Zelensky has promised to stop the war between Trump and Musk in 24 hours.

Ben Habib - gone Rupert Lowe - gone Zia Yusuf - gone If Nigel Farage can't even hold this tiny group together, imagine what a disaster he would be in government.

No words! Reform UK councillors Joseph Boam, 22, now heads up adult social care at Leicestershire County, Charles Pugsley, 19, who is still at university, has been made cabinet member for children & family services both account for 75% of the council’s £616 million budget”

Is this what we call the "find out" phase!!! #TeslaTakedown www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Tomorrow's front page 📰 'No-show Nigel' launches bizarre rant against media during chaotic trip to Scotland

Ukraine has never targeted a refugee camp, it has never targeted civilian hospitals or schools, it has never systematically raped captured enemy combatants, it has never destroyed a US naval ship, it has never targeted journalists or aid workers with airstrikes. Ukraine is based.

The Telegraph is now having to publish so many corrections to articles where it attempts to find *any angle whatsoever* to attack net-zero polices that it makes sense to start tracking them here. These are the ones published since Labour won the election. "We are happy to correct the record."

Can someone find me my violin!

Your occasional reminder that in two years' time, Nigel Farage will be taking his gold plated £73,000 annual EU pension.

If only there was some way of knowing what caused all this…

Today's ethical question: which is worse - dodging a fare or claiming public money for the same journey twice?

Nigel Farage wants to dismantle our NHS and replace it with this ... meme via Clare Underhillhead

🚨 SHOCK: “Lovely Man” Who Slaughtered His Entire Family, Had “Never Done Anything Like This Before.” 👇🏻 It’s #BrokenNews. Please Watch and share. youtu.be/cHOi9Sfr-ug

🔴NEW:The dark money behind UK's anti-abortion backlash - Key US anti‑abortion lawyer funding Toby Young’s Free Speech Union - Alliance Defending Freedom’s UK spending soars Warnings of “obvious danger” of “importing America's toxic far right politics” democracyforsale.substack.com/p/us-antiabo...

Says the man who gave us the biggest tax burden since the War, highest ever national debt, largest fall in living standards on record and committed the biggest act of self-harm in our history with Brexit. Time to shut the fuck up you shambling oaf.

NEW: Megan Twohey and I went deep on Elon Musk’s intense drug use as he rose to political power alongside Trump last year. He was using so much ketamine that he told people it was affecting his bladder. At SpaceX, he is getting warnings ahead of drug tests www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

Or otherwise known as Tory fare evasion. #honestbobjenrick

While Robert Jenrick MP spends his days wandering about the underground tackling fare dodgers and going on about the capital for clicks... his constituency has a genuine problem. ● Newark crime rate: 123 crimes per 1,000 ● London 105.8 per 1,000 But you know... "Sadiq"

This brilliantly articulates why I will protest with #teslatakedown until it's a penny stock. "If Musk’s tenure with DOGE has shown anything, it’s that literally every company Musk runs is political."

Nigel Farage. The new Liz Truss.

“Liz Truss’s fantasy economics crashed the economy. My Government was elected to fix the mess. Now Nigel Farage wants to repeat her mistake. You can’t trust him with your job, your mortgage, your pension, your bills, or your future” Prime minister Keir Starmer responding to Reform UK policies

All you need to know about Elon Musk’s stunning success is that he lasted 2.65 Liz Trusses and lost 150 billion dollars.

It’s always “two weeks”

Last year we analysed some of Reform UK's tax proposals exclusively for @gurpreetnarwan.bsky.social and @news.sky.com. The tax cuts announced by Reform were both hugely expensive (costing £59bn a year) and highly regressive, benefiting the wealthiest households the most 🧵

Men are extremely keen to explain to me that Britain *needs* a domestic steel production plant and doesn't necessarily *need* universities. Okay. Steel contributed about £1.7bn to the UK economy in 2024. Universities contributed more than £200bn.

Given that both Boris Johnson and Michael Gove confessed to cocaine use, the co-ordinated string of Tweets from Tory frontbenchers attacking Sadiq Khan's entirely sensible call for cannabis decriminalisation are the height of hypocrisy

Superb graphic sent to us, help share it.

apnews.com/article/elon... he used his money to buy the WH, to destroy twitter & then came to take away the safety nets that have protected the citizens of this country so billionaires like him get bigger tax breaks. STFU #felonmusk #swasticar #tesla hope tesla continues to tank.

After being antagonistic to media outlets for the better part of the last 12 months, Musk is starting to do interviews with handpicked reporters and online personalities. It’s a strategy that he has turned to in the past (see 2018 Tesla “production hell”) when he wants to change the narrative.

You are personally ordering the deportation of people because of things they’ve said and op-eds they’ve written. You don’t give a fuck about free speech.

June is Pride Month. Let's call out companies who show support for LGBTQ+ people while also advertising on GB News, a channel that pumps out LGBTQ+ hate. Tell these companies to pick a side - hate or Pride: action.goodlawproject.org/pick-side-ha...

Going to keep saying it - the Farage effect is largely an illusion. Many, many more people loathe him than like him.

The world's largest solar panel in rainbow colours will be installed on the roof of @fcstpauli.com's stadium. The 1800m² panel on the Hamburg club's Millerntor-Stadion will save 135 tonnes of CO2 per year and be a "highly visible symbol for an open society & renewable energy".

Free speech latest. It's a good job Trump's cronies are coming to UK to police our 'free speech'. We probably need a list of what free speech is ok and what is not according to the US BBC News - US halts student visa appointments and plans social media vetting. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Wow. Tesla sales in Europe halved. I’ve never seen such a self inflicted wound to a brand.

Liz Truss is going to be the benchmark for political and economic failure for the rest of her life and beyond. What a legacy.

Just announced: I've been appointed chair of the newly-formed New Humanist editorial board humanists.uk/2025/05/27/i...

Farage: "Lucy Connolly should not be in prison... Understand, there were millions of mothers at that moment in time after Southport feeling exactly the same way. Connolly was imprisoned because she posted: “Set fire to all the fucking hotels full of the bastards… if that makes me racist so be it.”

Nothing says ‘party of the people’ and ‘transparency’ like having an influential treasurer that offshores their companies. Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy’s start-up fund lost £100mn over a decade www.ft.com/content/4617... Reform UK, party of hypocrites.

All the people complaining that the police have said the Liverpool driver was white British are the same people who made it necessary for the police to say he was white British.
