A landlord making £100,000 a month says young people have “no excuse to be poor”. Excellent. I love financial advice. Gather round, children, let's examine how he himself stopped being poor. metro.co.uk/2026/09/20/i...

The RNLI has said the abuse of volunteers in Portsmouth has forced it to close the lifeboat station there and stop operating since September 10. Nearby stations have been providing cover to the area instead. One of the UK's largest coastal cities without a lifeboat because of the far-right.

Since its foundation in 1824 the bravery of Royal National Lifeboat Institution volunteers has saved more than 146,700 lives at sea. Hundreds of those volunteers have died attempting to save others. They are the best of us.

Finding it really telling right now we CAN arrest people holding signs peacefully about their political views. But we CAN'T arrest men beating women with literal sticks at Reform UK for expressing their views. So freedom of speech includes violence now for certain groups?

Just Stop Oil planned to block a road, they got 21 years. Far Right masked thugs actually blocked roads. Not one arrest, nothing.

Kent Police have confirmed they didn’t arrest a single person for the Dover protests this morning. Masked, balaclavas, blocking infrastructure, intimidating locals, dressed like paramilitary. If it were Just Stop Oil they’d be jailed for even discussing the idea on a fucking Zoom call.

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

"Heatwave hysterics wouldn't have lasted a day in 1976", overlaid with a bold “MONK DEBUNKED” stamp.

Farage plans to ditch workers’ rights, cut the NMW, scrap the Equality Act, legalise discrimination, take us out of the ECHR and have a deregulation bonanza to remove our protections and make it easier to exploit and endanger us… for profit. He couldn’t give a shit about working people.

Never forget, Cameron's Tories brought Brexit because Farage's UKIP was taking a bite out of Tory polling. Without a care, Cameron & Cabinet bet the nation for Tory Party benefit; to the absolute disastrous detriment of the nation.

Wealth of 157 UK billionaires now equals £670bn, 22% of GDP. Return on wealth (dividends and capital gains) is taxed at lower rates than wages. Extreme concentration of wealth facilitates political power, corruption, economic control. Wither democracy.

Farage didn’t turn up to 41 of 42 EU fishery committee meetings He won’t hold constituency surgeries He dodges high profile TV interviews He didn’t declare a £5mn gift He lied about buying a house, probably to avoid stamp duty. If he’s your answer, you’re asking a fucking stupid question.

● Typical cost of a Business Class flight to Maldives is £3,100 - £3,200+ return ● 2 of those minimum so £6,400+ ● Accommodation minimum of £250-£350 per night. Farage demands finer things in life though so can exceed £1,000 ● Gross household average salary Gorton & Denton £653 per week
