This is how the BBC is reporting Matt Goodwin's selection as Reform's candidate in Gorton and Denton.

He's not an academic. He holds no academic position and hasn't done for quite some time.

Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers in Auschwitz.

It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs. them”.

It started with intolerance and hate speech.

It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye.

Remember.

It's ecological breakdown that should put us on a war-footing: official Admissions of extreme, eco-caused national security threats foreground importance of climate adaptation to bring much needed urgency and agency.

Writing with @rupertread.bsky.social about just how devastating the Government- suppressed security report is, particularly its conclusions about our food insecurity. Ministers should be helping to build our resilience to these threats, not burying the report that contains them 👇

This is shocking. New @jrf-uk.bsky.social report has found ‘very deep poverty’ in Britain has hit its worst level in 30 years.

Why is this not on every UK news show this morning?

Moderna Won’t Run Phase III Vaccine Trials as Skepticism Grows in US: Bloomberg Growing opposition to vaccines in the U.S., driven by recent government policy changes, makes it difficult to see a return on investment in vaccine development, Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel said this w...

Moderna have announced that they won't run new phase three trials now with massive impacts for new vaccine development- why- its because of RFK Jr and his anti-vaccine campaigns and cancelling mRNA vaccine research which affect the sales the company can then make 🧪🧵 #PublicHealth

As @adsquires.bsky.social points out, area-level aggregation makes this *very* misleading. There is an education gradient in the US (as there was for the Brexit vote here) but it is *much* less pronounced than this (Harris won graduates 55-42 or so, Trump won non-grads by similar margin).

Daily Mail 12th July 2025 Reform warns it wouldn't take Liz Truss or Suella Braverman if they decided to leave the Tories amid concerns they would damage the party's image

Farage welcomed Suella ‘Cruella’ Braverman into Reform UK Party Ltd today.

🤣🤣

But nothing suits Farage more than everybody thinking that he is presiding over the new conservative party, rather than a new party with 8 MPs.

The European summit that will really wind up Trump Wind turbines are for “losers,” says Trump. Europe’s leaders beg to differ at a high-level meeting in Hamburg.

Europe has a chance today to flex its independence from the U.S. by embracing the wind energy technology that Donald Trump hates the most.

These daily posts on US politics and law by @hcrichardson.bsky.social are essential reading and invariably excellent, and her post today is outstanding.

The calm measured prose makes the facts described all the more powerful.

We are lucky to have this contemporaneous chronicle.

For decades, the American right has insisted that people need firearms for personal safety and to resist potential government tyranny.

And then LBC just had some US general on who suggested that if a demonstrator has a gun with them, they're essentially a legitimate target.

Which is it?

Alarming ?oversight on the part of the BBC? I am not sure that Esther Ghey is the one responsible?

Lies, lies, and damn lies.

The world as we knew it has gone.  But we can influence what comes next.  Rejoining the EU is no longer an academic issue nor a decision borne of nostalgia.  It’s a matter of political necessity

Nigel Farage’s trip to Davos hosted and paid for by family trust of billionaire Trust says Reform UK leader was invited to WEF event by London-based venture capitalist as an honorary adviser

Nigel Farage’s trip to Davos hosted and paid for by $10bn family trust of an Iranian-born billionaire.

Listed on the programme as member of parliament and a representative of HP Trust “family office of Sasan Ghandehari”.

What do sponsors get in return?

Government’s wildlife targets will be missed in England, watchdog says Seven out of 10 targets have little likelihood of being met by 2030, Office for Environmental Protection says

Utterly damning report from Office for Environmental Protection - the Govt’s not only missing its targets to protect wildlife in England, it’s also failing on *almost all* environmental measures - and in some cases actively destroying the natural world through its obsession with growth at all costs

This is a truly horrifying account of increasingly likely collapse of essential natural systems which would bring mass food shortages, price rises & global disorder. Commissioned from UK intelligence chiefs but scandalously suppressed by Govt, & sneaked out now while attention is elsewhere 👇

Sadly suppressing such a devastating report doesn’t make the risks go away - it just makes them even harder to deal with. Facing up to the truth is the first step to coping with it - it’s beyond scandalous that ministers tried to prevent this. They need to act - and fast

FULL UPDATE!: We learn from the Times in this morning’s paper that indeed as I surmised (see thread below) the Govt >haven’t< released an unredacted version of this bombshell report. What a scandal.
