Never before has a politician announced their intention to run for re-election on an explicitly pro-sleaze, anti-transparency ticket. Never before has a politician gloried in having enriched themselves by breaking the rules, and then demanded a mandate to continue doing so indefinitely

Nigel Farage’s 'Pro-Sleaze' By-Election Is A Sign Of Terminal Weakness
The Reform leader's desperate decision to call a back-me-or-sack-me by-election is a sign of a politician who knows he is finally being exposed for the man he really is, argues Adam Bienkov

Fossil fuels are fuelling forest fires. Spain, Portugal and France are entering their 3rd heatwave in just 1 month. Wildfires are currently happening all over southern Europe. We need climate action now.

Flame icons mark currently active wildfires across the Iberian Peninsula, France, Italy, the western Balkans and western Türkiye.

Ah yes. We're paying billion dollar companies for not only war, but also for theme parks. They should fund it themselves instead of asking for help. Give it to those whom actually need help, like people in poverty; either in the UK or across the world. Heck it could even go on foreign aid.

The Government's plan to age gate benefits to 22 instead of 18 essentially means that you will not be an adult until you are 22. Will they raise Child benefits to 22 as well? No.

I am horrified and angered by the swastikas painted on homes and a synagogue in Forest Hills, including on a plaque honoring survivors of Kristallnacht. This is not just vandalism — it is a deliberate act of antisemitic hatred meant to instill fear.

There is no place for antisemitism in Queens or anywhere in our city. I stand in solidarity with our Jewish neighbors. Their safety, dignity, and belonging are non-negotiable.

The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating and I am confident those responsible will be held accountable.

Delighted to have been in the first twenty candidates to sign this pledge (even if it did take me a minute to find the graphic in my inbox!) 💚 @endconversiontherapy.scot
I've pledged to sort the ECT's campaign to end conversion practices in Scotland if elected to the Scottish Parliament on May 7th.
- to support a comprehensive and trans inclusive ban on conversion practices without exceptions or exemptions
- to defend an inclusive society where every LGBTQ+ person is free to live as who they are at home, at work, and in our community
- to oppose institutionalised conversion practices through the denial of healthcare to trans people

1,173 people were shot dead by "law enforcement" in the USA last year. In the UK, it was 2. The US population is 6x that of the UK, so go ahead and multiply the second figure by 6. Then explain to me why this massively disproportionate rate of killing is so.

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population. How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich? They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

HMRC trial of child benefit crackdown wrongly suspected fraud in 46% of cases
Exclusive: Almost half of families flagged as emigrants based on Home Office travel data were still living in UK Home Office travel records used in a trial of a controversial anti-fraud crackdown that under which thousands of parents lost their child benefit were so flawed that almost half of the families initially flagged as having emigrated were still living in the UK, it has emerged. The pilot scheme saved HMRC £17m but left 46% of families targeted incorrectly suspected of fraud, a margin of error far in excess of the 1% to 5% scientifically acceptable. Continue reading...
