”Reform UK's barrister tried to scare us. Our advice to other news sites: don't play the bullies game." Martin Shipton from @nation.cymru on being bullied by Reform's lawyers: www.thenerve.news/p/reform-nat...

⬇️ Since Brexit, mussel production has collapsed from about 10,000 tonnes annually to just five tonnes in 2022, just 0.05% of the previous total. 💷 An SPS Agreement will make it easier for British farmers and fishermen to sell their produce to Europe. https://bit.ly/48geuE4

🚨BOOM! The Petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy has now rocketed past 80,000 signatures! Let’s get it to 100,000 this weekend. If a petition is what it’s going to take let’s get this done! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

‘The chill wind from the White House is already rippling through New Broadcasting House.’ @lewisgoodall.com reacts after the BBC edited out an anti-Trump line from a historian’s lecture.

Despite the BBC's research that confirmed its own journalists regularly mislead the public about UK govt debt by using phrases like "maxed out the govt's credit card" or by referring to a govt "overdraft", #bbcLaurak this morning continued to misinform her audience. @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Farage’s views on Russia likely to be further tested after jailing of Nathan Gill

NEW: It’s takes a moment for this to really sink in. Guardian reporting that key parts of Trump’s peace plan was drafted IN RUSSIAN first.

🌏🇬🇧"We only won the First World War and the Second World War because we were joined in those wars by millions of black and Asian people from around the world." A powerful reminder from 2009 of Britain's historical debt to protecting a multicultural society. United we stand.

The meat industry is finally being pushed to answer for years of misleading climate claims. New settlements against Tyson and JBS show that real accountability is possible. @kennytorrella.bsky.social for @vox.com: www.vox.com/future-perfe...

I had a great conversation with the wonderful @zackpolanski.bsky.social on his podcast. Do please listen in. I don't think you'll have heard anything quite like it. And there's a LOT more here than the title suggests. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...

Thanks @mrjamesob.bsky.social for the Yuka app recommendation. I'm now scanning everything in the cupboard and fridge ffs!

Children’s TV nowadays? ‘Sooty, Sweep & Robby’ is my 4 year old granddaughter’s favourite programme. She loves Sooty’s magic tricks, Sweep’s stupid jokes and Robby’s really silly speeches. 😊

🧵/ How far does the public support net zero? Support: 60% Oppose: 25% Net support by party Green: +81 Lib Dem: +67 Lab: +64 Con: +11 Reform: -44 yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

Britain - where pompous superficial displays and hollow phrases are used to mask actions that do everything but uphold the dignity, respect and moral virtues they claim to champion. We live in a country where cheap imported flags are held in higher regard than the lives of minorities. Shame.

Reform UK would abolish the NHS Race and Health Observatory (source: their manifesto reformparty.uk/policies). The Observatory focuses on mental health inequities.

🚨 PMQ's 🚨 PM: "I think four councillors in Kent have just been suspended for bringing the party into disrepute." "I mean, that is, bringing the party into disrepute is quite something for a party whose Welsh leader accepts Russian bribes to spread Putin's propaganda."

The Treasury Department instructed employees not to share to share photos of the demolition of parts of the White House’s East Wing

WTF is wrong with Nick Robinson?

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

This might explain the position. 4 minutes 35 seconds Zack categorically states "we should stay in NATO but look to reform it from within". www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhD2...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk #lbc Some of the aggrandisement and triumphalism of this ceremony is hard to take while so many traumatised Palestinians are digging bone fragments of their families out of the rubble with their bare hands

‘“Faragism” is neoliberalism at its most inhumane, more destructive even than [Thatcher’s] monetarism, and vindictive far beyond austerity.’ Good analysis by Gordon Brown - and why progressives should attack Farage on economics above all: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead. This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

"Milei is amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing. That's leadership" - Nigel Farage Milei would be the "template" for my government - Kemi Badenoch

Snowflake Farage filmed saying the violence is the fault of the Left, threatening to pick up a r🚫fle and at🚫ack the Government. #ukpolitics

Remarkable to see the Speaker of the House literally do the, "so what if the guy we nominated for President and venerate as our Infallible God-Emperor is unhinged, have you heard what catboy socialists with no formal connection to the Democratic Party are saying about wealth creators on Bluesky?"

Reform’s Yusuf says Starmer is “inciting violence” and “demonising” Farage with his comments and will be responsible if anything happens? So who is responsible for all the hate following Farage calling Muslims a “fifth column”, BLM “The Taliban”.? Chinese “c****y” & referring to the “Jewish lobby”?

2025 is a record-breaking year for claims filed by fossil fuel and mining firms against democratic policies – marking a grim milestone in a surge of polluting industries seeking compensation for lost profits via a secretive tribunal. For @ftm.eu with contributions by ao @anilyilmaz.bsky.social

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore. So I wrote a blog about ten things you can do *right now* to help defeat Farage, Musk, and rightwing populism. From scrutinising Reform councillors to demanding the UK Govt leave X - get involved: guyshrubsole.substack.com/p/ten-things...

Left: Elon Musk, "You see how much violence there is on the left..The left is the party of murder" Right: Man on the far right march, "Keir Starmer needs to be assassinated. Someone needs to shoot, someone needs to shoot Keir Starmer" Anyone know if he has been arrested by the police yet?

Hey so…both the Christchurch mosque shooter and the Buffalo grocery store mass shooter referenced Valhalla in their manifestos. White supremacists believe that it’s a paradise for their own fallen soldiers. The director of the FBI just espoused White Nationalism on live TV.

Reform UK Councillor Jim O’Neill has deleted this post, but we think it’s important to share as it’s pretty spot on. Tories 2.0 (but only their rejects).

Lucy Connolly was convicted of inciting racial hatred, and her tweet was part of the tinder that lit violence, intimidation, looting, and thuggery across England last year. The fact Reform conference gave her a standing ovation says everything about that movement. bylinetimes.com/2025/08/27/l...

Lucy Connolly, a woman who admitted inciting racial hatred after using social media to post about setting fire to hotels housing asylum seekers is to speak at the Reform UK Conference today. That spells out all you need to know about Reform UK and their dangerous, hateful agenda.

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him

Reform councillor suspended over 'racist' posts at Epping hotel protests

Reform's plan - take up to £2 billion from taxpayers, and give it to the Taliban so they can kill and torture more people.

Not many farmers would tell you that we need to eat less meat; that wealthy landowners shouldn’t moan about inheritance tax but should “pay the whole fucking lot”; & that Reform UK are “a load of rich rightwing toffs” 😂 But Devon farmer Guy Singh-Watson does: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

@barristersecret.bsky.social did a fantastic blog about it - notably, Connelly has always admitted her guilt and has never said she was persuaded to plead guilty, forced into it, etc. thesecretbarrister.com/2025/08/16/w...

I remember the Conservative party criticising Labour reducing the number of jury trials like it was last month.

This week's work.

When they don't have a case, they lie.

Is anyone seriously saying the average 16 and 17 year old is less capable of making a rational decision than these Brexit voters?

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Government announce generational reform of electoral policy; - Giving the vote to 16 and 17 year olds. - Reforming voter ID laws to make voting more accessible. - Changing campaign donation laws to guard against foreign interference.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I don't know if you or many of your listeners have seen this but it's a very illuminating talk on why many victims of sexual abuse don't report. It really is worth a listen. youtu.be/uwW7GAWVyRc?...
