Shame it’s not a Sherman - that would allow a Kemi’s Heroes joke and some reference to Badenoch being an Oddball.

Farage posted this at 12.38 today. It has been hopelessly overtaken by events and shown to be entirely wrong (British nationals involved and they've been released on bail - not very terrorist-like). And if you believe anything Trump says, you are a credulous moron.

If it’s dogging, it explains why Trump has been following them. I think the theory has legs.

I’ve worn a grubby RNLI cap for decades. I sound London, but I was born in Truro and I was a basically feral (Gen X) kid wandering the coast path with a dog until sunset for a lot of my early life. The lifeboats are in the fabric like trawlers and farms and pasties and fish and chips.

This is giving me a sense of deja vu - didn’t he say something very similar a while back? Maybe the BBC should keep an eye out for a change in his opinion and report back if that happens?

A short thread on “legitimate concerns”. The phrase is used repeatedly by UK government ministers. The Home Secretary is at it again this week. But only ever - as far as I can tell - in one context: people’s response to the arrival of asylum seekers. Please read whole 🧵before responding - thanks

Yeah, it’s asking people to recycle yoghurt pots to tackle climate change levels of passing responsibility back to the individual. We’ve already done our bit by getting them elected with a big majority, they should get on and do something about… well, various things, including political donations

Labour have just sent out an email asking for donations. Their answer seems to be countering 2 massive donation with lots of small ones 😬

It's really hard to take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere: removing something so dilute is like removing tiny needles from a gigantic haystack, again & again, at huge energy, financial & environmental cost. Very useful thread here on why we can't just assume CO₂ removal is a magic climate pill:

As a pure-of-heart wonk, I will not be commentating on the C4 bombshell, except to say that Reform thought the immigration hysteria meant the UK was primed for Trumpist, cynical rule-breaking. Perhaps they don't know their country.

Incredible moment in the doc when Farage’s right-hand man Dan Jukes lists several foreign donors who’ve given money to the party via their kids. It’s not just one or two backers - it’s a huge conspiracy cooked up by the party to break the law. It’s bigger than we even thought

So it looks like Reform policy chief James Orr has straight up broken the law here. It's also exactly the same crime Farage has been accused of re: George Cottrell donating via his mother and which Parliament is currently investigating.

One very striking thing watching this Channel 4 News / Verbatim investigation is…Nigel Farage and the people surrounding him are not exactly geniuses, are they? I mean this looks like blatant disregard for basic rules, but they've been caught out by the oldest trick in the book.

The fallout from the collapse of this glacier - a torrent of mud surging down the valley - killed hundreds of people. Gone, in a flash. Those people were wiped out by anthropogenic climate change. Our governments are simply not responding quickly enough to this disaster which is already upon us.
