Well done

Reform is an anagram of *former*. Farage was a Conservative before he was leader of UKIP and then Brexit Party. Vote Farage and get former, failed Tories.

NEW: China is testing a megawatt-scale airborne wind system that captures stronger high-altitude winds, potentially producing up to 10× more energy with 40% less material and 30% lower costs. It could also be quickly deployed to supply emergency power after disasters.

It's not easy (or at least, not effective) to point out media lies. It's even more difficult to point out omissions. The choice of news reported is just as important as what is said. Take the lack of reporting on Brexit protests. Or the refusal of Fox News to show the video of Renée Good being shot.

We shape each others worlds, narrow & widen it. We limit possibilities or point out new horizons. We look at the past (often misremembered), stick to the present (there's safety in what we know), or glance ahead, not with fear but curiosity. We can't run away from the future. #GoodMorning, everyone

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

This is the insanity of the current Labour approach. You are kneecapping the economy by slashing immigration to appease voters who hover between Tory and Reform, and yet they don’t even believe your numbers anyway…plus you’ve just alienated your actual supporters

Electricity prices rising in the States undermining Trump's central promise of fixing cost of living crisis. And the cause? He dumped cheap energy from renewables to boost the profits of his friends in the oil industry. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Musk thinks it is fine to publish faked naked pictures of celebrities and children provided you can afford to pay him for the seedy behaviour. No wonder so many of us dumped his platform and are refusing to buy his cars. Boycott the racist woman hater www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

How common is violence against NHS staff in England and what is being done to stop it?

Iran’s protesters will neither submit to the regime's authoritarianism nor surrender their country to the hegemony of the United States or their economy to financialized capital. The Western left should learn from them. (Written in 2022 but still current) www.yanisvaroufakis.eu/2022/11/15/t...

Wessex Water bosses handed £50,000 in extra pay despite Labour govt’s bonus ban. Ban circumvented as legislation is weak. The company has 47+ criminal convictions, dumps sewage in rivers, loses 69.8m litres per day to leaks, neglects investment, customers fleeced. No exec prosecuted.

While ICE savages are murdering moms on the street, others are killing our children with polio, measles and COVID.

I think we shouldn't allow people like Musk to get away with making censorship impossible: it's only necessary when people like him misuse the freedoms we've all got to spread harmful material. The bar should be very high, but it's a necessary tool of last resort *because* of people like Musk.

Yes, it's become completely normal for this terrible man to say and do terrible things, and the governments of the world just ignore it.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

RELEASE THE DAMN UNREDACTED EPSTEIN FILES!! ARREST DOJ FOR CONTEMPT NOT FOLLOWING COURT ORDERS.

So, he’s going to take the E. Jean Carrrol approach to geopolitics. Gotcha.

@carlabela1.bsky.social So far so good except it's no longer morning - had to go out- A gloomy wet morning here and cold...here's to warm soup/cups of tea and a good book 😊

Outrageous. Ministers should be listening to scientists, frontline communities and those working towards a green transition – not hosting the interests of oil giants in their own offices. ✍🏼 - @adamramsay.bsky.social abolishwestminster.substack.com/p/revealed-o...

How we defeat Reform in 2029: www.youtube.com/watch?v=D44x...

the UK would open its food chain to substandard chicken produced under conditions that would be illegal here. Yes, it would be cheaper on the shelf, but that price cut would come at the expense of animal welfare, food safety, environmental standards, and the viability of UK poultry farming.

If Trump gets his way you'd have substandard chicken in the UK food chain but it would also be much cheaper so UK poultry farms - which are built and regulated to those much higher standards - would be royally screwed. It would benefit nobody apart from US farmers.

With new Elections Bill expected early next year, the UK faces a once-in-a-generation opportunity to update election rules that have remained largely unchanged for decades. If this moment is missed it may not come again for a very long time reformpoliticaladvertising.org/reform-polit...

You realize that is worse... right?

Good morning. Let's make a collective resolution: this will be the year in which we start to turn things round.

"I write this letter, as I wrote my original letter ... simply because, in the light of having worked for nearly fifty years in education and mental health, I regard these pupils’ accounts to be painfully authentic and sadly consistent with Farage’s previously recorded views and behaviours."

Corruption in plain sight. How long will Americans put up with this? youtube.com/shorts/8Q3ce...

the thing is Farage et all don't just grumble They slag the country off quite aggressively

Dyson did have an idea once. Today, he uses his reputation as an inventor to sell inferior products at inflated prices. That's not innovation, that's marketing & he has created a brand name but no business can survive long-term on fame alone. And with diminishing quality, there goes your reputation.

"A teacher said Farage was a fascist, but that was no reason why he would not make a good prefect "Another described his neo-fascist views … Farage was so offensive to a boy he had to be removed "he marched through a village shouting Hitler-youth songs” www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

"Free Speech"

Important detail of Reform - from Emma Monk - brilliant. It should be all we need to know to dismiss them

Tory MP Matt Vickers' car crash encounter with @lewisgoodall.com on #Brexit. LG: Do you accept you damaged the economy? MV: No. LG: Are you saying Brexit has been good for business? MV: It's created opportunities. LG: What about all the evidence? MV: You need to come up north. Huh? 😵‍💫 ~AA

Thanks to both @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social and @lewisgoodall.com for having this conversation and not limiting it to solely male influence. There are plenty of toxic people both male and female (& AI) skewing young minds.

Two governments took The News Agents to secret court for two years via a constitutionally unprecedented superinjunction to stop you from hearing this story. The MoD is responsible for a data leak that put up to 100,000 Afghans at risk of death. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zdc6...

Let me show you the distortion of FPTP: Trump's election & majority translate into: 40.8% of votes cast 29.6% of all eligible voters 22.6% of the total US population That's not a wave. That's roughly the %age of people everywhere PoliSci says hold extreme views. Lesson: We must steel our systems.

Thames Water has deferred £2.5m bonus, disguised as retention payments, to execs. First tranche of £2.5m already paid, millions more promised Bonus for what - fleecing customers, dumping sewage in ruvers, not investing, boosting profits? Let customers vote on exec pay/bonuses.

Fujitsu boss to face grilling from MPs over the Post Office Horizon compensation. Public purse footing the bill. Fujitsu and its execs, PO execs, lawyers, accountants benefitted from false prosecutions, haven't paid anything. No one charged for the scam which destroyed lives of innocent people.
