Of course, it always was. However truth is an alien concept to Tories as are mildly complex facts and broader context to Brexiteers.
Great article by #JonDanzig "Brexiters claim the EU is run by unelected bureaucrats. It’s untrue. The EU is a democracy, run by elected politicians." eu-rope.ideasoneurope.eu/2025/02/13/t...

UK govt can get information about your bank accounts if you get universal credit, pension credit, employment support allowance. Court order not needed. You won't be told, can't appeal. Same won't apply to enablers of illicit financial flows. No financial privacy for old, poor, sick, unfortunate.

no kings includes billionaires who think they’re kings
Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

So, finally, a PM who admits there **was** Russian interference in the Brexit Referendum — after all the evidence amassed by myself @carolecadwalla.bsky.social @lukeharding1968.bsky.social Sergei Cristo, J Patrick et al — dismissed as conspiracy for ten long years Truth is the daughter of Time

It’s a badge of honour for @bylinetimes.bsky.social to be banned from Reform and Conservative conferences - like being banned by Russia or China, it says more about them, than the journalists. Also, so ironic that the parties which waffle on about freedom of speech are the most scared of it.
In addition to being the UK's most Kremlin-sanctioned newspaper, Byline Times has now been banned two years running from both Conservative and Reform UK party conferences. Judge us by our critics, and subscribe to support our work: subscribe.bylinetimes.com @peterjukes.bsky.social

The @telegraph.co.uk decided not to publish our response to Tim Stanley’s 13 September piece, in which he called those organising the EU flags at the Proms “sad sack Remainers”. We believe in open dialogue and free speech, so we’ve published our response here... #LastNightOfTheProms

Crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne has now matched Ben Delo's record-breaking £36m donation to Reform, months after Nigel Farage's party promised to slash crypto sales taxes in half Reform UK is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the crypto industry www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/reform-uk-...

Reform UK have just received £72million from just two men. Just 6 months ago we revealed Ben Delo’s secretive crypto political base hosting ‘anti-woke’ and rightwing activists in the heart of Westminster. Read more here: investigations.hopenothate.org.uk/the-sanctuary/

Reform is owned by a few money laundering crypto billionaires. Farage is their greedy little broker. Happy to sell our country out to make even more money for the global tax-avoiding super-rich. Screw everyone else. Screw our rights. Screw our kids’ futures. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/reform-uk-...

Politicians and commentators have talked London down for far too long. Today’s research from Kings College shows just how far lies about our city have spread. But Londoners know the truth and we’re fighting back.

This is a disgrace. Brave RNLI volunteers being called scum for risking their lives to save others at sea is just plain wrong. So I've signed an open letter of thanks for the RNLI letting them know these thugs do not speak for the rest of us. Add your name? act.38degrees.org.uk/act/rnli-tha...

With the RNLI amid a "traitor" hate campaign against the charity over migrants rescue, we reflect again on the bravery of the volunteers who selflessly go out to sea in all weather to save human life.
Presumably for the #ReformUK conference. Fartage ‘ i have no knowledge of anything’ . www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Mayor of West Yorkshire speaks the truth.
They take the dividends; we deal with the sewage. That is water privatisation in a nutshell Thank you @mayorofwy.bsky.social for being so vocal about the disaster of water privatisation Take action now to help pressure Andy Burnham to end water privatisation: vist.ly/5gpdv
We’re being robbed in broad daylight.
England's water companies have nearly 1,200 criminal convictions. Fines announced, quietly deferred/waived. No exec prosecuted. Regulator can ban exec bonuses. Companies reclassify exec bonuses as “retention payments” and “signing-on fees”. No action taken No end to abuses. Nationalise water.
A criminal situation
UK households have the most expensive energy bill in Europe. In 2024 energy companies made £30bn profit. Profit margins, 23%-38%. £500 of average household bill is profit. Profiteering is a bigger factor in household bills than green levies. Nationalise energy to cut household/business costs

Not sure it's that shocking. Kemi Badenoch is linked to fossil fuel donors and anti-net-zero lobbyists. She and the Tories cannot be trusted at all.
This is shocking. The Conservatives' new energy plan goes way past scrapping net zero – they actually want to put emissions up. After a summer of wildfires, it seems the Conservatives have completely given up on the environment and are just taking orders from Donald Trump.
