FACTS:

Net Zero barely nudges your bill.

Fossil‑fuel wars send it through the roof.

So when Farage and his ilk slags off renewables while fanning conflict, remember who actually hikes your costs.

A private jet used for Farage’s Chagos stunt is reportedly linked to a billionaire donor who has given £12m to Reform

Huge money can buy political influence.

The #ElectionsBill must go further. Democracy shld be shaped by voters not the biggest cheque.

Sad news for the voters of Clacton who were hoping Farage would be able to bend the POTUS’ ear about fortnightly bin collections.

An illegal war by USA & Israel, propped up by missions from UK air bases.

Supported by Nigel Farage.

Over 1000 civilians dead & now the threat of global economic fallout. Trump's disaster makes us all less safe, less secure - and we will remember those who backed it.

Once upon a time he was their ‘monster of delusion’…

Now we’re back here again and the right‑wing press are on his side.

These papers are a disgrace.

A Reform government will display Union flags on everything, right up until we replace them when we become the 51st state of America.

The first lesson of war is ‘know your enemy’ – and Britain’s enemy now is Donald Trump | Simon Tisdall As the Iran disaster escalates, the US president should be seen as an enemy whose actions threaten the lawful, democratic way of life everywhere, says Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdall

Tired: “We have been at war with Iran since 1979.”

Wired: "We have been at war with Iran since 1947.”

Inspired: “We have always been at war with Iran.”

Perhaps Labour should also take heed of what happens to a traditional party
(SPD) if you consistently abandon your core voters and principles.

Did #bbclaurak speak in these emotive terms about Palestinians in body bags? Did she ask the Israeli president (who was also on the program this morning) about footage & images she's seen from Gaza & ask how on earth he justifies that?

Of course she didn't.

Rep. Lieu calls for a new investigation into Epstein’s death after released documents show a prison guard responsible for checking on him deposited $5000 into her account 10 days before his death and googled him right before he was found.

@lewisgoodall.com instead of trying to score cheap shots regarding the Dragon when speaking to Yvette Cooper, I suggest to listen back to the interview @mrjamesob.bsky.social did with Calvin Bailey MP on Friday. Attempting a gotcha moment is extemely tedious, you're better that Sir 😏

Texas GOP Candidate Recreated MLK Assassination, Reviewed Shooter’s Rifle Brandon Herrera then shot the MLK target dummy at close range

The GOP has a new candidate for Texas-23, Brandon Herrera. In addition to being a Mein Kampf-brandishing admirer of Adolf Hitler, Herrera is also well known for organizing a recreation of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr in which he gleefully pulled the trigger.

quite apart from Kemi Badenoch's dismal performance on BBC Breakfast, minimising the work of the RAF, she spoke of Labour 'not being built' for conflict because they came into power to do things like 'breakfast clubs' in such a disparaging way, like feeding kids is a joke ambition

I couldn't appear on the Laura Kuenssberg show as I'm in the US doing important work for my Clacton constituents, who want me to undermine the UK by sucking up to an unhinged authoritarian pedo.

I thought the best person to talk to Laura Kuenssberg about the important moral and ethical issues of the day would be Robert Jenrick, the man who overruled a planning decision to save a billionaire pornographer £45m in exchange for a £12,000 donation.

Councillor Chris Large's departure from Reform a mystery Neither Reform UK or Chris Large have commented on why he is no longer a member of the party.

Apart from the face we exposed him as supporting racist supporters on his TikTok, and then he lied about being hacked…

Hitting desalination plants is so bad. Not just evil but strategically incomprehensible. Without desalination 75% of the entire population of the Middle East will be refugees. Israel and Kuwait depend on desalination for 90% of their water and other Middle East states aren’t far behind.

The whole American regime is truly repellent and so are the voices over here baying to follow their lead.

What a perverse world we live in when gas prices are the factor that might push the American public against war not the cost of human live or environmental impact.

Asked if the US attacked a desalination plant in Iran, Pres. Trump says Iranians are "among the most evil people ever on earth."
"They cut babies' heads off—they chop women in half..."
"I know nothing about a desalinization plant, other than to say, if they're complaining about a desalinization plant, we complain about the fact they shouldn't be chopping babies' heads off."
Trump envoy Steve Witkoff and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth can be seen nodding in agreement.

A pretty clear demonstration here of how the lies told to sell the destruction of the Gaza Strip to the public helped to create the structure of impunity required to destroy as much as possible of other countries too
