Good to see Sadiq Khan joining Wes Streeting and David Lammy in finally catching up with the Lib Dems on the need for a UK–EU customs union. We have led the way, won the vote in Parliament and will now fight to make sure Downing Street wakes up to the damage done by Brexit too.

Is there anything Farage can't be paid to say? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-i...

Thatcher’s right to buy was just social housing privatisation sold to us in the same way as all the other public service privatisations, with the promise of our chance of share ownership or owning pur own home, in truth just like water industry it’s another cash cow for the wealthiest to monopolise.

🎡London’s economy is; 📉 £30 billion smaller than if the UK had stayed in the EU 💼 Employment in the capital is down 230,000 jobs 👪 The average family is about £3,500 worse off, he argued.

Been busy, meeting the NFU, WWF & RSPCA to talk about making sure UK trade deals ensure imports match our high agri-food, environmental and animal welfare standards.

Reform is leading in the polls. Its leader hosts a TV show on a a channel that's losing millions. So what exactly is GB News for, if not to make a profit? And why isn't Ofcom doing something about it? @eastangliabylines.co.uk

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

“The evidence is overwhelming: Brexit has been a disaster for London and the UK. Rejoining the EU is now clearly in our national interest. The option to rejoin should be on the ballot at the next General Election” Sir Sadiq Khan

I said "And this sustained project of privatisation and deregulation turned Britain from a place which made things people need to a place which made money for people who owned things." And the City said:

Why do electricity prices rise with gas – even when much of our power is cheaper? Prof Richard Murphy explains why it’s not a bug, but how the system is designed. @eastangliabylines.co.uk

One in six private renters is now renting a former council home, often at extortionate rates – and often partly paid for by the government in the form of housing benefit. It's not just deeply unfair - it economically doesn't make any sense. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

Jennifer Siebel Newsom: Well, there has historically been a war on women in our country. While we’ve made tremendous progress in terms of gender equity, we are increasingly seeing—especially with the current federal administration—a rollback of women’s rights.

Finnish President Alexander Stubb says Brexit was a “colossal mistake” “It’s like amputating your leg without medical reason for doing it”

We're governed by insider trading clowns. "During a roughly 10-minute span when Wright’s post appeared, an exchange-traded fund linked to oil futures saw $84 million of its market capitalization evaporate."

How it started… How it’s going…

Day 2236 of #Brexit: ‘Nigel Farage has sold videos in which he endorsed a neo-Nazi event, repeated extremist slogans and supported a man convicted over his involvement in a far-right riot. […].’ www.theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-i...

this is superb by Martin. He punched back for Europe (and Starmer) earlier in the meet and stood firm...here he actually corrects Trump, to his face, about immigration. bualadh bos Mr Martin. Well played.

"Two people have died following an outbreak of meningitis, including one student at the University of Kent... a further 11 people from the Canterbury area are currently in hospital and reported to be seriously ill."

In the last few years of the Tory government spending on ground based missile defence was cut by two thirds and anti-drone systems by one fifth. Badenoch’s is now criticising the Labour government, which has increased defence spending again, for being unprepared. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Palantir, the NHS’s preferred partner, would now appear to be attempting to cancel the Pope.

He wrote this last week! Now begging and demanding they come and help.

Imagine if it was Rayner.

"We need to go further and faster on renewables. We need to get off of this fossil fuel prices roller coaster." Fantastic news and well said by Ed Miliband on #bbclaurak

I mean, ‘Believe in Brexit’ worked out so well that this actually makes perfect sense.

We have awarded these people contracts in the Ministry of Defence. What the fuck are we doing.

The Trump administration is gearing up to kick an estimated six million more people off of food assistance programs — including nearly two million children. The move would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war. Priorities.

Hundreds of thousands of NHS staff in England attacked and harassed, survey shows

“Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men.” The Tories gave Palantir NHS & MOD contracts. Labour must end not extend them. newrepublic.com/post/207693/...

This was the White House's war plan: Day #1 : Bomb Day #2: Iran becomes a white Christian nationalist country Day #3: Free gas Day 4: Kid Rock concert/UFC fight broadcast from Tehran So far, things are a bit off track

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) government is extremely anti-democratic.

The comments by Palantir's CEO - who is a board member of Palantir Technologies UK Ltd - are incompatible with UK values.

A procurement crisis absolutely everyone saw coming but which the Department of Health and MoD will now have to tackle, with zero good outcomes – as they've both now signed contracts and have technical reliance on Palantir.

PFAS pollution in a drinking water source near the old Denham Film Studio, so high the source had to be taken out of use. That's a water source that was providing 20 million litres a day to London, a city where water is already becoming scarce. From my report on BBC Inside Science, today👇🏾

There are other reasons for the UK government not to award or continue Palantir contracts but this statement of intent by its CEO must surely be decisive?

A company being awarded UK Government contracts👇🏻

The UK did Brexit and now it cannot stop the boats:

I hate this man so much, Just everything about him is such bumbling movie villain energy, but he's real and holds actual power. Fucking baffling the world is like this.

Faced with the deranged threats and wild madness of Trump’s presidency, our Brexit ‘sovereignty’ couldn’t be more costly… and yet worthless. Farage and Badenoch would rather bend the knee to the US monster than admit that our future is with Europe. The deceit is pathological. Sociopathic. Ruinous.

Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels. The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources. It’s time for accountability.

The Iran war should be a lesson for Keir Starmer's Government. If you take a clear line on an issue where the public agree with you then it's your opponents who end up having to back down, not you

Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof. That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy. The dealer needs to keep you addicted.

This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

🫨 Reform UK proving incompetent at running things? I never!
