Heartbreaking. #TaxTheRich

Wow! Imagine if this lot actually got into power. They would bankrupt the nation.

This is cool AF, good news for mother earth and probs our pockets. Impressive that it may power the whole grid. Wonder if we'll ever get hydro power like in Norway, that would be amazing.

#LBD once again skewers the media magnates caught trying to shape the world in their own image. Hurrah for #LBD #CitizenKane

Excellent. The BBC needs to focus on being *objective* rather than unbiased. Call out lies and falsehood even if one side or the other call that bias. If one side says it's raining and the other side says it's not look out of the window - don't just report both.

The real BBC bias story, narrated by Anna Ford

Your 'bonus moment of doom' for today: "When the planet heats up beyond 1.5 degrees, the impacts don't get just slightly worse. Scientists warn that massive, self-reinforcing changes could be set off, having devastating impacts around the world." www.npr.org/2025/11/19/n...

Exclusive: Reform UK is under investigation by the Information Commissioner for breaking data protection law, @bylinetimes.bsky.social can reveal. Reform is accused of lying to the watchdog about a complaint from a voter over receiving unsolicited communications from Nigel Farage’s party.

Brexit costs the tax payer £40 billion a year. How the fuck is this not the main story around the budget?!

The Epstein files show Bannon’s European “revolution” – with Farage as Mr Brexit and his partner building the Brussels shell – was supported and shaped in important ways by Epstein’s money talk, legal advice and logistics. Full @BylineTimes investigation 👇 bylinetimes.com/2025/11/19/d... (12/12)

Farage then launched World4Brexit – a US-based group “selling Brexit to the world” with American backers and Bannon as an informal adviser. Jackson Free Press called it a “US-based dark money group” bylinetimes.com/2019/08/01/b... www.jacksonfreepress.com/news/2019/no... (11/12)

As Brexit turmoil peaked in late 2018, Bannon texted Epstein that he’d been “pulled into the Brexit thing… with Nigel, Boris and Rees-Mogg”, as “the guys are trying to move on May today/tomorrow”. Reform UK denies Farage attended any joint summit. (9/12) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Epstein’s texts show him advising on how to structure Bannon’s “international arrangements”: use opaque 501(c)(4) “social welfare” entities and NGOs, fronted by a media company claiming journalistic status and “source privilege” to avoid FARA issues. (8/12)

In September 2018, as Bannon courted Italy’s far-right interior minister Matteo Salvini in Rome, Epstein joked he hoped Bannon was “sitting on Salvini’s lap” – then texted the chilling line: “But he is unaware… Ahhh the power of dark.” (7/12)

Around the same time, newly released Epstein messages show Bannon emailing that he was with “donors to my revolution”. Epstein became a patron, fixer and informal strategist for Bannon – while Bannon pitched the MAGA machine as a shield for Epstein. bylinetimes.com/2025/11/17/j... (6/12)

Modrikamen recalls a London lunch where Farage introduced him to Bannon. “It clicked”: they shared the same convictions and Bannon agreed to adopt The Movement as his Brussels hub – linking Trump’s “movement” to Europe’s nationalist right. www.reuters.com/article/us-e... (5/12)

Ferrari had worked for Farage’s UKIP and ran the Farage-linked IDDE think tank, later accused (alongside ADDE) of diverting EU funds into UKIP campaigning. She is now openly Farage’s partner – and bought the Clacton house he had claimed was his. www.theguardian.com/politics/202... (4/12)

In January 2017, a Brussels foundation called “Le Movement/The Movement” was created to unite “populist and conservative movements in Europe”. It was founded by Mischaël Modrikamen, Yasmine Dehaene-Modrikamen and Farage aide Laure Ferrari. www.foiaresearch.net/organization...

In Alison Klayman’s doc The Brink, Bannon and Farage sit together plotting a pan-European “Movement”. Bannon calls Farage “the face of Brexit” and promises to “fund it somehow”. Off camera, Farage’s circle had already built the vehicle he would use. 2/12 youtu.be/9lzJ_8hC-yE?...

New #EpsteinFiles @bylinetimes.bsky.social investigation: how Steve Bannon’s planned “European revolution” ran through Nigel Farage’s network – with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein quietly helping in the background. 🧵 1/12

"The electoral system is at breaking point." - argued @alexsobel.co.uk, Chair of @appgfairelections.bsky.social, on @iaindale.bsky.social show. In our multi-party era, increasingly unrepresentative election results risk undermining trust in our very democracy. We need PR more than ever.

