"Last year, xAI was operating 35 gas-burning turbines without a permit to power its Colossus 1 site, which is located in Boxtown, a historic Black neighborhood in Memphis that already faces extremely high rates of cancer and respiratory illness from decades of industrial pollution."

“I think that he (Morgan McSweeney) said to the Prime Minister don’t worry about that I can sort this out and was railroading it through treading on process” Emily Thornberry Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee tells Sky’s Sophy ridge

I'm just relieved nobody is talking about how I said I bought a house in Clacton, then admitted it was in the name of my girlfriend, Laure Ferrari, even though she couldn't afford £885,000, which conveniently meant I avoided £44,000 in tax. Please don't share.

Nigel Farage is already involved in countless dodgy dealings and scams. He remains unscrutinised by the media. If he were to get to No10 we would get a repeat of Trump in the US - Farage enriching himself & his pals and the media continuing to ignore it.

The Onion thinks this is satire, but it's not. In a survey published in July 2025, the Canadian firm Leger revealed that 47% of Republicans would still support Donald Trump even if he "was officially implicated in Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking activities" (see: leger360.com/trump-epstei...)

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question: When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

A very informative, well-informed thread. Long but worth reading in full.

My question is whether electrical grids have human life support routing priority or if data centers get energy first, provided they’re the highest bidder. Ostensibly could making AI art could cause people to die in the winter during a blackout? Could you imagine listing AI as the cause of death?

“I was brainwashed by Nigel Farage.” We asked people in East Wiltshire, the constituency of Danny Kruger, if Brexit was a mistake. Here's what they said. ⬇️ Write to your local paper to show it is time to talk about EU membership: https://www.bestforbritain.org/write_to_paper_eu_membership

Rosalind Franklin was a pioneering chemist, humanist, and one of the most important figures in uncovering the structure of DNA. Her work, including the famous Photo 51, was central to one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs of the 20th century – though her contributions were long overlooked.

Fight every fight. Don’t cede an inch. Don’t comply in advance. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I get that people say "if lefties criticise Starmer it just paves the way for Farage." What's the alternative? Ignore incompetence and corruption? Let it become normalised, just in time for the far right to enter govt and REALLY go to town? I'm gonna criticise ANYBODY incompetent or corrupt.

If you’re a climate/energy person, I will take your portrait pro bono.

Next CEO pay rose from £4.9m to £7.4m, could hit £9.27m this year. Company changed CEO pay formula because it didn't give directors enough. Non-exec directors to get higher pay. Most shop workers toil on/around minimum wage. Govts preach pay restraint to workers but no curbs on fat-cattery.

I note how small the -> Reform line is and how big the -> Green line is. Anyway, remind me why we're doing the immigration changes again? Political hari kari

Ironically the BBC stumbled on a really important story: Desperate asylum seekers being forced to turn to fraudulent fee-charging “advisors” to navigate a system that is intentionally impossibly baroque and from which all sources of free advice have been removed. But no: they chose Fake Gay Panic.

MattGPT Goodwin and Farage admit where their loyalties lie. Don’t ever let these fascist foghorns pretend they’re not fully signed up and paying members of the Putin/Trump/Orban fanclub. They’re distancing themselves frantically now. Too late. (Private Eye)

Alternative headline: Vulnerable people exploited by profiteering fraudsters who stand to make millions by posing as legal advisors. As I wrote in 'Anywhere But Here', these advice sharks have networks as entrenched as smugglers. Nothing is being done to stop them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Could MattGPT face scrutiny under the UK’s ‘proceeds of crime’ law? The British right is awash with money from Orban thinktanks…which Hungary’s new PM says was stolen. Brilliant deep dive into Orban’s vast UK network by Alice McCook for The Nerve. 👏

As everyone who knows anything about education knows. In the modern era, Grammar schools are about entrenching privilege.

This royal visit is going to be one humiliation after another.

"Hope is, of course, the main emotion one associates with Reform UK, a party whose other big intervention last weekend was Robert Jenrick’s online whinge that poor and disabled people were stealing from hardworking families via the medium of cut-price tickets to London Zoo."

