Thousands of pollution incidents in England downgraded without site visit, data suggests Exclusive: Whistleblower figures show large rise in β€˜serious’ to β€˜minor’ downgrades based on water company evidence

UK Environment Agency is clearly not fit for purpose if it just takes water companies' word for it. We need STRICTER controls on polluters, not cowardice.

Isabel Oakeshott and Richard Tice must be pleased they moved to Dubai for safety because London is such a dangerous no-go war zone...

Farage was of course very happy to court Commonwealth voters during the Brexit referendum, whereas affected EU citz could not vote at all

Now he wants to remove the Commonwealth franchise

(I think CW franchise is anachronistic but Farage’s hypocrisy and opportunism is revolting)

Labour must stop channelling Reform and unite with progressives. That’s the lesson from Gorton and Denton | Sadiq Khan The threat to the party in some parts of our country is now existential. But we can progress, as we have in London, by being bold and strong in our core beliefs, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

"Trying to compete with Reform not only feels inauthentic... but a betrayal of what Labour is supposed to represent. We must address the concerns and fears of voters, not play on them."

Damning stuff from Sadiq Khan

Farage / far right anger over by-election result entirely understandable. Because having wanted to emphasise the commonwealth and the white working classes, the two got together to defeat him. Which is complete humiliation.

Setting aside comments we might have over the Green campaign (and tbf Narendra Modi has a lot of Muslim blood on his hands. This is a reasonable point to make) as Dan points out, if British Muslims are voting for a working woman, who represents a party run by a gay Jew, that isn’t very Islamist.

πŸ˜‚ Reform are so full of rage they can’t hear how utterly ridiculous they sound.

Erm, their candidate was a working class female, from the area.

Also, Islamist appeasement?

So the Muslim community voted for a female, who represents a party run by a gay Jew.

Sounds great to me.

Voting rights groups sue Georgia for refusing to release voter purge records Without full access to the records, plaintiffs say they cannot determine whether eligible voters were wrongly removed.

Nearly 471,000 Georgia voters were removed from the rolls. Black Voters Matter Fund and two Georgia unions are suing Brad Raffensperger after he refused to turn over key records tied to the purge.

Transparency isn’t optional. Voting rights are on the line.

Melania Trump will preside over a UN Security Council meeting in a first for a first lady U.S. first lady Melania Trump will preside over a U.N. Security Council meeting in what the United Nations said Thursday would be a first.

As the US goes to war, it’s comforting to know the UN is in good hands.

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes.

Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time.

What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.

No half-sentient person would trust Trump with a barbecue, and here we are watching him start a war to distract from his weapons grade depravity & incompetence.

The right has long controlled the media and the narrative. Watching Aaron Sorkin’s The Newsroom, you get striking insight into how news was faked and manipulated by the likes of Fox to turn people against Obama.

Schumer:

"Senate Democrats will review the unredacted [Epstein] files in the coming days. Pam Bondi should listen carefully - the truth will come out... The whole world is going to know exactly what she knew, when she knew it, and what she did to cover it up."
