We're in intertwined climate and nature crises that are affecting the world's poorest communities the hardest. The #CANBill can deliver the bold, science-led legislation we need. zerohour.uk @zero-hour.bsky.social

Thank God we're not polarised today folks. I know floods are bad, but polarisation would be very uncomfortable. #spéirgorm

Happy 95th anniversary of the birth of Les Dawson to all who celebrate (and if you don’t, you should be asking yourself some serious questions)

Absolutely scandalous that government is entertaining this Thames Water creditors offer a debt "haircut" of 30% But SPECIAL ADMINISTRATION is a far better deal = - Slash the debt by *40-55%* - Stop Thames Water's plans to *pollute ILLEGALLY until 2040* news.sky.com/story/thames...

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

A reminder that Reform's candidate for Gorton and Denton, Matt Goodwin, has still not explained what he meant by this claim that developments in genetic science will make younger generations more right wing as they understand the "inherent differences" between different groups

UK Politics 90 per cent of Reform supporting comments on social media are bots Exclusive: Analysis of 649 pro-Reform UK comments in 2025 on social media found that 65 were from real people, while the rest were fake bot accounts used to make their support appear higher than it actually is.

The optimist vs pessimist divide in #climate debates isn’t usually about the data. It’s about how the same graphs are read, what people emphasise, what they discount, and how they interpret pace and stakes. Here’s what I mean 🧵👇

Seen on a German post: "One gets the impression that in the US they shoot people to distract from the Epstein files, then release the files to distract from the murders, then arrest a reporter to distract from the files again, and if that doesn’t work, the president just shits himself on camera".

West Midlands Railways comes into public ownership today. That's great news. But it's only part of the journey. There are 4 ways our railways could be made better so they truly deliver what passengers want, not private shareholders. 1/3

I’m sure others have noticed this exchange between Michael Wolff and Epstein about exorbitant price Rybolovlev’ paid to Trump for his the Palm Beach Mansion and suspicious trades with MBS - but how many have twigged that Rybolovlev is part of the current Ukraine negotiating team?

Here’s the full story.. and it stinks. How anyone can think Farage will do anything good for our country when we’re already trapped in the tedious, ruinous Brexit mess he’s made, god only knows. This nasty little gobshite will never fix any problems. He IS the problem.

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...

I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKOW...

This is absolutely shocking. Something has to be done about this appalling situation in which so many now find themselves. The government needs to act

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If I were the liberal equivalent of Alex Jones I’d spend months discussing how Trumps immediate statement after the attack on Ilan Omar was to discuss how someone might fake an assassination attempt to elicit sympathy.

Brits: you are nowhere near frightened enough of what's happening in the US right now and what UK politicians are promising with the help of Palantir and friends. From @ markmcposts on IG.

Birmingham bike ride in memory of Alex Pretti, murdered by ICE agents in Minnesota. His local bike shop, Angry Catfish, has called for people to ride together on Saturday to remember him. Meet Victoria Square at 1pm Saturday for 1:30pm start

Surprise! Britain's most popular newspaper fervently believes that ICE are the good guys. By an extraordinary coincidence, the same newspaper supported the Nazis in the 1930s.

Imagine watching the president declare an entire African community unworthy of the American dream, while readily granting asylum to only white South Africans, and still believing this is about solving our immigration issues.

Dear voter, sick of the other parties and tempted by Reform UK? Don’t be daft. Don’t do it. They’re not your friends. Unless you are already rich, this report proves that they will only make your life and your family’s lives worse talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/01/28/d...

There has been much discussion, both here and around the world, of the possibility of a flight from the dollar. This has always been a serious risk since Donald Trump took office, but the risk increased enormously from his deranged rant in Davos last week.

Tell me again how this BBC editorialising is just my cognitive bias... This isn't a quote from anywhere. It's just the BBC's description of this disgraced, divisive politician.

Put community repair shops on every high street. Our work shows people love it, increases community interaction & helps people keep essential goods going for longer giving them more money to spend on food & utility bills It reduces waste and so reduces local authority costs. It is a win, win, win.

WHY is this government content to leave private renters stuck in homes not fit for habitation for another DECADE? The state of private rented homes is appalling. Renters deserve better than this disappointment from Labour. www.theguardian.com/money/2026/j...

The people of Gorton & Denton deserve much better than an opportunist extremist using their community as a platform for his own career. HOPE not hate will be actively campaigning to make sure Matthew Goodwin does not get elected.
