Police: A Widdecombe death not terrorism & no info. to indicate political motive. N Farage: “We don’t know what the political motives are”. “I’m not going to speculate”. “A terrible reflection on modern Britain”. “For anybody in the political space things have become even more dangerous today”.

Here's what the landlord lobby don't want you to know: If rents went down by 20%, renters would save £2400 a year. The government would save £2 billion a year. And landlords would still make 4.5 times as much profit as the average business.

In which a dying of cancer Ann Widdecombe planned her own murder by a “leftist thug” to draw attention away from Farage fucking his own career and bring support back to Reform… I’m not sorry she’s dead, I am sorry she was murdered. She was a Kent MP when I was a queer Kent teenager.

There is a fundraiser ran by some parents of the children affected by the WellBN investigation that you can donate to here. Please do so if you can www.gofundme.com/f/emergency-...

As the updated CoP is set to come into force, I think there's two lines of messaging it will be helpful to push. 1) Trans people never asked for this. None of the disruption and expense is their fault. It's because gender critics have pushed and pushed for blanket exclusion of trans people. (PTO)

Count Binface was on Andrew Marr's show today, and performed a lot better on that than the majority of politicians youtu.be/WRBh7uGwxmU?...

So, er, let’s make sure British companies with a few thousand employees don’t go bust, but universities, which employ a huge proportion of folk in communities countrywide? Fuck them! Many unis are on the verge as it is; it’s not even just these courses at risk (bad enough) but institutions.

16 days to go, and we have a third of the volunteers we need - can you help? The @transunityquilt.bsky.social is finished, made by trans people and loved ones from all other the UK - and we're carrying it 25th July at London Trans+ Pride as a 96 meter symbol of our strength. Sign up below!

Plenty of nonbinary me too folk also, unfortunately. But then we have problems getting people taking our very existence seriously, let alone anything that may or may not happen to our bodies. (And please don’t ask “but what sex are you really?” meaning assigned at birth; it’s insulting.)

This point needs to be made over and again: The main purpose of wealth taxes should not be to raise revenue. That's a small and secondary benefit. The main purpose should be to *reduce the fortunes of the ultrarich*. Why? Because those fortunes present a massive threat to democracy and public life.

Would the UK equivalent be Burnhamism?

What the actual living fuck?

I kind of feel like we are way past trans sports in the UK & pretending anyone cares about “fairness”. But it’s not just that trans women haven’t *so far* regularly outperformed cis women, it’s that the science says that they don’t have an advantage in much & have a disadvantage in some things.

This is fabulous!

Everyone, everywhere around the world: If you do business with the UK, you're supporting the dehumanisation and societal segregation of trans people. You're supporting an apartheid regime. Stop it now and tell them why. Please.

Disability Pride for me isn’t about What Disabled People Achieve & how we are Amazing because we can sometimes be Just As Good As Ableds At Capitalism. It’s about the fact that we exist & deserve to be seen as whole people just as we are, worthy of respect, & allowed to have & bring joy in life.

It’s genuinely inexcusable that the Democrats, if not the MSM (which are funded by people who profit from keeping Trump in power, which you’d like to hope the Dems are not!) aren’t saying this *all the time* because it is embarrassingly obvious to the world.

Just discovered Duck Duck Go web search engine has launched an alternative No AI version which you can add as an extension to your browser. Great - I'd fallen out of love with them after many years, tiresome to turn it all off only to reappear every restart or if you sneeze in the wrong direction.

I gather Trump is at war with the Islamic Republic of Japan now as well, and has had a nice chat with President Putin of Ukraine. Good to know all is well with the self declared “leader of the free world” or whatever.

Dear news media, You heard Trump refer today to “the Islamic Republic of Japan." You heard him repeatedly refer to Zelenskyy as "President Putin.” His brain is broken. Warn the public about it. It’s your duty.

Reform is looking less and less like a political party and more and more like a laundromat for dirty money.

The new UK Health Secretary reassuring Telegraph journalists that he's transphobic enough for them. Why did he change his mind? Because throwing trans people under the bus is cheap politics for the Labour Party.