A sanctioned Iranian supertanker - with its tracker on - has sailed through the Strait of Hormuz into Iran without interference. (Fars) Looks like the US blockade is just hot air. Who would have guessed.

#sunset behind a tree! What a perfect photo!

If the #JCB Family of Multi-Millionaires are so hard up to pay proper Inheritance Taxes, why are they able to donate SO MUCH MONEY to #Reform Party? Oh ... so they have expectations of #Reform helping out the Multi-Millionaires? Right. Noted. "Party of the People", eh?🤮🤮

A Belgian actor has exposed Europe's hypocrisy He said: "You are thinking of expelling the Iranian ambassador from the country, but during the genocide that has been ongoing for two years, none of you has demanded the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador. This is shameful."

Lovely people, these Reform UK candidates for the upcoming election, and great to know they're on our side.

The Daily Telegraph is a preposterous far right comic book, trading in ideological lies, misrepresentation, and hate. Anyone working there while claiming to be a good faith journalist is either a fool or a fascist. #bbcpm @privateeyenews.bsky.social

New from me: No increase in global coal power generation after Hormuz closure - solar and wind growth covered the fall in gas-fired generation. The record buildout of clean energy in 2025 helped mitigate the impact of the Hormuz closure.

Farage says: #reform is out of control.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk As Orbán bites the dust, it’s worth remembering this old Farage confession in the clear. He always seems to be compelled to thank foreign entities for their help in damaging our national interests - it has echoes of a serial killer taunting the police.👇

Here's Trump as a proctologist: bsky.app/profile/scho...

If you return unwanted Reform local election leaflets to their party headquarters using their free post address, then it will cost the party £2.50 per envelope. Please don’t share this information; it could cost Nigel Farage a fortune.

New slogans for local elections Reform UK: We'll make you poorer to make us richer Labour: Keeping everyone happy by disappointing everyone equally Conservatives: Already out of ideas three leaders ago Lib Dems: No, we're not sure either Greens: Sensible ideas that the rich will tell you are radical

Even if some birds at times collide with wind turbines, it's going to be quite difficult to ever reach the same numbers as birds colliding with buildings: abcbirds.org/news/bird-bu... I think it's time for people to stop coming up with reasons to keep wind turbines from getting built everywhere.

Indeed, EU law *literally* protected Magyar from prosecution by Orbán, who wanted to prosecute him - but Magyar is an MEP, and the European Parliament refused to waive his immunity balkaninsight.com/2025/10/10/m...

Reminder that in addition to Russia/Ukraine issues, Orbán was also vetoing more sanctions against violent West Bank settlers www.eunews.it/en/2026/02/2...

Watching My Cousin Vinny once again and struggling to decide whether Joe Pesci or Marisa Tomei is the more brilliant in their role. Could there be a more perfect pairing than those two? #filmsky

So...the new approach to the Strait is, "You're not breaking up with me, I'm breaking up with you!" I'm I reading this correctly?

In the last few days we've had MPs hammered for... erm dancing in public at a community fisco and using their phone in a pub. Genuinely, why would anyone put themselves through it?

according to the usual rules applied by the right-wing Westminster hacks, and BBC political reporters, Farage’s screeching war U-turn, Tice’s tax issues, recent losses, and other scandals make them a party in crisis with serious questions about the leader’s credibility

Farage: A man of great character, instincts and strong conviction. 😂😂😂😂

The Middle East is full of religious extremists who blindly revere evil men. Oops! I meant *The United States* not The Middle East.

Look, this is a grey squirrel of a solecism and I hate it. The correct expression is ALL MOUTH AND TROUSERS, implying front, bravado, brashness with nothing of substance within. The needful idiom here is ALL GONG AND NO DINNER. Something that promises much but delivers nothing.

Reminder.

it’s important to remember The Apprentice, and only The Apprentice, that was responsible for Trump’s image as a smart businessman

It's deeply annoying that all of the people who promoted and backed Trump will blithely carry on making prouncements and grifting away without any consequences.

In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.

Liberal Democrat MPs have written to Keir Starmer today calling on him to withdraw US access to UK air bases. Donald Trump's latest shocking threats against Iran would amount to war crimes. The UK cannot be complicit.
