Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal. We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

Hard hitting words from Chris Packham to politicians and leaders at the National Emergency Briefing on climate and nature: "You MUST listen to the science. We didn't just elect you. We've given you our trust. You are about to hear from leading scientists. I beseach you to hear their truth"

Scientists warn of severe climate-related risks to UK economy and security

📍 We’re here at the National Emergency Briefing! 🌍 Experts will discuss the climate and nature emergency and its impacts on everyday life in the UK—from national security, food security, the NHS to the cost of living crisis. 🌿 Now is the time for decision makers to follow the science. #CANBill

This is now the 3rd large scale waste dump which is the result of serious and organised waste crime to be uncovered since the HoL Climate Change & Environment Committee Report was published just one month ago. The EA agues they only previously knew of 6 sites in the UK of this size.

A pleasure to attend the National Emergency Briefing this morning. I agree with Chris Packham Politicians need to take responsibility and provide hope. I am always reminded that every disaster film starts with a politician ignoring the warnings of a scientist.

The Prime Minister just told me any party leader should want to get to the bottom of this Russian bribery scandal with Reform. He is the Prime Minister and a party leader. Why isn't he launching a national investigation himself?

Today the Government had the opportunity to end the cost of living crisis, get Britain growing again and repair the £90bn Brexit black hole - by fixing our trade with Europe. It didn't.

Of course it's not workable. Well done LibDem MP Josh Barbarinde for spelling it out in the House of Commons. www.thepinknews.com/2025/11/26/e...

OBR reckons pay per mile for EVs "is likely to reduce demand for electric cars as it increases their lifetime cost". Expecting 440k fewer sales through to 2030 compared to previous forecast, offset by a 130k increase in sales from more funding for the government's grant scheme'.

There were zero plans to invest in our natural capital - despite the fact it would add billions to our economy, create jobs & benefit the whole of society in countless ways. Ignoring nature is short-sighted. You cannot build a stable future on a collapsing natural foundation.

Progress in the investigation must be accompanied by urgent steps to clear the site. Residents have waited far too long, an environmental catastrophe looms and the Government and the Environment Agency must now deliver a full clean up without delay.

I welcome this development. It is essential that those criminals responsible for the illegal dumping in Kidlington are held to account. (1/2) news.sky.com/story/man-ar...

Brexit has cost each and every one of us £3,700 a year. But instead of solving the problem, Labour are using Brexit as an excuse to raise your taxes. My message ahead of the Budget: Stop blaming Brexit and start fixing it!

The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests. Brexit has blown a "black hole of [up to] £90 billion a year in the public finances" the party says. Even under lower estimates the hit is ~£65bn

Since January, wildfires have burned an estimated 47,026 hectares of land - more than double the area burned in the record breaking 2022 summer wildfires. Yet modelling from the NFCC shows £102m in potential cuts to the fire service still to come.

Causing an economic crash for issues you support is no better than a politician from an opposite point of view causing an economic crash for issues you don't support. Without sound economic policies we enact no change at all and yes I support a fairer and greener economic system.

Yes, there are spending multipliers etc - and yes, Kuenssberg spouted vacuous talking points. BUT. There is a bond market (or more generally a macro) constraint to borrowing, as there was in the 2010s - we just weren't near it then. Dodging the issue/pretending it doesn't exist isn't a policy.

The DLR extension to Thamesmead? It's happening.

Unnecessary, unwelcome, unworkable and uncalled for. The EHCR having to leak its own guidance to a client paper tells you all you need to know. This is unworkable and businesses can not afford it. It would increase hostility and conflict and ultimately require everyone to have a genital ID card.
