BOOM! South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less. THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis. #EnergyRevolution

I hope the new Permanent Secretary at the Home Office is going to be able to look at the UK Visas and Immigration’s practices www.thetimes.com/article/1644...

What in the actual hell

Free speech news

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Cambridge Analytica broke our world

Last week, Farage was demanding a ban on "mass religious observances" in public spaces and described Muslim prayers in Trafalgar Square as "provocative" and an attempt to "intimidate and dominate" UK society. This week, he's defending the "free speech" of a multimillionaire who celebrates Hitler.

Once more from the top for the people at the back on catch-up #ThisIsAmerica

In a stunning example of Reform efficiency, Nottinghamshire council spent £75,000 putting flags on streets because fiscal genius Lee Anderson said the cost would be covered by sponsorship. Except nobody has agreed to sponsor any.

Lord O'Neill, Economist and former Conservative government minister, has called Brexit a “colossal economic shock” that is causing "more permanent damage” to the British economy than the current energy crisis is likely to. Isolating ourselves from the largest free market was a mistake.

You have to feel sorry for James Dyson. Imagine buying up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax, only for Labour to then close the loophole. We need more patriots like him, who drive up farmland prices and vote for Brexit then fuck off to Singapore.

In a blatant act of provocation yesterday, Sadiq Khan allowed Christians to perform the Passion of Jesus in Trafalgar Square - a disgraceful show of dominance by a religion from the middle east.

Being outside the EU is sort of the natural consequence of leaving the EU and not punishment for it… www.majorcadailybulletin.com/news/local/2...

Analysis by the House of Commons library estimates that Brexit is costing the Treasury up to £90bn a year!

After taking time to connect with the Pretti family and with their consent, we are honored to share that we have created the Alex Pretti Nursing Scholarship. For those interested, you can learn more and make a gift here: crowdfund.umn.edu/campaigns/Al...

This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee. What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18

OOPS! GB News owner Paul Marshall tried to rebut Christian leaders, who criticised his channel's dodgy climate coverage…but in the process he made 25 dodgy claims of his own 🫠 Impressively, he packed the 25 dodgy claims into just 340 words 👏 Receipts: docs.google.com/docu...

Yes, times are really fucking tough right now, but so are these dubs, so please give them a blast and buy them while you can (I can't risk leaving them up too long)

Am not an energy analyst but why does seem every interview with a U.K. minister this week included a pointed question about why not drilling more in North Sea and almost none about renewables/net zero as an energy security imperative? It’s bizarre, frankly

In what world is it okay for the Defense Secretary to make multi-million dollar investments in defense companies: a) Ever; b) In the run-up to starting a war in the Middle East FT has the scoop: www.ft.com/content/744e... In a functional democracy, he would offer his resignation tonight.

Another day, another right-wing outrage🙄 We had Easter eggs last weekend, then children doing yoga at school... And now it's..... Bubble bath!😆 Is there anything that doesn't enrage them? So let's take a look at the "concerns" 🧵1/19

NY Times reports Hegseth just struck 2 Black and 2 female officers from a promotion list — and says Hegseth’s Chief of Staff told the army secretary “Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events” More: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/u...

List of all the countries in the world that ban all Afghan women from studying in their sovereign Higher Education institutions: 1. Afghanistan 2. United Kingdom Must make you proud to wave your flags, UK patriots with legitimate concerns. Wave them!!!

Are you: 1. In the UK? 2. A trade unionist or member of a tenants union? 3. Want to fight the far-right? 4. Want to finally be involved in decision-making, from the ground-up? Then good news! You can join Trade Unionists Fighting the Far-Right (TUFF) www.tuff.network

Australians now have better mobility into the EU than Brits “Under the new scheme, Australians can live and work in Europe for up to four years without needing a job offer before arrival.” Second class citizens in our own continent www.skynews.com.au/lifestyle/tr...

"It's not fair of environmentalists to point out that in addition to being finite resources that are actively destroying the planet, fossil fuels also leave us at the mercy of fragile supply and logistics chains significantly controlled by autocrats in geopolitically chaotic parts of the world."

30% of the disabled community cannot drive due to their disability. Compared to less than 2% of all driver aged population being unable to drive

I have deleted my original debunk of this story as it appears it is actually an amalgamation of 2 stories... (Don't let anyone tell you I'm not prepared to be corrected!!) So let's look at them individually: We'll start with the photo... So what's going on? 🧵1/12

So, Mo Salah is leaving at the end of the season. Worth re-watching the best game he featured in during his time in English football I think: youtu.be/8AJVgxQ082g?... #bcafc

No idea whether the conspiracy theories about this story have any merit but to hear Tories stirring it up after Lord Bethell 'replaced' his mobile before it could be searched as part of a probe into Covid contracts and Boris Johnson's unwillingness to hand over his phone to the Covid inquiry is rich

Farage hasn’t learnt a thing from the Nathan Gill Russian bribery scandal. Reform accepting untraceable, anonymous crypto from across the globe is a direct threat to our national security. He must return the cash or admit he’s happy to let foreign money poison British politics.

Even though it’s ugly to read I think publishing offensive remarks at the heart of a scandal is the only way you can understand the scandal. Euphemisms and paraphrases whitewash the offence

A retired Army colonel with four tours in Afghanistan and Iraq: “They’re completely diminishing what they’re asking the nation to do in Iran. It seems almost obscene relative to the actual violence and suffering that’s involved with this” wapo.st/4bvzfyu

Nobody understands this about the government’s settlement reforms. People think it's 10 years for most & 15 years for care workers But its 15 years for all midskill roles, whatever the salary, if not a graduate job role classified at RQF level 6. Lab technicians, data analysts, hotel managers

Here’s the article: www.opendemocracy.net/en/labour-im...

Crypto donations to political parties to be banned. Good. Farage claims this is aimed directly at Reform. Good. He also says that him publicly promoting Harborne’s crypto company had nothing to do with Harborne giving Reform £9M. You’d have to be a v special kind of useful idiot to believe that.

FT Exclusive: Traders made bets worth half a billion dollars in the oil market about 15 minutes before Donald Trump’s post touting 'productive' talks with Iran sent the price of crude tumbling ft.trib.al/SVLeLoM

The company knows just who that somebody is and I'm pretty sure a government that gave a shit would have no trouble prying that information loose.

This sounds like @goldielookinchain.bsky.social

Wondering what leverage in negotiations looks like? Australia's new FTA with the EU provides 16,830 tonnes of tariff free access for beef. Australia's FTA with the UK, completed with a desperate Johnson administration, provided 35,000 tonnes tariff free, rising to unlimited over 15 years.

They knew before the announcement.

Last week in the Lords we voted for women having an abortion to have safe choices and not to be investigated for criminal charges. I am proud to have voted for this. We did *not* vote to legalise abortion up till birth. Lots of misinformation - so here are facts 👇🏽 www.instagram.com/p/DWPJgNgDo1...

Surely not! Corruption in Trumpland?!

So, about those Eid prayers in London... "What's the highest thing in Trafalgar Square?" "Nelson's column, innit?" "And the highest thing on the column?" "Nelson." "And on Nelson?" "His hat." "And the highest thing on his hat?" "That bit that sticks up." 1/8
