The NHS will have to divert £45bn from essential services to pay for new medicines under the terms of the UK-US trade deal agreed last December, leading to more than 200,000 avoidable deaths of patients - Brexit Britain under the thumb of Trump! www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

This is just shocking

Horrific footage from the aftermath of Russia's massive overnight attack on Kyiv. Russia killed at least 13 people. Eighty-six others, including children,were injured. Rescuers are still searching for people trapped under the rubble. The attack lasted more than 11 hours.

UK government accused of ALLOWING this business model. Enabling it, in fact.

In the current febrile atmosphere BBC, particularly #r4today, has thrown out basic journalistic responsibility. No context provided, Instead Daily Mailesque clickbait designed to make a small issue seem far more widespread. This puts people seeking asylum at risk. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

AI does the "everybody says this is true therefore it must be true" thing. It is easily manipulated.

Does anyone else suspect the tax avoiding, cryptocurrency assets of Reform UK come from money laundering by billionaires of the profits of drug & sex trafficking gangs ... after all, isn't that the whole purpose of crypto?

My national identity does not rely on our currency. It’s far stronger than that and besides our currency already changed once in my lifetime. I am therefore perfectly fine with adopting the Euro and it is arguably a sensible move.

Extreme heat is already putting 1 million London homes at risk of overheating and costing lives. That’s why we’ve launched London’s first heat plan - helping protect communities with cooler spaces, more trees, safer transport, resilient homes and stronger emergency response.

Halifax to disappear from UK high street as Lloyds axes bank brand after 173 years. Will lead to loss of more bank branches, as execs chase bigger profits and bonuses. Why trust Lloyds? It promised to investigate HBOS frauds, publish a report by 2018. None published. Victims await compensation.

This transition will affect roughly 2.5 million civil servants as part of a 2026 strategy to achieve "digital sovereignty." France already has a successful precedent; the national police force has operated 100,000 computers on Linux since 2008, proving that such a massive shift is feasible.

Curse of private equity Up to 150 ex-WHSmith stores to close as rescue deal approved. Substantial debts owed to creditors written off. Will have knock-on effects. Post offices housed within shops will go. Many towns/districts, missing bank branches, will have no post office or bank branch

Where is the next crash coming from? youtu.be/thweVMpmwB8?... The media thinks government debt will crash the UK economy. It won't. The US stock market will.

Two people in a Volkswagen Beetle died after the massive battery-powered truck struck them at a highway intersection in Nevada, not far from the factory that builds it.

They are going to ram AI and driverless vehicles down our throats even if it kills us.

13 people killed by Russia in #Kyiv in last night's massive attack. Over 30 people injured. The search and rescue operations continue at the sites where Russia hit.

🚀 Brilliant that Polly Billington MP has joined the almost 1/3 of Labour backbench MPs calling for a National Commission on Electoral Reform @pollybillington.bsky.social #ProportionalRepresentation #Labour4PR 🌹

BBC doesn't want to explain the law because then they'd be accused of being left wing. They need to continue to mislead on this so the entire right wing news media (of which the BBC & #r4today, in particular, are now a part) need to be able to pretend changing this law is easy, & without issues.

I think it would surprise the Matt Goodwin of 2022, not just of the Goodwin of 2014, that he now opposes (would ban ?) refugee participation in public life. He used to see ethnic minority leadership as a good sign of integration & showing Britain had progressed more on race than progressives thought

In the long run, Starmer's surrender deal to the USA may end up as his worst ever mistake. For the sake of being to boast that he got a trade deal, he has potentially condemned hundreds of thousands of people to an earlier death at an aggregate cost of tens of billions of pounds.

Following in the footsteps of France and Switzerland's Government who banned Palantir from Government contracts, Spain has now banned Palantir from signing ANY contracts in Spain. Lets get Palantir OUT.

Serving as an MP is a privilege and should be viewed as such by those who do the job – not as a part-time role or a get-rich-quick scheme. We need a ban on second jobs for MPs now.

US-UK drug deal could result in 229,000 excess deaths in England, analysis suggests

A British-Indian friend told me how Reform activists threatened to take away her family's passports if they get into power. The rising tide of racism should worry us all. And the politicians who are stoking it must be condemned.

