Palestine Action have WON their judicial review in the High Court! A massive victory for free speech, freedom of association and the right to protest. A massive defeat for the draconian attempts by Keir Starmer's government to curtail our fundamental rights.

There is a lot of convenient amnesia about Peter Mandelson’s New Labour days. Let’s jog some memories | George Monbiot

This is great as a starting point, but is actually a tiny area of land. The fact that it's now the largest project in Wales merely emphasises how poor an ecological state the place is in. Hopefully there's room for this to grow. nation.cymru/news/charity...

Such spineless cucks.

It's good that this has proven successful, and that EDF is going ahead with it.

Starmer is possibly the most dishonest, amoral Prime Minister we've had in my lifetime – and that's competing with Boris Johnson. A genocide enabling, austerity continuing, nature hating freak with a face made of bread dough and the personality of soggy weetabix. He can't resign soon enough.

Nobody cares what this haunted turtle has to say. Starmer should resign.

Incidentally, I've never seen a single clip of this creep in which he isn't clearly coked to the gills. Not that that excuses being a genocidal psychopath. Get Palantir out of the British state. sussexbylines.co.uk/politics/dem...

So @telegraph.co.uk, Britain's leading purveyor of hysterical biophobic wank, is already cranking up the panic meter over the mere suggestion that we might in the future reintroduce... pelicans. Yes, apparently this week's source of terror is pelicans. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/02...

Great. Now for lynx at the Scottish border. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Here I present an overview of Palantir's sinister grip over Britain's public institutions, including the NHS and the MoD. I'd also recommend the recent investigations by @thenerve.news. @zackpolanski.bsky.social @carolecadwalla.bsky.social sussexbylines.co.uk/politics/dem...

Spare us a preachy documentary uncritically praising the environmentalism of an aristocrat who lives in a palace, travels by helicopter and helps sell arms to Gulf dictatorships – paid for by a billionaire who flew his girlfriend into space with Katy Perry. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

It is weird that we normalized keeping caged wild animals in our living rooms www.vox.com/the-highligh...

At this point, it has to be asked why excellent MPs like Clive Lewis, Nadia Whittome and Bell Ribeiro-Addy are still in The Labour Party.

The Govt’s own assessment warns that climate change & biodiversity loss threaten long-term food security & worsen natural disasters. I’m pressing for a debate on the Joint Intelligence Assessment so Parliament can scrutinise this important report.

This guy is Labour's equivalent to Chris Philp: bland, soulless junior minister desperately ambitious enough that he's willing to do the media rounds taking flak for the absolutely indefensible actions of the government.

Are we no longer independent of the US security state? | Ross McNally

There is some debate over whether this is necessary, given that a large wetland bird could theoretically recolonise Britain naturally. But I see no issue with aiding that process through reintroductions, provided sufficient habitat is available – currently unlikely. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Er, you're literally standing behind a bar as part of your campaign to slash taxes for alcohol manufacturers. Have some self-awareness before you try to scoff at someone suggesting an end to the war on drugs.

In this week's column I seek to explain Keir Starmer's flat refusal to change our electoral system, even though its gross unfairness could put Reform UK in power on <30% of the vote. The reasons, I believe, are deeply cynical and disturbing. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Those is a good illustration of the shallowness of Reform's populist masquerade. Cut tax for beer manufacturers with the flimsy excuse that the 5p a pint savings will be passed to customers, and pay for it by throwing 300,000 children back into poverty. I know where Farage can stick his 5p.

Why does this cynical, amoral bully think he can instruct real artists how to use – or not use – their public platform? Gervais may be indifferent to fascism (after all, Hitler liked dogs), but that doesn't mean everyone else must be. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

I understand some arguments in favour of doing this, but judging by this letter, it obviously wouldn't be a sincere debate in good faith. Yusuf's tactics would be to bury Polanski in so much misleading bullshit that he'd get lost trying to refute it all. I wouldn't give this weasel the time of day.

