NEW: Explosive new revelations from ex MI6 spy. Why *did* Boris Johnson block the publication of the Russia Report before 2019 Gen Election? Finally some answers.. Russian military intelligence - the GRU - targeted the Brexit vote. "Money changed hands" 1/ podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/f...

Remember when this constituted a major Presidential controversy?

Trudeau: "There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state"

The great thing about the American Constitution is all the checks and balances.

Morven making good use of the new fence posts 🙄 Happy #Coosday #arnbegfarmstayscotland #petcow

Here is a nice mushroom

This Petition just needs 5,000 signatures to get over the 100k needed for consideration for a Parliamentary debate By almost every economic and financial measure Brexit has been disastrous for the UK - lets start the conversation petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Sooo… Looks like this is happening tonight. That counter is going to tick over 100,000 🔥 Keep signing —> petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Google Maps has officially changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America" after Trump's executive order. And a new Republican bill would let Trump rename Greenland "Red, White and Blueland." Still no word on lowering the cost of groceries, however.

You have questions. Mostly of the "What Can I Do to Resist This Coup?" variety. Choose Democracy has answers. Here's a really handy guide to the how/what/why of organizing... Share widely. Link here: choosedemocracy.us/what-can-i-do/

I know people on bluesky know what's happening. I'm telling you people offline don't. Maybe flier your neighborhood

Love this new page that shows the impact MMHPI has had. Do take a look if you've a minute... www.moneyandmentalhealth.org/timeline/

Doing the rounds

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

"Farage would carve a wind-instrument from his own mother’s skull if it gave him a new way to blow his own trumpet" My bit for @bylinetimes.bsky.social on Brexit, the cancer currently celebrating 5 years of gnawing away at Britain's body politics. www.bylinesupplement.com/p/russell-jo...

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

"In the run-up to Brexit, a bleached grinch that nobody took seriously was transformed into a Question Time fixture so permanent, I’m surprised David Dimbleby didn’t use him as a desk" My bit on the Brexit anniversary for @bylinetimes.bsky.social www.bylinesupplement.com/p/russell-jo...

Freeland: Our retaliation is going to be a lot more surgical than that. We are going to go after American stakeholders who matter to The White House. I have proposed a 100% tariff on all Teslas. I am calling on all the countries that are affected by this tariff to join us

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

"Daddy says he owns you. Can you get me an ice cream?"

Never forget that Trump was the culmination of 40 years of stagnant wages, widening inequality, corruption, dog-whistle politics, and economic gains for the rich. If we fail to address this, we should expect future Trumps as far as the eye can see.

I had insomnia the night Russia invaded Ukraine and watched it unfold in real time. And tonight watching, here in London, that's what it feels like again. A dark, implacable malevolent takeover. That's accompanied by almost total silence amid so much noise. open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

You can ignore climate change. The political system can ignore climate change. But the insurance industry cannot ignore climate change.

The federal government promised it would reimburse farmers for millions in infrastructure investments, but Trump's funding freeze just left farmers on the hook. And if Trump's tariffs go through, farmers will be in even more dire straits. A "new Golden Age" for whom?

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.

🔥 Well... this is now over 88,000 signatures! Just one final push to get it over that magic 100,000 and get a parliamentary debate? Why not! Link --> petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Almost three years after Russia's latest invasion of Ukraine, is there a path to peace? This week I travelled to the war-ravaged country with David Lammy, the foreign secretary, to find out. Have a listen to our special behind-the-scenes episode. www.theguardian.com/politics/aud...

that’s right.

🚑 Time to recognise paramedics as an official emergency service Paramedics face immense stress yet lack official emergency service recognition. It’s time for fair rights, benefits and retirement protections | Brian McDaid @yorkshirebylines.co.uk

Important case last week in the High Court when environmental campaigners representing the public, challenged Thames Water’s attempt to raise a massive loan. Who will pay ultimately? Its 16M customers of course. westenglandbylines.co.uk/business/wat...

Thou shalt not spend millions on Super Bowl ads about Jesus when you could’ve used it to feed the hungry.

Kendrick Lamar managed to piss off all the right people. Well done.

More than 43,000 have now used our tool to complain to Ofcom about this loathsome GB News clip. We are approaching the 58,000 that would make it the most complained about ever segment of TV news. action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

2024: Rachel Reeves says the Conservatives left a £22 billion black hole 2025: "New data shows UK could be £26bn better off with ‘closer EU alignment’" Brexit is a failure because there's no way to increase trade by putting barriers to trade. End the madness
