The Telegraph did a deep dive into Ed Miliband, they got in contact to ask me what I thought of the energy secretary. Me and Ed don’t always agree, that’s natural, but there’s no doubt he’s getting stuff done and the country is better off having him.

This is how the corruption starts...
so using what should have been government tax income to fund Reform UK
Wes Streeting supports welfare cuts to fund defence.
He lets private equity make billions from outsourcing NHS, social care.
Silence on corporate welfare spending.
Since 2010 HMRC failed to collect £500bn in taxes. Capital gains and dividends taxed at lower rates than wages.
😾🇬🇧😾🇬🇧😾🇬🇧😾🇬🇧😾
TWO things i found on Threads that made me stop and think.
1. Confirmation that the media is biased against Labour and are working actively to bring it and SKS down
2. No surprise. Now imagine how Farage, the media darling, or any of his scummy crew would fare.
Hungary, welcome back 🇭🇺🇪🇺
This is a turning point for Europe. The times of autocratic backsliding must be over. We look to a brighter and united future.
Defending rule of law, freedom and democracy.
Tonight, we celebrate in the streets of Budapest.
This is key to political understanding: austerity causes a rise in support for the far right.
BTW, austerity is *not over*, unless you accept the meaningless official definition. A meaningful definition is "a decline in public services caused by a shortfall in funding". catherinedevries.eu/NHS.pdf
Reform UK Nottinghamshire County Council FOI shows the total cost of providing refreshments, biscuits, and cakes that are applicable to the Reform UK group from May 2025 to 31 March 2026 is £5,357.92.

The far right pretending it’s the voice of the “ordinary people,”
yet every policy they push
protects wealth, punishes vulnerability, and sells fear as identity. #Antifascism
It would be catastrophically unwise for the rest of NATO to treat the US as a meaningful collective security partner while the Trump administration is in office. It's a nightmare scenario for Europe but it's where we are, as Europeans have increasingly recognised.
oopsies
Reform UK's poll score is now heading downwards very quickly. Turns out that being really unpleasant, remaining disorganised, having loads of skeletons in their closet, being reliant on a very unpopular leader and hating almost everything the public thinks doesn't work for long. Who knew eh.
He’s Reform UK’s “chief of policy”. He wants to ban abortion in the UK even in cases of r**e or incest.
..oh, and the BBC still put him on screen.
Richard Tice dodged £600,000 in Corporation Tax by registering his UK based Quidnet Capital Real Estate Firm in a trust.
This is who Reform are, tax dodging scum, who can't wait to change the rules so they can all be billionaires and you can have nothing.
So sad what Trump has done to the USA
AMERICANS STILL HAVE NO IDEA what an insidious totalitarian tyrannical mass surveillance prison police state now being implemented by the illegitimate Putin/Trump/Miller//GOP/Project 2025 criminal corporate fascists. Just like shit-hole Russia, N Korea, NAZI Germany.
RESIST PUTIN/TRUMP’S FASCISM!
If you have time to read only the first paragraph of this wise and thoughtful cry from the heart, please do.
I think, @acgrayling.bsky.social , you speak for many of us: thank you.

UK used to be in the top seat at the top table in the EU...
Supertweet
That'd be Trump's buddy Putin.
Should've stuck with Europe
If it’s true Reform UK’s Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick told a business audience last night that renewable companies are "screwed" if Reform get in, it tells you everything about their readiness to inflict national self-harm in pursuit of ideological war on climate action.
More than half of Reform UK members believe non-white British citizens born abroad should be deported or encouraged to leave.
No different to the old BNP or National Front voters.

Right now UK is pretty much running the electrical grid on renewables and Nuclear.
Canada is the first non-European country to be granted membership in SAFE. This is unlocking new export markets abroad for producers across Canada’s defence industry and better equipping our military with the resources they need.
🚨🚨 Major irony warning:
The UK decision to depart from the EU in the "hard" way opting for the TCA was the most severe barrier to EU trade that could be imposed.
Now live with it or renegotiate the basic terms of this framework. #brexit

Nurul Amin Shah Alam was a blind refugee, unable to speak English. DHS improperly detained-but finally released him
Instead of bringing him home, they dropped him miles away-without regard to his disability or notifying his family
Unable to find his way, he died on the streets of Buffalo
Alone
So another crap Tory policy
Part of a $45 billion expansion of detention centres
Looking more and more like 1940s Germany
