Palantir’s deal with the UK financial regulator could your hand your personal data to Trump— MPs and campaigners sound the alarm.

This is a very powerful and enlightening film. Bravo to Emma Barnett and all the brave women who featured. #endometriosis www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

NEW: Freed from office, ex-Ofcom chair & Tory peer Michael Grade gives view on GB News. Other broadcasters “embarrassed” because it covers “the agenda of the majority”. Big intervention in debate over UK’s impartiality rules. He spoke to Politics Home. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

The Railways Bill comes back to parliament on 3rd June. We have just a few days to make sure MPs back amendments to protect passengers' rights and our environment. I've emailed my MP. Can you take 2 minutes now to email your MP? weownit.org.uk/act-now/prot...

The UK government should do something about malevolent foreign interference in British democracy. Urgently.

This is the British Army’s Guide For Spotting “Extreme Right Wing” Soldiers. Read this & it becomes obvious that swathes of UK public, particularly those who are in or support Reform and Restore hold extreme right wing views. They are the real danger to the UK. Applies to other countries of course

I enjoyed chatting with Stephen Colbert on "The Late Show" last summer. He has always been kind to me when I've been a guest on his various shows — and he's a wicked smart satirist. Are you planning to tune in to his farewell episode tomorrow night?

I was just remembering that Farage didn't hold any surgeries in Clacton for months (I mean, does he now?) citing the fact that he was very vulnerable because gov't had not given him enough public money to keep safe. But it now turns out that he had already pocketed £5m for security. Hmm. 🤔

Behind every problem is a disgustingly rich greedy bastard trying to make even more profit. Housing, Healthcare, Energy, Food. It's always the same problem.

There are at least 4 Bournemouth players I’d be happy to see sign for @manutdfc.bsky.social this summer.

Donald Trump just stole $1.7B from us — and he's creating a slush fund to reward his political allies. I've never seen anything like this in my 50 years in politics. It makes Nixon look like a boy scout. www.cnbc.com/2026/05/18/t...

Solid data on (at least one of the reasons) why Starmer’s govt is so unpopular.

If during vetting for, say, certain UK Civil Service roles an applicant was found to have lied about their finances to this extent or had a close associate who'd been jailed for taking bribes from a hostile foreign power, they'd be considered a textbook security risk. That's exactly what Farage is.

Bangaranga! 🇧🇬 #eurovision 🫶🏽

Alex Haley grew up in Tennessee. He traced his family tree back to his original enslaved, African ancestor, then wrote 'Roots'. He received a Pulitzer Prize for it. Knoxville just banned it 'cause it might make white kids sad.

Makerfield is probably the most significant by-election in my lifetime, if not in living memory. If Reform prevail we could be heading for a very dark place nationally in the not too distant future. And that’s something that should concern us all. #manchester #byelection #makerfield

Nigel Farage is a GRIFTER - pass it on.

I think this could be a pretty consequential moment in national history. Our two interactions with the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards have been pretty unsatisfactory so we're going do a deep dive into the law which we'll share.

245 major cultural figures have signed a letter in support of Misan Harriman after a disgraceful and dishonest smear campaign by the Telegraph. Thanks to the Guardian for covering the letter, and for linking to the open letter where you can add your own name.

After winning the 2026 BAFTA TV Award for Leading Actress for her role as Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe in Prisoner 951 Narges Rashidi says, "I was a 7 year old who survived war" "But so many children in Iran, Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, may never get that opportunity, that chance"

An earlier me - privileged, white, wealthy - could not have imagined finding this stuff terrifying or understood why othered people - Black, Jewish, immigrants - did. But I listened, and I watched, and I learned. And they were right. I'm begging you to listen and watch and learn.

Destany Pete researched an Indigenous chokecherry recipe and achieved promising “in vitro” results on cancer cells. Her science project gained international recognition for combining traditional knowledge with modern laboratory experimentation.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

But let’s all lose our shit because Keir Starmer was given some suits.

No one expected Keir Starmer to solve our pressing problems overnight. But what we did expect – and had every right to expect – was that he would lay out a clear vision and roadmap for doing so. Instead, we’ve had drift, appeasement and a startling absence of ideas, values and ambition. 🧵1/6

Happy birthday David Attenborough! 🎉 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Interesting from Sir John Curtice, the UKs top polling expert on Englands council election and the Reform surge

A please @labouruk.bsky.social, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.

People have the right to exist! What do you think?

I feel like small matters such as “selling off most of the things that help governments to make themselves useful, out of pure hardcore ideological conviction” and “a pathological loathing for investment in services and infrastructure” may also have contributed

Every nation should propose an Attenborough Act, enshrining the rights of Nature, and all its creatures and life-sustaining functions and features, in every constitution, in perpetuity. They deserve it, and so does Sir David. It would be a fitting tribute to a life well lived. Happy birthday, Sir.

Just met a group of friends who just voted in a Senedd election for the first time! Voting to make hope normal again! 💚💚💚

Just took 93yr Mum to vote, she's registered blind. In a very loud voice she said, "Which box for boob hypnosis?" A cheer went up from waiting voters

Remember in today's elections there are some parties who would jail this pensioner for being right 1. Antisemitism is real & revolting; 2. To march against a UK government that supports genocide is to march *against* hate; 3. There is nothing 'Jewish' about Netanyahu's crimes; #SolidarityPalestine
