We live under a 3km blanket - paper thin - that makes Planet Earth 🌍🌎 uniquely friendly to life and protects us from the unimaginable horribleness of space. So we would look after that blanket like our lives depend on it. Wouldn't we? 💙💛 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇪

Down court! Down king!

If you ever feel exhausted for caring about the destruction of the planet, the rise of racism or the wellbeing of others then just remember this: Very bad people are pouring billions into far right propaganda to try to radicalise you and it hasn’t worked. You’re unfuckwithable.

Blistering piece from @iandunt.bsky.social on Matthew Goodwin's visit to London. "The success of London is a point-blank, up-against-the-wall-motherfucker refutation of the right-wing populist world view." open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/...

I don't want to hear "we can't afford it" one more time from Labour. Not while they continue to reinforce their Brexit red lines. The amount of money being left on the table by not seeking to rejoin the EU is eye-watering. The tax lost to Brexit would have paid for everything Labour needed.

I don’t remember my expectations for the future pre invasion, but it’s neat that I have a little app with a cool interface on my phone where I can watch live how killer drones are moving towards my city, everything is truly computer

"Sir John Major turned his guns on Brexiteers and President Trump and called for Britain to re-join the single market and customs union" Finally, an adult in the room squashing that Brexit elephant

I hope everyone on this website thinks very carefully about this graph and then considers whether or not they need to reorder their priorities at all.

Someone needs to set up a pro-joy, pro-success pressure group, that goes around telling people who write this stuff to get a better job and go out and do enjoyable things.

China installed 93 GW of solar capacity last month, almost 100 solar panels every second 🤯 "And between January and May, China added 198 GW of solar and 46 GW of wind, enough to generate as much electricity as Indonesia or Turkey." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

This is the breaking news from the House of Lords that we all need. (Not a spoof.)

🚨🚨 It is #danielhannan day today: let us recapture the brilliance of Hannan's predictions of what #Britain would look like after #brexit. It is a simultaneously comical and tragical enterprise so here we go. 🧵 www.reaction.life/p/britain-lo...

Two days before the 2016 Brexit referendum, Daniel Hannan wrote about what life would be like in Britain on 24 June 2025. (The least accurate thing ever written about Brexit.) A week ago, he wrote in the Telegraph that Britain is turning into a third world country. He got paid for both articles.

It's Daniel Hannan Day. Rejoice, Rejoice. Or something.... rolandmcs.substack.com/p/daniel-han...

Rejoice: Today is #danielhannanday. Let's honour the British values of genuflecting to posh people who refuse to accept responsibility for being wrong and rewarding them with honours. We are making our country great again. www.reaction.life/p/britain-lo...

It's here! It's finally here! It's Daniel Hannan Day! The future he promised everyone a mere 2 days before the Brexit referendum is so exciting, I think my heart may burst with joy when I step outside and experience it for myself. (Read it. You deserve a laugh.) www.reaction.life/p/britain-lo...

Foreign secretary David Lammy tells Reform's Sarah Pochin to "get off social media and get help" As she spouts nonsensical conspiracy theories in parliament

Ok, British media. You have here all the information you need to scrutinise Farage/Reform’s latest populist, headline-grabbing tosh. If you’re still handing out free ‘Robin Hood’ passes to them now we have the details, then you are actively deceiving voters and undermining democracy. Just don’t.

From the very same paragraph in Orwell's essay: "England has got to be true to herself. She is not being true to herself while the refugees who have sought our shores are penned up in concentration camps, and company directors work out subtle schemes to dodge their Excess Profits Tax."

“Leavers thought they'd won. Remainers knew we'd all lose; that leaving the EU would be catastrophic, not just for our economy and living standards, but in validating an ugly wave of populism and nativism which continues to this day.” ~AA @pimlicat.bsky.social www.bestforbritain.org/brexit_9th_a...

We will be properly honouring ‘Daniel Hannan Day’ on Tuesday with all the requisite pomp, circumstance & documentary evidence of what an irredeemable arse he is that you would expect. Elevating our world’s wrongest man to the House of Lords will always be the essence of Brexit. Do join us…

24 June 2025 is this Tuesday coming. There's still time. Don't stop Beleaving. #DanHannanDay

MORNING ALL! Today is the 9th anniversary of the Brexit vote. How do we all think it’s gone so far?

Nine years ago the godfather of Brexit, Lord Daniel Hannan, predicted life in Brexit Britain in June 2025. Roll the tape… (VO by @gavinesler.bsky.social. Part 2 below👇)

Russia: "The work was completed on time, the asphalt has been laid, the roadway is open to traffic. This is a good example of the implementation of a national project."

🚨🚨 #brexit anniversary: Office of Budget Responsibility predictions of £ 40 bn hit to public finances has proven correct according to research by top economist @johnspringford.bsky.social . www.thetimes.com/article/346e...

📊NEW ANALYSIS📊 Just 3% of the UK population take 30% of the fights. When this government expands UK airports, this 3% benefit the most. Who are these people? Introducing... the ultra-frequent flyer. Our research with Possible. 1/5

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

Trump’s attacks on Iran are another hugely dangerous escalation. Unjustified, illegal, provocative; they make the world less safe, not more. The UK must condemn these attacks and make clear it will provide no support.

What a chart. The Iran nuclear deal Trump I tore up was working perfectly - Iran was not enriching in that era. Now, Trump is dancing on the edge of a volcano in the hopes of getting precisely that kind of deal back.

One from the archives. Just imagine if the government had listened to us 6 years ago and taken back control of our water then. We could've saved £billions on dividend payments and spent that money cleaning up our rivers - in time for a swim this weekend!

Great article. Please read and share

🚨 “Not For EU” Label. Check your asparagus. 🇲🇽 Mexican asparagus in @sainsburys may be grown with pesticides banned in the EU, including carbofuran and paraquat. 🥵 No EU label = No EU safety standards. 🇬🇧 Post-Brexit, UK rules are weaker. 🧪 Lower testing. Less traceability. More risk.

When I first saw the headline I assumed it was an error, but on reading the piece I see that no, the Home Office is genuinely suggesting that two children go and live in Brazil without their parents, who are both legal UK residents and employed.

2016 cette chef célèbre supportait le #Brexit car elle gobait les mensonges que "Bruxelles" et la paperasserie détruisaient les jobs.

Don’t let this drop off the news cycle - even with everything else happening that takes our attention, Ukraine deserves to be central to all of our political conversations.

We do not need new roads; we need better transport options. Think of what could be done with £9.2bn, which is to be spent on just 14 miles of road! It could transform bus services and/or cycling and pedestrian infrastructure across Britain. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

As predicted, the front pages of BBC & CNN are full of Israel-Iran. Nothing on Gaza or West Bank. Remember that all comms are cut in Gaza as they starve. Exactly what Netanyahu wanted. They can do anything they like now as the vapid MSM chase the new squirrel released for their distraction.