UK millionaires say 'we want to pay more tax'. Why is that UK govts only listen to the rich who resent paying tax and decent wages? The rich can't feel secure whilst masses live in poverty. Poor people can't buy goods/services to boost the economy.

Attendees at last night’s White House dinner honoring MBS were all doing business with him and Saudi Arabia. Under Trump, the only normative rule is to gain as much power and money as possible. Power and wealth are honored, even if the honoree has greenlit a brutal murder.

Ukraine will reject this proposal. Europe must reject this proposal. There can be no "peace" from a dirty deal that rewards Russia's murderous aggression. There must be a just peace that respects Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Tragically, a humpback whale was humanely euthanized in Oregon after being found stranded and entangled on the coast. "The whale’s death is a painful reminder of a preventable problem: entanglement in fishing gear," says Oceana's Ben Enticknap. https://bit.ly/3Kb8lkv

Also they're not criminals! They're human beings who are allowed to have fun while in a difficult situation

Tice, like Farage, is a lying, treasonous, meddling offshore-grifting/ living piece of fraudulent scum.

🔥💥🙄🔥💥🙄🔥💥🙄 You can tell a lot about a man by the way they speak to women. TWO little words ~ and out of their own mouths they tell us ExACtLY who and what they are! Trump: Quiet, piggy Farage: Listen, love #trump #farage #misogynists

Health Secretary Wes Streeting says he is not comfortable with the prospect of families with children being deported - but insists it is the 'right thing' to do. Appalling www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

While problem gambling tears families apart and costs lives, firms like SkyBet go abroad to dodge their taxes. It’s time to tax their UK profits. No escape, no loopholes.

Agree #TaxTheRich and the parasite tax dodging corporations like Starbucks, Amazon etc! Time these crooks were taken to town and paid up! They won't leave the UK it's idle threats and if they do fuck em! PARASITES

Alf Dubs is a 92 year old man who spent his life fighting for refugees, and in particular for refugee children. He fought the Tories tooth and nail during their last three terms, only to see Labour adopt far-right policies on immigration. “But to use children as a weapon ... I’m lost for words.”

Donald Trump is gunning for the BBC, and Farage is cheering him on. Want to know why? Follow the money…

Whenever there’s something that’s negative and undermining the UK Farage is there Whenever there’s something positive for the UK that will benefit the people, not just the super rich Farage is nowhere to be seen That sums Farage up, he’s a cancer sapping the UK’s health❗️🤷🏼‍♂️

Historic landfills can contain items we use less today or wouldn't dispose of in landfill. Think lead paint or batteries, asbestos, arsenic. Until relatively recently, there was no requirement to line landfill. Many are in flood or coastal erosion zones. 2/3 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

As renewables eat into the energy market + EVs reduce demand for petrol, fossil fuel firms aim to step up production of plastics + chemicals made from oil + gas. By mid-century, half of growth in demand for oil is predicted to come from making more plastic + chemicals. A must read 👇🏾

Honest to god. It’s insanely problematic nobody checks Trump on his misogyny. This creep is the example for how millions of young boys think they should treat girls, and for how millions of young girls think they should be treated. Burn the patriarchy to the ground. #momsky

Montage of 19 clips of Trump insulting, berating, demeaning and attacking female reporters over the past few months. Part 1.

Under its current chair, Ofcom has repeatedly refused to apply its rules to GB News, enabling the channel to pump out increasingly toxic & dangerous messages. Ofcom is accountable to Parliament. It's time for MPs to investigate what’s gone wrong, and how things have been allowed to get this bad.

"Leaving the ECHR would do nothing to halt small boat crossings, but it would deny British people hard-won rights." @MaxWilkinson.bsky.social

Did Labour MPs ever imagine that they would be ending the first period of their first government in more than 14 years with their own Home Secretary feeling the need to publicly deny that she plans to defect to Reform?

What a shocking waste of opportunity this government has proved to be. It has squandered its time and attention on ridiculous fiscal rules, persecuting refugees and trashing ecosystems in the name of growth, while failing to deliver what we so desperately want. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Definitions of monopoly only ever look at one business, not at the overall business model. And now social media has a monopoly over communications, information and news that is not considered a monopoly. It's the death of democracy www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
