Reform council that promised cuts delivers payday for party backer Reform councils have increased spending and handed out a £30,000 contract to a company owned by a party supporter which was involved with 10 serious pollution incidents in 2024.

Cutting waste? Or cutting a deal with a party backer for waste management?

Thousands left without water in the middle of winter in the UK. And those same people are now facing a massive bill hike.

Privatised water is a scam.

I've written to the Prime Minister asking why he won't end this rip off and bring failing South East Water into public hands.

.@PabloReports: Stephen Miller seems to be operating sort of as a shadow president at this point. Is there any legal liability he could face at the end of this presidency?

Ryan: There’s going to be legal—and I think criminal—liability for multiple members.. certainly Stephen Miller.

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉

Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.

You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

An anniversary worth marking.

I'm sure we're going to see the very people who have trashed its legacy seek to appropriate WW2 today - so let's remember what was really fought for: peace, a more united Europe, a land fit for heroes (mark 2) and the defeat of fascism.

This ignorant bully is spoiling the Pope’s funeral for the world as he shares zero Catholic principles and should banished from the Vatican NOW!!!!!

Blackrock and Vanguard together own 22% of the world Stock Market.

Or nearly 40% of all the pharmaceutical, fossil fuel, energy, telecoms, supermarkets, media and tech companies

They do this so they have a monopoly on everything and can keep putting the prices up, and up and up

It's hard to get excited about the "Brexit reset".

At best, what is on offer is half a step towards Europe.

We believe it is more important to use this moment where EU negotiations are back in the media to talk about what we really need: to rejoin the EU.

Headline says Reform candidate at local elections was last yeat fined £5,000 for council tax fraud

Who better to put in charge of a council than someone who defrauded it?

We have now arrived at the "arresting judges" level of fascism.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, good news, the judge has been released!

Michael Heseltine has shown time and time again he’s on the right side of history.

Brexit was sold on a bed of lies and dark money.

It is time for Keir Starmer to represent the majority by getting growth, prosperity and security back by rejoining the EU.

Good morning BlueSkyRiders! A little food for thought:

People-smuggling gangs should be treated like terrorists, Starmer to tell global summit Prime minister to urge world leaders to work together to stop criminal gangs as small boat crossings continue to rise

The only way to stop people being forced into the hands of people smugglers is to introduce safe routes for people to seek safety in the UK. Starmer knows this - but instead of making this lifesaving change, he's choosing to dance to Nigel Farage's tune. Shameful.

I have hundreds of daily comments on my channels. So does my friend Graham (Politics Social) We’ve had comments from viewers admitting to self harm and severe mental health crises as a DIRECT consequence of Labours’ benefit reform press briefing. It’s been fucking SHAMEFUL. I’m disgusted with them.

A tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) that reads: **"My companies make great products that people love and I’ve never physically hurt anyone. So why the hate and violence against me? Because I am a deadly threat to the woke mind parasite and the humans it controls."**

This man is deeply unwell.

John Hemingway: Last surviving Battle of Britain pilot dies aged 105 Mr Hemingway, who is originally from Dublin, joined the RAF as a teenager before World War Two.

Such sad news. The last surviving Battle of Britain pilot, John "Paddy" Hemingway, has died at the age of 105. So much owed to Paddy and his generation for the freedoms we enjoy today. RIP Paddy
