LNG is touted as a climate-friendly fuel, but a new LNG terminal under construction in Louisiana is expected to emit more than 9.5 million tons of greenhouse gases annually. That's more than every existing and proposed LNG project in the US and more than any oil refinery in Louisiana.

Lying from the White House Podium is now a family tradition.

Louisiana prosecutor Hugo Holland has had a career mired in controversy: concealing evidence, allegations of racism, false paperwork. That hasn’t stopped him from becoming the frontrunner of his judicial race. By @richardawebster.bsky.social veritenews.org/2026/03/24/h...

Nigel Farage changed his mind about the conflict in the Middle East. You can't trust him with Britain's national security.

Not once in this story does @politico.com mention that US factories employ ~89,000 fewer employees than a year ago. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

The Washington Post is beyond repair. We need to build independent pro-democracy media that doesn't equate Donald Trump's pathological lies with Joe Biden. You can start with subscribing to Democracy Docket. I built it to have only one side -- the truth. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

But this is only half the story. The workers are often on zero or low guaranteed hours. This costs the government in-work benefits, reduces spending power in the local community and just leads to a miserable time for the employees.

Starbucks UK sales and number of shops increase but appears to pay no corporation tax. The trick is profit shifting through intragroup transactions to low/no tax jurisdictions - royalty payments, management fees, interest on intragroup loans. Company accounts comply with UK law but are opaque.

However incompetent you think the Home Office are, there is always another level that they can reach.

People are finally looking at Xavier Becerra for the CA governor's race. He's a great candidate! In a state with 40% Latinos, it would be awesome to have a Hispanic governor. He has loads of legislative & leadership experience & he's bilingual. Now he needs the money. www.xavierbecerra2026.com

Hungary’s Viktor Orbán is set to lose tomorrow’s election, according to polls. Still, the EU is preparing for a world in which he wins. We spoke to 10 diplomats about five ways the bloc could cope with the Hungarian leader if he stays in power 👇 🔗 politico.eu/article/5-wa...

Handy tactical voting advice to stop Reform U.K. blighting your local councils. #StopReformUK #TacticalVoting stopreformuk.vote

Tactical voting could help ensure #Reform do not succeed in May - whilst I do not support any particular party, I would ask people to consider tactical voting. We do not want the Temu Trump Party running anything in the UK. Say NO to Nazis

Some 340 people became billionaires in 2025, often simply because their dads died. And nine million people died from hunger.

2 Credit to @implausibleblog.bsky.social for a post on X highlighting this including the 2019 rally pic👌🏼🙏🏼 At the time of competition, I raised the issue but was told it was legal So we are to believe that it’s pure coincidence, pro Brexit campaigners pictured with him won it❓ What Utter Bollox❗️

A rigged draw harvesting personal data.. by guess who❓👇🏼 Farage ran a competition to pay energy bills for a yr, ppl gave Reform their personal details to “win” Him with June the “winner” pretends he doesn’t know her Him with June & husband at Brexit Party rally in 2019 Nothing will happen obvs😡 1

The British state using taxpayers money, to protect their ally from criticism, who are currently murdering civilians in Gaza, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Yemen and Syria. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

I'm sorry, what

For decades wonks fretted about the closure of the Strait of Hormuz as a theoretical possibility. The war showed how quickly a supposed worst case can become reality. And energy markets will bear the scars for some time

Corey Lewandowski was allegedly trading access to DHS contracts for direct cash payments. This is clear corruption. Oversight Democrats are investigating and we will hold him accountable.

Iran emerges from the war stronger than ever: armed with Chinese weapons, Russian intel, iron grip on the Strait of Hormuz, leverage over the Gulf states, and billions in assets unfrozen by the U.S. A total strategic catastrophe for America. Who calls this a “win”? #IranWar‌

A Fart of a Deal

Experts are saying it: SUVs damage our roads more than ordinary passenger cars. I’ve asked TfL to look into the effect of supersized SUVs in London as more of these vehicles take up space on London’s roads.

