Show your working: a challenge to Reform UK Reform UK blames inefficiency for public failures, but real scrutiny starts with data, not Twitter outrage. Here's why...

โ€œIf you want to cut waste, show your working.โ€

Reform UK thrives on manufactured outrage, but real efficiency takes spreadsheets, not slogans.

The Bear forensically unpacks their fake accountability.

Warnings of dire worker shortages as UK net migration figures halve Tories claim credit for fall in numbers as Labour continues push for cutting migration in wake of Starmerโ€™s โ€˜island of strangersโ€™ speech

"A mere 26,100 people between April last year and April 2025 came to the UK on a health and care worker visa. This is down from 143,900 on figures for March 2023 to March 2024."

โ€˜Resolute 1850โ€™: Reform UK Ltdโ€™s MAGA plan to turn Britain into Little America Right-wing US interests are pushing a plan to bend the UK to their will, โ€˜DOGEโ€™-style โ€“ in Farageโ€™s Reform UK they have an eager little helper

"In December last year, Resolute 1850 Ltd was incorporated in the UK.

With a thinktank soon to be launched and funds from MAGA, American Big Tech and the US religious right already pledged, it seeks to use Reform as a vessel to bring Project 2025-style policies to the UK." ๐Ÿคฌ

Whatโ€™s in the millions of tonnes of sludge sprayed on to farmland? The answer wonโ€™t make you happy | George Monbiot Thanks to breathtaking negligence, the liquid fertiliser used to help grow our food bubbles with a lethal cocktail of toxins, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

A gobsmacking story. Water companies let toxic waste disposers, for cash, dump their loads into sewage farms. The sewage sludge is then spread, untested, on farmland, potentially poisoning vast areas, entire ecosystems and the people (you and me) eating the food.

Of course it will be a calamitous penalty for the likes of France, Italy et al with their lush, abundant vineyards if they canโ€™t get their hands on watered-down, over-priced bourbon and pissy Bud Light, and are forever consigned to champagne, vintage Malbec and refreshing German beers instead ๐Ÿ™„
