Margaret A. Wilcox (1838 –1912) was an engineer and inventor of the train car heating system. She also contributed to the development of home appliance technology, but her early inventions had to be patented under her husband's name, as women were not then allowed to hold patents. #CelebratingWomen

I don’t think the Americans should be crowing about joining wars late eh.

USA joined WW2 in December 1941, 2 years and 3 months AFTER WW2 started.
USA entered WW1 in April 1917, 2 years and 9 months after WW1 started.
Always late to the party.

It's a common refrain for ministers to note Nigel Farage's absence from the Commons, but the stats do seem to back it up. So far this year he has spoken five times and voted seven times. As a very rough, smaller-party comparison, Ellie Chowns of the Greens has spoken 46 times and voted 24 times.

Reform are not the Opposition. They have had fewer MPs elected than the Green Party, which had five elected under their banner in this Parliament alone.

STOP. MAINSTREAMING. REFORM.

If the BBC had given them coverage proportional to their actual significance, we would barely know who Farage is.

The real threat to democracy doesn't come from 'family voting'. It comes from the losing side refusing go accept they've lost

Reform's Plans to Import Trump’s Authoritarian 'Project 2025' Blueprint to the UK Far from defending British independence, Reform and its by-election candidate Matt Goodwin are taking blueprints - and cash - from a global network of American hardliners

Farage forgets that the receipts are everywhere

This should be enough to trigger the investigation of the Bannon / Epstein connections to Brexit and of course emails exist verifying those connections already

Electoral reform is the key to Social Democratic renewal With four parties tied in the polls, our first past the post electoral system is failing. How should progressives respond?

In the 1950s, Labour and the Tories won 95% of the vote combined.
Last election? Just 58%.

The two-party era is over. Clinging to First Past the Post won't save progressive politics – it risks breaking it.

“you've appeared on our podcasts, had dinner with us, had us write for your Substack, and sought our advice on how to write your social media posts”

Are you a woman? Is your mother a woman? Is your wife a woman? Sister? Daughter? Do you have a Granny? Aunts? Female cousins. Is your neighbour a woman? Do you have female friends? Are you a decent, respectable human being?

Then there's no way you can vote for this.

Spread the word.

President Zelenskyy:

Ukraine didn’t choose this war& it's wrong to assume that this is a permanent arrangement that others can stay safe behind Ukraine forever.Ukrainians are people,not terminators.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Sign to get the wicked fascist Palantir out of UK services

Nigel Farage has just called for an end to working from home and the focus on work-life balance

They’ll be suggesting we send kids up chimneys next

Whatever you do JUST DON’T VOTE REFORM

🚨 BOT ALERT 🚨

After analysing Reform UK traffic on X, something doesn’t add up. Out of 3,000 accounts pushing Reform content, only around 470 show clear signs of real human activity.

The rest? Repetitive posts. Same wording. Same timing. Classic automation behaviour.

Reform UK Donors & Jeffrey Epstein Taking Candy from the Wealthy

I cross-checked every Reform UK donor with the Epstein Files.

Nick Candy is all over this, but there are others, including Sotheby's that are up to their neck in this.

PM Tusk on Epstein: it is very likely that this was a planned operation by the Russian KGB.

More and more leads are pointing to suspicions that this unprecedented pedophilia scandal was co-organized by Russian intelligence services.

Farage is named by Steve Bannon in an email in the Epstein files as their man in the UK, and says that 'Brexit is just the beginning'.
Farage is clearly toxic for the British people, but right wing media, including BBC continue to ignore the mountains of evidence that prove his treachery.
