This is a great example that the US president is a lunatic. Listen carefully 🙈

It really can be this easy btw.

Shame on the BBC and all credit to Robin Ince.

Met Police Chief Inspector Sir Mark Rowley is looking to get himself banned from visiting America. One must not criticise US Liar-in-Chief.

If handing someone their arse, was a video clip

So NewsCorp pays the IEA to create the kind of 'news' that NewsCorp wants to publish and have people believe and share, thus clickfunding NewsCorp. A virtueless circle of disinformation and misinformation.

Brilliant and informative.

We are fighting a losing battle against stupid. And that's because we're led by a general who thinks out-stupiding stupid is the best strategy. How's that working out for you Keir? Oh, record low polling and King Stupid on course to become Prime Minister? Who'da seen that coming?

@adamdkharrison.bsky.social Camden Council and the local Labour Party should be doing this as well.

Kemi Badenoch is a dual citizen who has admitted to committing a crime.

We should buy one of these. It would be good to do some comparative checks of the various types of buildings and housing in North London. @powerupnorthlondon.bsky.social

The 'What the Papers Say' section of news programmes should be replaced with What the Papers Botched, where the microscopic 'apologies' and corrections buried away on page 23 are openly discussed with each Editor.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Large-scale new housing developments MUST be connected to public transport from Day 1. A new article by our Head of External Affairs:

A man who was made a peer under Boris Johnson, just so that he could be a minister for Scotland, having failed to be actually elected, and has since bunged a million quid Farage's way is now going to have the cheek to ask Scottish working people to vote for him? Really? share.google/e0K3JE33edMl...

100% THIS!!!!

⏰ It's time for change on immigration policy - We all agree on that much! Labour so far have got it all wrong, chasing hostile headlines that will only make our system crueller, society more divided & immigrants easier to exploit. BUT THERE IS ANOTHER WAY!! My 9-point plan for a system that works👇

ID cards, limiting trial by jury, and now "plans for a huge rollout for facial recognition cameras in cities, towns and villages across the country" Labour laying the foundations for a far right government to build on #GMB

Labour continues to cross my red lines. I won’t vote for a party that won’t contemplate rejoining the EU. I won’t vote for a party that supports ethnic cleaning in Palestine. I won’t vote for a party that is hostile to foreign students. I want a party that acts for, not against, British interests.

"We diversified our supplies to trusted partners signing new partnerships. And we invested in renewables and nuclear at unprecedented speed. Today, half of our electricity comes from renewables. And if you look at the low carbon energy, nuclear and renewable it is 74%"

Some thoughts on the new government's Environmental Improvement Plan, which deserved more attention, is broadly impressive, and yet faces significant challenges, some of which are of the government's own making. www.businessgreen.com/blog-post/45...

ZipCar to end UK operations. A shame, although I haven't used them (or similar Enterprise/City Car Club) for many years. Mainly since they brought in large annual fees. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I must have missed the wall-to-wall coverage of demands for an investigation into Nigel Farage's lies about being a racist Or about whether he knew Nathan Gill Or about who bought his house in Frinton

I grew up in a smallish town, with a 12-minute daytime frequency on the bus ride into the big town. The buses were full of people commuting. When they stopped at the hospital, half the bus would get off, on their way to work. Now it's hourly, and everyone needs parking spaces. 🤦‍♂️

This is another casualty of the batshit comms in number 10 that is terrified of bad headlines and bad polling from a War on Cars story. Guess what? The papers hate you and everyone else hates you and now we hate you too. Great comms planning.

The forever dichotomy of humanity, completely awful on one very large hand, and then, we get together and do something amazing like this.

Have you ever seen a bike lane sweeper - pulled behind a bike? Volunteers in Kirkland have a new tool that attaches to the back of an e-bike. It's good for protected bike lanes, sidewalks, and narrow trails. My @kuow.org story: www.kuow.org/stories/clea...

In London Town on family business today. Nobody stole my watch. Nobody tried to stab me. Everyone I met was polite. My Tube carriages weren’t graffitied. Great city; great people. Maybe people should stop listening to suburban London doomers posting for X money from degenerate Musk?

Less mentioned, on fuel duty “(in 2026)… the five pence cut first brought in back in 2022 will be reversed in a “staggered approach”. From April 2027, fuel duty will be increased in line with the Retail Prices Index (RPI).“ So fuel prices will increase two years before EV mileage taxes happens.

Going to stick my neck out and say every one of wealthy, privileged kids at that school was racist, as we would see it, at that time. Thats the era. For Farage to still stand out to his classmates as noteworthy in this regard implies he was quite an extraordinary example.

A proper Labour politician.

The BBC censoring criticism of Trump from one of their Reith Lectures is seriously worrying. The Liberal Democrats have written to the BBC Director General Tim Davie urging him to stand firm against Trump’s bullying and broadcast the lecture in full.

It was raining, so I was very excited travelling to Newbury Park Underground station. Outside the entrance is a Grade II listed bus shelter, designed by Oliver Hill in 1937 but built after the war I knew a puddle shot would look good here, so I took a shot as the 66 bus arrived

And this is spot on. No other political figure or party gets so little scrutiny. And it’s not like there isn’t a track record… Corruption, Russia-links, Trump-christofascist-links, Brexit, racism, total incompetence in Reform-run councils… A dangerous clowncar revving up to drive us into the wall.

This is a clown-car government elected on a seriousness ticket iandunt.substack.com/p/a-clown-go...

@adamdkharrison.bsky.social how about the PM's own council and constituency leading the way with ditching the toxic X?

Nice for the DLR and East London, but what about the rest of the country? "We were extremely disappointed when the current Government unexpectedly choose to cancel the fund, despite it being the only… fund available to reopening lost lines and stations." bettertransport.org.uk/campaigns/re...

“They went for pensioners, they went for the disabled, and now they’re going for people fleeing war and conflict. I am furious — this government should hang their heads in shame.” Zack Polanski on Labour’s new immigration reforms on Newsnight.

Why have so many good women been evicted from positions of power in the Labour Party (Sue Gray, Louise Haigh, Angela Rayner)? I'm not normally into conspiracy theories, but maybe this time? Morgan McSweeney as common factor? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
