"Low-income households will get [free] plug-in solar panels to cut their energy bills, the Government has announced."
This is how you do a just transition.

French polymath Clémence Royer was born 196 years ago today. Now she is most known for her 1862 translation of On the Origin of Species which pushed Darwin's ideas into the realm of human evolution, but in her day she was celebrated for her encyclopedic knowledge.

"Palantir is not just a problem of profiteering from our national healthcare system— it's a fundamental threat to the democratic control of our public infrastructure + the privacy of every citizen. By giving our taxes to this company, we are aiding their operations everywhere."

Farage pays only in illegal crypto from Thailand, and only to his old friends.
"Labour’s great green energy plan could be a legacy as vital as the NHS".
I agree. More power to Ed Miliband's elbow. Sod the haters in the rightwing press. They hate him because he's winning.

In a nutshell. 😊
He was allowed to become Foreign Sec, validated the people who’d warned he was a security risk at the Lebedev’s villa, yet still got to be PM & put Lebedev Jr. in the HoL against security advice.
The 🇬🇧 establishment is profoundly unserious about national security.

In short Rayner had to resign due to concerted media & political pressure over a single stamp duty mistake. Millionaire Tice bankrolled his party through deliberate, dodgy, tax-avoiding corporate tricks and yet the media pressure is limited to a few outlets.

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
Dear fellow Brits, from this Brit-American:
Please don't come here. It's dangerous. You may be targeted, arrested and unlawfully detained - likely courtesy of ICE - without access to legal representation.
I've told my family to stay away.
Please boycott America. 🇬🇧💙

The Press knew. They laughed.
The Tories knew. They didn’t care.
All I see now is hypocrisy.
Reform has fallen to 15% in Scotland — their lowest in over a year.
They've lost their national lead for the first time.
Neil Kinnock called them a "posh boys club" with "no design, no practical plan."
Their flagship council is a "horror show."
Is the bubble bursting?
Let's hope so 🙏
On the topic of vetting rows, shouldn't there be calls for Farage to resign given how many dire candidates have actually passed Refuk's vetting...?
Many of us lost loved ones to Covid and many of us struggled with the virus when we caught it.
People claiming it was a "staged event" are dangerous conspiracy theorists who don't care at all about the victims of that terrible event. The idea they're standing as representatives is horrific.

This a great opportunity to make impact for a talented big tech campaigner. If you know someone it could fit, please share. Thanks! 👇

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs.
Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026.
This is what corporate greed looks like.
The Turkish power plant vessel Belgin Sultan has arrived in Cuba to help with energy crisis.
These powerships are designed for quick deployment (often within weeks) to address energy crises, connecting directly to local grids via high-voltage cables.
TRANSLATION TO MAGA LANGUAGE: FUCK YOU TRUMP!
One of the Reform candidates in Epping is evoking her "great grandfather who fought in World War Two" as the reason to vote for her in the upcoming elections and I'm very sorry to the people of South London for the language you just heard... could not stop myself
