#Action is needed. We are being ripped off & the future of climate looks bleak! Eight of the biggest oil companies amassed profits of more than $90bn (£67bn) in just three months as the Iran conflict sent energy prices soaring and the emissions-fuelled climate crisis caused deadly heatwaves.

…..presence in Clacton to attend surgeries, action to help the town of Clacton & multiple scandals, plus breaches of MP’s code of conduct Surely this would be end of any political career, given huge amount of information, that clearly indicates Farage simply untenable in any political role (2/2)

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

We should never forget how the BBC has changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage and other rightwing extremists, while shutting out progressive voices.

And why is #r4today giving (yet again) such prominence to a hair-brained scheme that has little chance to ever be implemented? A GE is unlikely soon and the threat of Reform winning it is apparently receding. What is the justification for legitimising it?

So, despite mounting scandals #BBC #r4Today are still pushing the charlatans of ReformUK at the public? One wonders why?

Very obliging of #r4today to lead with Reform’s ‘plan’ to stop the boats using the Royal Navy, pretending it’ll be some great WWII-style escapade, rather than a hateful, costly, diplomatically incontinent mess. A total waste of everyone’s time as they’ll never be in power and it’s unworkable anyway.

Nigel Farage just took a question from a 'journalist' at his press conference, who turned out to be his former chief adviser Raheem Kassam, who asks him why the media are being so unfair to him

This is so ludicrous, but wouldn't expect anything else! Gun boat policy & usual 18th century thinking from #Reform. #Reform #UK says a Nigel Farage-led government would send the Royal Navy into the Channel to intercept all migrant boats. There are PEOPLE seeking asylum! Not invaders.

There’s a small circle of crypto billionaires and foreign speculators who look at British politics and see an opportunity to make money. And right now, they're bankrolling Nigel Farage's Reform UK to achieve their commercial ends 👇 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Revealed: George Cottrell transferred $2m to his mother days before her donations to Reform UK

Exclusive: Sources say Fiona Cottrell told bankers the transfers, received 24-72 hours before her donations to Reform, came from her son

What is it with current #Tory & EX Tory ministers, who consistently criticise anything that #labour propose or does, having sat on their hands for 14 years? Just doing that and nothing else! And still looking for boats in the channel!

Why should Burnham call a GE, the Tories didn't bother when Truss then Sunak took over from Johnson, they were always going to start calling for a GE. Burnham must ignore them and not allow himself into being pushed to call an early GE.
