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…

How strange Reform UK whose leaders supported Brexit and British people 'taking back control' is happy to get most of its funding from millionaires living abroad (ps who never give something for nothing, 'donations' are the British way of corruption buying policies like tax cuts for millionaires)

Merry Christmas, as in the other place.@hellobluesky5694.bsky.social

The Independent. 'True scale of Reform UK’s donations from overseas donors revealed 80 per cent of the money received by Reform UK from donations in the year 2025-26 has come from individuals or companies who have been based abroad in the past two years'

Good morning and welcome to tuna Tuesday Love yourself a little extra right now. You're balancing so much, handling things no one sees, and doing your best. And please remember, even on the days when your best feels like very little, it is still enough.

Farage tying himself in angry knots here ... as he refuses to answer the basic question: Is it racist to call Kemi Badenoch a "Nigerian scammer"?

Mike Rogers is terrible at faking it. And judging by Kristen Welker’s face, she’s not buying one second of this bullshit.

WTF is the point of Lisa Nandy? Why are the BBC still blatantly promoting Reform? 🤬

One of the best speeches I’ve seen from Gov. Newsom. Watch and share it. Make sure your vote gets counted, and remind friends and family to vote. This is the most important election in modern American history since 2020. Our future, our institutions, and the Constitution are at stake. #Midterms2026

Off the charts Trump family corruption. Kushner got Billions of foreign funds, while spearheading foreign policy. And the Hunter Biden hunters are silent. @MarshaBlackburn

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

Back in the US after a long break in the UK, I am suffering from total sticker shock after visiting a couple of DC supermarkets. I have never seen prices like it. Inflation numbers here are going to soar & are not yet telling the full story. The difference between late May & today is staggering.

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

Reform plan to bring back imperial measurements to help boost US trade, not realising that US imperial measurements are different from UK ones. So dense a black hole is empty space by comparison.

Imagine a world where we are no longer dependent on oil and nuclear energy. It's coming and it's better and that's why the vested interests are doing everything in their power to stop it

Jan Rosenow@janrosenow.bsky.social

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...
