Brexit has been catastrophic. It's time to rejoin the EU.

Outstanding

On 25 October, Trafalgar Square will shine with music, dance, food and culture as London celebrates Diwali. I’m proud to mark the huge contribution our Hindu, Sikh and Jain communities make to our city, and a festival whose message is simple: light over darkness, compassion over division.

All carers need a break sometimes – and far too many carers don’t get them. This week, my wife Emily and I are taking our first two nights away as just us for over 18 years. When we’re back, I’ll keep fighting to guarantee respite breaks for every carer.

Each election year, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) takes extra steps to ensure ballots sent through the mail arrive at election offices on time. This year, it’s delaying those efforts. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Was just on LBC with @mrjamesob.bsky.social to discuss Kemi Badenoch's banning of @bylinetimes.bsky.social from attending Conservative conference after calling such bans by Reform "authoritarian" and an assault on free speech bylinetimes.com/2026/09/30/k...

Your weekend reminder that Nigel Farage wants to - leave the ECHR - repeal the Equality Act - Strip back workers rights - Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts - repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes no fault evictions He is not on your side youtu.be/KxOQRt8PQys?...

NEW ANALYSIS: Record wind and solar save UK from gas imports worth £5.9bn during Hormuz crisis 🌤️ wind/solar generation up 14% in 2026 to date 🏭 gas down ~10% 🚢 >100 LNG cargoes avoided

Kemi Badenoch condemned Reform's ban on critical journalists covering their conference as "authoritarian", saying her own party would never do the same as "we believe in free speech. We believe in a free press." Now the Conservatives have banned Byline Times from their conference

Most TV is just this now.

This is so very funny youtu.be/SHUvSffmLIQ?...

Andy Burnham is coming for your pension! By... er... increasing it by slightly less. Whereas Reform will scrap it completely.

With big thanks to @doctorofmusic.bsky.social, here's my discussion today with Lord Jackson about North Sea oil and gas. Tape your jaw to your face before watching. Really.

a great letter in the times today. perhaps worth sharing in these troubled times. #RNLI #heroes

Thank you for sharing. No comment necessary from me. Please share far and wide.

Cunts have just stolen my bike from the garage and fucked my garage door. If anyone sees this around Croydon, let me know.

I just signed this open letter to RNLI volunteers saying that Britain values their service. In case anyone else wants to sign act.38degrees.org.uk/act/rnli-tha...

Bill Bryson’s words seem appropriate to post right now

Needed saying.

Over 90% of this excess energy goes into Earth's oceans as heat. This energy is why future El Niño will continue to surpass even the heat (storm, drought, fire, crop failure) records of this 2026/2027 event. This is all happening because our society emits CO2. CO2 is insulation in the atmosphere

Pollution levels in London after 10 years of advancing sustainable transport.

Time to break their echo chamber again. You know what to do 👇

Reform policy: Tell lie, get headline newspaper/BBC coverage Issue correction - on page 94! Full Fact: 'Incorrect. This figure refers to the proportion of people on Universal Credit in January 2026 who were non-British/Irish citizens, which had been falling since 2024' fullfact.org/immigration/...

The UK-USA medicines deal obliges the NHS to pay much higher prices for new medicines. This is “one of Brexit’s hidden costs”. EU countries negotiated collectively with the USA, with much greater leverage. Britain negotiated alone with no clout and lost out. ukandeu.ac.uk/the-uk-us-me...

Hahaha. We need so much more of this Private Eye style ridicule when it comes to Farage. No one should be taking him seriously any more.

Bold action on air pollution works. Take London’s example. After the ULEZ was introduced, new research shows that children’s lung function improved in Central London, catching up to levels outside London.

Homelessness & the extraordinary success of ‘KHAN’S ULEZ’. open.spotify.com/episode/60bm...

This stopped me in my tracks. An independent study by @qmul.bsky.social has found that after ULEZ was introduced, children’s lungs grew faster in Central London and have now caught up with children outside of the capital. Incredible.

Reform's Tice Ridiculed Over Climate Comments A Different Bias - @philmoorhouse.bsky.social #ClimateChange #ReformUK #StupidTice www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgEg...

The UK is on fire. Reform UK's response? Let's "enjoy" the heat. This is madness.

A former director of BBC News speaks:

A brief note for Nadhim Zahawi.

EXCEPTIONAL HEAT WAVE IN GERMANY Another 39C day and 13 more records of August Highest Temperature including long term stations like Waldems-Reinborn,Sandberg,Klippeneck,Wasserkuppe and Kleiner Feldberg. See map and records list courtesy of Micheal Theusner

It was Count Binface’s best-ever result at a parliamentary election.

I came first in the Clacton by-election! Of the candidates who bothered to turn up for the results. Here is my victory speech!

Temperatures have topped 38C today (the previous hottest day set on 26 June this year), hitting 38.1C in Kew Gardens. Officially the hottest day of the year. Climate change is real.

Bin Day cometh.

Checkmate, Nige.

For thousands of years, a solar eclipse has been a prophetic harbinger of a spectacular, epoch-making event. Just saying. #VoteBinface #Clacton

🟠 An Amber Heat-Health Alert is now in place until 9am on Friday 14 August. Drink plenty of water, avoid the hottest part of the day where possible and check in on those who might struggle to keep cool - those with health conditions, older people, young children and babies.

I’m so grateful to have received kind messages from the next generation of humans over the last few weeks. This is from Edward, aged 10. Thank you!

Brexit has held our economy back. I welcome steps to strengthen our relationship with the EU that help businesses grow and create jobs. From architects and engineers to tech firms and creatives, London thrives when talent and expertise can work across borders.

It’s election week! At this important moment I would like to address your entire planet with a message to the people of Earth. And I think I found the perfect place to do it.

I don’t know if this really happened. But if it did, I salute you Alan.

I believe Clacton deserves an MP who will spend their time shining a light on everything the area has to offer. And why wait till I'm elected? I've been to visit one of the constituency's most stunning landmarks.

Oh I do like to be beside the Clacton-on-Seaside.
