Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia. Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Most people seem to have missed who retweeted this picture of Farage in Gill’s office a few days after Gill began receiving his first bribes from Oleh Voloshyn (Oleg Voloshin). None other than…

Unbelievable - Thames Water wants to pollute ILLEGALLY for the next 15 years If they get away with this, other water companies will copy If you don't want sewage until 2040 (!) please sign our petition to @ofwat.bsky.social We'll be handing it in on 21st October weownit.org.uk/act-now/peti...

🚨Urgent: Thames Water want permission from Ofwat to ILLEGALLY pollute rivers and seas until 2040. 🤮They want your bills to fill their pockets with gold, while they fill your rivers with sewage. ✍️Sign now. Tell Ofwat to say NO to Thames Water before Tuesday 21st October.

Proportional Representation is the radical idea that a party that gets 30% of the vote should never have 100% of the power. In most stable democracies, this is already obvious. Why not here?

Our national parks are under threat. The Treasury wants to weaken the laws that protect areas like Dartmoor and the Lake District by opening them up to bulldozers and roads! Right now, Ministers are debating the plans, but no decision has been made yet. That means we still have time to stop it.

When you have groups like @mills4humanity.bsky.social and @patmillsuk.bsky.social, people who have wealth and are calling for governments to tax them more, it destroys the arguments that a #WealthTax wouldn’t work We need to reduce inequality, and we can start it right now #MakeThemPay

Just a quick reminder: the public still overwhelmingly supports a publicly funded NHS. It’s time our politicians remembered that. 💙

#BBCQT Always bring the receipts.

In the interest of fairness the #BBC has invited on one member of the left wing #Greens party, three members of right leaning or far right wing parties in #Labour, #Conservatives, and #Reform. And finally a journalist who described the greens as a “threat to society”

We’re already spending a ton of money on water companies, only to the profits to be kept in private hands. It’s about time the government just do what needs to be done #Nationalise #WeOwnIt

Completely infuriating Competition & Markets Authority said requests from 5 private water companies to increase bills AGAIN were "largely unjustified" But your bills will still rise This is all unjustified There is no market, PUBLIC OWNERSHIP NOW news.sky.com/story/custom...

WE are being forced to pay more for the privilege of being ripped off by water companies. They've not invested. Instead they've taken out £80 billion in dividends and loaded up those companies with £70 billion in debt. Now they are being allowed to hike our water bills.

Time to repost this with the news that #Reform Deputy Chair Paul Nuttall was an MEP with Gill. Nuttall was also very pro Russia, such as when he criticised the EU for not recognising Russia‘s annexation of Crimea and praised Putin Reform are all in #Russia pockets, and we can’t keep ignoring it

71% of your week. That’s how much of your life revolves around work when you’re on a 5-day week. That percentage is far too high and it’s been that way for far too long. It’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰

The education of our young people is the only way to solve to solve the challenges we face Instead, #Badenoch suggests we limit education, all to hide the fact that years of #Conservative rule left graduates in a mountain of debt and no job to show for it

"Decency demands that Ofwat and the Government don’t allow themselves to be pushed around by a bunch of opportunistic hedge funds" Ofwat must say NO to more sewage and setting a dangerous precedent Excellent article on Thames Water in the Telegraph www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

Imagine your party conference being so bad it makes your own team defect. Well done #Conservatives On a more serious note, it’s about time defections of any sort trigger an election. Despite what it says on the paper people vote for parties not people, and defections go against what they voted for

Amazing progress in the fight against fossil fuels and #ClimateCrisis, thanks in very large part to #China and #India Just shows what can happen when people come together to tackle a problem, even with those that try to slow it down. Long may it continue

#Badenoch backed the racist views of #Jenrick saying this was a “statement of fact” Then she moves onto discussing the lack of people integrating and how that’s a problem These two statements together sound a lot like ”you can’t integrate unless you’re white” It’s a racist race to the bottom

It’s honestly fascinating to listen to #Badenoch speaking and interviewing, most of the #Conservative party really. The second hand embarrassment is something truly unique. Shame they don’t have any self awareness to feel it themselves

Looks like #Reform led councils are going the way of #Brexit “We’re going to save the public so much money. Oops actually we need to make you pay more” Hopefully they continue to show their incompetence, then crash and burn before the next election

We need to end this farce! We are being charged more for no improvement. Water companies still aren’t fixing leaks, still aren’t improving infrastructure, and are still dumping sewage. All we’re doing is paying for their increasing bonuses It’s time to #Nationalise and #TakeBackWater #WeOwnIt

Why do we tax earnings from employment more than income from rental properties? @adamcorlett.bsky.social explains why we should start making tax more consistent 👇

Any time someone tries to tell you that #Farage didn’t know who Nathan Gill is, show them this video. Farage and #Reform are liars, and they will say anything to save their own skin

The media is staying silent on this just as much as #Farage and his #Reform cronies. We should be demanding they take notice and do their jobs. This one incident should be enough to prompt a full investigation of them all, let alone every previous time they’ve clearly been in #Russia pockets

Kemi Badenoch wants a UK ICE. Given that US ICE is destroying America, this is not a smart idea.

