Jenrick has set out how Reform would maximise our “Brexit freedoms”. And this is their list. This is the very best they can come up with. “Re-legalise imperial units” It’s truly pathetic that this is the pinnacle of their Brexit fever dream. And that anyone would still back this ruinous idiocy…

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

Doesn’t matter how you voted if you were front and centre in a Brexit government, actively overseeing the shrinking of our economy, our influence and our opportunities, while you rolled around in the trough. We’ll be disregarding everything you now say, thanks.

Blumenthal's question about who ordered the Starlink restriction matters. A private owner deciding Ukrainian drone range is a policy question now, and Congress should have taken it up long ago.

And a woman in America suffering with a complicated pregnancy is left to die along with her unborn baby. That's GOP's Right To Life policy.

She's a criminal pouring shit into the lake, and she wants us to pay to fix that, but once fixed she still has to put up prices to pay out to shareholders. This is bullshit PR to make alternative noise to nationalisation.

The words "Fuck off" spring to mind. They've extracted so much money they are into extraction of urine.

Let’s eradicate our life support systems – that’ll teach the liberals! It's not just about giving destructive industries what they want, important as this is. The likes of Trump and Bolsonaro will kill the planet out of a vengeful desire to hurt. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

UK Tory govt failures led to Covid spreading ‘like wildfire’ in care homes. Ministers lied. Residents sent home without protection. 43,000 died from Covid-19 in UK care homes between March 2020 and July 2022. 2016 Exercise Cygnus showed NHS couldn't cope with a flu pandemic. Govt did nothing.

A trillionaire private citizen cut the U.S. military satellite over Ukraine. No one voted for him to hold that switch. Now the same money is pouring into Texas. Don’t surrender Texas to him. A TRILLIONAIRE DID THIS CUT THE SATELLITE. DON’T SURRENDER TEXAS TO HIM #USDemocracy iwillvote.org #USA

Wednesday 21 October 2026 marks 60 years since the Aberfan disaster. On that terrible morning in 1966, a colliery spoil tip slid down the mountainside & engulfed Pantglas School & nearby homes. 144 people lost their lives — 116 of them children. Gone but not forgotten Rest in Peace
