The answer to the question "Why is that terrible thing happening?" is usually "Because it makes some rich white guys wealthier" or "Because it helps shore up US planetary domination" or "Because Israel wants it," and it's usually some combination of all three.

Sending love to Jason Arday's family and friends. He was subject of sustained and malicious media attacks which were no doubt more vicious because he was Black. We must now reflect on the impact of a trial by some of the media and online on someone under extreme pressure.

Just unacceptable cruelty from our mainstream media who should be forever held responsible for their despicable acts. My heart goes out to the family of Jason Arday, may he forever rest in peace🙏 What a tragedy.

All of this👇👇👇 The toxic disgusting media outlets in this toxic disgusting shit country have managed to push a man over the edge, leave his children fatherless, leave a hole in the hearts of his beloved ones, for what exactly?... To score points? To kill a black man? To ruin a career? For WHAT?..

£5million for his security and Farage pretends he’s been threatened and won’t turn up to thank the people who managed his monstrous tantrum by-election, staying up through the night counting votes… or the voters who let him get away with his gross abuse of power. From start to end, an epic disgrace.

When will tipping points be reached? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/08... We are in trouble. It is time to cast aside those parties that have created this trouble, whether deliberately or through inaction. Both behaviours have failed us. The moment for action - the tipping point - has arrived.

When will tipping points be reached?

Since waking rather early this morning, and without the benefit of any alarm clock, Nigel Farage's by-election result (I hesitate to call it a victory) has been dominating my day. That includes record...

Still gobsmacking that Andy Burnhams response to the deaths from the climate crisis has been to pledge to try & stop the sale of single use barbeques. A monumental mistake. Time to do the right thing. Fund our firefighters & say no to new oil & gas. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Green groups urge Andy Burnham to break silence on climate crisis

More than 50 organisations say PM urgently needs to show leadership and prepare British people for scale of change needed as UK struggles through another heatwave

The only things this ridiculous Clacton by-election farce have confirmed: 1) Farage is wholly unfit for public office, given his willingness to abuse it 2) Farage is corrupt 3) Farage is an attention-seeking, charmless, lying dickhead 4) Clacton has let us all down. Again. That’s it.

The BBC increasingly just report on what is being said by the billionaire press. They allow them to set the agenda which means our national conversation becomes about same trivial nonsense the Daily Mail are talking about. And it's becoming deadly. novaramedia.com/2026/08/13/b...

BBC Failing to Inform Viewers About Climate Emergency, Says Polanski

The BBC is failing to properly inform viewers about the realities of the climate emergency, choosing instead to follow the lead of rightwing newspapers owned by billionaires, Zack Polanski has said.

Great to speak to Matt Chorley on BBC Five Live. Why hasn't the Prime Minister mentioned the climate crisis at all? What's his plan? And will be rule out drilling for oil & gas in the North Sea? Luckily Matt is interviewing the Prime Minister on tomorrows show so can we get some answers?

There’s absolutely no way anyone can take any part of this farcical by-election seriously. What a total joke that this was allowed to happen and that Farage - the orchestrator of this total waste-of-time debacle - may try to claim any sort of victory or vindication here.

However, the contest has already broken several records:
• The most candidates in one Westminster election
• The most independent candidates (20) to stand in a single election
• The longest ballot paper in British electoral history
Tendring District Council said it could not find a stage big enough for all 34 candidates at the count.
Instead, they will be asked to line up on the floor of the sports hall in alphabetical order as the results are declared.

Farage returns to his position in Clacton, that being the man who has done nothing to help the people. The committee looking into Farage's alleged financial corruption, £5 million just being a smidgen of his lies, will continue🤣 I said last week, the people of Clacton deserve ALL they get!

According to Essex Police, there is and was no threat to lying Farage. He just didn't want to look a bigger loser than he already is on the stage with others. Does he not realise he already looks the part of a walking talking dickhead? 🤣 hopefully he gets kicked OUT of POWER SOON for his LIES.

Andy Burnham says the bigger questions of oil and gas will come "at the right moment in time." On the eve of another heatwave when thousands of people have died already, when is a better time to rule out drilling for new oil and gas?

Water nationalisation for our water security? End north sea oil & gas - invest in renewables for our energy security? A maximum workplace temperature for worker security? No. A request not to sell BBQs. This is dire from Andy Burnham. Spectacularly mishandling the crisis.

Burnham had faced calls from the green party to chair a cobra meeting on the heatwaves with leader Zack Polanski accusing the pm of inaction amid threats to public health and food supplies
