Senate Majority Leader Thune plans to bring the SAVE America Act up for a vote next week. The measure is expected to fail, but it’s still important to speak up. Please call, message, and reach out to your senators and urge them to vote no.

CMA investigates heating oil suppliers over ‘blatant profiteering’ from Iran war. Profiteering is everywhere - water, energy, social care, vets, banking, dentists, housing .... People pushed into poverty, economy stagnates. Regulators/Govts close profiteers, nationalise essentials, but don't

I've lost friends since confirming that I'm as unprincipled and opportunistic as people suspected and quite happy to pander to racists. Offord makes bid for victim status. Scuse me while I search for my nanometre sized violin with an electron microscope. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

On Elon Musk's firm being approved by Ofgem to supply energy to British homes, Lib Dem leader Ed Davey: "Ed Miliband must step in and bar Tesla from holding an energy licence. "Elon Musk is a threat to our national security...We can’t have the lights go out because he’s having a strop on X.”

Deforestation released the carbon. Afforestation can pull it back. Trees are our most powerful, scalable, natural technology against climate change. We already know how to do it. Now we must do more of it. Urgently.

A glimpse of UK democracy The Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Act 2025 empowers the state to 24/7 snoop on bank accounts of benefit recipients. The poor, old, sick have no financial privacy. The same does not apply to enablers of tax abuse schemes. We are all equal, aren't we?

Adult social care privatised since the 1980s. Local councils spend 70% of budget on it. 83% of social care controlled by private equity, 20%-40% profit margin. Will Govt end profiteering, ensure only not-for-profit entities, including local councils, provide care. Watch the Minister's reply.

It's no longer OK for you to sit in the house of Lords because your dad did. But if your mate put you there? That's fine. Neither of these really feel like democracy to me.

Hounslow has become one of the first councils in the country, and the first borough in West London, to introduce a #RightToGrow policy. Backed by Dowton's Jim Carter, our new policy allows residents to steward unloved public land and grow food and flowers.

Data centres burn huge amounts of power but provide very few jobs. Are we covering the countryside and using up power connections to enable bitcoins to be mined? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I heard the audio. He said it. Lord. What have y'all done.

“You just suggested that Iran got its hands on a U.S. Tomahawk and BOMBED ITS OWN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL on the first day of the war. You are the only person in your government saying this. WHY ARE YOU THE ONLY PERSON SAYING THIS?” PEDOrump’s answer: “Because I just don’t know enough about it.” 😲🙄🤬

📌 ICYMI — Nigel Farage’s Humiliating Iran U-Turn Should Be a Lesson for Keir Starmer By sticking to the correct and popular position on Donald Trump's Iran war, the Prime Minister has now forced his political opponents into an embarrassing reversal, argues Adam Bienkov

What didn't you say again Nige? 'Never once did I say we'd cut council tax'. Yes you did.

In the words of Jon Sopel: "What the actual fuck?" GB News has suggested migration in the UK is a "genocide" of white Brits. Is conspiracy theory the only thing that can get through its guests' "dull, dead synapses"? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/why-...

In case you missed..more documents from the Epstein files were released on Friday 👇

This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

Donnie shits-his-pants: "All of the people who died...and are now walking around with no legs." Noooo... Make it stop!

Qatar Minster of Education Lolwah bint Rashid Al Khater demanded of the US: “…we just need you to leave us alone. To stop igniting wars so that weapons companies can make more money. We need you to Stop Bombing Schools, to stop trafficking and raping little kids.” Via @chadbourn.bsky.social

“Never once did Reform promise to cut council tax” insists an angry Nigel Farage to Sky News. Here's some of the leaflets Reform have been putting out ahead of the local elections

Farage, one of the most duplicitous people alive today. A conman. Five days between these headlines. He’s despicable.

Horticulture Week reports as Hounslow becomes the first borough in West London, and one of the first in the country, to introduce a Right to Grow policy. Now community groups can take over unused land and garden it.

I wonder if this u-turn is being reported as breathlessly by Chris Mason as it would be were it regarding Keir Starmer.

No Ofcom. Water companies should be prevented from raising our water bills full stop. You got it wrong….again! www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Cf last post

“Labour was built on the belief that justice must never belong only to the powerful. Today MPs vote on restricting jury trials. For Labour MPs it’s a test of principle. The poorest & most marginalised depend on juries. Today we’ll see who remembers why they came into politics” Rob Rinder

The Tories oversaw the degradation of UK gas storage capacity - 2010 to 2017. Thatcher privatised the gas and oil industry - 1982 to 1986. Thatcher closed the collieries - 1986 to 1991. This woman is an idiot - 1960 to 2026

Every time I see that a music store or a bookstore cafe has had to close because of the war, it’s genuinely devastating in its own way.

The spring in Ukraine has arrived, but thick layers of ice left over from the brutally cold winter will delay the start of the sowing season by two to four weeks, burdening struggling farmers with extra work amid wartime challenges.

The HSE may class the PFAS used by AGC's factory in Lancashire (EEA-NH4) as a possible carcinogen & reprotoxic substance. @watershed-i.bsky.social previously uncovered they're emitting 800kg per year into the River Wyre and it's in the soil around the plant. www.endsreport.com/article/1950...

This is shocking. Labour lawyers ‘blocked’ from briefing MPs on jury trials overhaul before vote. The Prime Minister is completely out of control on this. MPs must come together and stop him from undermining & restricting a fundamental cornerstone of our democracy www.theguardian.com/law/2026/mar...
