Great point which sums up the English non-dom and Tory controlled right wing media’s attitude perfectly.

Time for serious questions on Reform and Russia

Looking at it from both sides (as a fmr migrant in the UK & free Australian Migration Officer), it is soul-destroying. My UK family wants to return home. First, Brexit put up a barrier. Now Labour are building a wall. As a Germans-British family we're exhausted. And my British family is distraught.

Patel is basically admitting on camera that the FBI no longer adheres to the Attorney General Guidelines, which prohibits investigating U.S. persons based solely on First Amendment activity (including membership in a group).

Paris-Berlin sleeper: low carbon, 2 years old, constantly full, but currently losing SNCF a few million EUR/yr Intl Jet fuel tax exemptions are 80 years old and cost the EU 22 million EUR/yr for the Paris-Berlin route alone. And you're cutting... the sleeper? www.theguardian.com/travel/2025/...

"Finally, a clear-cut, no-nonsense proposal from a major political party that leaves none of the wiggle room that oil and gas companies and politicians have been using to their advantage for so long."

Imagine needing a digital pass just to live your daily life. That’s what the proposed “BritCard” means - more control for the state, less freedom for us. Britain has always rejected ID cards - it’s time to reject them again.

How the hell does she get away with this!!

NEW: Home Sec Shabana Mahmood hits out at far right. “In their view of this country I have no place. They are heirs to the skin heads and p*ki bashers of old”. “Patriotism - a force for good - is turning into something smaller which struggles to believe I can be truly English”.

Dear America, Thoughts and prayers are not working. Love Immy.

I'll always remember what Ian McEwan said on the #WhatIBelieve podcast about the power of books to open the universe a little wider & make us more alive to kaleidoscopically tiny things. It's true! Reading helps children (& adults!) foster imagination, understanding, & empathy. This is great news.

“They are ignorant of their ignorance” - Michael Faraday

So much has gone wrong in US press reporting on Trump because the White House reporters are people who have exclusively covered US politics. They need people who have worked in Hungary, Turkey, etc. The relevant knowledge isn't Reagan factoids; it's the dynamics of competitive authoritarianism.

The equivalent of what in political science are called Americanists. They can only imagine normal life, and don’t know what to do when things go off the rails.

I'm old enough to remember how last week, Wright celebrated that natural gas was the answer to our prayers, and how it has cut CO₂ since 2005. Turns out gas is ~⅓ of that decrease, efficiency and renewables are the other ~⅓ each gwagner.com/renewables-f... Either way, coal isn't it.

This is just regurgitating Starmer’s donkey field from decades ago. But what I hate is that Farage's Stamp Duty avoidance within the last year and also using a private company to reduce his tax bill on his GB News appearances and other outside employment is being ignored

Zia Yusuf knows less about his own party than I do. Gill is not some rando who once met Nigel. Gill was Reform Leader in Wales and a close ally of Nigel Farage for over a decade before that across two other political parties. This is not something that can just be brushed away.

China has not bought a single soybean from the U.S. in over 3 months, thanks to Trump's disastrous tariffs. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/09/28/soybeans-sacrificed-in-trumps-china-gamble-00583232?utm_content=politico/magazine/Politics&utm_source=flipboard

The suspect, Thomas Sanford, seemed to own Donald Trump memorabilia, with a campaign sign outside his house and a Facebook photo wearing a shirt that reads “Re-elect Trump 2020,” and “Make liberals cry again.” However, local authorities and the FBI have not yet identified a motive. trib.al/0UwICcz

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system! Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

Disinformation is one of the biggest issues obstructing climate action - says UN Spokesperson at #SenateInquiry #auspol

"It’s troubling to hear the political commentariat describing Donald Trump’s and Nigel Farage’s actions as ‘unprecedented’. ...as Anne Applebaum observes, authoritarians are now [rallying] to attack a perceived common enemy: democracy itself."

Some really welcome news from Moldova. The lesson, once again: When broadly moderate, liberal voters grasp the magnitude of the danger and unite, they win - and win big. ~AA www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I think that will change as Bluesky grows

Have very belatedly left twitter for good. Naively thought I was still fighting the occasional worthwhile fight but nope. It's a cesspit and nobody should be on it. People saying that months ago were absolutely right. Last "quote tweet" from Harry says it all

Unless they're satisfied with a very surface-level summary of a topic on a government site, people without journal access don't really have much available to them to read about the state of research in a field.

This isn't about 'doing your own research', you can't even read primers from experts unless your library access is extensive, e.g. • www.nature.com/articles/s41... • academic.oup.com/jid/article-...

As a society, our financial system around information is insane. It is the kind of system you would create if you wanted everyone to go insane.

Yeah you never mention Reform eh Nick. 🙄 #r4today

Good morning 🌞 Moldova did so very good 😊 the ruzzies are fuming 😂 the pro Europeans got 55 seats, very nice 👍 a sigh of relief and proof you can fight the propaganda weapon and beat the ruzzies back.

Stop the scapegoating and start dealing with America’s real gun crisis. HOMEGROWN‼️

Trump claimed last week at the UN: “They [China] build them, but they have very few wind farms. So why is it that they build them and they send them all over the world, but they barely use them?” The answer is: they actually do. China has more wind power than any other country in the world.

'The trend in graduate hiring is particularly bleak, with advertised vacancies down 8% to 14,162 in August, 8% below the previous month and more than a third lower than this time last year.'

Here’s a list to follow! Already 50% of world’s people live in cities, soon it will be 70% So their design, environmental performance, energy use, social equity & resilience matter - to us all. & risks of climate change, societal dislocation & conflict will be most felt in our cities. It matters!

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. He hasn't done squat to help working people. The Epstein scandal haunts him. Remember that every authoritarian action Trump is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.

We are watching a coordinated right-wing takeover of popular media and it won’t stop here. archive.today/bXzZd

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty. If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐 There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..
