The truth: Russia’s fingerprints are all over Brexit and Reform UK. Farage’s spin machine keeps selling “sovereignty”… while his top lieutenants were literally on Moscow’s payroll. But only the NYT is telling the full story. Why is 🇬🇧 press so quiet on this? archive.ph/2025.09.26-1...

Nick Robinson on #BBCToday this morning, talking to Rachel Reeves. 1. You are going to increase taxes -that's wicked 2. You are going to decrease benefits (to avoid tax increase) -that's wicked 3. goto 1. Tedious interview technique :-(

Latest estimate was only 28% of world now lives in some kind of liberal democracy. Not sure if the stats included US. Fatal flaw in liberal democracy is we allow the billionaire elite to hijack our media, which they then use to destroy liberal democracy. #MediaOwnershipRevolution #FreeThePress

Keir Starmer: "I love this beautiful, tolerant, and diverse country. Reform can't say the same thing. How can they, when they want to deport people who are our nurses, our teachers, our friends and our neighbours? That's the politics of division. That's not the politics I stand for."

This is why I never invite Sam to stay in my house.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

I thought Newcastle was never wearing anything warm or waterproof to go out, no matter how cold or wet the weather.

Cyclists! Get your own back on motorists who drive aggressively, block cycle lanes, and park on pavements by... being happier and living longer. That'll teach the suckers! Hahahaha.

Not too late no. Starmer has his own separate agenda which he attended to first. Only then did he turn to Fartrage's crap when he had time. Doing anything else is basically letting Fartrage call the shots. Immediately dropping everything to reply to Fartrage is what you're asking for here.

NEW - Keir Starmer says that Reform UK's policy to abolish indefinite leave to remain is " a racist policy. I do think it is immoral.”

Same!

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records a great sea-flood #OTD in 1014, the tide ‘reaching inland further than ever before, submerging many homesteads and drowning many people’. It may have been a tsunami caused by an asteroid strike. 📸Dave Fergusson #medievalsky

One man opened a series of cinemas in abandoned London buildings (from Catford to Ealing, from Sidcup to Sutton) as part of a plan to revive the capital’s high streets. Politicians love the idea and provided millions to help. So why do they keep going bust? www.londoncentric.media/p/preston-be...

Nexus have confirmed the lights on the level crossing were working at the time.

All credit to the journalists from the @chroniclelive.co.uk for managing to simultaneously frame this as somehow being the metro's fault while not making any mention of a driver whatsoever. Self driving cars, ignoring the flashing lights and sirens and hitting the Metro train. #AbsentDriver

New research shows how “zero budget natural farming” has more than doubled farmer profits | Lynn Dicks

Zero budget natural farming in India increases farmers' profits more than regenerative farming does in the UK.

There needs to be an enquiry in to Reform UK / Brexit Party / UKIP links to Russia.

With Strictly back here’s a picture from Brum Pride. Craig was so lovely to these two crazy glittery idiots.

Motonormativity in action: my city's main hospital has been built miles outside the city, up by a motorway junction. You want to get there but you can't drive? Tough, your time has no value

when the four horsemen of the apocalypse finally do show up i honestly think we should teach them about electric bikes

Laura Kuenssberg supremely smug as she pushes her latest Starmer assassination piece “How much trouble is Starmer in? I asked 30 Labour insiders” What she missed off is “all of whom hate Starmer’s guts” Having switched to Reform from Tories she’s as much a journalist as I’m a pro opera singer❗️🙄

In the whole of 2024, one pedestrian was killed in a collision with a pedal cycle.

Newcastle says no to fascism. The far right brought a hundred or so with them, bussed from far and wide. This city turned out 1000s, from local communities, estates and streets. Geordies of all backgrounds coming together and outnumbering the purveyors of hate by some distance. Newcastle united.

I don't think I need to remind anyone here how vehemently Russia denied its plans to invade Ukraine before the full-scale war.

Nigel Farage means it when he promises to uproot settled immigrants. But the leader of Britain’s hard-right party does not always understand Britons all that well

Nathan Gill, ReFuk 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Ex-Leader & ex MEP agreed to make specific statements to the EU Parl on at least 8 occasions as tasked by Oleg Voloshyn, a pro-Kremlin 🇷🇺 Ukrainian, in return for money, the court was told. In other words he was a Russia fluffer in return for money. Who does that remind you of?