Edward the Confessor, Henry I, Henry IV, Edward IV, Henry VII and Charles II all at one time had to flee from their country and seek safety in another.

BBC Newsnight invite a GB News presenter to comment *Switches off mumbling: if I wanted GB News I'd tune into GB News*

I'm so proud of Yassin. He made Bristol and Britain his home. He has contributed so much as a Green Party Cllr to his city and to the community in Lawrence Hill. Solidarity in the face of this Reform fuelled racist hate. Hope always wins!

📊 Vote Vote Vote Should the U.K. rejoin the EU? Of course we should. thedailybritain.co.uk/poll-should-...

For clarity: it's the EU car industry that wants the exemptions, and not just for us! "The European Automobile Manufacturers Association (Acea) has urged Brussels to give the UK, Turkey and Morocco 'justified, targeted exemptions' to the rules."

A Times investigation reveals Farage and his partner own *at least* five homes across Surrey, Kent and Essex, all but one bought with cash since 2000. In 2017 he said he was “skint”.

Funny how it's always the ones you most expect.

And there’s more… More lies, more dodgy deals and denials.. Farage has bought 4 houses for cash since 2020 - the year we left the EU. And declared only 2 of them. Come on people. The man’s a hot mess of corruption, racism, national security threat and greed. Let’s bin him off.

🔥 Europe is starting to push Palantir out. Things are looking rough for Palantir in Europe… …as they are increasingly seen as a danger to sovereignty with a high risk of structural lock-in and major ethical concerns. Please share.

Putin will be pleased that his Brexit deprives the Treasury of £65bn+ every year, enough to fund all of the apparent defence shortfall and still leaving tens of billions for other things. Less clear why the likes of the Mail were so keen on pushing the Brexit disaster.

Physical books. You own them. They don't require updates. They don't surveil you or collect and sell your data. They are a genuinely safe hallucinogen that leaves you smarter and more empathetic and with a longer attention span the more you use them. Free from the library. What's not to like?

ith allegations and suspicion rife that Farage and Johnson received a £1 million pound bung in an agreement for Reform to step down candidates in the 2019 GE, it’s good to know that If this was the case, then electoral law was broken and would be illegal and punishable.

Nigel Farage: half a million promoting gold, £5 million 'reward' for Brexit, £100k for Cameo videos. While people are struggling, Farage is grifting.

The Dutch infrastructure authority completed a systematic assessment in 2023 identifying 420 kilometres of barriers oriented within 45 degrees of south-facing, suitable for bifacial #solarpanel installation without structural modification or planning procedures beyond normal road authority approval

Standing for Reform UK tomorrow in Aberdeenshire, Andy Curwen another Reform UK misogynist. “Women can argue for 3 straight hours, but 2 minutes into a BJ and her jaw hurts.” “Not sure if I need sex, sleep, or to punch someone in the face.”

An overwhelming 90% demand for unity proves that citizens view the EU as a vital shield, not an overbearing burden. In a dangerous and unstable world, national isolationism is a dead end—collective protection requires a stronger, fully integrated Europe. 🛑🇪🇺👇

Labour can threaten a £10k charge on migrants and still it’s never enough for the hard right. Perhaps there’s a lesson here? 🤔

Farage didn't turn up for the debate about second jobs. I wonder why...

Ben Cullen, a leading figure of the "Raise the Colours" campaign, will stand trial for three separate charges regarding a total of 78 indecent images of children. I have only seen this covered in local newspapers, so far. Grim as it is, it needs wider coverage www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2624087...

British voters see Brexit as a disaster. They are strikingly open to reintegration with the EU.

The gullible were conned by the rich national fronters using the racist card. Its bizarre they are still falling for the tax dodgers, fraudsters and traitors. #brexitdisaster #brexitlie

Something deeply troubling & shocking is happening at Exeter University*, where a mass cull of staff is planned, even though it's in surplus. No good justifications given. @jamesgdyke.info provides the details: www.technosphere.earth/the-bonfire-... *Disclosure: I have a Visiting Fellowship here. +🧵