It’s like #Badenoch has seen what #Farage has suggested and in an attempt to save the #Conservative party, she’s just thought “I‘ll do what they do but BIGGER!!” She’s clueless, and the only positive thing is that she’s going to drive the Conservatives into the dirt

Oh look, that thing that everyone said would happen Thanks to the #OSA we have opened the floodgates for identities to be stolen. Third party companies cannot be trusted to store our personal data, but this is what #Labour is forcing just to browse the web The #OnlineSafetyAct is a total failure

This is how you know people’s voices have an impact when we come together. This isn’t about violence, this isn’t about protection, this is about silencing those who have a different opinion and try to voice that in a peaceful way. It’s all about control and shutting down opposition

Another day of Reform UK silence on Nathan Gill. Nigel Farage Richard Tice Dr David Bull Paul Nuttall All served as MEPs alongside him, all members of UKIP and Reform UK. Did they know? The silence is deafening. #ReformRussianBribes

Britain’s electoral system can now give a majority to a party backed by only a third of voters. In the Netherlands, their proportional system limits power to a true majority. Time we learned a lesson? @eastangliabylines.co.uk @stephenmcnair.bsky.social

So #Badenoch first wants to remove our human rights, and now she wants to fund an ICE style goon squad. Not just #Farage she wants to copy now but #Trump too. And if the American example is to go by it won’t just be “illegal migrants” they try to deport, it’ll be anyone they don’t like the look of

Alarm over #Pfas pollution from datacenters amid #AI boom Tech companies’ use of Pfas gas at facilities may mean datacenters’ climate impact is worse than previously thought www.theguardian.com/environment/...

And yet, #Farage and #Reform would have you believe he didn’t know Gill at all. But then as always, if Farage says one thing, it’s best to believe the opposite

A Nigel Farage government would be “disastrous” for children and young people, the chief of the UK’s largest education has said.

Once again, if someone says they’re going to reduce your rights to go after someone else, they will eventually come for you too. #Badenoch and the #Conservatives are desperately chasing #Reform, mostly because she doesn’t have an original idea in her head. This is a race to the bottom

Under UK law, a company can make £200m+ in sales and still hide its profit & loss by calling itself “small”. That’s how PPE Medpro kept its finances secret. A short thread on one of Britain’s daftest loopholes, the 1970s EU compromise that created it — and how to fix it.

So #Farage has been found again to be lying about his #Russian associations, and thinks his silence will make it all go away. Is there anything you’d like to add? @dailymail.co.uk @theguardian.com @news.sky.com @politics.mirror.co.uk @mirror.co.uk @thetimes.com @the-independent.com

#Farage showing he’s more and more of a mini #Trump every day. He and his cronies in #Reform are not for the people, they’re only for themselves. Even if that means bullying, intimidating, and conning others. We don’t want these people running a lemonade stand, let alone the country

So #Trump is now one step closer to getting his #Nobel prize. By the sounds of it #Hamas has agreed to the deal with #Israel barring some elements for negotiation. Got to imagine Trump will be trying to push this through quick, just in case there’s time for the Nobel announcement next week

Surely these two things are not related right? There’s no way our health secretary could have been bribed by…sorry donated to from private healthcare elites to make sure they don’t lose money, right? He’s fully committed to the #NHS and making sure it stays out of private hands, right??

This is US based but its the same in the UK Teachers help the younger generations learn and be ready for the world. But with burnout high and wages stagnating, why do we treat them so poorly? The #Education system needs help and at the forefront of that needs to be #Teachers #SupportTeachers

We need something similar in the UK. People’s rights should not be taken away just because one group of people don’t agree with it, and abortion is one of those rights currently under attack This is a pressing issue that simply cannot wait, especially with the wave of Americanism coming our way

"For the next 15 years, give us a subsidy from public money, and remove the disincentive for us to stop dumping raw sewage, so our creditors are rescued from the consequences of their own greed" is not, I have to say, the world's most appealing pitch. www.theguardian.com/business/202...