I love it when the richest and most influential news companies and their star employees pretend they are not responsible for what they put in their pages or on their programs. It's like someone else did it--'gosh how did Nigel Farage or Tommy Robinson keep appearing in our headline stories???'

Farage wanting a by-election now, is like asking a jury for a decision before the trial has begun.

Gods, this is disgusting. Put this up your “conversion ban” arse and set it on fire, Labour.

Social homogeneity and society are not the same thing.

I hadn’t actually deleted my insta account, though thankfully it’s private (and only consists of shitty cat photos), as it used to be a secondary method of contacting son if he wasn’t answering my usual messages. But fucking hell.

Oh dear. Egypt complaints of bias were predictable as soon as that match ended after the penalty wasn’t given when the foul leading to Zico’s disallowed goal was. It wasn’t, they’re just unlucky. But after Trump’s interference lead to real bias earlier, it was always going to be read that way.

Every single lawmaker that’s calling for their constituents to “be responsible with electricity usage” during the extreme heat had better be supporting heavy restrictions on data centers.

Thing is, the USA had a chance for a moral victory. They could have said, “given the circumstances, we have agreed it wouldn’t feel right to play Balogun so with his agreement we are voluntarily leaving him out.” Probably still have lost, but looked like the decent guys and not part of the problem.

Yes, there is literally no way that would have been reversed without the interference. None. Nada. And all of football knows it.

None of the main parties should run, but an independent candidate should, offering Clacton-specific interests. They could point out that Farage has voted in literally NO parliamentary whatsits, hasn’t held surgeries, and promise actually to work for Clacton.

Should we panic yet? Is it time to hope that their gods love all the billionaires so much they take them immediately up to their heavens and leave us this world without them? Don’t you love how we can ignore things like this and go on deliberately making it worse with fossil fuels?

Fuck. Right. Off. Greenland isn’t yours to take; it belongs to the people of Greenland, first and foremost, with Danish oversight currently, which they’d far prefer to American even when it wasn’t you. And Europe’s decisions on energy and immigration will hopefully be better than the US’s.

When you hear your spouse say to your son: “I’m on the roof, so if you hear a crash…or come out in twenty minutes and see if I’m all right…” REALLY not encouraging, dear.

With a name like that, he’s the right person to say it. After all (as I’m sure he hasn’t heard a million times) he must know a law.

It would be really convenient if sleep weren’t a necessity.

I mean, on the plus side, I enjoyed Belgium’s win much more than I would otherwise have done. They’re an ageing team who have looked frankly pretty ordinary and uninspiring up until now, and I was finding it hard to care about this match until suddenly I Cared Deeply. Also #FIFA is still corrupt.

So, do we have to replay the game now the USA lost it? I expect this referee was dodgy too, yes? #WorldCup #USABel

Entire world of football is Belgian tonight.

people need to go to jail over this, its the only thing the democratic party should be saying right now. all of them, in unison, no matter the question or topic, needs to be saying “insider trading is against the law”

Trump deciding he knows more about football than anyone else now hits me on a very personal level and, like, I’d got used to him fucking up the Real World but now he’s fucking up my escapism from him too and I’m not ok with that.

FIFA broke its rules to favour the US team. The @nytimes.com reports this happened after Trump called Infantino and pressed him on the issue. We will be submitting an updated complaint to FIFA's ethics committee on this matter. You can add your name to that complaint here 👇 rebootfifa.com/sign/

Switzerland bolted 5,000 solar panels onto a dam wall 8,000 feet up in the freezing Alps where everyone said solar made no sense, and the plant now makes three times more winter power than any farm down in the valleys share.google/nw0ojKKXnID1...

NEW BLOG FOR YOU Google's energy consumption numbers in their new climate report are mind-blowing. 2 years ago they flipped from linear to exponential growth, and their climate impact is blowing out, too. A WILD testament to the obscene bloat and waste of GenAI: ketanjoshi.co/2026/07/01/g...

Another excellent video. You can't always tell.

I got ME in my teens, first falling ill with (misdiagnosed) glandular fever a fortnight before I turned 15. Luckily I had comparatively mild ME then and my mum encouraged me to go out even when I hadn’t been well enough to be at school. (I had ~20% attendance yrs 10/11, maybe 50% yrs 12/13.)
