Were talking tens, perhaps hundreds of billions, where do you expect that money to come from? Governments? Of course the private sector has to be involved, the thing is to enable them to profit but not profiteer

Oh.

Interestingly, it’s badly conceived rather than tough. Some gaps can accommodate a number of equally valid answers so it sets people up to fail

As administered to all Reform voters to check they have a right to hoist our Union Flag

Very unprofessional journalism, at best

How many of Tommy Robinson’s followers know a British passport isn’t good enough for him, I wonder?

Not even one day www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

They don’t need A level English but they do need sensitivity, a range of skills, a high level of competence and perception. So fed up with this bottom wiping trope

"a test"? you mean...a violation?

Yup, one of those things ministers say when no-one has applied a brain cell to thinking about purpose, process or measurement. How would this be assessed? All migrants taking a two year A level and exam? What would its value be?

On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, don't forget that she called Osama bin Laden a freedom fighter, Nelson Mandela a terrorist, General Pinochet a friend. And Jimmy Savile 'Sir'.

Musk thinks justice is for sale to the highest bidder, let’s hope the UK shows him how wrong he is

This must break international humanitarian laws

If you wondered why Nigel Farage turned up in US Congress in September speaking about "freedom of speech", this story has the answer His appearance was orchestrated by a powerful American anti-abortion group that is trying to increase its influence in the UK by influencing the free speech debate

🚨🚨🚨WA Governor Bob Ferguson responds to a letter he received from AG Pam Bondi in which she threatened to place him in jail. 🧯He is on fire! 1/2

NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine. My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask: Why, even now, is no-one asking questions? t.co/BUTtpK9C4S

Interesting given the ‘caution’. Rather than interpret this as a hierarchy of faith hate, better to focus on its overall rise and pervasiveness, and how this can be addressed in part by faiths coming together in mutual support. We need the Interfaith Network restored (defunded by Gove last year)

The Bars, Faculty and Law Societies in the UK have come together and accused politicians of "irresponsible and dangerous" language that is putting lawyers at risk. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia. Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

Everything he's reported to have said in this BBC piece sounds like he's desperately trying to distance himself, knowing that the connection is real and toxic. If the press were investigating Farage with the same enthusiasm they went for Rayner, he'd be done for. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The thing I'm "stunned" about is why this isn't the biggest domestic news item on every flipping platform bylinetimes.com/2025/10/11/s...

Sign the petition if you want to continue living in a democracy without corporate free zones stealing your money, your land, your homes, and your human rights. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

Peter Thiel says that his core beliefs are shaped by the work of the Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt, whose theories provided ideological justification for Hitler's regime. Many scholars argue that Schmid has influenced modern governance in China and Russia, as well as movements like Trumpism.

It is embarassing not to see the BBC pulling up Reform leaders claiming that Nathan Gill was just some fan who got photos taken with Farage - he was an MEP for them & their leader in Wales while taking cash from Russia to act against the UK! Literally the very basics of your job to point this out

Nigel Farage would be the very worst PM England has ever had. Keir Starmer will open the door to a fascist state if he carries on as he is. He is don't nothing about skyrocketing taxation of 99% of the ppl, whilst giving tax breaks to tech billionaires & utility company CEOs & shareholders.

This is great, every lamppost needs one!

Why should he? He’s only in charge of the health prospects of some 350m people after all

🧵🚨 The UK’s independent scientific bodies are highly vulnerable to politicisation - over the past 5 months I've been working with @martinmckee.bsky.social to map out their vulnerabilities and it's not good news. Today our report is published! www.ucl.ac.uk/policy-lab/n... 1/11

Nigel Farage accuses teachers of "poisoning our kids" on race issues. Here's a reminder of what teachers and fellow pupils at Farage's own school remember of his own views on that subject. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/nigel-fara...

Apparently, the Tories are pledging to end the use of asylum hotels, as announced during their conference! Ironic, given that they introduced the use of hotels because they totally screwed the immigration and asylum system! #NeverTrustATory

We would like to thank Kristi Noem for bringing cameras with her everywhere and collecting evidence for her future trial at The Hague.

These are the self same people who want to chuck out migrants who don’t write and speak perfect English

It’s was great to speak to @mrjamesob.bsky.social about my book Viplanebook.com We talked about the $2billion profit made by Innova following a referral onto the VIP lane by Dominic Cummings 👀 Its’s owner has now splashed the cash on $90m in private jets + mansions 🤷‍♂️ youtu.be/uB58NJi63Co?...

⚠️ @pimlicat.bsky.social, CEO of Best for Britain, said: “This development is yet another demonstration of the mounting cost of Brexit and Nigel Farage will have to explain to the steel workers he pretends to champion, how leaving the EU has benefitted them." https://bit.ly/4q1dzPS

How can it be that they find a breach but are not obligated to take action? On what are Ofcom’s judgements to act based?

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch. Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

Reform have effectively said the same

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Nothing says "I want independent judges" like threatening to sack any judge who disagrees with you, while holding up a judge's wig like a puppet

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you beat my ass and sent me on a midnight flight to a for-profit prison

For shame. 😡

Jane Goodall said she’d like to send off to another planet: Musk, Trump, Putin, Xi & Netanyahu. 🚀
