New polling has revealed that #BritishMuslims are more pro-democracy than the public at large and overwhelmingly feel they belong to the UK. Follow @mothinali.bsky.social www.middleeasteye.net/news/muslims...

A crypto investor just donated £9 million to the Reform Party. Right now, billionaires can pour unlimited money into our elections, effectively buying our democracy. Think that's wrong? Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

“Reeves has been ratcheting up the rhetoric on closer EU relations which she described as the “biggest prize” in trade” If only we’d acknowledged this BEFORE we threw it away in a fit of arrogant prejudice.

Oh just a repercussion of his war that we will pay for.

A new report shows hitting our climate targets by 2050 costs less than one oil shock costs the UK. We need a rapid transition to clean energy to shield people & the economy from price spikes every time oil prices jump. Some commentators still can’t connect those dots…

In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.

Trade barriers, red tape, and border checks - Brexit has put severe pressure on businesses across the UK. A closer relationship with the EU is key to fixing the damage.

It ain't so sunny down here in Sussex come on Peter .. enough of the maty joviality when this is so serious .. it just seems as if YOU are not taking this seriously!

Italy's Meloni condemns 'massacre' at Iranian school, says war 'outside' international law #TheHill

Explosive weapons used in populated areas kill civilians — about 90% of the casualties, according to the Mines Advisory Group. The government must press the US to uphold international law and do everything possible to protect civilians. Full response 👉 hansard.parliament.uk/Lords/2026-0...

As Gordon Brown pointed out in the article,we have to make sure international law is upheld and hold to account those who use our schools and hospitals as war targets endangering the lives within. Just as happened on day 1 of the Israel Us war

What fresh Hell is This? www.theguardian.com/money/2026/m...

Crackdowns on peaceful protest Support for Conservative benefit cuts Blaming migrants for failing public services As Labour keeps moving right. The question is: How low do they want to go?

Gordon Brown is absolutely right here, I could not agree with him more. He should also have a chat with Mahmood & the Home Office about the ill treatment of children as she is proposing that children be handcuffed & deported from the UK at speed, another disgrace: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Funny thing about this is they didn’t need “vetting” clearance when memory or at least google should’ve told them he was a dodgy geezer who took money from or tried to get passports for dodgy people and was fired from government for that TWICE

"There you have it, in black and white. The PM, Keir Starmer, warned in the clearest possible terms that Peter Mandelson maintained his relationship [with Epstein] after the conviction.. there is no escape from this"

Genuine questions: could these people be in the pay of the regime? And would that, to use language some of them favour, make them both ‘economic migrants’ *and* ‘welfare scroungers’?

So they are going after Nigerian oil next. www.bbc.com/pidgin/artic...

And also: "We can already see the weakening of existing international laws, institutions and rules that we have built over 80 years." In other words: we see that Trump, Putin and Xi are unscrupulously dividing up the world among themselves and no longer have respect for anything.

VP of the European Commission Kaja Kallas is clear: "There is a fundamental reorientation across the Atlantic. These trends point to a new world order, characterized by competition and coercive power politics." She warned against powers that want to divide the world into spheres of influence.

The racist and xenophobe Geert Wilders, leader of the Dutch PVV, was booed and chased out of the city of Groningen last Saturday because many people are fed up with his tirades against immigrants. As a result, he had to stop handing out flyers. In this video, you can see and hear what happened.

As the Iran war intensifies, the Gulf Arab states are beginning to openly question the US role in the region. newlinesmag.com/spotlight/th...

Trump: "The war on Iran is almost over." He lives in a fantasy world, b/c as long as Iran continues to attack ships in the Strait of Hormuz with drones – which is very easy for them – the US needs to respond. Meanwhile oil prices continue to rise. Through his own fault, he is now facing checkmate.

President Zelenskyy: Lifting of sanctions against Russian oil and gas is a big risk for Ukraine and for the whole world. "We see the first signals of thinking about fewer sanctions on Russian oil and gas. I hope that Americans will not do it"

We can't stop money buying marketing and exposure any more than we can stop individual donors giving £9m to political parties. But we should be able to see who is funding think tanks & which media influencers and stories are not as authentic as they appear... petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75...

Had missed this. Seems my investigation on Democracy for Sale about Peter Mandelson’s lobbying firm working for the Qataris came up in Mandy’s due diligence! (Am pretty sure I warned about this at the time of his US ambassador appointment…)

Animals on money? Perish the thought that patriotic British people would ever countenance such a thing.

You know this is exactly what Brexit was designed to do. Farage's #Brexit was an act of economic war on the country and sadly it's "success" is evident wherever you go in UK today. Brexit "took back control of daily chaos and instability.

Children killed, a school turned into a graveyard: even in wartime, we can’t accept this | Gordon Brown

The Bank of England has only put non royals on bank notes since 1970. Farage and Co. losing their minds over a relatively modern tradition.

“Reform and the Tories are now ideological satellites of extreme US conservatism, adopting Maga-coded positions on culture war issues and foreign policy by default” Badenoch was clumsier on Iran than Farage. But both paraded just how dangerously useless they are. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Within just 24 hours, our single market petition has reached over 11,000 signatures. Thank you to everyone who has signed, but we need 9,000 more signatures to reach our goal of 20,000.

Thank you Emmanuel Macron for organising a call with G7 partners to discuss a coordinated response to the concerning situation in Iran and the Middle East. We are focused on minimising the impact on security and the global energy market.

“Farage accused of U-turn as he says UK should keep out of Iran war…latest comment contrasts with earlier statement that ‘gloves need to come off’” “Reform wanted the UK to go to war in Iran & are now trying to cover up the consequences inc higher fuel prices.” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The Gorton and Denton by-election demonstrates the fragmentation of UK politics and the urgent need for electoral reform. @centralbylines.co.uk centralbylines.co.uk/politics/gor...

I’m not a Green Party member, but NGP have been happy to promise my cash will go to wards where the Greens have the best chance of beating Reform Ltd. I’m sure your local Green Party would welcome similar donations, and even more so, help with targeted anti-Reform leafletting & canvassing 2/2

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

Also known as "using insider knowledge for war profiteering."

People shocked that a repressive out of control murderous regime retaliates when another repressive out of control murderous regime attacks them...🤔

Today the United States wasted another #1B on an illegal war in Iran, money that could have been spent on funding health care or providing SNAP benefits or cancer research or academic scholarships for minorities. I could go on and on but I think you get my point. #endtheiranwarnow
