every corporate decision comes down to money and clearly the economics for abc/disney outweighed the threats from the fascist government

And he’s back ... After ”thoughtful conversations” with Jimmy Kimmel, Disney decided his show will return on Tuesday.

!!! *DISNEY SAYS JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE SHOW TO RETURN ON TUESDAY

There should be a high bar for politicians attacking the media, but maybe Ed Davey has half a point here? For example, the first three paragraphs of this BBC story repeat Reform's £243bn figure without saying that the thinktank behind the estimate now disowns it. (This is mentioned in paragraph 35)

breaking from me: the trump administration just suffered its first major loss in court over its onslaught on offshore wind the revolution wind project can now resume construction after a federal judge found its developer orsted was likely to win against the trump order to stop work @heatmap.news

Farage’s new think tank, the misnamed ‘Centre for a Better Britain’, is very clearly planning a ‘Project 2025’ for the UK - ripping up the Climate Change Act, Equalities Act, even the ministerial code A recipe for chaotic authoritarianism www.ft.com/content/2260...

Farage’s policies are a moral abomination and I will fight them with every fibre of my being. We must build a popular front against the rise of fascism in Britain that spans parties and communities. bsky.app/profile/shoa...

Reform party will eventually come after citizens, with parents who were born abroad, like myself. My friends and I have had this discussion for some time. Make no joke about it, if they get into power they will need to continue to enrage the British voting public, they need chaos to thrive.

💯. Progressives have to stop franchising out their consciences to the courts. Politics is about moral choices. The problem with Reform's proposal isn't that "the courts won't allow it". It's that it's grotesque and inhuman. If we're democrats, we must believe that this argument can be won.

Retrospectively removing indefinite leave to remain would be immoral and economically damaging. It would tear families apart. Attacking it as ‘potentially illegal’ is completely beside the point. Argue with the (awful) idea. Don’t try ’well, actually you can’t do that’.

To remove indefinite leave to remain from people who already have it they'd have to dismantle our entire system of rights legislation and probably end judicial independence. But they could do that with a majority. They've said they'd do that.

Reform's plans to end indefinite leave to remain go to the post I wrote last week on their slide towards chaotic authoritarianism. The British constitution would allow them to do it if they had a majority but at vast cost to our society and way of life. samf.substack.com/p/the-route-...

The NHS is crumbling, schools are underfunded, energy bills keep rising – & billionaires keep getting richer It’s time to put an end to this catastrophic inequality It’s time to tax the super-rich & use the money to fund the services we all depend on. It's time to #MakeThemPay

A Crowdfunder to save Beer Mill farm - 112 acres of rare, species rich land in Devon. There's matched funding, so your donation would be doubled. Please chip in if you can. @guyshrubsole.bsky.social @chrisgpackham.bsky.social @rewildingbritain.org.uk

We can still achieve big things in hard times The creation of the Global Ocean Treaty has weathered election cycles—and will now become international law We can use it to put vast areas of the ocean off-limits to destruction, to start healing our life support system www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

CLP nominations aren't always representative of the member vote: but Powell has been crushing almost every one Ive seen so far by massive margins. Its... not close so far

🚨When Reform UK took control of 10 councils in May, including Kent, Richard Tice said he’s “very confident we will do an outstanding job” in local government. But our undercover reporter at the party conference overheard how things are really going.⬇️

Good morning. Together with @littletollerbooks.bsky.social we publish a very important book The destruction of our peat lands is of international concern. 40 nature writers incl. Rob Macfarlane - Amy Liptrot - Horatio Clare & music legend Patti Smith. You can order here: www.littletoller.co.uk

Heard @steverichards.bsky.social outline his "Hartlepool thesis" on his brilliant RocknRoll podcast earlier in the week. Just as persuasive when written down.

Reform's contempt for the rule of law is very obvious

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Don't sleep on the good news, folks. It's rare these days. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-ind...

The split in Your Party has broken into the open. Jeremy Corbyn urges supporters not to donate to the link promoted by Zarah Sultana. Sultana responds calling it a "sexist boys club."

The brilliant @georgemonbiot.bsky.social at Stop Trump tears into this government. ‘By bringing the fascist in chief here, they dishonour us, and they dishonour themselves. By rolling out the red carpet for Trump, they roll out the red carpet for Farage.’

Tangible things you can do.

Turns out DOGE was another hollow Reform UK gimmick. Reform UK’s DOGE has visited just three councils. And this investigation has found little impact: www.lgcplus.com/finance/reve...

I've done 3 and 5 today, and already do most of the others. I'm excited about 10 and hope to see more about how to get involved. *If you haven't complained to the BBC before, you can skip all the bits about specific programmes, time, etc.

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore. So I wrote a blog about ten things you can do *right now* to help defeat Farage, Musk, and rightwing populism. From scrutinising Reform councillors to demanding the UK Govt leave X - get involved: guyshrubsole.substack.com/p/ten-things...

THIS IS A BIG DEMO #TRUMP

Just emailed my MP asking him to join his colleagues in demanding that the government leaves X following Elon Musk's recent comments. It literally takes two minutes to do, and I encourage everyone to do the same: www.writetothem.com.

Kemi Badenoch refusing to acknowledge that Tommy Robinson is "far-right", now on LBC, and refusing to condemn Elon Musk's words. In fact she says what Musk said *isn't* incitement. So what would be incitement then? How violent would his words have to be before he was deemed a threat to this country?