With Reform having parachuted Matt Goodwin as its candidate in Gorton and Denton, it seems like a good time to remind ourselves of the time when Aaron Bastani casually dismantled the entire basis of Goodwin's faux populist grift over the course of an hour and a half. youtu.be/kke3EgZtd8U?...

"It is quite extraordinary for a serving government minister to advise a foreign bank to threaten the chancellor in order to reduce its UK tax bill.” Surely Lord Mandelson cannot retain the Labour whip? www.ft.com/content/91e8...

NEW: What’s happening in the US is TECHNOFASCISM. It’s fascism + surveillance technologies. Palantir is playing a central role. And the UK is next in line. My latest for @thenerve.news 1/ www.thenerve.news/p/technofasc...

Dale Vince and @ecotricity.bsky.social are lying about heat pumps again, in order to drum up support for their ecologically bonkers 'gas from grass' plan. www.carbonbrief.org/factcheck-wh... sussexbylines.co.uk/news/environ...

In the latest part of its Epstein files rollout, the Justice Department released a long list of sexual abuse allegations against Donald Trump. Then it temporarily retracted it. trib.al/aMXhGwQ

My comment to the misleading Ecotricity report post almost got more likes than their post - let’s at least match theirs. www.linkedin.com/posts/ecotri...

Trump is 'a symptom. He merely exposes, in gaudy neon lights, the inadequacies of a system that allowed him to take power and keep it.' Americans must amend these flaws in their political system. Only by doing so can they prevent another Trump. sussexbylines.co.uk/politics/dem...

When people try to claim that only Labour can beat Reform, it's bullshit. In reality, @greenparty.org.uk are polling pretty much level with Labour. Plus, the Greens are trying to beat Reform by offering an opposing vision rather than by pandering to them. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Fundamental reforms must be enacted within the US political system | Ross McNally

Also, if Labour are actually worried about this, there's an easy solution: pass PR with transferable voting. More effective than simply scolding voters to shut up and fall in line.

No environmentalist worth their salt would touch Reform with a barge pole, and yet I'm not surprised by this. Goldsmith is a staunch zionist and racist, so he'll help greenwash the image of a climate denying fascist party. There's no environmental justice without social and economic justice.

This should definitely be done if the Lords continue to run down the clock. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Bizarrely, @dalevince.com is a highly dangerous anti-renewable voice. His misinformation on heat pumps (“a lifestyle choice” 🤡) is fuel for the climate deniers. OFC it has nothing to do with his ecologically disastrous “green gas” scheme. How about that debate with @georgemonbiot.bsky.social ?

NEW: Our investigation for @thenerve_news reveals not only that Peter Thiel’s Palantir is completely enmeshed in our critical national infrastructure. It’s also the ‘cloud support’ for our nuclear weapons system 🤯 1/ www.thenerve.news/p/palantir-t...

Labour isn't concerned about undisguised racism, climate denial and corruption from a party that can't even find the constituency on a map. Labour is more worried that @greenparty.org.uk might offer people a glimmer of hope. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

This week's column is about something that's arguably more important than anything in the news, crucial as some of the other issues are. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Big thanks to Reform for helping us keep out Reform in Gorton & Denton.

How can anybody be this delusional? You can't just scapegoat Braverman for the collapse of the Tories, and nobody wants to return to the era of George Osborne – except for the Labour leadership. Badenoch certainly has no interest in being anything but a culture war lunatic.

I wish the world was more like the deranged fantasies of Fox News.

'On the brink' of authoritarianism? I think that line was crossed a while ago. I get the feeling that when American journalists and Democrat politicians are in concentration camps, they'll still be warning that the US is 'heading towards' authoritarianism. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So Reform wants to... what? Geoengineer a new ice age? These weirdos have such online brainworms.

You mean to say that the fascist regime is lying about someone its gestapo thugs just murdered? That feels somehow familiar.

There should be thousands of wolves in Finland, but the current population is only about 450. Stop whining about recovering wildlife.
