This is exactly why left-wing candidates will win in November. Republicans are a lunatic warmongering death cult, protecting paedophiles and actively destroying the US. They have no response to a politics of improving people's material conditions, other than reheated Mccarthyist hysteria.

Billionaires are getting the pro quo for their quid.

Why is the UK government – which doesn't have a nationalised automobile industry – running online ads for electric cars, rather than buses or cycling? Well, it's probably an olive branch to the motor industry that exerts such inordinate influence over it. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Global boom in livestock farming since 2006 is piling pressure on nature, report finds

Could there be a more shameless grift than an MP pocketing almost 3 times his MP's salary to promote gold bullion? Next week, it'll be revealed that he's selling fraudulent timeshares.

Anything to say about this, Andy? Still planning to continue Mahmoud's disgusting immigration policies?

This is a Refugee Tax. It was originally proposed by the Tories, and the only reason asylum seekers could be claimed to 'owe' any money is because they are banned from working. Another cruel Labour policy - that must be reversed on day one by Andy Burnham. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Some tangible ambition on devolution, but in other areas vague and non-committal. Burnham is not an answer to Britain's problems.

Goldsmid (Brighton & Hove) Council By-Election Result: 🌍 GRN: 49.0% (+22.4) 🌹 LAB: 32.7% (-14.6) ➡️ RFM: 7.3% (New) 🔶 LDM: 5.2% (-1.7) 🌳 CON: 5.1% (-4.6) 🧑‍🔧 TUSC: 0.7% (New) No BHI (-9.5) as previous. Green GAIN from Labour. Changes w/ 2023.

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

Greasy Gavin has tried to position himself as progressive ahead of his inevitable 2028 presidential run, but by opposing a wealth tax on billionaires, he has failed even the most rudimentary test. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

How come Left-wing Twitch streamers are banned from the country because opposing genocide is apparently 'not conducive to the public good,' but these cranks are allowed to descend on London to spread far-right misinformation and climate denial at a cushy conference?

The reflecting pool is a pointless waste of space. Instead of awarding more no-bid contracts to Trump's crooked business associates to repaint and filter a giant swimming pool that nobody's allowed to swim in, rip it out and turn it into a wildlife pond. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Spare me this "Keir Starmer is a decent man who fell victim to events" bullshit: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is like if Thai media reported on the 2004 tsunami with photos of people on surfboards. Fucking disgusting, @the-independent.com.

While ministers are demanding ever more public spending on tanks and bombs, this is the real national security threat. Where is the money for nationwide home insulation, the regulations mandating Passivhaus standards for new homes? Where's the legislation on maximum working/commuting temperatures?

Oh, for the good old days of the 2022 heatwave. sussexbylines.co.uk/news/environ...

My God, what a scumbag.

The problem now is that the more Burnham talks, the less impressed people are.

I'd prefer Miliband to stay in post as Energy and Net Zero Secretary, precisely because of his unparalleled commitment to this issue among Labour MPs. But this is a monumentally stupid take from Sharon Graham. Net zero isn't a threat to jobs – climate breakdown is. www.thetimes.com/business/eco...

With the departure of Boris Johnson from Downing Street, Keir Starmer took up the mantle of the most dishonest person in front-line British politics, beginning with the giant fraud that was his leadership campaign. 🧵 1/6 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Fuck.

Anti-racism guidance doesn't undermine police impartiality. The whole point is that it INCREASES impartiality from organisations with a long history of institutional racism. This guy is tone deaf and fundamentally unqualified to lead a police force, let alone to succeed Rowley as Met Commissioner.

Yes. If you're a bigot who wants to divide communities, a billionaire wanting to preserve your wealth or a "newspaper" that wants to preserve power: we're very sinister indeed. To everyone else: feels a lot like hope. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Who gives a fuck how the nation of genocidal psychopaths feels about a peace deal? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

It's likely that many of the people performatively outraged about the imaginary Dartmoor pony cull are also outraged that the badger cull is ending. They don't give a shit about wildlife, but if Natural England suggests reducing livestock grazing, the apoplectic conspiracy theories start flowing.

If they were going to contest this election, the @greenparty.org.uk should have been nipping at Burnham's heels, putting pressure on him from the left – not languishing in an irrelevant 5th behind the Tories and Rupert Lowe's fascist cranks. In future, fight properly. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I did think about writing something on this, but couldn't face trying to contest such a tsunami of horseshit. It's definitely a prime example of Brandolini's Law, so I'm glad to see somebody having a go.

This right wing conspiracy theory has become so pervasive in such a short space of time, it beggars belief. Apparently, the Dartmoor ponies have now been saves from the cull that was, er, never going to happen. www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

I'm not sure how much authority Barnier has as a spokesman for the EU these days, but this is definitely noteworthy. Not that I think rejoining will, or should, be a priority in the immediate term.

Turns out that this obvious nothingburger of a story was exactly that.

It's a shame that this superb tree has succumbed to climate stress. It likely made things worse that well-intentioned but ecologically illiterate people arrogantly assumed that the tree had to be propped up and reinforced like a derelict building, instead of being allowed to deteriorate naturally.

Notwithstanding the slurry of misinformation and far right conspiracy theories being spread in the media about 'mass culling' of ponies on Dartmoor – apparently completely made up by Kemi Badenoch – livestock numbers should be reduced there. sussexbylines.co.uk/news/environ...

Absolutely absurd, through the looking glass type bureaucratic idiocy. The Environment Agency is investigating a local volunteer group for doing its job for it, instead of investigating environmental crimes. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Good to see some real journalism on GMB, as opposed to Ed Balls giving his wife a tongue bath.

By his own account, he's also chummy with Farage. Blue Labour exists solely to whitewash the far right.

A good watch, lifting the lid on the hysteria surrounding ring-necked parakeets. The biggest problems these birds actually cause are noise disturbance (they almost drown out the native British traffic) and eating the apples from people's garden trees. The horror.

The UFC event on the White House lawn was, in many ways, the most stereotypically American thing ever. An utterly classless orgy of corruption. 'Despite being a pathological liar, Trump is the most honest face of US capitalism we've possibly ever seen'. sussexbylines.co.uk/politics/don...

The Great Dartmoor Pony Cull Conspiracy of 2026 is such horseshit. Nobody is proposing a cull, FFS! Currently being whipped up on Musk's hellsite by the Leader of the Opposition, who clearly has nothing better to do. Reality: www.dartmoornature.org.uk/post/ponies-...

Oh the irony. “the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is .... the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; .... who constantly says: 'I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action'” Martin Luther King

How long before Israel destroys this deal? Will it even survive until the signing ceremony? And will Washington actually punish Israel this time?

Foreign nationals are not the reason for the housing crisis. That's because Farage's idol Margaret Thatcher sold most social housing, successive governments have failed to build more, and property developers like Richard Tice hoard land as a speculative asset. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
