Mark Carney on Elon Musk crippling Ukraine’s Starlink: “I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision… against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of its citizens against naked aggression."

The UK needs much more sustainability in its food supply system and better quality seasonal food for consumers. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This FT interview with Zelenskyy is hard to watch if you care about justice. He rightly warns about Washington's coziness with Moscow and Trump's affinity for autocrats and the ultra-wealthy (Putin #1, Musk #2). All this "business" is paid for with lives. More people need to see it. #Ukraine #Trump

No country has ever walked this path as a former member, already closely aligned and sharing the EU’s values. With the political will, Britain could be back at the table within a single parliament.

For a long time I have heard rumours that you strangle kittens for fun and worship Satan. I have never believed it and still don’t. Am I doing this right?

President Macron, "Welcome back" "If, indeed, the British want to return, and if the Prime Minister is moving in that direction, I think that is very good news both for his country and for Europeans."

Farage posted this at 12.38 today. It has been hopelessly overtaken by events and shown to be entirely wrong (British nationals involved and they've been released on bail - not very terrorist-like). And if you believe anything Trump says, you are a credulous moron.

"Since Healey is in a Labour government that will not slash spending, this means higher taxes. The UK is not in truth a high-tax country, at least by the standards of its European peers. Labour must now dare to recognise that reality." Martin Wolf telling it like it is www.ft.com/content/aa0a....

He commits at least 3 offences right on camera. Criminal damage. Endangering life at sea. Carrying a knife in public. Possession of any offensive weapon. Etc.

The BBC just updates the article but the info is still missing. Mind blowing how the Culture Secretary allows time and again for the BBC to continue with their misinformation.

Rebuilding our relationship with the EU “is the cheapest way to boost the economy, the fastest way to unite Europe in the face of security threats and the best way to get leverage on a global system that no longer has an American anchor.” So obvious it hurts. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Great to see @financialtimes.com following up @lucasamin.bsky.social and @samgelder.bsky.social ‘s excellent reporting on how English police forces are dropping Palantir

I'm pleased this thread has proved so popular it's such an important and relevant bit of history.

Reform have launched an app & game for real-time tracking of boats crossing the channel. But some supporters have said it is boring because so little happens. There were 3 boats in last 7 days www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

GB News only makes £6m a year, it pays Nigel Farage £1m a year, and makes a £36m loss. It isn't even supposed to be allowed to hire MP's. Why is this blatant bribery of a Politician allowed?

So just today: Reform Wales Leader stands down due to arrest 1 Reform Wales defection To Plaid Cymru And 3 more Durham Councillors have now quit. 😂🤣😂

6 months ago: "Nigel Farage pledges to repeal ‘idiotic’ smoking ban if Reform wins next election" Reform 2026 Conference ... What next ... the association of bank robbers sponsors Reform UK, and Farage argues for heists to be legal ...???

What a surprise to learn that a Russian oligarch close to Putin paid for Junior’s lavish wedding. Who could’ve expected it?

Worst president ever with worst cabinet ever with negotiators who are serving Putin.

Remember how keen the BBC were to report on the growth of the far right in Sweden. The actual result was they lost votes and the left made progress. So the result was tucked away on more obscure pages www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

For years, Stephen Lennon has asked supporters to trust him and fund him. A Channel 4 Dispatches investigation, made with HOPE not hate, has raised serious questions about his finances. I’ve added my name calling for a full investigation. Will you? secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/199860/...

"Technically Nigel Farage could have lost, not just the UK election on this, but the French election for the far right too." "That's quite a week's work." How Reform blew it with the French www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/the-...

How has nobody sent me this before? 👏

Truly disgusting social media post from one of Brexit's most influential backers.

Brilliant letter in The Journal 👏 No other policy offers a better way to grow the UK economy than EU membership. Do you want to see your letter in your local paper? Then use our template:

Bill Bryson’s words seem appropriate to post right now

Nadhim Zahawi would be frightened to live in a country run by Nigel Farage. Zahawi has deleted it, but it is too late.

Good Morning from the Daily Sunlit Uplands.

Donald Trump has resorted to posting embarrassing AI-generated videos suggesting his war on Iran is going well after his own military leaders warned against expanding operations in the Middle East.

Data centres are springing up everywhere, using massive amounts of energy and water. I’ve signed @friends-earth.bsky.social’s petition calling for a pause on new data centres until the government gets a grip on the situation. Will you join me? action.friendsoftheearth.uk/petition/put...

Also, didn't Oakeshott take her kids to an Islamic dictatorship (that later became a war zone) just to save money on school fees?

As I board the ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki, I’m reminded yet again of three things about the EU: 1) You don’t sacrifice any of your national identity or culture by being part of the EU. Estonia remains Estonia. Finland remains Finland 2) Schengen is great. 3) Brexit was and is shit.

🗳️ There will be a Westminster Hall Debate on 2 September 2026 on the impact of the 2016 EU membership referendum on the UK. 🇬🇧 It is vital that Britain be honest about the damage done to our country by Brexit. 🇪🇺 EU Membership is vital if Burnham wants to deliver growth to every UK postcode.

We are masters in our own home.

Former Tory minister turned Labour adviser Nick Boles, told The Independent that taking Britain back into the single market would deal a “devastating” blow to the Tories and Nigel Farage’s Reform, and help the PM achieve a legacy to rival Tony Blair... www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

⚠️ Brexit has made us weaker on the world stage. 🏥 That means more concessions, more costs for the NHS.

All those who argued against low emissions zones might like to read this and think hard about whether they are so in favour of clinging to fossilised technology that they are fine with wrecking children's lungs www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Guardian's front page today. Further, faster - good. Now we need to go beyond the red lines. There's no other policy lever available to Burnham that can deliver as much growth - £92 billion - as EU membership.
