I just signed the Greenpeace petition calling on the government to power the UK with homegrown renewables. Every conflict abroad sends our energy bills soaring at home. The only way out is cheaper, safer renewable energy. Will you join me in demanding an end to the fossil fuel cost chaos?

The Press knew. They laughed.

The Tories knew. They didn’t care.

All I see now is hypocrisy.

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

Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

BREAKING - Zarah Sultana MP exercises Parliamentary Privilege to expose the unjust nature of the Filton 24 re-trial.

UK press has been court ordered not to publish these details.

“If convicted, they and 18 others will be sentenced as terrorists, but the jury will not be told that”

So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….

"I'm just contemplating the fact that one moron, one psychotic moron, one capricious idiot, has completely bollocksed up the global economy not only to the detriment of his own people, but the detriment of the planet. ... It's like how much more of this can the planet take?"

I knew it was bad but really didn’t appreciate it was quite this bad

Americans don't know the reasons Iran hates the US. In 1951 Iran's democracy elected Mohammed Mossadegh. The CIA & British intelligence staged a coup, installed a dictator who tortured and killed people.

It goes on from there.

The tribunal ordered the business to pay £1,800 to make up for the unpaid maternity pay, as well as £400 in unpaid wages and £1,120 in unpaid holiday pay."

Protest Is Not a Privilege Next week, MPs will vote on a bill to give police unprecedented powers to ban recurring protests, turning a fundamental freedom into a privilege granted by the state. It must be opposed.

Boston could face immediate consequences if TPS ends for Haitians, officials warn - The Boston Globe The city is home to 3,700 TPS-protected Haitians, who are a major part of the workforce, city councilors said Thursday.

Our Haitian neighbors are deeply rooted in our communities and essential to our economy.

And terminating TPS for Haiti would be devastating & destabilizing, especially in Boston.

That's why we're fighting hard to extend Haiti TPS and we're closer than ever to getting it done.

Hours after a ceasefire was announced, Israel launched over 100 strikes across Lebanon, killing more than 300 civilians and injuring over 1,000 in a matter of minutes. The scale of civilian harm is unacceptable.

The only president stupid enough to do it.

Labour's blocked Sudanese individuals from using alternate routes to seek asylum, so of course they have to use irregular routes. Gang members, on the whole, aren't piloting small boats. They force those attempting to seek asylum to do so. This is likely another case of a victim being prosecuted. 3/

Prosecutors target smuggled people who were forced to pilot small boats Campaigners say Ibrahima Bah should be treated as a victim of trafficking after he was forced to steer a boat. Instead he faces at least six years in jail

More often than not those piloting small boats are forced into doing so by the gangs. They are either beaten themselves, or have family members threatened if they try and refuse to be a small boat pilot. Essentially they are being prosecuted for being victims. 2/

Look, we don't yet know the full details here, but let's base this in the statistical likelihood, which means a Sudanese individual, a nationality with around 94-98% acceptance rate for asylum, has been arrested. Here's the thing, again statistical likelihood...1/

Just a reminder—as we’re all reacting to the First Lady’s statement on the Epstein files yesterday.

This guy is still serving in the administration.

Absolutely remarkable statement from Pope Leo today.
One for the history books

Gustavo Petro speaking at the UN

Most world leaders claim to care about climate. Colombia actually stopped issuing oil and gas licences. Every single one. Not a single new permit under Petro's watch.

His term ends in 2026. Every right-wing candidate running to replace him has promised to reverse it immediately. 😱

Do not assume Viktor Orbán will just accept an electoral defeat.

A regime that spent 16 years grabbing power might very well attempt a coup.

The margin of victory cannot be close.

The win must be absolutely too big to rig

More than 50 young asylum seekers have died in UK since 2015, data shows Figures gathered from children’s services and health trusts show 31 deaths were suicides, including six in under-18s

This just shows the utter lack of care and consideration given about young people seeking asylum. It isn't limited to any one government. They are all as bad. We are seeing Labour showing the exact same lack of concern for their welfare as Conservatives did.

"Mr Polanski’s appearance on eve of the poll for the Cliftonville division at Kent County Council is another clear sign of how seriously the party is taking the contest."

This was a Reform seat. Taking them on here is a big ask. Vote Green on Thursday!

What a f*cking waste of lives and money. 😠

Before posting, don't forget to let
Reform Ltd & Nigel Farage know
your heart-felt feelings about them
