This is Molly. She was finally found a week after her human fell down a 180-foot waterfall while hiking together in New Zealand. Her human was badly injured and rescued by helicopter, but Molly was missing. A week later, Molly was found at the base of the waterfall and reunited with her human. 14/10

Brilliant to see that Reform is imploding in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Environment Agency uncovered over 3,000 breaches of pollution laws in a year by England water companies. Companies have more than 1200 criminal prosecutions None had licence cancelled. No exec prosecuted. Companies negotiate fines. Fines waived or deferred. Any pressure points for better conduct?

Spain invested heavily in clean energy over the last 6 years. Now, as gas prices rise, Spain has some of the lowest electricity costs on the continent. In August 2025, Spain used zero coal — just 10 years ago it powered 25% of the country. This is what energy independence actually looks like. 🌎

The UK government is exploring triggering the break clause in Palantir’s NHS contract, the FT reports. A big and absolutely correct step.

We need to be talking a lot less about the resilience of supply chains, and a lot more about their potential weaponisation by countries or companies. www.ft.com/content/5cf9...

I’ve long covered MAGA politics but I was shocked by what I heard at CPAC. It has radicalised yet further. It’s a movement convinced it must not only save the US but Western civilisation. Because in their mind, the UK and Europe has already “fallen” to Islam. Watch 👇 youtu.be/t3Y_ozT_p3g?...

Am on BBC Radio 5 Live shortly talking about political donations and foreign interference in British politics. Wrote about some of this in light of Rycroft Review this week: democracyforsale.substack.com/p/has-labour...

This is Lord Rothermere the owner of the Daily Mail. He lives in a massive mansion in the English countryside, but he pays no tax here because he identifies as French. While the Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda and pays no tax anywhere. That is his ‘Patriotism’.

Let's keep up the pressure: #PalantirOut. First the NHS, then defence contracts www.ft.com/content/2d2b...

Still not sure why we're putting Daily Mail *and* journalist in the same sentence? They protect power and wealth of their owner at all costs. That's all. Media reform to stop a tiny amount of people owning the vast majority of our media urgently needed. www.thenational.scot/news/2597765...

Can't believe I have an Internet connected oven but still have to set the time manually. What's worse I've got 2 of them and the time's are always slightly off.. Feckin stupid companies!

Figures.

New York’s public hospitals dropped Palantir this week. Is it time the NHS did the same? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/mar/26/new-york-hospitals-palantir-ai

Curse of private equity This is an interesting story of how private equity turned UK care homes for vulnerable elderly people into cash machines. Govt privatised care service. PE hiked prices, councils forced to pay PE loaded companies with debt, cut wages/staffing, asset-stripping, poor service

3 things that genuinely annoy me: 1. The lack of political will to tackle climate breakdown 2. Injustice and wealth inequality 3. International football during the club season. The 3rd one is testing my patience right now to the limits.

For whoever needs to hear this I'm the only Jewish person to lead a political party - third largest in the country. The Daily Mail have been & always will be my enemy - they historically supported fascists & continue to do so. I'll take no lectures from them on Antisemitism.

That was annoying, my #bsky account got hacked somehow. Got locked out for a day. Whoever did it deleted my profile pic & description and posted some dodgy links (I assume they were dodgy, I didn't open one). Wonder how that happened @bsky.app?

The EU negotiates as a trading bloc of 450 million. The UK negotiates alone. Of course, the EU gets a better trade deal. https://www.politico.eu/article/anger-as-eu-gets-better-trade-deal-with-australia-than-brexit-britain/

UK to ban cryptocurrency political donations and £100,000 cap on donations from Britons living abroad. Long overdue. £100,000 cap still enables the super rich to buy political parties, power and influence. Banning all donations is the only way of curbing political corruption.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

It is nuts how there's a) a very real energy crisis b) yet my electricity price is 31% cheaper than normal because it's very windy in the uk c) really big batteries (possibly a lot of those big ones that you used to put in portable CD players) could sort a lot of this out

Privatisation is going well! 🙄

Keir Starmer set to ban crypto donations in blow to Nigel Farage Independent review to set out steps to protect British democracy from foreign interference after Reform UK became the first party to accept bitcoin donations www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

“Unusual activity“ was observed on the main US stock market just 15 minutes before Trump went public with his invented ceasefire. Trading volumes were up to 6 times higher than normal. One bet was 1.5 billion dollars, placed 5 minutes before the truth social post appeared. youtu.be/KUe48ybcBSc?...

