This might appear counterintuitive, but please read, share widely and if you can, help. Ofcom will never act against GB News if nobody tells them when the rules are being broken. So let’s tell them.

I'd urge everyone to read this. We demonstrate that GB News is a blatant mouthpiece for Reform UK. It routinely, systematically and blatantly breaches Ofcom's rules. And Ofcom has utterly failed to do anything about it.

They said it would take 193 years to clean London’s air. We did it in nine. 💨 London has now met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide air pollution.

As I am fond of saying, Britain leads the world in offshore wind power and for god's sake the govt need to do 2 things. One is to run ads saying Windmills Are Beautiful And Look At All This Power That They Make For Us, and the second is force the electricity companies to lower bills drastically

Wholesale electricity was nearly free overnight because of wind power. Why isn't that headline news on #r4today?

The Allister Heath headline generator is so convincing, it’s almost as unhinged as the real thing – 23 absurdly Heathian favourites (H/T @martinnicholls.bsky.social) www.thepoke.com/2026/03/02/a...

Reform are in denial about why they lost by 12% in Gorton & Denton (60% white, 80% UK-born) after losing by 11% in Caerphilly (98% white, 98% UK-born) to Plaid Cyrmu Both seats unusual in seeing more people vote than at last Welsh Senedd/last GE: more voters turned out to stop Reform than supoort

I've been unemployed for a few months. I now set myself pretend jobs to prevent the rot setting in. My son thinks this guy is funny, which is a good enough excuse to make something. Any requests?

You'd think Reform would be delighted that a white, working class plumber got elected and they beat the metropolitan elite university lecturer.

Yesterday, the magnificent Allister Heath headline generator demonstrated how thin the line between parody & reality can be. Today, Dick Littlejohn uses his Daily Mail column to explain that he 'knows' how much better 'things' were 25 years ago, because he has been watching old episodes of The Bill.

Morning.

In honour of the Sunday Telegraph's editor and offical maddest columnist, we have created the Allister Heath headline generator... stirring-fox-7e1fab.netlify.app

Labour needs to find an authentic centre-left account of how to manage immigration and integration – and that means changing its policies too. @sundersays.bsky.social for @thenewworldmag.bsky.social www.thenewworld.co.uk/sunder-katwa...

I think @philtinline.bsky.social has hit in a really important idea here – working out why we keep getting trapped in doom loops is going to be crucial in the next few years. Working out how to escape them, even more so.

That’s the way to do it… www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cq...

Giving Braverman the education brief is quite a choice for Reform. I was on an education commission with her once before she went completely mad and she knew absolutely nothing at all.

Measles spreads easily. Ensuring you and your loved ones are up to date with your MMR or MMRV jabs is the best protection. Contact your GP to get vaccinated.

Dispatches from the #GortonandDenton by-election: local community Facebook groups are being flooded with some really dodgy 💩. One for my neighbours in Levy and for investigative journalists - not sure whom to talk to about it. See a few screenshots here, and 🧵on why I think it's sus below.

You’ve taken your daughter to a birthday party. In the air, invisible, is the measles virus. Even if she survives, the virus may never be done with her. Elizabeth Bruenig on what measles can do to a body, to a brain, and to a family:

Notably there aren't any houses in this shot. It's a motorway underpass heading into the industrial estate on which Reform have set up their HQ. The number of voters who could hear this IRL is probably close to zero. So...do they think it's a good visual for social, or what?

Your poems are shit, and so are your stunts. You shout at hotels, you wife-beating cunts.

The Jack Thorne Lord of the Flies adaptation on the BBC is so damn good. Deeply moving performances and full-on psychedelic folk horror atmospherics. Really unusual. Has also sent me back to reread the book. Best TV of the year so far by a mile.

Ok this is about politics, but regarding the subject of the quote, on reflection the entire dominant theory in 00s/10s scientific communication, that you shouldn't lecture or challenge people head on for making false claims, has been proven completely and utterly wrong to devastating effect.

This is probably the best piece I've read on the whole Epstein horrorshow.

The paedophile fixer’s depraved, narcissistic, super-rich circle have come to believe that they are beyond mortality and morals ✏️ Matthew d'Ancona

Hard to believe that none of the Reform MPs turned up for the debate on Russian interference in our politics. Maybe they were visiting their former Kremlin talking points Welsh leader Nathan Gill in prison? Or en route to their next BBC interview to act as commentators on why Starmer should go?

“If someone suggested that I’d received tens of thousands of dollars from anyone – let alone the world’s most notorious paedophile – 15 years ago, I could tell them instantly whether it was true or not. The chances of me forgetting would be less than zero.” www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-m...

Trump’s Greenland U-turn wasn’t a mystery. A YouGov/Economist poll showed 72% of Americans oppose using military force to take Greenland - even Even Republicans reject it, by 52%-22% 👎 🎥 Peter Kellner

THE POLLS ARE IN 📊 There’s one subject on which Democrats and Republicans agree on – and it’s bad news for the president ✏️ Peter Kellner

Still no word from the suddenly camera-shy Farage on Trump's disgraceful comments about Nato troops. I bet he's still doing Cameos though...

Dear America Your president is an abject, incoherent embarrassment. Sincerely, The Rest Of The World.
