NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

This is literally what the Telegraph campaigned for.

This festive season spare a thought for those who are locked up for taking bribes from the world leader I admire most.

Number crunching: Telegraph editorial columns in December highlighting ‘the unreliability of social media’ v corrections the Telegraph has had to publish so far this year due to inaccurate reporting From the new Private Eye, out now.

Oxymoron of the week: 'working royal'

Wise words from Neil Kinnock here - worth ten minutes of your day. open.substack.com/pub/alanrusb...

The story of Farage and Putin, told by British-Ukrainian soldier Shaun Pinner on a destroyed apartment block in Kyiv.

Breakthrough of the year? Renewable energy www.science.org/content/arti...

The UK just committed £22bn to carbon capture and storage – a tech with an 80% failure rate that lets oil & gas greenwash their emissions. At this CCS conference, most speakers repped fossil fuel companies. Share if you think it's absurd we're funding tech that protects fossil fuel profits 🙃

"The whistleblowers, who have shared confidential documents and emails with ITV News to back up their claims, are senior civil servants involved in the development of the One Login technology, which will form the basis of Digital ID." www.itv.com/news/2025-12...

Plausible worst-case climate futures and extreme events for the UK Paper by Arnell et al.: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/... Article: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The OBR has warned of the downside risk to the UK economy of an 'AI bubble' bursting I asked the Minister whether he agreed, and what steps his department and UKRI are taking to protect investments in innovative companies that would undoubtedly be affected by a market correction

NEW ANALYSIS: Electric vehicles are entering the mid-transition space starting to replace ICE vehicles. History shows that shifts like this can happen faster than expected: in the early 20th-century US, horses and mules virtually vanished from roads in under 30 years. cdn.sanity.io/files/lrxd4j...

'the memo gives step-by-step instructions on how to utilize a psychological manipulation tactic known as DARVO (deny, attack, reverse victim and offender) in order to brush aside any alleged wrongdoing'. Farage uses the same scumbag technique all the time.

Frustrating to see Labour Government is following a similar trend to the previous government and delaying/blocking release of information on PPE VIP Lane. A quick 🧵

Labour needs a new PM with a new agenda. The reboot needs to: ✔️ Introduce PR. ✔️ Apply to rejoin the Single Market and EU. ✔️ Accept austerity doesn't work. ✔️ Accept immigration does work. ✔️ Introduce a new tax bracket for the super-rich. ✔️ Write a constitution. ✔️ Fight disinformation.

I'm glad Keir Starmer has listened to our calls for this inquiry following the Reform Russian bribery scandal. Nigel Farage should be the first to give evidence.

Over a quarter of global new car sales in 2025 were electric, finds @ember-energy.org "This is a major turning point. Emerging markets are no longer catching up, they are leading the shift to electric mobility" says @euangraham.bsky.social #EVs ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

Genuine question: Why's the reaction of many politicians to AI 'it's transformational, we must go faster, we can dismiss concerns over energy, copyright, job losses', yet the reaction to a clean tech transition that's more advanced and has less overt downsides is 'steady now, we need to slow down'.

Reform UK Ltd gets 92% of its funding from climate change deniers and fossil fuel corporate interests

Just so we're clear, one incident of alleged anti-semitism by a musician = a major national scandal that should be roundly condemned. Multiple incidents of alleged anti-semitism from the man leading the race to run the country = a load of nothing that should be completely ignored

Hit the mute! #totp

YES YES YES thank you @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 🙏 😩AT LAST someone rasiing the alarm about what Europe's plummeting brith rates really mean!! "In reality, without immigration there will be no Europe, no civilisation and no one left to argue about it."⚠️ It's. that. simple.

If handing someone their arse, was a video clip

🔴 REVEALED 🔴 The Institute of Economic Affairs – the anti-state, anti-climate pressure group that "incubated" Liz Truss – was bankrolled by oil giants and Rupert Murdoch’s media empire. 📝 Exclusive findings from @desmog.com 👇

With the peerages announced today, the Prime Minister has now added more peers than they are removing by scraping the 92 hereditary peers. We need a smaller, elected second chamber where the public, not politicians, decide who joins and who leaves. buff.ly/sxfoF5s

Critics argue that the ECHR stops us from being able to deport illegal migrants. In reality, in 75 years the ECHR has only ruled against the UK in 13 cases out of 500k: 0.000026%. The ECHR is being used a scapegoat for domestic challenges, and we must defend it.

Thanks to everyone (especially @adambarnett.bsky.social) for the suggestions. There were so many pro-Putin statements by Farage, we turned them into a Griftmas Advent Calendar bylinetimes.com/2025/12/10/n...

How many times do we need to point this out? By appeasing the far right, you do not weaken it. You strengthen it. While weakening your own position. There's a vast amount of academic research showing this. But Labour will not listen. www.theguardian.com/law/2025/dec...

Time to move.

Christmas at the BBC

The House of Lords is second only to the Chinese National People’s Congress for its number of members. Is this a model we want to follow? It’s long past time for a smaller, representative and accountable second chamber. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This government has no courage to actually change things in a meaninful way. As with the budget, the best it can do is tinker around the edges while the system gets worse.

This is just joyous. Can't wait to see him and the band next year

🔴 Boris Johnson and Alexander Lebedev Must Be Investigated in a New Public Inquiry into Russian Influence If you think the Gill conviction is bad, wait till you hear about another Leave campaigner and his connections to Putin’s inner circle… bylinetimes.com/2025/12/02/b...

In the Netherlands, where the Dutch invest in safe cycling, the over-65s cycle around a quarter of their journeys, while the over-80s cycle around 10% of theirs. Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and cycle lanes don't 'restrict freedom', they expand it.

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’. 🦄🤔

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

This is such a good piece from @mjrobbins.com. Am absolutely captivated by this story and how the hell it was allowed to happen. martinrobbins.substack.com/p/rubbish-mo...

Even at the time, Johnson’s wild weekend in Umbria felt somewhat suspicious. With this new information, you can understand why some are now calling it outright treasonous

Whatever happened to Leveson 2? Chris Mason, Kuntsberg et al now completely out of control & Reform continue to be given a disproportionate amount of air time. This will continue until the BBC board is dismantled

Dave Borlace at Just Have a Think just posted an incredible video from the UK regarding the climate crisis. I never miss his weekly videos on environmental issues. They are informative and enjoyable. Check his channel out. youtu.be/8sa7uh192r0?...

One point that may have been lost: I’ve never seen this ad before. It’s only when I searched for Mexican folk music tonight that YouTube started running it. Google’s surveillance technology has enabled the government to selectively terrorize specific groups in service of white supremacy.

“A petition demanding a full inquiry into Russian influence in UK politics has surged past 100,000 signatures after being shared at remarkable speed across social media.”
