100+ reasons to end factory farming. Reason number 2: around 85% of animals farmed in the UK are estimated to be factory farmed. A massive source of animal suffering.

Labour and Burnham have been silent on capping political donations while Reform gets £72 million from Farage's billionaire mates. We need @zackpolanski.bsky.social in Parliament to hold Labour to account, not another Labour backbencher to wave through Burnham's policies without scrutiny.
A quote from Rachel Millward, Deputy Leader of the Green Party. It reads, "Reform is a vessel for the super wealthy. They will always act in the interests of the super wealthy. Labour could have stopped this years ago by capping donations. Burnham promised to do it then backtracked. Will he now admit this was a mistake? Burnham and Labour have been quiet on a donations cap for the last 24 hours. The public needs to know where he stands."

I do find odd that we all apparently enjoy the right to enter a hotel uninvited, go to the guest floors, knock on the doors of complete strangers on the grounds that they are not white - and yet not commit any offence.

Labour only got rid of Starmer because they felt electoral pressure from the left, they only went with Burnham because of that pressure & they'll only deliver left wing policies if they continue to feel that pressure. Donate to Zacks campaign here: donatetothe.greenparty.org.uk/london-by-el...

This feels like it got buried amid all of the mounting allegations around Reform and Farage's funding. Farage leases property that he owns, to his own company, at exactly £10,000/year. That's a penny under the "over £10,000" rental-income declaration threshold. What is he trying to hide?

Given the BBC have a largely sensible set of guidelines on the use of quant polling in news stories, including a ban on a poll being a story in itself, it's always so baffling they have next-to-no similar rules on what is ultimately rudimentary qual polling. It's an insane double-standard.

Why would Nigel Farage, a man who lives for his appearances in front of the media's cameras and microphones, suddenly decide to hide away and post from his bunker? 🤔 I've asked myself that question five million times and I simply cannot come up with an answer. 🤷
Screencap of Nigel Farage tweet:

"The mainstream media constantly distorts what I say. You can no longer rely on them to report the truth.

That's why I've decided to speak to you directly and launch my essays to Britain.
