Farage claims his phone was hacked by Russia and that this highlights the “threat they pose to British security”. Which is odd because 7yrs ago he had the chance to strengthen laws against Russian interference but he voted against it, saying the claims were “baseless” The man is never, ever right.

Oh, hello! My @litpinsandco.bsky.social special edition of @emilytesh.net's The Incandescent has arrived. Ordered it last year when it was announced so I'd totally forgotten about it, but it's lovely, the artwork is fabulous. Still a great read too.

Water privatisation has been outright theft. Whoever is next PM must commit to ending this scandal and take our water back into public ownership. No more failed regulation. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Millions of us are straightforward and honest with our financial affairs. The very least we should demand is that our members of parliament do the same. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A Reform voter tells me: "[Farage] cares about working people. He will make this country great again.” Such devotion, such faith in one so unworthy. It does my head in.” You and so many of us @yasminalibhaibrown.bsky.social Disgusted by the man and the abject failure to hold him to account iPaper

People now debating whether we should rejoin the EU… Surely the real question is: Why on earth wouldn’t we?!

CARE WORK IS HIGHLY SKILLED WORK and only paid so poorly because of the failure of successive governments to value it properly. MP’s must step up and oppose the governments plans

Nigel Farage is posting “We now have 200,000 reasons Reform should be in government” 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 youtu.be/A6fCl-uOEVY?...

One of the biggest mistakes by the government was to tolerate and pander to this group. Far right extremist thugs posing as patriots, who should have been clamped down on from day one www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Every time a new Reform UK councillor resigns or is sacked, remember it’s £35k of taxpayers money that could have been avoided if Reform UK vetted properly. That’s on Dr David Bull and Jaymey McIvor. £35k every time.

I covered that march. Here's the first paragraph of the story I wrote about it: www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-t...

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

In 2015, the UK scored 86% on LGBTQ rights protections. This year, we’re down to 43.9%, and as a big old homosexual living here, I would be lying if I said that doesn’t increasingly worry me.

The next Labour leader must move decisively away from the status quo to beat Reform. That means giving power and wealth to working class people. It means a democratic revolution, rent controls and public ownership of water. It means someone who isn't Wes Streeting.

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks... HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless. Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it So where's the wall-to-wall coverage? Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

Best part about seeing the #GreenWindaes around Edinburgh & Lothians East? The posters that locals have paired with them — for taxing the rich, solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸 , with women’s autonomy over their bodies, trans solidarity 🏳️‍⚧️ On the 7th of May, we show up and fight back.

Yes. Stop Farage. Stop Reform. Stop the corruption. Stop the racism. Stop the misogyny. Stop the hatred. Stop the cruelty. Stop the incompetence. Stop the division. Stop the threats. Stop the fascism. Stop the failure. Just, ffs, stop him.

Denmark didn’t “transition” its grid—it replaced it. ~15% → 92% renewable electricity in 25 years. Wind did the heavy lifting. Solar is scaling. Interconnection balanced. Flexibility solved variability. Wind built it. Solar is scaling. Fossil lost it. This IS system replacement. ⚡#Bettrification

I’m Team Pope Leo. And you don’t have to be a practicing Catholic to think — what the hell is wrong with the Pentagon’s mouthpiece? This is repugnant.

Too many people feel trapped in a system where life revolves around work. Our economy has been built on a broken idea that people exist to work, instead of work existing to support people’s lives.

This isn't well-known, but it should be.

We're so excited to reveal one of the five overlays included with our edition of An Arcane Inheritance! 🖤✨ The beautiful overlays are by the wonderful Bex Glendining and we're obsessed! We'll be keeping the other four a secret until closer to shipping, but trust us - they're stunning! 🥰

“Ministers justified reducing support for people too disabled or ill to work by arguing it would remove the “perverse incentives” that discourage employment… as if a twentysomething bedbound with ME just needs “incentivising” to get back to the building site” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Dear people of Scotland, in the run-up to the Scottish general election, take *everything* you read in the papers or BBC with a very large pinch of salt. Unbiased they are not, and should have to include a 'that was a party political announcement on behalf of . . ' banner with every story.

Doesn't pay any tax in the UK because he ran away to the Tax Haven Singapore to escape the effects of the Brexit he helped create. Then he bought up hundred of millions of pounds of farmland to avoid tax, then cried when it was made taxable. James Dyson is a scumbag.

You can now get all 6 sword designs in a super reduced set, that is exclusive to backerkit! 🎉💜 I was asked and totally forgot to add that after adding all the pins separately 😂 haha oops. I'm working on making sticker adds on too, hopefully up later today!

Very Important Notice: Please be aware of the issue described below, and make sure everyone you know who will be voting in the May election in Scotland know about it:

💚 Remember on 7th May - if you’re voting green then it’s Scottish Greens 💚

Reform are choosing to divide communities rather than bring people together. This rhetoric that blames migrants distracts from the real causes of inequality. Scotland deserves better than that!

China billionaire owner of Northumbrian Water wants to bid for Thames Water. NW has 50+ criminal convictions, dumps sewage in rivers, fleeces customers. 90% of England's water is foreign owned. More of the same can't solve problems. Must end privatisation. Must nationalise.

just this week: -- OpenAI killed Sora -- Disney subsequently cancelled its investment in OpenAI -- Wikipedia is now banning LLM-generated content ...tell me again how this is all "inevitable" and you have to "get on board or get left behind"?

Why no political empathy for young people in England? Govt can abolish university tuition fees. It can abolish prescription charges. Provide free bus pass to young adults under the age of 22. The above happens in Scotland. Must happen in England too.

The Prime Minister’s plan to offer rapid routes to settlement for those earning six-figure salaries whilst punishing and making lower-paid workers wait up to 15 years appears to be based on the notion that care workers are “low-skilled” because they are low-paid - its a disgrace

Privatisation scandal. Royal Mail staff told to hide post to look like delivery targets met. No extra employees, overtime slashed, and pressure to deliver parcels, results in neglect of letters. RM hasn't met any letter delivery targets, prices hiked. Privatisation of essentials failed.

So it turns out Reform are laundering their donations through crypto, before converting them into cash, hiding the original source of the money. So who is really funding Nigel Farage and Reform UK? observer.co.uk/news/nationa...
