Former Tory chief whip Simon Hart's memoir looks set to put firecrackers under Westminster... 🧨🧨 A raft of eye-watering stories like this one - about a Conservative MP requiring his assistance at dawn in a Bayswater brothel - from extracts in Times today alone

Jimmy Carter, a visionary on ending fossil fuels, put solar panels on the White House. Big Oil-backed Ronald Reagan ousted Carter in 1980 and ripped them out Tonight, as Carter lies in in state in the Capitol, a climate-fueled wildfire is destroying Reagan's former hometown of Pacific Palisades

$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.

The liars, of course, have all moved on to new cons & deceptions. The fishing industry can't. A vaguely honest media would be holding Farage & the rest to account for this instead of promoting a meaningless petition... www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/plymout...

This needs to be said, loud, and often.

He said he was going to buy 55,000 Bibles with taxpayer money and force every public school teacher to teach from it. Now he’s holding a $60 Trump Bible for his official announcement. Christian Nationalist Grifting.
