Open statement by leading environmentalists demands government action over “toxic cocktail of chemicals” spread on British farmland | Fighting Dirty In the UK, we have a dirty secret that’s recently been brought into the light. Sewage sludge, we now know, contains far more than just human waste. Not only does a wide range of synthetic chemicals po...

Here's the Open Statement on sludge spreading launched by us at Fighting Dirty, and signed by many leading figures. The water companies are using farmland as a dump for hazardous chemicals. They mislead farmers, poison the land and threaten our health. It must stop. fightingdirty.org/open-stateme...

Definitely Nationwide!

No second state visit for Trump This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

4m votes, 5 seats. That's what Reform got. Despite huge disproportionate media coverage, the president of the USA promoting them, Twitter and it's owner promoting them.

It's time to get off our knees and fight these idiots.

Time to fight fire with fire.

Let's go!

Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic' Journalists are finding more readers and less hate on Bluesky than on the platform they used to know as Twitter.

JOURNALISTS FLOCK TO BLUESKY

“We have posts exactly the same on Twitter & on Bluesky & Bluesky is getting 20 times the engagement or more than Twitter. Seeing a social media platform that doesn’t throttle links really makes it clear how badly we were being limited”

The Five Questions Nigel Farage is Never Asked About Brexit, Trump and Russia As the media provides the Reform Leader with a prominent platform once more during this general election campaign, Peter Jukes considers all the concerning lines of enquiry that journalists never conf...

Since Nigel Farage has just sided with Russia again, and said “the idea Ukraine is going to win, frankly, is for the birds,” it’s time to re-ask those five questions he’s never asked about his support for Vladimir Putin 1/6

Farage’s campaign against the WHO linked to vaping lobbyists that won’t reveal funders - Good Law Project The MP for Clacton has started targeting the World Health Organisation with the support of vaping and novel nicotine lobbyists – but his new pressure group refuses to reveal who’s funding them.

It's unlawful - even criminal - to have hidden funders if you are an influencer selling toasters. Why is it lawful to have hidden funders if you are Nigel Farage selling ideas? https://buff.ly/3CNQiN8
