'Send them to jail' says Feargal Sharkey as water companies make charity payments to compensate for their offence climatewithbrian.com/2026/05/07/n...

Trump's reaction to Saudi Arabia's refusal to allow the US to use SA's military bases could not be more different to his reaction to similar refusals by European countries. His reaction to the latter was threatening, bullying & belittling. His reaction to the former was craven. tinyurl.com/5uwdpn7z

Dear God. I am sick & disgusted with the normalisation & mainstreaming of Nigel Farage’s Reform Party’s increasingly overt fascism across a lot of media which then feeds into AI results, in turn making them look acceptable & normal. It’s vile, wrong & deeply damaging to the UK & also traitorous.

President Zelenskyy: This summer will be a moment when Putin decides what to do next - expand the war or move to diplomacy. We must push him toward diplomacy. Russia has announced a May 9 parade in Moscow without military equipment.

I still get the impression that many (most?) Labour supporters don’t understand how badly Labour’s anti-immigration policies come across, or how many of us are personally angry about them.

Nearly three in five say they would back re-joining the European Union in a new Brexit referendum 🇪🇺 👍 www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

The reason I’m in favour of immigration and against the current policies isn’t because demographics mean that we need it for our economy - though that helps. No, the reason I’m in favour of it is basic human decency. These are human beings, not statistics.

My thought on the moment is that he’s just a useful idiot being kept around, his information carefully curated, his health and cognitive decline managed by teams of professionals, in order to make obscene amounts of money for the world’s worst people, the human consequences be damned.

This can't, or shouldn't, be even remotely good enough, and surely wouldn't be accepted as such for any other party leader. Amongst many, many other things, it can't have been both 'unconditional' *and* 'to pay for my security'. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Brexit costs the UK between £180 billion and £240 billion per year, according to a huge study from Stamford / Kings. This is a bargain.

Why do we have to tolerate such unadulterated bollox from this hideous man? And why does the media give it all a veneer of potential respectability? Farage is pathologically corrupt and obscenely greedy. He’s a national security threat, a liar and a racist. Just say so. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The single most defining thing Elon Musk has ever done is killing untold numbers of people by having DOGE illegally raid and disband USAID. Not rickets, not cars, not even the CSAMbot on X. It’s this, and so many media pundits just choose to unsee it.

A very useful thread about how the Schengen arrangements came into being and why they matter. Debunks a lot of misinformation that has been circulating recently. Well worth reading.

"Harborne’s cumulative donations to Farage and his various parties over the years (including the Brexit party) now total more than £27 million. That’s a staggering sum." (Harborne's £27m Question: Who Does Farage Answer To?) www.uglypolitix.com/p/harbornes-...

A Dutch commentator observed that “The British are the only European country that looks back on the war with pride and pleasure: ‘our finest hour’. All other countries were either occupier or occupied, and were determined it should never happen again.” Maybe Britain doesn’t share this yet.

⚠️⚠️ Urgent health warning re: local & devolved government elections ⚠️⚠️ Chris Mason is highly likely to be pontificating on Reform's brilliant chances/performance. We strongly advise anyone of a sensitive disposition to switch off all BBC news coverage for the next 48 hours

Now a SECOND such incident in the space of 24 hours. A bus passenger arrested in Hackney after alleged Hitler & gas chamber comments to Jews. The suspect reportedly also claimed to have a knife and threatened Jewish passengers on the 254 bus, including children. www.jewishnews.co.uk/bus-passenge...

Please rephrase that ....🤮

It takes some doing to make the mid-70s look like an era of good taste abd restraint.

Thanks @nixonsimon.bsky.social for pointing out that Cameron's much mocked warning of war in Europe as a consequence of Brexit was uncannily prescient, and how the Times shameful front page mocked for speaking the truth open.substack.com/pub/nixons/p...

A poem and drawing for the evening. The poem is from today, and the drawing from several years ago. They feel to me like they go together.

Please people listen good don’t vote reform please they only care for the very very rich not us plus we need to save our NHS go out tonight and vote labour please or tactical to stop them with voter ID

What will a vote for Reform mean, let's look at their current actions in Reform run councils. These include bus services in Durham, drug and alcohol reduction services in Lincolnshire, and £2.8million carved from school building projects in Nottinghamshire. And more. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

I don’t think there are many Reform voters on Bluesky but… we’re not just talking to Bluesky… this is a public space and messages go out into other communities and people who agree with them will use them. We’re part of a team and much wider networks than just here.

"There's no money in politics", says the multi millionaire conman who tells divisive, vicious lies for cash. He should be in prison, like Nathan Gill, former Welsh Reform leader who was Farage's loyal friend. Arrested for taking Russian bribes en route to a crypto conference. Don't be fooled again

He illegally manipulated sterling on referendum day & made a fortune for himself & others then. No investigation into it. Likewise Crispin Odey made £200m on the same day betting against Britain. Don't forget voter id today everyone! www.electoralcommission.org.uk/voting-and-e...

Reform UK = no more than a cult following a self-serving, self-centred, right-wing, racist grifter. He is not your friend, they are not your friends. Don't vote Reform UK.

Clowns

Farage deserves much deeper scrutiny by UK media than has so far been the case. He's a really thin skinned and poisonous individual.

When Farage has totally wrecked this country I won't be speaking to anyone who admits voting for him. It really is time we stopped tolerating bigots.

Why is this not gaining more traction with the media? Stupid question but still valid? What will it take? An actual video of Farage accepting a brown envelope from someone with a Russian accent?

Someone this greedy and corrupt will never act in the best interests of the country. He showed you with Brexit. He showed you with Reform councils. He showed you with his own constituency. He’ll lie to your face and sell you out. Do not let him win because then we all lose. Do not vote Reform.

Hitler said he would make Germany great again. He left it invaded, in ruins, and with millions dead. Mussolini promised to restore the glory of the Roman empire. Never trust politicians who promise to make your country great again.

Reform plans threaten maternity leave and job security for half a million pregnant women, analysis shows

Your vote is precious. Today millions of people across Wales, Scotland and England are voting in the hope that their choice will improve their lives. I hope it will. Politicians are asking for your vote; it grants power and removes it. Use it and remind them never to take you for granted.

The 200,000 illegal migrants figure Farage is using is over several years and let’s remind ourselves how we got into this mess in the first place - BREXIT

Thanks to our Labour government, businesses are cutting processing times to speed up goods exports. The pioneering scheme, which moves to digital, paperless systems, significantly cut processing times for key trade documents - helping UK experters with lower costs & faster access to global markets.

"Epstein does not come across as a man wracked by guilt for his crimes, nor one fearfully trying to avoid the consequences of naming accomplices. Instead, he simply comes across as an arrogant, powerful man taking what modicum of control he can over his own situation."

UK elections today. "Good luck. We're all counting on you." (Yeah, wrong picture I know, but I couldn't spell Leslie Nielsen.)
