Reform UK have quietly reinstated the councillor that threatened the Prime Minister (and WAY more), without explanation. northumberland.moderngov.co.uk/mgUserInfo.a... hopenothate.org.uk/2025/09/19/s...

Tommy Robinson’s Unite the Kingdom Rally was sponsored by a convicted fraudster allegedly behind cryptocurrency ‘rug pulls’ The far-right rally was bankrolled by convicted fraudster alleged to be behind two cryptocurrency scams, Byline Times can reveal bylinetimes.com/2025/10/01/t...

Reform’s Russia connections are a danger to our national security. It’s time for a public inquiry. 🔥

A quiet day off so am playing nicely

‘So the rumours are true … time to ask some serious questions about Reform and Russia’ My column on Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales, admitting taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia while a member of the European Parliament www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

Really looking forward to this on Friday www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/nicola-che...

I tried sending a complaint to @thetimes.com using [email protected] - maybe if more of us try this we could have an impact? @snellarthur.bsky.social

There's a really nice new study using phone data from Americans who relocated from one city to another to look at the effect of walkable environments on physical activity. E.g., people move TO New York and walk more, they move FROM New York and walk less www.nature.com/articles/s41...

None shall pass in @nicolawriting.bsky.social's @theguardian.com country diary today. #countrydiary #naturewriting

Such a poignant and important article by @patrickbarkham.bsky.social on Lyme disease. Please do read and share...

This is utterly horrific. Literally blocking the ability of people to object to nature being trashed and destroyed. What a lovely govt we have!! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Richard Tice with his Reform chum Nathan Gill, who has just admitted taking bribes for spreading Kremlin misinformation. What could be more patriotic than that?

I am genuinely baffled and distressed as to why the UK government is intent on destroying UK's genuinely world-leading universities, who bring £265 billion into the economy and support more than 250,000 jobs. This tax will kill us. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

The last time Trump sent Feds to Portland; I was an emergency dispatcher for the city/county. It radicalized me; what I was seeing/hearing/dispatching didn’t match the narrative. Proud Boys/Patriot Prayer were the REAL issue. Abolish ICE. Oh, and there’s this: gizmodo.com/donald-trump...

My MP @leedillonmp.bsky.social has not, so I’ve dropped him a brief note on the matter

How is this not front page news? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A water industry insider told us, “Father Thames is going to get hit...you’re taking clean water out...putting dirtier water back in...If...not...why wouldn’t they...take water from wastewater treatment works, put it through treatment, + use that for drinking water?” share.google/wVJq1mcX5Blf...

The Teddington Direct River Abstraction is designed to suck out water from the Thames during times of drought + transport it to the Lee Valley Reservoir to use as drinking water, replacing it with treated sewage effluent. Here, @eddavey.libdems.org.uk shares his views on the plan:

In the early 1960s a senior Conservative minister, John Profumo, resigned and inflicted perhaps decisive damage to the electoral prospects of his party for a decade ….. for far less than this

This medical advice was brought to you from a man who wanted to shine bright lights into people’s bodies and inject them with bleach to treat COVID. May I suggest just a small touch of caution before following it? Ta.

NEW! Thames Water’s £500m desalination plant has delivered just 7 days’ water in 15 years (plus chemical leaks). Now it wants to spend another £500m to suck water from Thames, replace it with treated sewage, all while losing 570m litres a day to leaks www.theguardian.com/business/202...

A simply unfathomably sad long read and one that really hints at the profound damage that perhaps drives some toxic behaviour with global consequences. Free gift link here, but won't last forever. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/w...

Thank you Sue Mitchell for your bravery in dispelling the misinformation on life in these 'hotels', much of it allowed to be transmitted unchallenged by your employers, the BBC www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In some ways, an oddly upbeat vibe, for a musical rundown of the backsliding #freespeech situation developing in the US ... but this is our 🎵 parody "Freedom of Speech" to the tune of #Disney's "Under the Sea" - with some familiar faces cut in. 😎 youtu.be/DyoYRN8cc-g #Kimmel #Colbert

Just what the climate emergency needs - more flying. FFS, it's not a malevolent AI that's going to kill humanity it's our own stupidity. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

They want to leave the ECHR because it will allow them to abolish the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, paid holiday and sick leave. It would make them tens of billions a year. But of course they say immigration, because they can't tell you the real reason.

Remember DOGE, Reform’s Department of Government Efficiency Launched with fanfare, gone within months. Meanwhile, their mayor Andrea Jenkyns wants £147k to reply to emails. Efficiency, Reform-style.

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon being deported twice in 24 hours - first from Colombia, then from Panama - because he’s deemed a national security threat, just a week after he led a march calling for migrants to be deported, is the kind of schadenfreude we can all savour.

Psychologically healthy people rarely show racism. They don’t need to boost their identity by demeaning others. Dr Steve Taylor writes. From #TheConversation -- thanks!

Just booked for one of our local independent bookshop's events. Thoroughly enjoyed @nicolawriting.bsky.social first book 'On Gallows Down', this looks at least as good. Great to read nature writing with a direct local connection too. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/nicola-che...

Education is the enemy of fascism.

I have felt sick to my stomach all day about this horrific news, and it has yet to be covered by MSM, or even acknowledged by the WH. 🔊 JUSTICE FOR TREY REED. ⏰ NOW. ‼️‼️‼️

Two men, 21-year-old Trey Reid and Corey Zukatis, have been found hanging from trees in separate incidents. This is Donald Trump's work y'all. WATCH: #Resist

Shocking stats that show that adults are 17% more likely and children are *77%* more likely to suffer fatal injury if hit by an SUV, compared to a normal car.

❤️ My dad, Bob Behrman, passed away 12 years ago today at age 85. He was the best dad and loved politics, Ella Fitzgerald, Walt Whitman, Jobim, vodka, eggrolls, and photography -- and my mom. He would have despised #Trump and resisted with us. In his memory, please retweet: #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

A reminder that Elon Musk's platform is still directly paying UK politicians, including Rupert Lowe, Richard Tice, and Lee Anderson

Just looked again on X. While Keir is posting about business, Shabana as home secretary called out violence against police yesterday but nothing about the racism or Musk. Silence from other bigwigs like Lammy, Cooper, Reeves..