Tories would reinstate two-child benefit cap to fund defence, says Badenochö

‼️🇭🇺🇪🇺 Here is a potted timeline thread marking some of the key milestones that built Prime Minister Viktor Orban's illiberal democracy in Hungary over his 16 years in power. His tenure looks likely to end tomorrow. The table stakes for Hungary and Europe could not be higher 1/

The world's leading trade body for airports has warned of "systemic" shortages if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened within weeks news.sky.com/story/airpor...

Fun fact: the last country to build a monumental arch was North Korea. Kim Il Sung opened the truly ugly monstrosity in Pyongyang in 1982.

Curious why Melania Trump held a surprise press conference yesterday? Now it’s become clear. She was responding to close friend Amanda Ungaro whose husband introduced Melania to Trump, & is threatening to expose what she knows about Epstein, Melania & President Trump - who she called a pedophile.

Marjorie Taylor Greene pushed back on critics who say questioning Israel’s influence on the Iran war is antisemitic. “This isn't about Jewish people. This is about the … secular Israeli government and their military,” she told our Dasha Burns on #TheConversation. 🎧 politi.co/4tI2Smz

The entire UKG is dysfunctional. The UK is simply not a serious partner to the EU.

It's not just Mahmood, I think there's a systemic problem at the Home Office that is quite dysfunctional. She sounds just like any number of previous Home Secretaries. Why is the focus of the Home Office on making the lives of people more difficult than it need be? Why the hurdles? Why be so cruel.

Contrast to Spain, where WA protected temporary residents (equivalent to pre-settled status) transition to permanent residency automatically after 5 years with no questions asked, just new photo and fingerprints, pay €12 and collect new ID card (TIE)

Obviously we can't expect the Home Office to follow government policy on warming up UK EU ties... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"Vitiation by Fraud"

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

Explosives found near pipeline ‘likely a Russian provocation’, says military expert Former Ukrainian major general says 4kg of material found in Serbia was attempt to influence Hungary’s election

Putin's advisor who defected to the US, Andrei Illarionov was prophetic over a year ago - specifically discussed the "worst case scenario" regarding US support and why Europe will need to form an alliance with Ukraine for its own survival. Starts at 5:17 ⏯️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs2p...

🚨 BREAKING: Zelensky proposes a defensive military alliance that includes the EU + Ukraine, Turkey, Norway, and the UK. This will enable control of the seas, skies, and land of all Europe as the United States withdraws from NATO. The alliance will be stronger than Russia.

Reform Party candidate was yeeted from Tories due to alleged racist comments www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I would hang the current situation on the Brexiters whenever possible. Starmer has the obvious disadvantage that he voted for it and is doing nothing about it. But so what? Make them defend Brexit if they want to.

The core of Chris's thesis is that an honest debate is needed. Firmly agree👇 And it needs to start now, because, as the marmalade "controversy" demonstrates, the Brexit-exceptionalist side isn't waiting. 5

I am particularly heartened by putting the European position on no cherry picking - by which we mean protecting the single market, the advantages of membership, and unity - front and centre. Seeking the cheat codes to Europe won't work* 2

Chris Grey in absolutely blistering form this week Much of it is dedicated to the dishonesty pervading UK politics which is a result of Brexit. Mostly Brexit is being usedfor political point scoring rather than discussing what type of society the UK should be 1 chrisgreybrexitblog....

So I deleted the initial post However, the US initially supported the plan. A plan that was initially negotiated by Rishi Sunak and supported by the Tories until they decided, alongside Reform, to lobby Washington against it.

Starmer following Trump orders, because he does not have a choice. It's not just opposition from Trump. The US administration had a right of veto and exercised it. Chagos Islands: UK shelves Diego Garcia deal after Trump opposition - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Why do we keep appeasing these dictators? As far as I know, Hungary still keeps the money it stole from Ukraine in a recent bank (transfer) heist/kidnapping. Hungary doesn't even have to follow the law because it has an election coming up 🙄 Talk about special treatment.

What still shocks me is that it took not a whole day and EU states defended the air space in the middle east and still we won't defend the air space of Ukraine.

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas says Europe cannot expand its role in the Strait of Hormuz while dealing with Russia’s war against Ukraine. She notes Gulf states have not supported efforts against Moscow and stresses cooperation cannot be a one-way street. #EU
