By his own logic then, isn't the US "poking the bear?"

Nigel Farage says Iran ‘bigger danger than Putin’ in New Statesman interview Reform UK leader supported US war on Iran from start, but is now being accused of a U-turn

yep, faragski continues to push the line you'd expect a clever man supported by putin to push.

SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS' WORTH OF LOBSTER, IN ONE MONTH. AND A GRAND PIANO.

I hope those 77m Trump voters are all enjoying being robbed blind.

The Labour front bench should curl up and die of shame as they listen to this. They have abandoned every shred of true concern for social justice, in favour of cheap authoritarian stunts.

Dear @goodlawproject.org

What do you make of this?

That's f#%*ing outrageous!!

It's actually worse because we also detected 12,000 nanograms/litre of banned, cancer-causing PFOA by their discharge pipe into the River Wyre.

Wow.

HSE consults on classifying a type of PFAS emitted from Lancashire chemical factory as ‘possible carcinogen’ The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has launched a consultation on classifying a PFAS chemical that is emitted to the environment from the AGC Chemicals factory near Blackpool as a “possible carcino...

The HSE may class the PFAS used by AGC's factory in Lancashire (EEA-NH4) as a possible carcinogen & reprotoxic substance. @watershed-i.bsky.social previously uncovered they're emitting 800kg per year into the River Wyre and it's in the soil around the plant.

The ‘Toxic Cocktail’ Brewing in Pennsylvania’s Waterways - Inside Climate News Pennsylvania is still cleaning up decades’ worth of coal mining pollution. Now it must also contend with millions of tons of fracking waste, some of it radioactive.

Fracking waste has a mix of chemicals from fracking fluid + others leached from underground.

Arsenic, lead, cancer-causing benzenes, radioactive radium can all be present.

It's being dumped in Pennsylvania landfills.

Mounting evidence says it's getting into rivers:

Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma.

Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply.

The Guardian view on EV charging: China took the right lessons from Britain’s past | Editorial Editorial: Megawatt fast EV charging reflects a coordinated grid strategy the UK once used. Privatisation and fragmentation now make that infrastructure far harder to build

"a quarter of the average household energy bill ~ £450 – flow today into corporate profits. Nearly 30% of a water bill in the English privatised system goes to shareholder returns and paying debt"

How privatisation ruined public utilities

It's absolutely infuriating.

The fact that people are allowed to make this claim repeatedly without being told that:

1. It will be sold on international markets by private companies and,

2. That there isn't enough to make the slightest dent in oil prices.

Tells you who all of these people actually work for.

The US has a 1 trillion dollar yearly military budget.

What the hell do they need us for? "Legitimacy by numbers", "diluted responsibility" and "lower aircraft reuelling costs"?

Yup. I don't even mind what colour.

Rocky Myers, a Black man from Decatur, Alabama, is still locked up for a crime he didn’t commit. His lawyer, former corporate counsel for the United Klans of America, told me if he had to do it all over again, he’d seat an all-white jury this time. Please take a moment with this story.

Christopher Harborne has cemented Reform’s status as a mo... New political donation rules won’t stop him giving as much as he likes

In the second half of 2025, one man accounted for almost 40% of all money donated to political parties in the UK: a crypto-billionaire who lives in Thailand.

Britain desperately needs to rewrite its party funding rules.

"We hate you."

"Wait. Give us your drones."

If the person in charge of the Home Office openly and brazenly lies about asylum seekers and refugees, how do we know her employees are not lying in asylum hearings?

The one I can find, that works.

Quite amazing to me that burning solid fuel is not banned in London.

It's rare, thankfully, but this winter I have been choked on a few occasions - 30 metres from a large primary school.

Precisely.

It's not "trying to lure Reform voters".

It's simply seems to be what they want to do.

Not for the first time, see also denial of citizenship for refugees based on manner of entry for example, Labour appears to have forgotten that Article 34 of the Refugee Convention exists. It very explicitly was the intention of the framers that refugee protection would lead to naturalisation.

Big money has bought British politics

75% of Reform’s money has come from three rich white men

- Some media called them out. Some TV hosts reeled in surprise. Some did fact-checks few read or saw. Most, and the most influential and most viewed, did not. Instead they reported what was said uncritically as one side of “balanced coverage”. They reported the lies as if they might be true.

I mean, this research is cool.

But I'm far from convinced adding fluorinated polymers for 4mW/m2 (when its raining) is a good trade-off.

‘Treat us fairly’: skilled workers face having their dream of settling in UK snatched away As government mulls doubling requirement to 10 years, the uncertainty is putting many who came to Britain to work under strain

An economically, politically and morally bankrupt strategy.

Bad for individuals, bad for families, bad for businesses, bad for public services, bad for integration and cohesion.
