Reminder covering 0.4% of UK farmland in Solar Panels would provide 100% renewable energy. 20% is currently unused and 2% is golf courses. The being outraged at solar panels on farmland is a Right Wing trope to keep you outraged at Renewable energy.

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

Superb 👏👏👏👏

Labour will build a Britain where no child goes hungry, where every child has opportunities, where every family has power and choices in life. So proud to present the Child Poverty Strategy to Parliament.

Two thirds of Reform donations come from donors resident overseas or with offshore interests overseas - astonishing story by @catneilan.bsky.social in @theobserveruk.bsky.social observer.co.uk/news/politic...

Farage hopes he can breeze into power without scrutiny. But his racism, corrupt donations, shady links to Russia and MAGA… make it harder for him to hide. And his tantrum reactions to being challenged reveal him for the nasty inadequate he really is. #NeverPM www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-wheels...

Bet this won’t be headlined in the Telegraph, Mail, Sun n Express !!!

“In its first formal review of UK trade policy since Brexit, the WTO found that UK trade performance had weakened since the 2008 financial crisis, with Brexit named among the chief causes of a marked slump in goods trade since 2018” God, failure is tedious… www.ft.com/content/8f4d...

I know this is obvious when you think about it but we don’t think about it enough: fascists have to cow & persecute decent journalists to prevent them from reporting exactly what they, the fascists, are doing. Fascist-adjacent ‘journalists’ help by insisting that we shouldn’t call fascists facsists.

#R4today this article has it all, signed sealed and delivered. Russian interests. Reform, global politics. Share this article from Bylines bylinetimes.com/2025/10/04/t...

This. Is. Brilliant.

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?

Thinking of voting for Farage’s Reform U.K.? Take a closer look at their policies that will make the average citizen poorer! 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

Not to make light of the editorial failure, but look how far Twitter lies now permeate in to normal discourse. We think we know about the racism but the utter contempt for truth since Musk bought the platform is deliberate & very dangerous. You can’t foment racism with fact checkers in the building.

I said Israel "kidnapped" journalists, Greta Thunberg and citizens from around the world on the aid flotilla to Gaza. I was wrong. And I admit I was wrong. It was a mass abduction.

Reform UK’s Nigel Farage with the Russian Ambassador (that he denied meeting), and with Oleg Voloshyn's wife Nadia Borodi, Voloshyn bribed Nathan Gill. Farage is still silent. It’s deafening. #ReformRussianBribes

“The current attrition rate of senior figures from the government is running at one a week” - WAIT FOR IT! - “this autumn.” Filed eleven days into autumn. I’m running out of pejoratives for Mason. How can someone this mediocre end up in a position meant for the best political journalist in the UK?

Ireland, Slovenia, Iceland, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal are now all considering boycotting Eurovision unless Israel are removed. Like if they should. RT if Israel should be kicked out

Disgusted to see this beautiful landscape ruined by wind turbines.

“[Maxwell's] willingness to brazenly lie under oath about her conduct, including some of the conduct charged in the Indictment, strongly suggests her true motive has been & remains to avoid being held accountable for her crimes,” prosecutors wrote in a pretrial motion www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Oh SO absolutely this!! 👏👏👏👏

Winner of the internet today comes from Scotland.

Gotta admire Corbyn's relentless ambition. It's not enough to have played his part in delivering Brexit and Boris Johnson, he wants the accomplishment of a Farage premiership before he's done.

A whole LOT worse.

Starmer never promised miracles – that’s the sort of thing Boris Johnson did. But things are improving slowly but surely.

Jeremy Vine using his 10 year old daughter to dodge tax. I'm pretty certain he doesn't want people to know about this. So be good! #Jeremyvine

President Macron, "What is at stake in Europe is the different democratic models amid foreign interference" "Information manipulation" "Domination of minds by negative emotions and addictions to social media" "Being vulnerable to algorithms designed in the US and China"

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

The U.K. fishing industry - weaponised & then betrayed & then abandoned, by Johnson, Farage & the rest of them - is better off under Starmer’s deal than it was under Johnson’s. That’s not an opinion. It’s counting. Anyone claiming otherwise is a liar.

SPRINGSTEEN, on tour in the UK: “.. "In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration." @variety.com variety.com/2025/music/n...

Hugely misleading headline in the Daily Mail. This only applies to Indian workers who are seconded to the UK from a company based in India on a short term basis. India nationals applying for jobs based in the UK will not benefit from this convention and it does not disadvantage UK workers

Absolutely excellent piece of work. Lays it all bare. 👏👏👏
