if Harbourne wasn’t registered to vote in the UK at the time he gave Farage £5 million in early 2024, then he would not have been a permissible donor. The law requires that individuals donating directly to UK political parties must be registered to vote in the UK, including as an overseas voter.

Bobbing up and down in the water was what looked like a magnetic mine. I threw stones at it and hit it once. Nothing happened.

By far my favourite bit of architectural ironwork in Glasgow, and possibly anywhere in the world! It can be found on D.B. Dobson's 1902 Art Nouveau commercial building at 50 Darnley Street in Glasgow. #glasgow #ironwork #dragon #architecture #glasgowbuildings #pollokshields

“We have crushed the British to the ground. They are on their knees, and they will not rise for a very long time” - Alexander Yakovenko / Ambassador of Russia to the UK during Brexit. Do these ‘unite the kingdom’ idiots parading around today have any idea that Putin is cheering them on?

WOW! "Britain's future lies with Europe - and one day, back in the European Union." Former health secretary Wes Streeting says the UK needs a new special relationship with Europe, as he calls Brexit a 'catastrophic mistake'👏

We've had an idea for some fun Thursday afternoon activity. Give us a year from 1357 to 1957 and we will give you a name of a Merchant Adventurer who joined the Company that year. For example in 1665 Suckling Spendlove became a member. Yes you heard right. 😆

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Frustrated with the election pundits talking as if votes only 'swing' from one party to another. I did some analysis of the results, and my modelling (based on votes only, not polls) suggests that the largest movement since 2024 local elections (by a long way) is from 'Did Not Vote' -> Reform

The one thing that would reset the whole political debate would be if Keir Starmer announced on Monday that he wanted to rejoin the EU. Reform would have a field day, but he would unite the left and make politics a binary choice between the two.

Important data point here: “A sharp fall in Labour's performance is accompanied more often by an above average Green performance than it is by a strong Reform performance”. The Greens have already hurt Labour even before any direct gains.

A please @labouruk.bsky.social, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.

My god. What have we done.

I'm aware the Rejoin lobby is becoming more vocal. I'd just suggest that the British – the English in particular – first need to truly and *culturally* value rules that stretch across international borders and to see them as 'in the national interest', not as something we grudgingly suffer.

Wow 🤩 The Weather Channel posted this.

Well this will have the Brexit folk frothing. But it reflects their failure, indeed the failure of pretty much the whole UK political class to understand the world and the realistic options available - which don't include vast regulatory or trade gains from sovereignty.

@reecedinsdale.bsky.social Good morning Reece. Here is a timely reminder for all -

“On Tuesday, the Energy Secretary gave a speech with one overriding message: “Every solar panel we put up, every wind turbine we build, every heat pump we install, every EV on the road makes our country more secure.”

Lots of "commentators" are rewarded for spreading lies and convincing you that everything is getting worse and you should be afraid.
