Warrington Reform UK member quits party and slams ‘lack of free speech’ A REFORM UK member in Warrington has quit the party – and claims it does not believe in democracy and free speech.

"Reform UK, who have even welcomed two members of the BNP to their meetings in Warrington, have never even pondered a single local policy."

I spent a really long time amassing everything you need to know about Labour's vast deals with fossil gas-loving, Trump-donating AI giants out to pepper the world with climate-wrecking data centres...so you don't have to!

My reporting for @desmog.com 📖👇

Trump's incoherent answers to Norah O'Donnell raise new questions about Joe Biden's mental fitness.

The men who raised the flags Nigel Farage says this summer’s movement was led by ‘ordinary people’ expressing their patriotism. That’s not what we found

"it is striking how many of the key players we have looked into — the people who have gone out of their way to put up hundreds of flags — seem anything but ordinary."

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

Americans are on the verge of losing their ability to choose their government. But they don't seem to have realized it yet.

Independent investigative journalism that truly sits outside of the established system allows the media-political class itself to be scrutinised. How can we understand the world we live in if we won't ask difficult questions of those framing it?

Dominic Cummings: ‘Keir Starmer’s rubbish at politics’ The former aide to Boris Johnson pulls no punches in his assessment of the current state of British politics

Britain's problems in one capsule. If you pay to go to a posh private school and Oxford and do History and marry into wealth you can say anything, do anything, smash anything, fail anywhere. And people will still lap up what you say and nod like donkeys. (1/2) www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

I see Reform UK are on #BBCQT again tonight, would one of the other panelists kindly ask

Is it fiscally responsible for Nathan Gill to make anti EU, pro Russia statements in exchange for bribes

But for Nigel Farage to make anti EU, pro Russia statements, without bribes?

Nice one. Small steps. When you are ready. All the best.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career.

Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV.

My advice always is to study what interests you and the rest will follow
