Kyiv tomorrow: rolling power outages – 7 hours without electricity, 3.5 hours with it. Then repeat. Just a reminder for the world of what russia does.

European leaders urge Zelenskyy not to agree to withdraw troops from Donbas, – Bloomberg "The main thing for Europe is to prevent Zelenskyy from agreeing under US pressure to withdraw troops from Donbas without reliable American security guarantees

No Reform representative on the Laura Kuenssberg show for two weeks running - that's a record! It's almost as though we didn't want to talk about the 28 witnesses to my teenage racism and antisemic abuse.

I'd hate to be a boat owner after this passes. Imagine all the information that could be be useful for your navigation but which would ALSO be potentially useful to those guiding small boats across the Channel. Will the Shipping Forecast cease broadcasting? That, after all, makes crossings easier.

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

Funny how @zackpolanski.bsky.social suggesting a raft of policies to try and improve the lives of the vast majority is ‘fantasy economics’, but when Brexiteers were allowed to indulge their lunatic fantasies about leaving the EU it somehow became ‘The Will of the People’. 🦄🤔

Oh wow, that's awkward. #Gullis

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that Farage won’t investigate the Russian infiltration of Reform. The Prime Minister must step up and launch a national investigation.

Copying Denmark’s hardline asylum policy a ‘terrible idea’, Danes say Helene Brydensholt of the The Alternative party has urged the UK Government to think again, explaining it’s been a disaster for integration and led to more racism www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary." Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%? When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

It's always the ones you most expect... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Gill is being sentenced today for 8 counts of bribery from a Russian agent. Follow @thenerve.news for updates throughout the day. This is why it matters & this is who it harmed: Ukrainian protestors outside the Old Bailey.

Tory hard Brexit didn’t even include our national security, let alone do anything to promote it - in an uncertain world internationalism is vital to our shared safety. Proud to stand with European colleagues at the parliamentary partnership assembly in pledging to tackle this.

Mob boss attacks female reporter again for her “attitude” and says he will ask his FCC commissioner to look into revoking her company’s broadcast license.

Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

Swalwell: Kristi Noem and Tom Homan, you should familiarize yourselves with this room. Get to know that witness chair — you’re going to be parked in it for a long time. Accountability is coming.

"things happen"

Hey Labour Remember the majority of voters who believe in treating people decently and not stealing from those who've endured months and years of hardship fleeing war and persecution to seek a place of safety? We're still over here 👋

Six weeks since the PM said Britain faced a choice between decency or division and our bad, obviously, for not understanding that he was in fact Team Division

To knit together two stories: through intimidation, litigation & extortion, Trump is clearly trying to create a media ecosystem where nobody asks him about Epstein - or indeed anything discomfiting. It is appalling to see so many UK media individuals & institutions aiding & abetting his corruption.

Epstein survivor: “It strikes me as odd that this was a campaign promise of Trump, and he has backpedaled on that... This is an issue that has been highly politicized when it's not a political issue whatsoever.” I think we all know why the White House has politicized this.

Wes Streeting has received £225k from private healthcare donors in the past year and I just don't think my morals could be bought for the price of half a London flat. I don't know if I have a number that would make me sell my country's health service down the river but Wes and I are different.

Meanwhile, in Reform's Lancashire CC, the councillor in charge of care homes, owns a private care home, and is closing council care homes. 👀 A resident’s son, a Reform party member, said any move would “kill” his mother. ~AA #NeverThoughtTheLeopards www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"it's always the fault of the migrants. Except when it isn't." Colin from Portsmouth thinks we should blame immigrants for things before they even happen.

Dear GOD if you want to save money in the asylum system 1. LET ASYLUM SEEKERS WORK 2. FAST TRACK STATUS FOR EVERYONE FROM CLEARLY UNDAFE COUNTRIES like Sudan, Syria, etc 3. Run an asylum accommodation system that is NOT FOR PROFIT #r4today

X is designed to radicalise people. The algorithm promotes Elon Musk's agenda to promote racists and people who want violence bought - specifically - to the streets of Britain. Members of Parliament, major institutions and the media should not be there. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Reform councillor and Doncaster mayoral candidate Alexander Jones needs to urgently provide a family tree showing us where all of his several hundred thousand unique ancestors in the 10th century were living. Or I for one won't believe he's a real English man.

This vile piece of shit shouldn't be anywhere near a Prime Minister contest. He is NOT here to protect your children, your job, your education or your OPINION. He is here to take what the fuck he wants and give it to his billionaire buddies. It's make or break time right here right now! DECIDE!

Reform UK 5% Council Tax Hikes confirmed in: ➡️ Durham ➡️ Kent ➡️ Warwickshire ➡️ Worcestershire ➡️ Leicestershire ➡️ Lincolnshire www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

What he said Part 3: 💯 🎯

The party who claim to be patriots literally had a Reform leadership member caught red handed taking bribes from Russia. This article details the speeches Nathan Gill gave that he was paid to give. How are Reform getting away with this? www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Farage: epic grifter

I have a very bad feeling about this...

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

“Journalism: far from being a neutral arbiter of information, it has the … power to craft the ideas we think with, not just the ideas we think about” @hardeepmatharu.bsky.social in this months @bylinetimes.bsky.social @peterjukes.bsky.social @adambienkov.bsky.social @josiah.writes.news

...what? ...what was that?? ...what the fuck?!.

People cannot do it. They will show up in the ER with no insurance. We will be there. 💙

One of the most important things you should watch today:

This UK👇👇👇

Reform UK Councils Council Tax increases Durham: 4.9% Worcestershire: 5-10% Warwickshire: ~5% Leicestershire: 3% Kent: 5% Lincolnshire: 2%+ Staffordshire: ~5% West Northamptonshire: 5% Derbyshire: 4.9% North Northamptonshire: amount TBD Nottinghamshire: amount TBD Lancashire: amount TBD

Yay. Priceless. The right column at the right time. And a gleefully English two fingers to the haters.

In the last General Election, the people opted to obliterate the Tories into extinction, rightfully so, but now those same Tories are defecting to Farage’s Reform & the people are like “Ooh give me more of your corruption, lies & disgraceful behaviour just in a lighter blue.” It’s painfully stupid.

The enemy within.

Cost of Privatization, Thames Water wants to pollute UK rivers with illegal sewage dumping until 2040, pay no fines, law already permits some sewage dumping. Will still want profits, pay megabucks to execs, dividends and fleece customers. Public ownership is the only way out.

Thank you to @mrjamesob.bsky.social for having me on, one of the v few people in the UK press to follow this story during what is now a decade of media apathy &/or complicity

This is so exciting - and follows the example of many other countries that already have recognition of nature rights in their constitutions. It’s time to give Nature a voice in law! @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social
