This is a horrible, horrible read. It's so difficult to work in UK universities at the moment.

Once again. It’s not about Reform’s vetting process, it’s about what and who they are… to their very core… Ignorant, racist inadequates and weirdos with a v nasty streak. Happy to be useful idiots for a deeply corrupt, hateful leader who will shaft us all for money. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Wind and solar have now beaten fossil fuels in Great Britain for a record 15 months in a row Just a decade ago, fossil fuels were generating four times more than wind + solar Now that's flipped: Since the Iran war, wind and solar generated twice as much as fossil fuels

One of the most optimistic pieces on Trump I've read in ages possibly, ever 👏👏👏

ZELENSKYY: Russia has fought to the point where its main parade now depends on us. This is a clear signal: it’s time to end this war. Ukraine is ready to work for peace.

This is amazing. Brilliant way for people to comprehend the enormity of the files with these visuals. Glad the survivors were acknowledged with the bright light of the candles 🕯️

Reform UK repeatedly cold-called journalist Lucy Gape asking if she would stand as a local candidate. When she looked into it, it revealed a world of poor vetting and murky data practices bylinetimes.com/2026/05/05/r...

Bravo that man! Speaking truth like no one does to the BBC #r4Today

600,000 deaths *so far*. Many, many more to come.

Trump: “Nobody expected that.” With the exception of foreign policy experts, who predicted this as early as 2010. Trump proved again he’s the dumbest president ever….

Did some homework for our pathetic media - the same media that bloated on & on when SKS was given specs and clothing. guidetoprocedure.parliament.uk/articles/xl0...

Why do we have to tolerate such unadulterated bollox from this hideous man? And why does the media give it all a veneer of potential respectability? Farage is pathologically corrupt and obscenely greedy. He’s a national security threat, a liar and a racist. Just say so. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This can't, or shouldn't, be even remotely good enough, and surely wouldn't be accepted as such for any other party leader. Amongst many, many other things, it can't have been both 'unconditional' *and* 'to pay for my security'. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Plans to replace the working class, by 2030, has received surprisingly enthusiastic support from those to be superceded.

If Starmer had taken £5 million pounds from a foreign billionaire who made is fortune on crypto which funded the brutal illegal Russian invasion & sent inflation in the UK to infinity... it'd be wall-to-wall coverage wouldn't it? Media helicopters over Downing Street situation.

Didn't he mention Tether many times just after receiving 5 million pounds from the guy who owns most of it? @mrjamesob.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

🧵 Senate Republicans just released their Homeland Security budget for the next reconciliation bill. Not only does it include more than $34 BILLION in additional funding for ICE and CPB; it also sets aside a cool $1 billion for… …wait for it… TRUMP’S BALLROOM! This is absolute insanity. (1/3)

🚨 I wrote in @statnews.com on the #hantavirus cruise ship outbreak & highlight how quickly outbreaks can evolve. It’s a reminder of what the U.S. has risked by stepping back from @who.int With World Cup ahead, global surveillance and coordination are essential. www.statnews.com/2026/05/05/h...

Listen to this one, folks. Marjorie Taylor Greene spills the tea on Trump and her former colleagues in Congress. “They have no intention of doing the things they promised you on the campaign trail. None.” “They’re bought and paid for.” 1/2

inews.co.uk/news/world/b... It’s now clear that Starmer’s ‘reset’ is going to involve EU budget contributions So why not go the whole hog for a far, far better deal? It’s time to talk about #Rejoin

We don’t do division. We fix potholes, repair church roofs and clean rivers. We focus on the local issues that matter to you and we get things done. Vote Lib Dem on Thursday for a local champion who'll work tirelessly for you.

Core argument

Donald Trump's attempts to throw his weight around and influence a handful of Republican primaries is falling flat with voters and donors who are not willing to back his pushback at GOP incumbents who have forged their own paths.

The first question we should ask ourselves in these and all other elections is: Which candidates oppose the inordinate power of the ultra-rich, and which ones accept or encourage it?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social so pleased you are interviewing Hettie O'Brien. I'm waiting for her book to arrive 😊

@mrjamesob.bsky.social friends of mine took a cruise (first time) from Tilbury to fjords - they were stunned by the beauty and converted to cruising (on board 😜) from then especially in same region.

You know the Government’s intentions to fight anti-semitism really would have more clout if they were no longer using X.

Looks like they had fun after all the serious discussions on closer collaboration to overcome their joint adversaries, like Trump!

"Reform UK has taken out a wraparound cover on a weekly newspaper [the Abergavenny Chronicle] ahead of this week’s elections imploring voters to ‘get Labour out'." Playing with fire, here. Reform are no friends of a free and independent media. www.holdthefrontpage.co.uk/2026/news/re...

Richard Tice confirms it is only human to think the Nazis were great. No surprises there then.

We are making progress on visa liberalisation. I know it matters to Armenians deeply. It matters to the EU too, because it draws our people closer together. I'm sure we will get there. link.europa.eu/fBdCNf

I will add, speaking as someone who has been at these protests, that on the left in general we need to do better at calling out antisemitic signage etc. we see when we're there (even if it doesn't meet the bar of criminality). Zero tolerance. Same as we do transphobic stuff at feminist protests.

Pick harder!

Reform's candidate in Lillie, Hammersmith & Fulham, is a Buddhist author on "yoga, weight loss, [and] yogic breathing" His bio says he "counsel[s] celebrities" inc Simon Le Bon & he says he's worked on Made in Chelsea From India buts runs an anti-migrant TikTok account called "Common Man UK"...

As these things go - and it obviously won't impact on his diehard fans - this, from the Tories, is actually quite an impressive effort.

It’s a no-brainer but ✋✋….

For a party that has sought to present itself as a serious challenger to the political establishment, this an episode that may prove costly.

This explains quite a lot

It pays to follow the money: Farage and his friend Trump are exposing the cynical fraud of populism. My @theipaper.com column on politicians who serve plutocrats while claiming to fight for ordinary folks against the elite inews.co.uk/opinion/trum...

Reeves responded angrily by telling Bessent she did not work for him and disliked how he had spoken to her.

Why isn't Sky News talking about the #FarageCamps

Voici un exemple de reconstitution d’un monument Grec à partir des traces de couleur laissées dans la pierre, le temple d’Athena sur l’acropole d’Athènes.
