Thank god. A great win for Hannah Spencer and the Greens, for #GortonAndDenton and for progressive voters. Made even greater by the huge Reform sulk. And the fact that the hateful Goodwin got whooped.
Now Labour, look to your left because you will not win from the right. We’re sick of that failure.

End the sewage pollution scandal We're sick of it. Sick of the lies, sick of the greed, and sick of a system rigged against us. This is a scandal and this dirty business must end. For more than 30 years water companies have put corpo...

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?

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals.

Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’.

What, Michelle? 🧵

Firm linked to Baroness Michelle Mone must pay £122m after breaching Covid PPE contract, judge rules The government wins its case against PPE Medpro - part of a consortium led by Baroness Mone's husband - after it supplied non-compliant gowns in 2020.

PPE fraud comes home to roost!

It's no surprise that Nigel Farage hardly ever bothers to visit Clacton or turn up at Parliament. When he was an MEP, his attendance record was 748th out of 751. He's a workshy grifting gobshite.

This too should be in the Media non-stop for a week until Nigel Farage is forced to resign.

This is how dictatorships behave

Research posts on Bluesky are more original — and get better engagement Bluesky posts about science garner more likes and reposts than similar ones on X.

Bluesky is better than Twitter for academic research discussions.

I thought this headline was a joke when I first read it, but no…it's real. I've signed a petition telling Ofgem to reject Musk's application to supply electricity to British households. Will you join me and add your name?

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.

No refugee underfunded a school.

No refugee closed a hospital.

No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.

We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

But a non-horsey one!

Hope it continues to go well! My 10-year-old metal/ceramic hip is great.

FIFA should pull all of the 2026 World Cup matches scheduled to be played on US soil & reassign them to venues in Canada.

That includes the World Cup final scheduled to be played at the Meadowlands.

This is not a country suited to host an international event now & won’t be until 2029.

A *third* of the Commons has called on the PM to recognise Palestine as a state. Never seen anything quite like this.

The way that I was raised, being Jewish meant believing that every human life was sacred; to save a single human life meant saving all of humanity. That no law or ritual was more important than saving a single human life.

It's unfathomable that any Jew can accept what Israel is doing in Gaza.

In all but name: is Gaza Britain’s undeclared war? Britain isn’t just watching Gaza burn – it’s helping fuel the fire, with weapons, intelligence, and silence

This article…

… is, by a long way, the clearest account of the UK government’s complicity in Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza that I have ever read.

Please read and share.

The story I heard concerned a Japanese businessman who was told we were going to make our universities more businesslike.

His response: why would you do that? Your universities are excellent and your businesses are rubbish.

But we appointed the wrong people and pressed ahead.

Looting at Thames Water

Net assets in 1990, £1,329m;
2024, £1,301m;
2025, £359m negative - liabilities exceed assets

NO shareholder investment since privatisation?

Dividends £10.4bn.

Can't rebuild water services without ending privatisation.

Water Commission didn't spot looting,

I really don't want to go through the whole rigmarole of seeing Farage win power and then fuck everything up and have loads of sympathetic voxpops with dismayed Reform voters expressing their regrets when it was extremely fucking obvious what would happen because his platform is incoherent garbage
