Human's are causing the Earth's sixth mass extinction. 83% of wild mammals have already been pushed past the brink.

If nature goes, its taking us with it. No time to wait.

Nigel Farage Says Minimum Wage Should Be Cut for Young People The Reform leader said cutting the minimum wage for young people would boost business, as he attacked plans to raise taxes on the wealthy

Nigel Farage, who has so far registered a total of Β£280,500 for four hours a month as a "brand ambassador" for a company selling gold bars, thinks a Β£10 an hour minimum wage for young people is too high bylinetimes.com/2025/11/03/n...

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...

78% are murdered by a partner/ex

Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this

Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety

In fact, they voted against them...

New planning bill could jeopardise UK’s trade deal with EU, ambassador warns Exclusive: Proposed legislation removes EU-derived nature protections as government hopes to boost economic growth

So much for "boosting growth".
All this vandalism will do is leave us with devastated ecosystems, fewer green spaces, worse quality of life, while neither solving the housing crisis (because the problem IS NOT AND NEVER WAS "bats and newts") nor creating "growth".

The More Reform Talks, the More the Mask Slips. So I Say… Give Them the Limelight. And as Caerphilly showed, let more of the public see that the supposed groundswell of support for Reform is nothing but Farage’s cigarette smoke and mirrors.

This might be controversial…

But given that the more Reform talks, the more the mask slips

I say…

Give them the limelight.

Here's a better idea: every data centre you build, you build enough renewable energy to power it, and you supply the waste heat from your cooling system to power homes and businesses nearby. Simple. Common sense. And fair.

Big US tech company Nvidia saying they're gonna build data centres in the UK and we have to burn more gas to power them? Uh, no. British people shouldn't be paying higher bills and suffering accelerated climate change for your bottom line.

How BBC presents the anti-migrant hotel protests vs how we do at @bylinesnetwork.co.uk

BBC lead with a Reform UK voter saying "We are not happy with these men in this hotel because we fear for our children”

We tell of the refugee children inside the hotel terrified by chants of β€œsend them out!”
