HOPE not hate welcomes today’s verdict. A jury has found Stephen Lennon, aka Tommy Robinson, guilty on both counts of harassing journalists and causing them to fear violence. The intimidation was so severe that journalists and their families were forced to leave their homes or seek protection.

Thames Water has gone bust So it's normal (and appropriate) for shareholders to get ZERO compensation And a huge chunk of its debt can be written off as part of the special administration process @andyburnham.bsky.social you have 2 DAYS to stop the bailout weownit.org.uk/news/5-thing...

I have NOT been shortlisted for this year's political journalism award, despite having described Jonathan Gillian as "Primark Hodor," David Cameron as "winner of Britain's Least Lips," Kemi Badenoch as a "Vapid Response Unit," and Robert Jenrick as her 'Stupid-as-fuck buddy." I demand a recount.

Tommy Robinson has been found Guilty, could be spending Christmas in jail, again.

Hi Nigel Farage, thought you might like an update on how your friend Sam Journet here is doing. Since you went to Basildon, he and his friends lost the Billericay East Town by-election that Reform threw everything at. Yesterday he resigned from Essex CC cabinet (he jumped before he was pushed)

Greenpeace + Friends of the Earth making the obvious yet overlooked point that if government approves new oil fields, runways, cuts to clean tech grants, and watered down EV targets then it's hard to take its commitment to net zero all that seriously. www.businessgreen.com/news/4537926...

1. 🧵 Thread What if Britain restored Freedom of Movement, but this time applied all the rules? Rules everyone understands. Rules that can be enforced. And, crucially, rights for British people to live and work across Europe again. Here's how it could work.

A Freedom of Information Request filed by the #LedByDonkeys campaign group churned out some astonishing figures. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/sue...

Oh the dilemma of Nigel Farage desperately needing to attract overt racists in Restore Britain & Patriot Platform while not alienating covert racist in the Tory Party while denying he has a single racist bone in his body to stem hate crime charges on top of fraud investigations!!

The event, organised by a student society supporting Reform UK, is scheduled for 17 November and will discuss diversity, equity and inclusion in higher education.

The EU is fighting Elon Musk's Starlink on at least five fronts. From blocking access and boosting rivals to drafting new rules aimed at undermining the tech mogul's growing dominance in the space business. 🔗 vist.ly/5q83t

A sure sign that a party is patriotic is when 80% of its funding comes from people who don't live in the UK.

Atlantic bluefin tuna were fished out of the North Sea in the 1960s. It's taken SIX decades for them to return. A species comes back from the brink, and the fishing industry immediately acts to exploit it.

🚨 Tom Brufatto, B4B Policy and Research Director: “The only path to truly fix our economy and bear down on the cost of living, while keeping the UK defended, requires the UK to pursue full membership of our largest and closest market, which would rocket-boost UK GDP by at least £92bn.”

'“Real change only happens if you vote for it.” That’s what Reform said when they were asking residents to vote for Christopher Perera ... ... who, according to the local council leader, hasn’t responded to residents or council correspondence since June ..." www.facebook.com/permalink.ph...

Apart from Reform and the Tories… Jenrick cannot *ever* be honest about freedom of movement. He was a Tory immigration minister who oversaw a record high in net migration and who voted Remain in 2016. His whole political career is built on scheming bullshit. www.independent.co.uk/voices/andy-...

In case you missed it ... The EU's Single Market for Energy facilitates the cheaper sale of surplus energy between member states BEFORE it reaches the open market. Thanks to Brexit, we're no longer a part of that scheme, which means we have to pay more than EU members do. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

The human costs of Brexit far outweigh the economic. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Who do they think they’re impressing by swapping climate science that works for climate science that doesn’t? (It’s fossil fuel producers) https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/oct/27/chris-packham-chancellor-scrap-spending-fairytale-carbon-capture-budget

80% of the Reform UK political donations came from individuals or companies based abroad. Some might not be legal. People not permanently resident in the UK or paying taxes subverting UK politics. What have they been promised in return? Political donations are bribes, must be banned.

Water companies want ANOTHER price hike on your water bills. They want you to take the 💩hit for their chronic, catastrophic performance. Write to your MP - demand that the Chancellor blocks any more bill hikes. 🚨But don't put it off - the deadline is this Thursday. vist.ly/5q7j8

Bloody hell…

“80% of donations to Reform UK in the past 12 months have come from donors or companies recently based overseas…Labour & the Tories received just 0.15% & 3.57% of their donations from people or companies based abroad respectively during the same period.” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Was about to buy some Scott paper towels today until I found out its parent company Kimberly-Clark is heavily invested in Israel. Good riddance. Many better alternatives out there. #EndZionism #SanctionIsrael #BoycottIsrael #GazaHolocaust

Google clear-cut 150,000 trees near Otanmäki, northern Finland, to build a data centre. The Guardian quoted one local saying: "We had wolves coming into the village because all the wild animals moved out of the forest. They fled."

🇪🇺 The freedom to live, work, travel, study, retire across 27 countries. Give us back that freedom.

Three-quarters of the responses to the 2023 UK govt consultation on the tobacco and vapes bill were machine-generated. 90,835 of the 118,756 responses were by bots. Corporations have a new tool for subverting polices and public opinion; to increase profits, spread addiction, health hazards.

“Why was a major government supplier allowed to help shape the rules governing how the department buys its products, with little public scrutiny?” (The name of the supplier should come as no surprise) https://democracyforsale.substack.com/p/revealed-palantir-led-secret-review

Well, well, well... 80% of "donations" to Nigel Farage’s party are from donors or companies based overseas. This is not normal. And the public deserves to know what these super-rich donors want back in return

Another investigation into Jason Arday's academic work has ended without substantiating plagiarism allegations. Taylor & Francis has removed an investigation notice from his 2020 paper. Arday died aged 41 in August. Cambridge is reviewing the support it provided before his death.

Well, I'm not sure that was how it was meant to go ... Reporter: What is your thought on the ban of foreign students, you were one of those kids, right? Musk: “I think we want to stick to talking about spaceships.” Reporter: I was told that any topic is good. Musk: “Well no.”
