But on a visit to the former railway town last month, the outlook for Sir Keir and his party was bleak. "I'll be voting for Reform - it can't get any worse," said pensioner John Doult, until now a lifelong Labour voter who was among the thousands employed in the town's once-famous car industry. The 86-year-old bemoaned the "terrible" state of the town centre,

“I’ll be voting for Reform - it can’t get any worse”

Oh it really can.

You put a bunch of corrupt, racist, incompetent, lying Trumpists in charge and things will get very much worse.
Potholes and empty shops will feel unimportant compared to the loss of the NHS, social care and a torched economy.

Yes it’s all very nice but did you know someone has set fire to your trousers?😳

Newsgroup published their annual accounts on Tues.

What's interesting about that?
They suffered a pre-tax loss of £53m

So here's a question for the intellectually curious:

Why does Rupert Murdoch keep this failing biz running?
Why does Paul Marshall keep GB News going?

Will presumably stand when he has finished his homework.

Nigel Farage runs away from a man who calls him a millionaire scrounger.

I find it so absurd when Reform fanatics say Nigel Farage wasn’t responsible for Brexit. Wasn’t his party then called the Brexit Party? Great Britain is poorer because of him 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🫖☕️

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 stamp duty on her flat, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should immediately resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he personally made £91,000 in excess payments by failing to pay the tax his company legally owed

Infographic with a picture of Tom Walker, aka Jonathan Pie, accompanied by a quote from a YouTube clip dated February 2025: "I do think it’s reasonable to not expect your water bills to rise knowing your daily morning dump will still be floating in the English Channel by teatime.”

The Jonathan Pie rants are satire, but the water companies' shocking treatment of our rivers and seas is deadly serious.

Between 2025-2030, £22 BILLION of billpayers’ money will go straight into the pockets of private investors - double the amount they took between 2020-24.

Privatisation is a con.

Do you think that our politicians should be able to receive donations from people+organisations linked to the private health sector? 🚨 If your answer is “no!” then please donate to keep our work going.

We’re raising the alarm because everyone deserves to know what’s going on…

In a functioning government he would be forced to resign for trying to profit off this ill-planned and bad choice war. Yet, here. Crickets.

“Same crime, different penalty. That is not justice, it is one more step toward apartheid. The world cannot remain silent.”

‘The tide is turning’, Green party leader tells crowd at march against far right – as it happened Organisers claim half a million people are marching through central London, protesting against the rise of the far right

How can the BBC justify how much coverage they give other marches which are significantly smaller in size?

The bias is so obviously blatant.

Still not sure why we're putting Daily Mail *and* journalist in the same sentence?

They protect power and wealth of their owner at all costs. That's all.

Media reform to stop a tiny amount of people owning the vast majority of our media urgently needed.

8 Million protesters yesterday at #NoKings.

No police beaten with flag poles.
No fire extinguishers thrown at other humans.
No vandalism or theft.
No racist flags.
No zip ties.
No death threats.
No pipe bombs.
No poop smeared on walls.

That's what happens when mature, civilized people protest.

82% of Britain’s electricity is currently zero carbon.

This is an incredible achievement of which we should be rightly proud and motivated to go further, faster.

Instead, we’ve got fossil fuelled politicians telling us we should be focusing on 93% depleted North Sea oil & gas.

You couldn’t make it up

Channel 4’s Dirty Business is a clarion call to nationalise the water industry As the drama shows, private firms no longer able to pollute the coast of England of Wales just switched to rivers instead

“Sewage pollution is at record levels, companies are staggering under debts of £60bn accrued in part to pay shareholder dividends of £78bn and infrastructure has been left to rot.”

Matt Goodwin, Monday morning:

Having read this, I can assure you that there are teams of crack groups of medical scientists, assembled from Ireland’s leading universities & teaching hospitals, who plan to bestride the world & find every male member of the Fitzgerald Kennedy family to castrate them, for the good of humanity*

Trump at wartime

There is an element of truth in the cartoon that makes the situation truly pathetic. Our sons and daughters are the cannon fodder for the sons and daughters of the oligarchs!

Restoring Britain’s hedgerows: Why Wimpole Estate’s 10-year plan matters Wimpole Estate’s hedgerow restoration is reviving wildlife habitats, protecting farmland, and proving why informed hedge management matters

If your local hedges look neat & tidy, they might be in trouble. Britain has already lost 118,000 miles of hedgerows.

Hedgerows protect soil, crops & entire ecosystems & require careful & informed hedge management.

This restoration project offers a rare answer - hope.

again I point out how strange it is that high-level diplomatic negotiations of war and peace are being conducted by freelancers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, both of whom have egregious conflicts of interest, and not the actual secretary of state
