In the past 10 days Russia has killed 23 sailors from NATO countries. Why isn’t this getting more attention?

Reform UK candidates caught saying some proper sick things about women and minorities in a new ITV undercover expose. Explains why the party has been panicking and lashing out at ITV over the past few days. The ITV documentary "Undercover: A Year In Reform" will air on 18th October.

Nigel Farage refusing to answer questions about sexism and racism in his party following yesterday’s ITV News report. One of his henchmen then physically stops the reporter. And when asked not to, he replies: “I can do what I want.” That is Reform UK in a nutshell. Well done 🎬 Melissa Sigodo.

The chief exec of TVCA who oversaw all of the contentious business dealings at Teesworks was Julie Gilhespie. She had no public sector experience before joining TVCA and became its head a year after joining. She left at the end of 2024 with a £55k redundancy payment and £153k pension top-up.

Disappointing Tees Valley CA needs yet another set of external inspectors to sort its problems out. I feel sorry for the current team of officers doing their professional best to turn around the mess they inherited but Lord Houchen and the former Chief Exec should hang their heads in shame.

Private water companies are trying to convince you that taking our water into public ownership is too expensive But we can bring water into public hands for LESS than they will siphon out of our bills over the next 5 years Public ownership now!

Graphic that says "Water privatisation is a scam. Public ownership now. £14 billion the cost of bringing water into public ownership, according to Moody's in 2019 VS £22 billion amount banks and shareholders will take out of our water bill in the next 5 years"

It would be wrong to “ban” books. Except that has not happened. Rooney’s books are still legal to sell (indeed they’re still on bookshop shelves). Rather she chose to pledge her royalties to fund a proscribed terrorist group - which is a crime in this country - so her publisher can’t pay royalties.

In addition to the racism and violent language about the King... Reform would appear to have a misogyny problem too. The party of "protect our women" looks like it needs to start that at home and warning this is offensive stuff. www.itv.com/news/2026-10...

Whelan then discussed another female Reform
candidate in Birmingham, saying that he "would
have been sniffing that seat as soon as she got up.
If she'd have given me a hug I'd have f******
fingered her".

The men then go on to discuss a female Reform
candidate from Solihull, using sexist and sexually
aggressive language.

"That's reminded me, I need to buy an orange in a
sock," said Councillor Feeney,

"If she was my daughter, it would still be bath night
on a Thursday. l'l wash you properly this time,"
added Whelan.

Her "immigration status" is that she's been a US citizen longer than either Melania Trump or Elon Musk. The Democrats SHOULD use this opportunity for 100% solidarity with one of their own, and throw the fucking kitchen sink at Trump and his Republicans. I doubt they will but would LOVE to be wrong.

People are claiming that Elon Musk messed with Starlink in Ukraine because Trump asked him. I think a more likely reason is that Ukraine damaging Russian data centers embarrassed Elon by showing how many of his Twitter followers are nonexistent and how much traffic on Twitter is driven by bots.

Menace to democracy Elon Musk has slowed Starlink to sabotage Ukraine and help Putin. So what country will be stupid enough to pay millions to any of Elon Musk's companies when they now know that he may unilaterally breach contracts for personal reasons on a petulant whim? Oh, I know! The US.

Just so you understand the scale of betrayal: first, our "partners" didn't warn Ukraine about the incoming ballistic missiles, so the air raid alert wasn't activated before impact, robbing people of their chance to survive. Then, Starlink was restricted to stop working at speeds above 100 mph.
