Everyone who has been a member of the Conservative Friends of Russia should be thoroughly investigated especially their bank accounts, their voting records, their travel details.

I have been detained by Israeli security forces all day. Along with with MPs Clive Lewis, Lara Bird, MSP Kate Nevans, former MP Sam Tarry and campaigners from across the world, we were turned back because they don’t want anyone seeing their ethnic cleansing.

Amazing how many Labour MPs do not understand this quite basic point.

Christabel Cooper@christabelcoops.bsky.social

Really worth noting that even in Red Wall constituencies which backed Leave, most *Labour* voters back rejoining the EU. Over 90% of Labour considerers back rejoin - opposition to EU membership is mainly coming from non-Labour voters in these seats. Was on Times Radio yesterday making this point.

You’ll notice the American state media treated Hunter Biden’s laptop, the lies spread about him by GOPers and his selling of paintings as more of a earth shattering story than criminal slumlord committing treason by taking billions of dollars in bribes whilst shaping US foreign policy. Disgusting.

As Trump cheerleader Justin Webb is presenting #r4today, this is your regular reminder that it's not only the New York Times, Washington Post, and The Atlantic that no longer prioritise independent, impartial journalism, above personal political bias and hard right bigotry.

I Am Incorrigible@imincorrigible.bsky.social

What in the name of all that is holy, is this? Has The Atlantic completely lost its marbles? What's next - "Sure, Hitler murdered 6 million Jews, but his still life paintings signalled a second Aryan renaissance"? @theatlantic.com #r4today

This is great news and alternative power sources to nuclear and oil need to continue to develop and grow despite the kicking and screaming of the oil industry and others.

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...

For 7 years Meghan was the "heartless daughter”… She stayed silent while our disgusting press gave her endless abuse And probably because she trusted the Met to do its job …and somehow she's still the one getting the blame?!

Farage, responsible for inflicting the Brexit disaster on the country, now campaigns with the slogan '100 days to save Britain' 🤦‍♂️ Farage, who insisted the only way to get migration under control was by leaving the EU now insists that leaving the ECHR is the only way to get migration under control 🤦‍♂️

Farage caught out in blatant lie He pretends to care about poor people while proposing our NHS replaced by US-style private healthcare where the super-rich get excellent care the well-off go bankrupt the poor left to die "Our NHS is not safe in Nigel Farage’s hands" www.youtube.com/shorts/Q9fnI...

This is utterly damning, and yet still about as generous as possible

Farage is charmless and thin skinned. Whatever political stardust he once had has long gone. Burnham is playing his EU hand brilliantly. Closer and closer cooperation with our friends across the Channel is inevitable.

Liz Linnard reposted

Just heard Farage on the news shrieking about how Burnham has no mandate to seek closer ties to EU. a) He can Fuck off b) show us any tangible benefit Brexit has given us c) Fuck off a bit further 🤨🤣

Seems the economy doesn't actually need saving, despite Refuk's assertion. Going through their list - stuff to benefit their fossil fuel donors and 'Honest' Bob's property developer chums. And scrapping worker rights, renter's rights, etc. The millionaire's party, voted for by gullible racists.

Liz Linnard reposted

BBC News broadcasting live yet another Farage/Reform 'announcement' as they are wont to do at the drop of a hat. This one is about the economy. Although , currently, he's wanging on about Brexit plus immigration, of course.

Liz Linnard reposted

What is the BBC's justification for maintaining this level of coverage of Reform now it has slipped into third place?

Alex Andreou@sturdyalex.bsky.social

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY
