Brexiters continue to defy all logic - enraged about marmalade, still silent about the colossal economic damage caused by Brexit

Article by our Vice Chair @lisaburton.bsky.social

Reform UK Limited likes to present itself to British voters as championing freedom and common sense, but behind the slogans lies a network of ideas and alliances that should alarm anyone who cares about women’s rights

Of course Reform will come after same sex marriage, just as they will with abortion

Their world view is structured around ensuring straight white men, no matter how useless or unfit, are elevated to the top of society whilst everyone else is under their boot!

How Reform UK’s ‘family friendly’ agenda threatens women and girls With Reform UK still polling highly, we take a hard look at what the party’s politics could mean for abortion, contraception and motherhood

100% agree on both. I wrote this article for Intl Women’s Day. Reform UK likes to present itself to British voters as championing freedom and common sense, but behind the slogans lies a network of ideas and alliances that should alarm anyone who cares about women’s rights

A screenshot of Twitter user Connor Holland saying: “Why do we allow people with a foreign birthplace or ancestry to make decisions for us. They recent us and are working towards the destruction of Great Britain.” He includes a screenshot of a list of “MPs and Lords of foreign descent attempting to silence Nick Timothy MP”.

Within just 48 hours of the Tories refusing to sack Nick Timothy for his Islamophobic comments, the far-right is circulating a list of MPs “of foreign descent” trying to “silence” him. [1/2]

Orban is blackmailing and threatening Ukraine. His entire campaign is attacking Zelenskyy. All because he’s in bed with russia. Kremlin election meddlers have been spotted with him.

He is desperately clinging to power to avoid jail for corruption where he belongs.

Delighted to have my article selected by @bylinesnetwork.co.uk as this weeks ‘best of bylines’

How Reform UK’s ‘pro-family’ rhetoric is a clear threat to women and girls.

The warning signs are already visible. The question now is whether we take them seriously or wait until it’s too late

Complaining about & blaming Keir Starmer for a long-scheduled, still uncertain, six month distant increase in fuel prices literally *hours* after calling for more war in the Middle East is quite the flex. These are not serious people.

Wonderful. I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with @caolanrob.bsky.social the award winning journalist who did this interview on a @marchforrejoin.co.uk podcast

He’s one to follow, particularly on YouTube for on the ground reporting from Ukraine youtu.be/hYa7H1EmpCM?...

Wow! I would say someone needs to seriously investigate this but we know that won’t happen.

Nope apparently not! 😳

I would really like to understand why the Pentagon would order lobster tail this way? Is it not feasible to feed the military on what the country eats? I have never had a lobster tail and I have never wanted one simply because I understand. I eat what keeps me happy and healthy not fat and greedy

If a mother knows that much, what else doesn’t she know. Scary.

My piece for International Women’s Day piece for @yorkshirebylines.co.uk

Their ‘pro family’ agenda is a direct threat to women and girls

Warning signs are already visible. The question is whether we take them seriously or wait until it’s too late.

Very much looking forward to this on Thursday eve!

Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK.

Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy.

Cotton’s future beyond climate rollbacks The US rollback of climate protections can't disguise that climate-resilient cotton offers a path to protect farmers and supply chains.

It's hard to find some optimism around climate action and cotton at the moment, so I worked extra hard on this column (after looking at some of the implications of the US rescinding of the endangerment finding) 1/ www.ecotextile.com/202603106199...

🤣 nothing would surprise me

I don’t understand… how is this even possible?

Pentagon budget under Pete Hegseth spends £93 billion in one month … wow, ok

But $2 million on crab and $7 million on lobster tails in ONE month! Very fishy indeed!

British businesses need a better deal with Europe Sign our petition to Prime Minister Keir Starmer and demand a better deal for British businesses trading with Europe

I've just signed a petition, will you?

Being outside of the EU has been a catastrophe for Britain & its businesses, with unnecessary trade barriers, checks, paperwork, delays, lost investment, lost growth, lost jobs and business, and a divergence of rules

This is an absolutely huge jump in oil prices.

It's also why Europe needs to get off fossil fuels asap (beyond climate change impact). We can't be beholden to this.

We are being dragged backwards by a hypermasculinated political climate, 'manosphere' influencers and 'strongman' nationalism

A new Ipsos study conducted in 29 countries points to a striking trend: the younger the respondents, the more conservative their views on gender roles.

Wow. What a panel of guests. Really look forward to watching and hearing the conversation.

With this panel, you know this webinar will be amazing

The TRUTH about this week’s asylum changes YouTube video by Zoe Gardner

The Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood sure has put on a show…

But how much is really serious & how much is just a theatre of cruelty?

Here’s the TRUTH about this week’s asylum changes

Most Reform members believe non-white UK citizens born abroad should be forced or encouraged to leave, poll finds Nigel Farage’s recent efforts to woo centre-ground voters may cause tension in party’s right flank, says Hope Not Hate

Well, there's a surprise... and apparently Farage is trying to "woo centre ground voters." The idea of Farage trying to woo anything, is enough to put you off your breakfast.

Yes, let’s see if a left progressive party, who stands up to billionaires gets propelled onto every slot available slot compared to a far right regressive party who supports billionaires.

Spain’s PM Sanchez standing up to Trump and referencing the Iraq war. Here’s what he said.

Very proud of my host nation on many fronts.

I know! I saw that earlier. Not surprised. There’s only one way the far right go. More and more extreme.
