It’s tragic that CO₂ doesn’t look and smell like wildfire smoke.

If I were Nigel Farage, I’d dip into that £5 million crypto gift just to fund a video that can compete with this! 🤣 HILARIOUS ⬇️

Early morning press conference at the Whitehouse.

Let's take a look at this claim as "revealed" by the Daily Mail. TLDR - It's taken them a reeeeeally long time to "reveal" this law 😜 So what's the reality behind this headline? 🧵 1/23

Excellent as usual and so much ammunition for use when arguing with deniers

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

we want our fresh water and real jobs, not artificial intelligence

The transference of human agency to deeply flawed AI systems not only erodes human dignity but is an existential threat to the human race itself.

"Conducting a coup": the shameless chancerism of Farage & Reform. No one elected Farage Reform leader. Farage appointed Malcolm Offord Scottish leader. Farage appointed Dan Thomas Welsh leader. Not one Tory MP defecting to Reform called a by-election.

We should dump foreign owners of UK media, informing people fully and encourage engagement based on openness, not billionaire corporate control.

“Aussie boys are on a bender, Donald Trump is a sex offender.”

When Farage can’t lie about people of colour or ‘anti-white racism’ (😂), he has literally nothing.

Russian operatives ran their sabotage and provocation campaign remotely through social media and the messaging app Telegram, we found, creating fake online far-right and Muslim groups, which were used to organise acts of vandalism in the UK and stir up division and fear. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Russia was behind arson attacks targeting PM, BBC reveals

Evidence shows Russians directing the plot and stoking tensions with fake far-right and Muslim groups.

🚨FURY as Thames Water to host Careers Day for Refugees 🚨 Apparently...🤔 Who are all these furious people, making this newsworthy across several newspapers, TV channels, radio shows and countless YouTube videos? 🧵 1/23

The absentee MP "TheyWorkForYou, which tracks all votes by MPs and legislation they are eligible to cast a ballot for, shows that Nigel Farage has now been absent for 77 Parliament votes in a row" "Farage has allegedly failed to hold any surgeries in Clacton since July 2024" via Martin Ormerod

As misleading headlines go, that has to be up there with some of the worst! As is the claim that "Immigration is fuelling mass unemployment among under-25s." The "shocking new study" does NOT show that at all 🙄 🧵 1/21

A £300 tax on your UK summer holiday does sound like a lot... So let’s take a look at this tax, put it in a wider context, and find out where that £300 figure came from.👍🏻 1/26 🧵

OK, so Helen Whately and the Express are doubling down and going all out hysterical at this point...🙄 They've actually "calculated" the state benefits a man with ELEVEN WIVES could claim!! And this time, they've done it behind a paywalled article🤷‍♀️ But don't worry, I got behind it!🤓 🧵1/20

Nicked it off someone on here - although I added an extra vowel…

Well, that Express headline was always going to raise a few eyebrows!😳 Starmer is responsible for embracing polygamy to appease Muslims, and so he's increasing their benefits?? That's the implication. After all, this "started in April", right? Wrong! 🧵1/25

Sorry, Keir, but why should only young people have Freedom of Movement? Why can't British adults also have the freedom to love, live, work, set up business and retire across our continent – just like the half a billion citizens of the EU do? Why do your red lines block that?

Hard to argue against

This is EXACTLY what Trump’s War is all about. MARKET MANIPULATION!!!!!!

Our new report: Richard Tice signed accounts wrongly claiming £98,000 of tax exemptions A 🧵 with the evidence:

9th anniversary of the Grenfell fire is approaching. 72 people died, thousands more scarred. Main causes remain unaddressed. Lust for higher profits Unaccountable corporate power Performance related executive pay Failure of regulators Indifference of govts to the cry of the people Nothing changed.

Successive governments have failed to learn lessons of Grenfell Tragedy

The conditions that facilitated the tragedy remain unchecked

Wes Streeting must kick Palantir out of our NHS. Donald Trump's favourite tech giant shouldn't be allowed anywhere near Brits' private health data. There are fantastic British tech firms who would be far better and safer for the NHS.

Here we go - 11 new announcements/achievements hardly whispered by our media. Or as a token gesture, shoved on page 13. Good things happening under our Labour Government. #DoingTheMediasJob #LaboursAchievements #FixingBritain