BREAKING: A price cap will be placed on pet prescriptions, the Competition and Markets Authority has announced Pet owners will pay a maximum of £21 for their first prescription and £12.50 for any other medicines

If I were America, I’d simply utilise those well-regulated militias as a bulwark to tyrannical government that I’d been going on about for the last couple of centuries.

This is exactly why so many transparency campaigners are calling for crypto donations to be banned

Thatcher tookover the Tories from their far right wing, & in 1979 was the first elected neoliberal govt- to install Friedman & Hayek’s corporate dystopia (PInochet was no.1). She credited the IEA with ‘creating the climate of opinion which made victory possible’. IEA copied 550 times= #AtlasNetwork

I see Question Time has reached its inevitable endgame. It was bound to happen.

It’s very weird how Americans* are all “Freedom or death!” and “We will crush you” and “I will die for my flag” and “nothing shall stop us in our sacred mission ordained by god” one minute, and then tiny little wussy-pants cry-babies because it costs a few bucks more to fill up their truck.

👏 Luke Murphy MP: "Those who actively oppose the transition to clean energy, such as Reform, prefer instead to expose every family, every business and community in Britain to the boot of the fossil fuel dictator stamping on their neck forever."

Just remember, we are faster than you... I love this song by FM Belfast #FMBelfast

I love FM Belfast. I love the pure joy that they bring. You’ll see more from them. I think this song and video are brilliant. #lookingup #havealaugh “Your head is as numb as your face, your head is as numb as your face, I'm gonna learn American, I'm gonna learn American." youtu.be/jjplj2_k5HA

Can we please stop calling racists “populists”!

Also, he's calling it a "so-called straight" because he doesn't know it's spelt 'strait', and he's noticed it has it has a turn in it, therefore... he is,isn't he? President Moron

You might have formed the impression that Paul Johnson, former director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, knows what he's talking about. The media treats him like the voice of God. But here he is - and not for the first time - talking out of his hat. Let's break it down in a short thread. 🧵

GB News has turned into the Reform channel. After a New World investigation found hundreds of breaches of the rules on accuracy and impartiality, Ofcom has failed to do its job and act. We've seen what Fox News has done to politics in the US. We can't let it happen here.

VICTORY! Government to open up the Land Registry - bringing to an end a thousand years of secrecy shrouding who owns England. I’ve been campaigning for this for ten years: the new Land Use Framework, published later today, makes it government policy. 1/ www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"From 2002, NCP was subsequently owned by private equity companies Cinven and 3i, and then by an infrastructure fund run by the Australian bank Macquarie, which loaded it with debt. In 2011, under Macquarie’s ownership, NCP had debts of £450m." Another grim win for offshore asset strippers.

Happy St Patrick's Day ☘️ Unlike the UK, Ireland uses a proportional STV system. As a result, it has: ✅ Higher trust in politics ✅ More representative and stable governments ✅ Fewer wasted votes that don't elect anyone ✅ A parliament that better reflects public opinion.

I'm sure someone smarter has already proposed this, but we need a supercharged Right to Repair 2.0. If companies won't support products, they must release the software to open source. If they don't sell replacement parts, they must facilitate 3rd party efforts (share technical plans).

Richard Tice doesn't care about your stories about his tax affairs. He's forgotten then already, and they don't bother him at all. thecritic.co.uk/its-...
