Revelations about RW social media accounts being run from Russia correspond perfectly to data already revealed by the Panama, Paradise & Pandora Papers: Russian money streamed thru offshore accounts funds virtually all right-wing "populist" parties in EU & NAmerica. Same goal: undermine democracy.

If Labour don’t bring in PR we are probably condemned to Reform and this country is going to become unbelievably worse off. But whatever the case, I’m voting Greens. 💚

How Whitehall suppressed the truth about the doctors strike The Times was fed a front-page story that misled its readers

This is very good from Peter - and basically shows how the British Polling Council rules are supposed to work.

Oswald Moseley's British Union of Fascists, were known as the Black Shirts. The press baron Lord Rothermere was a notable early supporter. In case you missed it.

Oh FFS, Today Christmas guest editors, tax dodger James Dyson an ex Tory PM and head of AI from Microsoft…. Why not get some genuinely interesting people? Someone who volunteers in a food bank, a doctor who works in a&e, a Welsh hill farmer…. BBC has completely lost its way.

A line graph shows the time series of Arctic mean surface temperature anomalies for each October from 1850 through 2025. There is a long-term increasing trend and large year-to-year variability. The mean surface temperature anomaly in October 2025 was 3.78°C for this region. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1910-2000 climate baseline. All data is from NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI NOAAGlobalTemp v6.0.0 on this graphic.

A line graph shows the time series of Antarctic mean surface temperature anomalies for each October from 1850 through 2025. There is a long-term increasing trend and large year-to-year variability. The mean surface temperature anomaly in October 2025 was 1.43°C for this region. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1910-2000 climate baseline. All data is from NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI NOAAGlobalTemp v6.0.0 on this graphic.

Was there any coverage of the recent record warmth in both the Arctic and Antarctic? Multiple global datasets now confirm these records, and I think it's really quite striking.

Here's some very quick plots showing NOAAGlobalTempv6 data from October too. And see my earlier posts.

A tech bro, a former Tory PM, a brexiter, a small c conservative historian... that good old leftist bias is going as strong as ever! #r4today

This is a DIFFERENT clip from the one the other day. Every time this person goes on camera, apparently, she says something even more ghoulish.

New: Boris Johnson’s ‘Brexit Titanic success’ was half right Nearly ten years on, the first full assessment of Brexit confirms what millions warned: Britain made itself poorer

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances. A new decade-long Brexit study explains it: a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.

Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves hints at more welfare cuts after previous rebellion - but authority on shaky ground The government's earlier efforts to reform welfare and save £5bn ended in an inglorious failure.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves hints at welfare cuts.

Why do govts not cut corporate welfare?

Subsidies for auto, steel, oil, gas, biomass, internet, shipbuilding and others, without any equity stake.

Profiteering by energy, water, phone, house builders, care home, dental care companies.

We pour billions into saving an economically tiny steel industry whilst actively destroying one of our largest export industries. (Yes, higher education to overseas students who already massively subsidise UK students, are counted as exports).

Reeves to launch crackdown on benefit fraud alongside lifting two-child limit Move aims to bring in extra £1.2bn of savings as government seeks to head off criticism over welfare spending

Can anyone remember a time when there wasn't an ongoing “crackdown on benefit fraud”?

The entire basis of the benefit application system is that you, as a claimant, are probably lying.

Shabana Mahmood is an avatar of open Britain – that’s what makes her fable about immigration so seductive | Nesrine Malik ‘She is the daughter of immigrants,’ supporters of her cruel asylum policies say. ‘How can she be wrong?’ Let me put them straight, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

On Shabana Mahmood's contemptible attempt to mobilise her identity in support of her sadistic immigration policies, this from Nesrine Malik is exactly what needed saying.

Today is the 4th anniversary of the worst ever tragedy in the Channel.

At least 27 men, women & children drowned in the freezing water, & 4 more have never been found.

Since then, neither we nor the French have done a thing to offer people in this situation with real solutions.

Since the implementation of the ceasefire in Lebanon, the IDF has murdered 338 men, women and children They have wounded hundreds more.

An altitude reservation NOTAM has been posted for Tuesday over the Gulf near the same area that tankers refueled bombers during the last mission to the southern Caribbean.

what a surprise, majority of fash "Ireland is full" posts on shitter are from outside Ireland

idk how this is happening but even as statements like 'israel is committing genocide' are becoming more and more acceptable to say in public by people in positions of power, it feels like concern and support for palestinians keeps declining and shouldn't it be the other way around??

Turkish Airlines, Brazil's Gol, Colombia's Avianca and TAP Air Portugal have canceled their flights departing from Caracas. This follows the FAA issuing a security NOTAM cautioning aircraft operators about potential dangers in Venezuelan airspace that looks like this today:

The exit economy is here. Black Women are paying the highest price | Fortune This isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. And it's not a recovery, it's a redistribution of opportunity.

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.
