Congratulations to England's Red Roses, the women's rugby world cup winners. A superb effort over six weeks and deserved winners.

Why is it that the same media who can't wait to cover every brain fart that emerges from Farage's mouth seem uninterested in a scandal showing close associates of Farage taking bribes to spread Russian misinformation?

As Reform's Nathan Gill admits taking bribes from Russian 'secret service pawn' Oleg Voloshyn, here’s a nice photo of Nigel Farage with Voloshyn’s wife.

Hey @daveyfwright.bsky.social

Any thoughts on these tiny crinoids from the Vaureal Fm.? I'm struggling with an ID.

I am about to start my lengthy article, 37 million people who would be better at advising Keir Starmer than Morgan McSweeney (i know the figure is much larger than that, but these are the first 37 million people I could think of off the top of my head )

β€œSo, you’re a Reform voter? What attracted you to the party run by a lying, racist, dog-whistling, tax-avoiding, ex-public schoolboy who cares not a jot about women subjected to violence or working class people like you?”

Reeves says Thames Water should find β€˜market-based solution’ Chancellor aims to reassure creditors but says ministers are planning for all options including special administration

To appease bankers Reeves says Thames Water should find β€˜market-based solution’.

Not possible. It is a monopoly, no competition, no choice.

Since 1989 TW paid Β£10.4bn in dividends, Β£13.68bn interest payments. Rocketing bills, sewage in rivers.

We can't afford more of the same.

Nationalise water.

Britain is not a country of racist bigots.

Time for the decent majority to "take back control".

I need to borrow an electric van from basically anywhere in the U.K. tomorrow (Tuesday 26th) and return it Sept 2nd.

Big ask, but rental companies messed me around after my e-van repairs got delayed.

It’s for Zero Carbon Adventures and @protect.earth and I can pay a few hundred quid.

So if I've understood this 'Raise The Colours' thing correctly, it's about intimidating immigrants, causing criminal damage, shouting racist abuse, costing local authorities money and generally behaving like a brainless tit.

All these right wing patriots fervently putting flags up everywhere seems somehow familiar...

If they want to show the nation that the β€˜raising the flag’ movement isn’t just a bunch of racist arseholes - taking a photograph of a Muslim woman going about her day, and then gleefully mocking her on X like a juvenile twat is not the correct way to go about it.

Petition: Require candidates for MP to be registered to vote and residents of the UK Currently, a candidate for MP is not required to be registered to vote or be resident in the UK. We ask the Government to require candidates for MP be registered to vote and residents of the UK.

🀐
Silence changed nothing.

⚑
But your voice can.

MPs don’t need to be registered to vote, live in the UK full-time, or even live near the people they represent.

That’s not democracy.

Add your name today & demand MPs live here, vote here, represent us:

Most of Windermere polluted with sewage bacteria, finds biggest survey of its kind Exclusive: Concentrations of faecal bacteria in the lake were found to peak in summer but there were high levels throughout year

Most of Lake Windermere polluted with sewage bacteria.

Only 14% of England’s rivers/lakes meet good ecological standards.

Water companies major culprits; over 1,135 criminal convictions, United Utilities have 205.

No exec prosecuted, no licence to operate cancelled.

Was sat at Warleigh Weir, overtourism wild swim spot on the Avon, and saw a posh kid throw a can into the bushes.

β€œGet in there and fucking pick that up because if I have to get in there and do it for you I’m going to be fuming.”

β€œWhy are you being rude.”

β€œYou’re rude, I’m annoyed about it.”
