Tech billionaires are getting richer while we pay the price for the real-world harm their platforms cause. The "neutral host" loophole lets them off the hook for pushing dangerous content. MPs are demanding emergency laws to make them pay. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

For the third by-election in a row Reform UK offered voters the politics of rage and for the third time in a row they have been roundly rejected as a result. How Andy Burnham's massive victory in Makerfield shows the wheels are now coming off of the Nigel Farage project

Trump claimed the reflecting pool renovation would cost $1.8M, but it cost almost $15M in a no-bid contract, and it was immediately overrun with toxic algae blooms. It's like the universe is literally yelling at us. [Images: REUTERS/Ken Cedeno, REUTERS/Jessica Koscielniak, REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst]

Josh Hokit just ended his post-fight speech at the White House UFC event by yelling "Michelle Obama is a man!" A disgraceful spectacle through and through

The richest man in the world did this, not for any reason, just for the fun of it.

Hey, remember when those of us following and reporting on the Reflecting Pool story told trogs like Libs of Tik Tok that Trump spent $20 million on a kickback-riddled no-bid contract with an unqualified pal that would do *nothing* to fix the algae issue? We were right. *Again*.

“The pure air of sovereignty” Allowing foreign-based billionaires to whip up racist riots on our streets and fund fascism in our politics. Peachy. Thanks again Brexit. And every single complicit politician and media ‘patriot’. app.independent.co.uk/2026/06/13/2...

"Lest you think the applications are limited to insufferably 'woke' climate-change-related purposes, the instruments have lots of other useful functions." That's not enough to stop their defunding. The latest edition of Receipts from @crampell.bsky.social:

THAT WAS THE POINT OF HIM SAYING IT, IDIOTS

Every Reuters US market story is like "stocks plunged sharply downward on news that Trump has started four more wars, the plague of the living dead claimed another three cities, and Death himself has been spotted walking the land to reap our souls, before rallying to close up 0.2% for the day."

In short: never interrupt the president who has granted you the privilege of an interview, ignore his lies and BS, and behave respectfully—don’t dare to be even slightly critical. That seems a bit like the North Korean style, doesn't it?

Farage has taken over £80,000 from the US anti-abortion lobby

Farage is happy to be given money by American anti-abortion groups and christofascists. And it won’t be for nothing in return. It never is. Reform is making deals with authoritarian misogynists behind our backs. Farage’s greed will trump our rights every time. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/444...

Israel, who never cause any trouble, and Iran, who had their entire military destroyed a month ago, should stop shooting at each other, or Trump will redefine "ceasefire" until he persuades himself they have.

I first encountered Mogg when he was about 23 at a weird lunch in Notting Hill. He was so strange and his opinions so out of kilter and his confidence level so high that when he became an MP some years later I genuinely feared for my country. And frankly I was right.

This is actually ridiculously cute

“what was at stake, as these Etonians worked out their schoolboy rivalries, was nothing less than the destiny of the UK. That recklessness…remains unforgivable – and the guilt belongs to Cameron & Osborne almost as much as to Gove and Johnson.” #Brexit is a crime www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

None of these tax dodging, foreign-based crypto billionaires and moneymen give a single shit about our country or democracy. They’re buying Farage power so he’ll remove our rights and protections to maximise their profits. It really is that simple and that corrupt. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Southport murders. Farage ignores victims' parents. Riles up his base. Riots. Henry Nowak murder. Farage ignores victim's parents. Riles up his base. Riots. Murders by white people. Silence. If that's not a pattern of racially motivated incitement to riot, I don't know what is.

Just watch this… And for the love of God, please see Farage for what he is. His response to Sarah Everard Vs his response to Henry Nowak Jaw dropping.

Listen to the people who loved their boy and not the people who want to use it to stir hate.

“The moral of the tale on Brexit is simplicity, and a lack of experts, gets us into a big mess. And that is where we are.” Yes. But with Farage, Tories and rightwing media offering up yet more ruinous bullshit, blocking all routes back to sanity and prosperity. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

23 years after promoting a war on false pretences, Tony Blair wants the UK to join another one. mattcarr.substack.com/p/the-psycho...

The point of these attacks is twofold: 1. Flood people with nonsense until it feels true. 2. Grind people down until they lose hope. We know the answer to that: fight back - with hope & a plan for change. There is absolutely no way they win this. Join.greenparty.org.uk

“Some argue that quitting the platform formerly known as Twitter cedes the space to malign actors. But it’s an open sewer, beyond redemption.” X radicalises our politics, normalises and amplifies the far right and poisons our democracy a bit more every day. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The American-led negotiations in Ukraine prolonged the war by encouraging Putin. The Russians dangled ludicrous business"deals" in front of Witkoff and Kushner who were too gullible to understand that they were being manipulated. Good to hear the US has abandoned this failed policy.

Stephen Miller on Trump's taxpayer-funded insurrectionist slush fund: "This settlement is just a small measure of the justice they are owed"

Politicians endlessly blame immigration for their own failures. So, when immigration is reduced, their ‘success’ isn’t recognised. No one’s life has particularly improved. Because no one’s life was ever going to improve by reducing immigration. Because our problems were never caused by immigration.

REED: How many taxpayers' returns were leaked by the IRS in the 2020 breach? BLANCHE: Excuse me? REED: 405,427. One of them was Donald Trump, correct? BLANCHE: Donald Trump and his family. REED: And Donald Trump was president at the time. So it was his IRS that allowed this breach of privacy
