Last year, Govt won a £122m judgment against Douglas Barrowman and Michelle Mone's company PPE Medpro, for supplying defective PPE The company had been emptied of cash and collapsed Now its liquidators are suing Barrowman, Mone and associated companies personally Short 🧵

It tells you everything you need to know about Kemi Badneoch and Nigel Farage that as London schools, hospitals and transport networks all buckle under extreme record-breaking temperatures, they gather with fossil fuel lobbyists, climate deniers and the far-right to demand an end to Net Zero

Badenoch saying “he’s not here, is he?” about Miliband when his mother recently died is a bit classless, is it not? #PMQs

Keir Starmer to Kemi Badenoch during PMQs: "Can I also say to her, in Gorton and Denton, the Tories got 1.9% of the vote. "Can I congratulate her? Because in Makerfield, they got 2.2% of the vote. Just edging past Count Binface."

I cannot adequately express just how much I despise Kemi Badenoch. I know politicians who fail to read a room and get their tone wrong. I have never come across one with such an unerring ability to adopt the least appropriate stance on every single occasion. She is a twitter troll made flesh. #PMQs

Nigel Farage is in real trouble and he knows it. He was rattled on his interviews today. If it can be proven his £5 million bung was related to political influence, he could ultimately face criminal bribery and corruption charges, which carry up to 10 years in prison.

“Britain is only going to move on when it starts realising it’s one little cog in a whole load of cogs that make up the EU, that make up global geopolitics, and the UK on its own, not being a cog anywhere, is really unwise” “Independence Day” How bloody stupid. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Absolutely No One Should Go Without Food…. “Food isn’t a human right.” Holy crap, then why did we even bother developing agriculture and civilization? Are we really making enough food for everyone just to let some people starve?”

NEWS: In a stunning upset, Mamdani-backed Darializa Avila Chevalier will defeat five-term incumbent Adriano Espaillat in the NY-13 congressional primary. With victories by Lander, Valdez, and now Avila Chevalier, Mamdani went 3-for-3 with his endorsements in New York City's Democratic primaries.

He used our tax dollars to pay for it. He ruined it. Now we’re being treated like trespassers.

101 former judges have asked New York disciplinary authorities to investigate Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, alleging ethics violations tied to his conduct at DOJ. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

"Apparently Nigel Farage is Britain's most endangered politician. A surprise to the families of Jo Cox and Sir David Amess. Still, having a milkshake lobbed in your direction must be terrifying. Good thing there's a £5 million crypto bung available for security purposes." via Truth Against Hate

Albanians refuse to back down, so proud of them. 👊

Please remove this idiot from office.

There were those who doubted us, but a new independent report shows major reductions in air pollution in our city are linked to an estimated 40% fewer annual premature deaths.

Reminder of Great British Patriot!! Nigel Farage, laughing his socks off as the pound crashed on the night of the EU Ref 10 years ago Making the rest of us poorer

Here's Palantir's UK supremo Louis Mosley, grandson of the fascist Oswald Mosley, trolling the libs by wearing a black shirt. Again. Believe them when they tell you.

10 years ago, after narrowly winning the referendum, Boris Johnson confessed, "We didn't have a plan for what to do next" "We didn't think it was our job to have a plan" 10 years later, Brexit continues to be a disaster

Prior to Brexit there were no small boat crossings to the UK. Not one. The Farage Boats are there in large part because of leave.

Farage claims the BBC are putting him "in danger" by pursuing his £5M crypto bribe. They must have done something really reckless, then, like calling for "cold, hard rage" from the public in response to it.

And it just so happens that DOJ dropped the charges against Adani a few months later.

While Trump Smears Shit, All Over Our Democracy.......

You waited for it…… 😂

#DataCenters You know what to do.

NEW: Iran is publicly calling out Donald Trump and JD Vance for LYING, directly contradicting key claims the Trump regime has made about the U.S.-Iran agreement. 1/

Get Your Facts Straight, Erikkka...

You know it's getting bad for Farage when even his cheerleaders are giving him grief

Anytime any respectable journalist mentions our two chief negotiators with Iran, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, they should note both receive sizeable paychecks from Middle Eastern nations with deep equities in these talks. It is a fundamental corruption.

💯% this

When Trump's vanity projects go haywire, he manages to look incompetent and vain at the same time. His excuses for the Reflecting Pool disaster, including blaming "vandals" for his own failures, are nothing more than lies and conspiratorial nonsense.

Our newest little arrival. He'd been abandoned and left to fend for himself. You can see at the end what safety finally means to him. Pure exhaustion The road to recovery starts here

The atmosphere at the Los Angeles stadium was electric when Iran played in front of a passionate crowd. Fans across the stadium cheered loudly for Iran, creating a strong show of support and making it feel like a home game for the team.

I’m old enough to remember that Obama didn’t have to give Iran $330bn in unfrozen assets, lifted sanctions, and a wealth fund in order to get them to agree to nuclear inspectors.

Well done; Mother Nature! God-tier trolling.

The UK should just be like f*ck it and make Larry the Cat the Prime Minister

AMAZING: Protesters are now tearing down barricades at a beach in southern Albania, saying that the land belongs to the people and not to oligarchs like Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. Share everywhere to show your support! substack.com/@rawstory/no...

There’s a lot to unpack with the Iran negotiations, but here are the big takeaways: Kushner is there to work out the best deal for his own business interests, not the best deal for the U.S. “He is a fundamentally corrupted actor in these negotiations.” - Chris Murphy 1/2

Stunning Brexit anniversary piece by the wife of Dominic Cummings, whose Vote Leave campaign was found to have unlawfully spent 100s of thousands of pounds on billions of online impressions in the last days of the EU ref (Laura Kuenssberg described this as ‘rule breaking)

AIPAC knows - among other things - that in order to stop arming Israel, Congress would need to repeal the law that requires the US to ensure Israel has a Qualitative Military Edge (QME) over other countries in the region. So it funds candidates that won't repeal that law (22 U.S.C. § 2776).

Pure, cold rage from Nigel Farage incoming, along with riots, brick throwing, and bin burning. Any moment now…yup, definitely any moment… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The airmass across the UK this week is nothing short of astonishing. The 20°C isotherm used to rarely pop onto southern England, this week it could extend as far as southern Scotland. This isn’t normal. The all time June record will be beaten by almost 4°C.

My problem with Burnham is the way he and Simons ditched their electorate and engineered the by-election. He made his choice in 2024 he should honour that commitment. Says it all about him that he'll walk away if it furthers his career.
