Everyone is talking about Trump’s mock up arch at the Great American State Fair, so I filmed it from top to bottom and front to back for everyone who can’t see it in person.

It is time for Nigel Farage to put his money where his mouth is. Release your tax returns, Nigel. Anyone claiming they aspire to be British Prime Minister should adhere to the highest standards of transparency.

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has a massive problem with women, and @carolvorders.bsky.social helped expose exactly how deep it runs. No wonder they’re furious - she made them look small, cowardly and contemptuous.

In Spain today: installation of solar panels above major irrigation channels. Channels of more than 100 kms transport water from dams to farmland. - Reduces evaporation -Provides large agricultural areas with power & supports irrigation -Decreases use of water in food production, doubling the crop.

More vultures dead as Africa's poisoning crisis worsens Vulture Conservation Foundation reports that two separate incidents in Botswana and Senegal have added to a growing toll of vulture deaths across Africa in 2026. www.rarebirdalert.co.uk/v2/Content/M...

The one thing we all need, to get energy bills down, permanently - is something we can't do ourselves. We need government to ‘break the link’ - the link which allows the global price of gas to set the price of our own wind and sun.

Trump threatens 100% import tariff on European countries levying digital tax on US companies. So, UK can't impose digital tax on Apple, Google, Meta, eBay, Amazon even though they make profits in the UK. The felon thinks he is Master of the Universe. Govts should develop homegrown alternatives.

Very proud of @trunkmanuk.bsky.social ‘s incredible work with @cosmicshambles.com and creating this amazing documentary series www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

In 1976 we didn't let a bit of hot weather bring life to a standstill. I was at school and can distinctly remember carrying on racially abusing other pupils as usual.

Me relaunching my media appearances this week:

He can fuck straight off.

Farage pocketing £5m from a crypto billionaire makes the MPs expenses scandal look like chicken feed

Albanian Protests

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

Imagine supermarket, hospital and station car parks that: ☀️ Keep cars cooler in summer. ☔ Keep people drier in winter. ⚡ Generate renewable electricity. Britain considered making it happen. It quietly decided not to.

“Even by his own standards, Farage seemed unusually irritable and fractious this week at the impertinent assumption that standing for high office goes hand in hand with transparency. Maybe he’s beginning to acknowledge that this democracy lark is not his thing” app.independent.co.uk/2026/06/27/3...

The end of an era - After almost a century we said goodbye this morning to our great companion of the airwaves Radio 4 198 LW. I shall miss her warmth and crackle. Here’s the final sign off at the end of #theshippingforecast before she fell silent… ❤️

Episode 2 at 9pm night. Here's some of the stuff we explore with Charlotte Church, Donald Harrison Jr, @drdeanburnett.bsky.social, Grace Petrie, @sparksmaths.bsky.social, Sanju Sahai and more! www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZHC...

A thousand times this. The BBC would also benefit from not giving a shit what the Daily Mail has to say about anything.

GB News gives its take on climate change. This is what a propaganda campaign looks like. Who'd have guessed that the GB News co-owner runs a hedge fund with massive investments in oil and gas? www.theguardian.com/media/2026/m...

And there it is… www.desmog.com/2026/04/30/r...

this is exciting and goes some way to countering @rory-stewart.bsky.social worries about always needing fossil fuel/nuclear backups to renewables. Also important to strengthen network so that renewable electricity from one region can be shunted to another region easily

I’ve been given £5m by a cryptocurrency millionaire so my wife Bunty & I will be taking a break. We’re off to buy Ferraris, hire security & tell anyone who asks to bugger off as it’s none of their bloody business.🤬 Off to the South Pole to escape the socialist heat. Back Monday!

Let's be very clear, this 👇, is total nonsense. This is flat-out misinformation. The case involved a terminally ill child with unbearable suffering, under strict legal oversight. Multiple doctors, parental consent, and last-resort criteria apply. This is not “murder.” 1/4

Fauci needs to sue this man into bankruptcy, if only to dissuade the other inveterate liars of this administration.

I think that there is a very fundamental reason why AI (any of its manifestations) can't and shouldn't be left to "do" critical thinking. The foundation for critical thinking is a set of values, and values are a human responsibility & a very human thing. They cannot be out-sourced. [1/n]

FACT CHECK This is a Member of the Welsh Senedd and Reform's Welsh shadow minster for "Fairness, Families and Communities". This is not "normal British summer". Yesterday the UK experienced its hottest June day on record.

This is why cities need trees. Hard surfaces and parked cars can reach extreme temperatures, while shaded grass and tree-covered areas stay dramatically cooler. This is the urban heat island effect in one image: hard surfaces absorb and radiate heat, while vegetation and shade reduce it.

I work in education and media so I know what it’s like to be in a poorly ventilated room with 30 kids of different needs trying to teach them stuff and I know what it’s like to sit in an air conditioned studio pontificating. I say ppl who do the latter should STFU about ppl who do the former.

The story of social media’s problem with news, in two posts (these are from X)

Who I blame for all this ghastly hot weather: Keir Starmer Andy Burnham Lazy teachers BBC Meghan Markle Ange Postecoglou Mounjaro Jude Bellingham Matcha Chat GPT Hydration breaks Spiteful class warriors Call The Midwife Women who vape Langoustines That Norwegian rowing chant. 😡

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

About time too. The way in which the mainstream media are trivialising the current situation is a complete scandal.

The UK Statistics Authority has written to Kemi Badenoch today, following our fact check of her inaccurate claim that the total welfare bill is now higher than income tax receipts “for the first time ever”. We hope she will correct the record soon.

Still, all the billionaires who don’t give a stuff about climate change, have air con. So that’s nice for them

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

I don't have anything profound to say about the 10-year anniversary of the Brexit vote. Brexit was always going to be shit, was shit, and now continues to be shit. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

My only non negotiable is that I start my day feeding the 80 street dogs in Thailand. I've so many bigger things to do for the charity and scaling up but this is the part I'll never give up. It's one hour of the day but it keeps my heart full and depression at bay!

A reminder of this day in 2016, from The Decade In Tory

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

On the 10th anniversary of Brexit, I'm celebrating with everyone who thinks it was a great idea that worked really well.

This is Lady and Piper. Lady really loves playing fetch. Maybe even enough for the two of them. 13/10 for both (TT: rachaelsteinle)

Back together again - the 'Bad Boys of Brexit' Or the 'rich entitled lying grifting pricks' as they are better known.

“Britain is only going to move on when it starts realising it’s one little cog in a whole load of cogs that make up the EU, that make up global geopolitics, and the UK on its own, not being a cog anywhere, is really unwise” “Independence Day” How bloody stupid. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It's not easy being green

Yesterday I repeatedly said I was the most attacked MP in the UK. Which is true if you don't count the two who were killed, or those attacked with a sword or who had their offices set on fire and if you only count 'attacks' with milkshakes or eggs.
