YouGov has refuted Nigel Farage's accusations about its polling

Last week, I called on the government to give voters stronger powers to recall their MPs.

It should be easier for voters to remove MPs who abuse their office.

With trust in politicians at an all-time low, the Representation of the People Bill is an important opportunity to put this right.

I Watched 6 Hours of DOGE Bro Testimony. Here's What They Had to Say For Themselves The hours of videos provide fascinating, or perhaps horrifying, insight into the thinking of someone inside DOGE.

I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish. It's a fascinating, and horrifying, look at the people who caused so much damage, didn't really achieve anything at all, while still being so sure they are right. Here's what they said: www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...

Farage and Badenoch wanting greater reliance on fossil fuels, esp. gas?

Quick, somebody check on their donors. Oh, a long list of fossil fuel interests?

❌ We need to stop relying on volatile supplies of gas and oil.
For our security and stability, the EU must have its own supply of energy and renewables are the solution.
We can produce it ourselves, we don’t need to rely on external forces.

💚 Renewable energy is the future.

Opening more oil & gas in the North Sea won’t reduce UK energy bills.

Prices are set on global markets, and new production would still be sold internationally.

Farage: epic grifter

"Defense Department officials told Congress that the estimate excludes many costs tied to the military buildup. Airstrikes were shaking Beirut and Tehran, and the price of oil surged past $100 a barrel."

Only US Votes Against Women’s Rights Document At UN Commission - Health Policy Watch President of the UN General Assembly Annalena Baerbock told the opening of CSW that the backlash against women's rights "feels as though we are forced to

🚨The US was the only country to vote AGAINST a women’s rights document adopted at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

The text focuses on justice for survivors of gender-based violence & strengthening gender-responsive legal systems.

"apocalyptic” - residents in Tehran describe horrific impacts of US / Israel bombing of 4 oil depots & a petroleum logistics site in & around Iran's capital - sun blotted out, black gunk soot covering the city, toxic acid rain, polluted water, pain in their throat, burning eyes & shortness of breath

Bombing of Iranian oil facilities is causing a health and environmental nightmare Acid rain, toxic air, contaminated water and soil, and the possibility of retaliatory strikes across the Middle East.

Israel’s bombing of Iran’s oil infrastructure will have major long-term environmental repercussions, experts have warned, as monitors admitted they were struggling to keep track of the environmental disasters arising from the widening war.

The Strait of Hormuz and adjacent waters are home to pristine coral reefs, mangrove forests, and seagrass meadows.

🚨 WATCH: Labour MP Charlotte Nichols reveals she was raped as an MP as she opposes the jury trial reforms

"I waited 1,088 days to go to court. We've been told [by the Government] that if we have concerns about this Bill, it's because we've not been raped"

Nigel Farage told us Brexit would give
£3 billion more a year to our NHS

He now says Britain is so broke,
our NHS needs to be scrapped
replaced by US-style healthcare insurance
bankrupting thousands, leaving thousands more to die

He lied before
He hasn't apologised
He's still lying

The Eclegraph Log in Q News Iran crisis Sport Business Money See all News Iran war LIVE Latest updates LIvE Markets Expats fleeing Dubai abandon pets in scramble to leave Travel restrictions and costs force animal owners to take drastic action as Iran targets Gulf states Tr

Two points:

1. They’re not “expats” they’re “migrants.”

2. Them abandoning their pets will hopefully give each and every one of these people just a little bit of insight into the incredibly hard decisions refugees have to make when they’re fleeing war zones.

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.

This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.

44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

When profit kills: How private equity is eroding health care Peer-reviewed studies link private equity takeovers to more deaths and medical complications in nearly every corner of healthcare.

Curse of Private Equity

US evidence shows:
When private equity incentives collide with clinical care, patients—especially those who are sicker, poorer, or harder to treat—are more likely to be killed or harmed.

Yet UK handing more of the NHS to PE, enabling it to make profits.

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

A deeply odd Guardian article that massively underplays the damage building & infrastructure do to the environment

& while claiming to be pro-environment seeks to de-regulate the sector

Based on a nonsensical zero-sum argument about conservation funding

Comes from pro-growth group Britain Remade

I’m really disappointed in @theguardian.com for posting this misinformation and failing to disclose who funds Britain Remade. It’s bad journalism to publish a pro deregulation article from an EDF-funded PR company-created lobby group without that context @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

📝OUT NOW

In 2029, Reform UK could win on under 30% of the vote according to some polls. Our new research paper shows our voting system has a hand in this.

1/🌡️ Global warming passed a milestone on 17th Nov 2023 that barely made the news

For the first time ever, the world's daily average temperature was 2.0°C above pre-industrial levels

Here's what the data says about when that becomes the annual norm, & whether it's coming sooner than anyone expects🧵

Devastating impacts of #ClimateCrisis - failed rains from Oct to Dec in #EastAfrica have pushed almost 26 million people into extreme hunger. 58m don't have access to clean drinking water. Millions of livestock are at risk as drought devastates grazing lands & water sources, threatening livelihoods

Good for Ed Miliband - who’s also doing far more than the Torygraph, the Tories or Farage to insulate the UK from volatile fossil fuel prices, lately driven up by Trump’s war with Iran

Again, Farage, Badenoch and their fellow travellers on X are wildly out of touch with the public on Iran.

Even the majority of Reform supporters oppose their position.

Handouts to oil and gas firms while people face likely bill hikes.

Reckless and irresponsible at a time when we should be doubling down on renewables not cutting tax to fossil fuel fuel giants.

We need a plan to protect people from the coming price shock.

The Green Party recognises that NATO has an important role in ensuring the ability of its member states to respond to threats to their security. We would work within NATO to achieve: A greater focus on global peacebuilding. A commitment to a 'No First Use' of nuclear weapons.

This is the policy. You can find it on their website.
