This innovative Dutch farm grows food with minimal water, no soil and zero pesticides. This is where I find hope. In solutions being implemented all over the world. Let's speed it up. #ActOnClimate #climatesolutions #climate #energy #farming #GreenNewDeal #nature #hope

This is the insanity of the current Labour approach. You are kneecapping the economy by slashing immigration to appease voters who hover between Tory and Reform, and yet they don’t even believe your numbers anyway…plus you’ve just alienated your actual supporters

If a new app was produced which had, as its core features, the generation of sexual deep fake images of children and calls for a violent global far-right revolution, then not only would it be swiftly banned, but you wouldn't have a single mainstream politician willing to associate themselves with it

Good news Canterbury! Your lovely Reform council are scrapping your historic Georgian street lights.

What you’re seeing in Minneapolis is what Nigel Farage wants to do in Britain.

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

A reminder that Kemi Badenoch wants to create a UK “Removals Force” explicitly modelled on ICE

I noticed yesterday in my mum’s “daily hate”, that there were full double-page spreads getting her to hate Syrian men, and the British justice system, but absolutely nothing about the gross, indecent and dangerous presence that is X/Grok

Here we go again. Trump has told the UK that if we want a UK-US tech deal, we need to buy chlorinated chicken from the US! 🤢🐔 How dare he try and impose poor food standards in Britain. Sign the petition to keep chlorine-washed chicken off our shelves: 38d.gs/cc-df

The BBC has been banned from using the word Kidnap to describe the Kidnapping of Maduro. No doubt when Greenland is invaded they will be banned from using the word invasion.

Yup - we have a massive issue incoming, and this year’s tipping point will be decisive.

Your fact of the day: The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one in six American citizens suffers a food-borne illness annually. In the UK, the figure is one in 132. bylinetimes.com/2020/02/28/f...

If Trump gets his way you'd have substandard chicken in the UK food chain but it would also be much cheaper so UK poultry farms - which are built and regulated to those much higher standards - would be royally screwed. It would benefit nobody apart from US farmers.

US chicken is chlorinated because America has no animal welfare laws where poultry is concerned. It has to be chlorinated because Salmonella and e. coli run rife The EU banned that practice in 1997 and as such the UK has among the highest welfare and standards in the world. 1/2

One picture, describes it all.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Their Social Media presence is as fake as the polls about their support.

Tax breaks for foreign millionaires but mass deportations for the rest. Huge austerity and NHS cuts, replacing NHS with insurance model, scrapping NetZero, workers’ rights and online safety act. And a trade war with the EU. Reform: Corrupt. Ruinous. Racist. Moronic. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

The story of Europe’s economic decline while US is 'soaring' is everywhere. But it is wrong. It is a myth. Europe delivers more leisure, longer life expectancy, less inequality than the US. Gabriel Zucman dismantles the myths.

Tesco makes nearly £4bn profit. Nearly 50% of its workforce are on Universal Credit, receiving about £600m a year. Why isn't Tesco paying?

The 51st state. Trump demands that the UK allows American chlorinated chicken and hormone-treated meat into its supermarkets. UK already agreed to pay more for US drugs, reduced tax on private equity managers, considering cutting tax on tech companies. 'Tacking back control', someone said.

The best way to defeat Reform is for millions of people to hear a version of this message: "Farage's Brexit made you poorer. Don't let him do it again"

🤑Thames Water creditors are haggling with Ofwat. 💩They want permission to pollute our waters until 2040. 😡But we've had a year of reasons why Ofwat should just say NO. Take 2 minutes to email Ofwat and tell them to reject the outrageous deal. #OFWATsayNO vist.ly/4jdfb

Donald Trump is suing the BBC for defamation, accusing the broadcaster of splicing his January 6 speech in a Panorama documentary to make it look like he incited violence, writes Amelia Jenne. Read our latest newsletter:

The BBC is not just any other institution. It's a core part of this country's identity. It's ours to criticise, ours to get cross with, ours to love and ours to the end. By attacking it Trump may actually be doing us all a favour as we are obliged to remember that. www.politico.eu/article/brit...

Really???

Careful what you read in the Sunday papers or whilst you are out for a festive pint. In the most recent Mythbusting blog, I took a look at how pseudo-history may be used to part you from your hard earned cash... triskeleheritage.triskelepublishing.com/2025/09/07/m...

The free tours at the National Portrait Gallery are *so* good Went today on tour of women in the gallery, including this stunning portrait of Ada Lovelace (Charles Babbage on the right)

NEW: Five years of social media history is only a fraction of what the US Government will shortly demand of overseas visitors. The full requirements will end tourism in the United States. Below is the full, mind-blowing list. 🚨THEY. WANT. YOUR. DNA.🚨 1/

I can’t think of a better symbol of Reform’s ambitions for Britain than a sideways flag hanging forlornly over a blocked drain. From the people who brought you ‘sunlit uplands’. No thanks.

🚨🚨This is worse than we could have imagined: Full version of #Trump's national #securitystrategy reportedly calls for “pulling Poland away from #EU”. 🧵 notesfrompoland.com/2025/12/10/f...

Russia sends stolen Ukrainian children to North Korea to become militarized.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes? That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

(Yes, invoke section 4 of the fifth amendment, America)

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Dear Labour - You need to do far more for the poor, the left behind, the ordinary people in order to stop this nightmare. If you don’t and Reform get it you will never be forgiven and I believe that Labour will never be in government again.

Absolutely this 👇👇👇
