“Mandelson is a very intelligent man” and an “enormously talented bloke,”

“I’ll work with him in Washington”.

Nigel Farage

Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek) * ... @magyarpeterMP Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then - on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office.

Hungary’s Péter Magyar issues an ultimatum.

Johnson overrode advice about appointing the son of a KGB officer into the Lords.

Nothing from the media. Not a whisper.

Starmer doesn’t override advice

Media storm and a hounding of epic proportions.

If this had been a Muslim attacking a White Woman.

The Daily Mail, Telegraph, Tommy Robinson, Nigel Farage and Rupert Lowe would have tweeted about it for months.

Instead there is silence as the people who spread this hate try to take no responsibility.

Free plug-in solar panels to be rolled out to some households The technology is designed to be a simpler and more affordable way of benefiting from renewable energy

"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.

Northampton couple who met on bus ride double decker to wedding The pair are now married after meeting during their commute last summer.

Everything is terrible. So here is a NICE THING.

Also desperate not to upset Trump so he wouldn't punish us because we've had enough economic punishment. Brexit.

We all know why he did it, because of Trump. Not for personal gain, not for money but because he thought this would help the country, i.e. help us all.

Totally different from May solving a party problem with Johnson or Johnson getting God know’s what for Lebedev’s peerage (both failed vetting)

A lot of people spent days going "OMG OMG OMG popcorn at the ready SiR kEiTh obvs lying; Olly Robbins has the receipts". Now they're like "too clever to get caught, they did it with VIBEZ."

From "Starmer is really bad at politics" straight to "Starmer is Machiavelli reincarnated" - like every week.

It’s almost as if there’s a coordinated campaign by the fossil fuel industry on both sides of the world.

But renewables are coming and are going to march all over them..

Meanwhile tax their profits hard as a punishment for their bad actions

UK economy: Surprise fall in unemployment rate to 4.9% ONS data shows the jobless rate at its lowest level since last summer, but wage rises falling back towards the pace of inflation in the economy.

Unemployment fell...before Trump's Iran war.

Pledges of a deregulation race to the bottom and fire sale of our public assets… like the NHS.
Those crypto billionaires donating to Reform ain’t doing that to eradicate food banks…

Nigel Farage Has Personally Accepted £675,000 from Foreign Sources Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has accepted more than half a million pounds from foreign companies, governments, and donors while serving as an MP, DeSmog can reveal. Since July 2024, when he was elect...

“Farage rarely turns up to do his actual job. Yet he finds time to jet off around the world on his donor’s private plane and trouser half a million quid while families struggle. Reform are not on your side. They’re just in it for themselves”

It’s so obvious, it hurts.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Found it…

Fixed it for him

In the 70's the Government owned Energy, it built houses, it owned Public Services and it employed people.

Now billionaires own it all, and they pay you too.

So every year prices go up more than wages.

It's not complicated why things are only getting worse.

It's billionaires

We all need to lodge an official complaint. It takes no time at all, and I've dropped a link to BBC Complaints in the comments. This is shocking.

I checked this too.

*20 seconds* of Reform logo display.

*No other* party logo displayed.

In local election purdah.

This is not normal. At all.

Chart showing fall in GDP per person caused by Brexit

The economic damage caused by Brexit may be almost double the 4% impact assumed by the OBR, the Resolution Foundation has revealed.

It's utterly disgusting.

Someone reported a gang-rape in Epsom

Police investigated, found zero evidence and there are no asylum seekers in local hotels

The Far Right do not believe the police, they need it to be true & “migrants” so now they’re harassing, protesting & banging on doors of random HMOs & Hotels in the town.

BBC News is seriously lost in the woods and has been for years. Labour should have cleaned house the minute came into govt. Not doing so means we now have, not one, but two Reform Broadcasting Corporations.

Every one of us should down tools and bring the country to a halt.
Not going to happen...

It’s very hard not to give up…
The media outlets that we should be able to trust to hold power to account are in the pockets of power. They undermine our democracy every day.
I despair, I really do.

I wrote this with GB News in mind. This is clear breach of the Broadcasting Guidelines. bsky.app/profile/toek...

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.
