessly omitted to mention little things like being a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion, or raking in a million quid whilst an MP. Silly, forgetful old sausage... observer.co.uk/news/politic...

Deporting 750,000 people, even setting aside the hideous cruelty, would be economically idiotic.

Many pundits today are pushing the line that everyone who protests the genocide in Gaza is basically either antisemitic or tolerant of antisemitism. But isn't that precisely the conflation of the actions of the Israeli gov't with all Jewish people, which is at the heart of this wave of antisemitism?

Ben Houchen with possibly the worst take on freedom of speech I have ever heard. Apparently, it's like breaking in or stealing - you can do it but within limits. 😱

Feel the powey

So easy to spot many pro Palestinian terrorists, no balaclavas, no St George’s flags wrapped around them, not attacking the Police, not throwing petrol bombs.. It’s the grey hair. Walking sticks, white sticks, mobility scooters that give them away.. the thugs

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Meta will listen into AI conversations to personalize ads

Lawrence: One of the examples you've put out is in Speaker Mike Johnson's Louisiana district, a 60 year old couple earning 82,000 a year. Their health care premiums will rise by almost $20,000 by 300% because of what their congressman is doing.

Meta is building a $10B data center in rural Louisiana that will use more daily power than New Orleans in peak summer, to be powered by 3 new gas plants. It's unclear how much Meta will pay toward gas plants, raising concerns that residents could bear the cost through higher utility bills.

A huge achievement but still a long way to go: As @mumsforlungs.bsky.social highlight, although London has now lowered nitrogen dioxide pollution levels to UK legal limits, these limits are still 4 times higher than WHO recommendations to protect people's health. 1/6

The Guardian’s investigation into these vastly popular forums casts new light on the scale of far-right disinformation, which appears to be disseminated at industrial scale in social media groups.

German media seems to be taking more seriously than ours the fact a leading light in the party UK press keeps saying will be next government took bribes from Russia to spout their lies. Maybe it’s because they put NEWS ahead of propaganda

Former FBI Deputy Director McCabe says he hasn't been contacted "at all" by the FBI about Comey and adds, "if my interactions with Comey was gonna be the basis of this entire prosecution, it's unbelievable that prosecutors wouldn't at least want to sit down and hear what I have to say about it."

Spot-on.

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting: Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial 100%

Kushal Sureka and wife Preety, moved to UK January 2020 to work as chartered accountants. In past 5 years they paid £100,000 in tax (Farage & Tice used tax havens to avoid paying UK tax) contributing to society & have indefinite leave to stay They’re more valuable than 2 tax dodging millionaires🤷🏼‍♂️
