Climate emissions resulting from approving drilling at Rosebank, expanding Heathrow airport, watering down UK’s EV targets, cutting heat pump grants would be 402m tonnes of CO2 over the next 25 years Greater than the annual emissions of 106 coal plants www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I’d like to think there was a time when the BBC would have called out fascism and Genocide. No longer. BBC relentlessly platform Farage. And Farage supports Trump. Trump supports Russia and Israel, committing Genocide in Ukraine and Gaza.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

People who believe absurdities commit atrocities. Voltaire said that centuries ago. But many have yet to learn it. Probably because churches employ people willing to lie to children for Trump and The Republican Party.

Palantir and Moseley connections we should be aware of. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Bernie Sanders on Musk and the Mid-Terms

Vance lacks an education, but hey, why would he need to know the facts?

US sources have confirmed the order to throttle Starshield to hobble Ukraine's ability to defend itself came from within the White House. The security implications for the UK are huge. Along with other European nations, we MUST decouple our defence capabilities from the US. bsky.app/profile/reut...

Q: What do these two despicables possibly have in common? A: Everything. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Reform, “is an old Tory care home”.

Bad decisions on Defence equipment can‘t be put right by bad decisions on renewable energy sources, or even more indecision on equality of Tax burdens for millionaires and billionaires.

Is this Kennedy JFK Jnr? Or a metaphor for the GOP?

Ukraine have been preparing for Russia Data centre attacks since 2022. But it seems when Putin hit Ukraine’s data centre this September, he didn’t factor how vulnerable Russia’s own digital infrastructure is. bsky.app/profile/chri...

If Ukraine is hitting anything Russia that significantly reduces Reform’s social media output, it not only confirms a direct link between these two criminal organisations, but does UK democracy a huge favour.

If this is him trying to bring down prices, what’s going to happen if he stops ‘insider trading’, ‘gaming‘ the Oil Markets and ‘extorting’ Oil rich countries? He could stop, “unilaterally all by himself”, said Katie, another Barbie Look-alike Press Secretary

The most disquieting thing? The indoctrinated hard of thinking MAGA morons, grinning inanely, often distracted by mobile phones in red MAGA hats, smiling as Trump speaks of bombing people in Iran and California, are clapping, so clearly thrilled to be on TV and waving to Gran at home.

Trump has a difficult relationship with Courts… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

From the most unhinged and mind strangled man who ever occupied the Oval Office… Isn’t this the most mangled message on American foreign policy you ever heard?

This is genocide, in Europe, the latest of a long list of countries invaded by Russia:

Tory disconnect with reality is caused by increasing wealth inequality. The political elite seduced by corporate elite on inflated incomes cannot experience the reality of our lives. The political elite have become advertising agencies for a fictional utopian lifestyle. bsky.app/profile/mrja...

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "How long do you think its going to take for people to forget you ran the country for 14 years?" Helen Whateley, "Kemi has published an essay called The Right Way, really thinking about what's gone wrong with the country" 14 years of Tory austerity 🤷‍♀️

The richest man owns X. The second richest man owns The Washington Post. The third and fifth richest men control Google. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And the eighth richest man now owns both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Why publicise this and reveal interception? A concealed Radio Tracker could lead to Criminal Arrests of those behind these consignments. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Americans, don’t forget to vote.

Since Merz became chancellor in May 2025, Germany has become the single largest donor to Ukraine. He said the country "needs all our support in the coming weeks", adding: "If Russia is not stopped, its war machine will sooner or later turn against us." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Suella Braverman’s parents emigrated (they were horrible economic migrants not from a war zone she hates). She went to Cambridge for free and didn’t collect £27k debt like everyone else. Scrounger. She used the Erasmus scheme to study in France. Which she has blocked. Horrible

Shakespeare has the last word on the prejudice of Farage, the BBC and all strangers…

I recognise this location, and canoed many times with the children through there…

In the land of freedom, where there is freedom of speech, and everyone is a winner, and bad things don’t happen, this didn’t happen the most…

This is developing into a charade. The local people know they‘re living alongside an Airbase run by morons who want to sound as if everything is under control. In reality nothing anyone has said makes sense except for the Farmer who first raised the alarm. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

All under control.....

BBC in-depth? Isn’t this about as shallow a piece as you can find during a year of drought? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ladies and gentlemen! The president of the United States. Donald Slump.

It‘a time to clean the House. Our Political Class had their heads turned by wealthy corporations. Our political model serves a billionaire class. Our Politicians should be representing us, the electorate, but many have failed us. It is time for a thoroughly good clean out. bsky.app/profile/suew...
