The Independent has released an "exclusive" on the "true scale" of Reform UK's overseas donations. I've reported on this extensively for two years, but others have tackled it in various ways since Nick Sommerlad and I first broke the tax-haven links scoop in 2024: www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

The BBC needs to provide an explanation for this.

This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.

'too deranged for the Telegraph' is a very fitting epitaph for the worst PM of my lifetime:

First Orban, now Vučić. Both fundamentally undone by rank corruption of their regimes. Which is so often the reality of the authoritarian right in power. Really worth paying heed to in Western Europe right now

🧵 Wow - this article is bordering on unhinged! Apparently the BBC is akin to a “North Korean re-education camp” for teaching children about net-zero and covering both the pros AND cons of immigration Join me for a masterclass in cherry-picking and context stripping to brainwash your own readers👍🏻

Sometimes it just dawns on me how deeply weird and wild this situation is. A company making a crappy, unchecked and badly designed product, but thanks to pre-existing science fiction narratives they can aggressively tout their own failures and inadequacies as reasons for self-regulation

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

Lula loops !! Brilliant news !! 👏 #lula #brazil

The man of the century... Thank you America. You were hated by so many for so many reasons. Now given a focal point that will never be bettered. The worst man alive for the worst country. Bravo.

Here's a supercut of notable moments from Trump's rally tonight in Georgia, including a lot of gutter racism, blasphemy, and reveling in the suffering of Americans who are struggling with high prices:

Taxing the rich is absolutely essential to saving our economy and our democracy. Don't believe me? Look at this chart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHmiaRj_voY

Someone wants something out of Texas, and I think it has to do with billions and billions and billions of dollars that Donald J Trump promised him.

Raskin: “Donald Trump, he's now out of the closet. I mean, he's absolutely a collaborator with Vladimir Putin and Erdogan and, you know, the other despots of the world against democracy and human rights.”

I mean… How long do we have to put up with this shit? We really do get it. Farage’s greed makes him an insane security threat. And there’s absolutely nothing altruistic or democratic or good for the country that will come from his frenzied corruption. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Jackdaw offers just 27 jobs, 35 million tonnes of carbon, and no change to energy security or bills. Greens offer a different vision. Our own homegrown, renewable energy, creating thousands of British jobs and investing in our children's futures. join.greenparty.org.uk

You don’t fight fascists by pretending their ‘concerns’ are ‘legitimate’.

Child rapist does not care about child rape. America...Fuck yeah!

Ranvir Singh this morning: "9 million people in the UK, I find it obscene, in 2026 are on the verge of or already using foodbanks" Meanwhile the richest 50 families have more wealth than half the population. The levels of inequality in this country are staggering.

Remember: If your vote didn't matter, billionaires wouldn't be spending their fortunes trying to buy our elections. Stay calm, support good candidates, do whatever you can to get out the vote, and vote as soon as you can. Don't let Big Money win.

Jared Kushner’s hacked iPhone revealed he promised MBS and MBZ he would push their agenda with Trump if they participated in a secret fund, with the two royals initially discussing over $10B before ultimately placing at least $2B into his accounts. Paywalled, use archive. archive.ph/FHGAt

He’s gonna end up over half a billion. And that’s not counting the in-kind contributions from the media platform he owns.

This guy needs to go to jail. He needs to be questioned, under oath, then indicted, then tried, then jailed.

Wow. So sorry for my American friends. This orange shit stain will forever blight your country. Even if the Democrats clear up in November and 2028 we are only a bad economic turn or 4 years away from an even more batshit crazy Republican taking over again. USA is done...

This won't go anywhere, obviously, but it's still a useful indication of how they'd act if they ever get into Government. Locking up journalists would just be the start

That's how you do headlines and news. America, take note!

What does Kemi Badenoch think the level of immigration should be? Is everybody in the media & politics going to act surprised when the year to June 2026 statistic (on Nov 26th) falls below net 100k for first time this century Best estimate of net migration *now* (4th Q 2026) is zero, or negative

Government support for drilling at #Jackdaw takes a wrecking ball to any pretence of UK climate leadership & pours fuel on an overheating world - and for what? It’s equivalent to just 2 months of UK gas demand, creates just 27 direct jobs & has *no* impact on energy bills🧵1/4

Meta gave $1M to Trump's inauguration fund — and Mark Zuckerberg himsef has helped bankroll Trump's ballroom. Now Trump's DOJ has halted a years-long criminal investigation into allegedly enabling and profiting from illegal drug sales on its platforms. Funny how that works, huh?

Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

Ramaswamy is a sick, morally bankrupt piece of shit exploiting a woman’s rape at age 12 to win an election. He gave her estranged, abusive mother a platform to weaponize her childhood trauma. There is something profoundly fucking wrong with this man. He has no business holding public office. 🤬

We have a crisis of inequality in this country. It has been fed by successive governments taxing work, not wealth. This government could change that - but it looks like they won’t…

This is disgusting. But even though this is presumably what Trump wanted to happen, seems inevitable (and indeed desirable) that control over where Starlink operates will be taken over by the US government. Absolutely insane that Musk could make this decision privately.

Finneas (Billie Eilish's brother) who was one of the first to leave Ed Sheeran's concert after Palestine was censored, RT this. "I'd rather see the world set ablaze in protest than watch it die under the boot of fascists and pedophiles."

PM Burnham to deal with "nuisance behaviour" where loud music upsets middle-class white folk. PM Burnham takes no action to deal with hundreds of balaclava masked men running around looking for black/brown folk on whom to express their "legitimate concerns". www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

In India the leaders of the Cockroach youth movement have been arrested, along with more than 1,000 protesters, opposition politicians, journalists, student union leaders & lawyers; New Delhi is in lockdown. The police have prevented mass protests against the country’s election chief taking place.
