TODAY'S LESSON ON GETTING CAUGHT OUT AND AN APOLOGY TO @krishgm Govt claimed yesterday that the £100 billion cost to nationalise the water industry is accurate and that the figures did not come from water companies. Really? Let's see shall we. On the 23rd July 2024 Baroness…
"Overtourism: Does Edinburgh's Royal Mile need 72 gift shops?" - I mean kind of great to see BBC Scotland picking up on Overtourism in Edinburgh. Ten years late but well done 🙌 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Incredible messaging by a Labour government
We're taking action to stop migrants working illegally as food delivery drivers.
Adidas has officially ended its collaboration with Bella Hadid after she spoke out against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. So much for freedom of speech — Apparently, Asking for not kill innocents has become a crime.
Bold. Well written
⏳ Final week to sign up to the Green Party. 🗳️ Vote for Bold Leadership on August 1st.
This Amazon driver was working all day delivering packages when she ran out of water because it was around 100 degrees where she was so since she was delivering a package to Starbucks she asked them if she could get a cup of ice water & they said no unless you buy something.😡
That it took a Tory to call out the behaviour of the Foreign Secretary and the conduct of the British Government over Israel is both shameful and revealing. bellacaledonia.org.uk/2025/07/22/tor…
Today David Lammy denied that RAF surveillance flights share information to Israel. Meanwhile, just over two months ago at the British Museum's Israeli embassy party, Maria Eagle boasted that the "UK stood with Israel with the RAF conducting surveillance flights" over Gaza.
📢 MARIA EAGLE, UK Minister for Defence Procurement and Industry, gave a keynote speech celebrating the RAF's surveillance flights over Gaza which has provided key intelligence to Israel to enact their genocide in Gaza.
Any American journalist who doesn’t instantaneously see what this is—Ghislaine Maxwell, urgently seeking a pardon from Trump, negotiating privately to say whatever he wants her to say in public to get a pardon (now or any time during her 20-year prison bid)—should quit their job.
We are through the looking glass folks
More arrests in Edinburgh. One of the signs which led to an arrest under the Terrorism Act says: “Those who take action against genocide in Palestine are not the terrorists”
A German ( former nazi) immigrant built the rocket that got them to the moon 🤦🏻
MILLER: If you look at photos of the Empire State Building being built, you don’t see any illegal aliens. When you look at the photos of the NASA control room during the moon landing, you don’t see any illegal aliens. Americans built, sustained, and powered this country for two…
It’s worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.
My friend, the brilliant Matt Rendell, reveals the cynicism of fossil fuel sponsorship - aka sports/greenwash - in elite cycling. It's everywhere in sport, like tobacco sponsorship once was, but feels worse in cycling that should be pedalling forward the green transition...👇👇👇

David Lammy says it would be wholly inappropriate for the British public to know if US nuclear weapons are now stationed on UK soil.
#UK:OK
NEW: Scottish energy bills will go up this autumn ... to pay for construction of English nuclear power plant Sizewell-C The extra fees are coming because the project costs have spiralled from £20bn to £38bn. The news was snuck out today, before recess. thenational.scot/news/25332901.…
⚡️This moment marks a point of irreversible fracture in the legitimacy operating system of the United States. Trump isn’t simply lashing out - he’s hijacking the myth of statehood itself, using the very language the state reserves for existential enemies. Treason is not just a…
🚨 BREAKING: President Trump says Barack Hussein Obama is guilty of treason. Holy crap. "The leader of the gang: Barack HUSSEIN Obama, have you heard of him?... HE'S GUILTY! It's there! He's guilty, this was TREASON. This was every word you can think of." "We have all of the…
This is the Reform’s latest recruit, Senedd member Laura Anne Jones, who said a few years ago that she “would like to do a spot of chav shooting” - adding it’s “a shame that isn’t legal”. Not denying the threat from Reform but also, when they make contact with campaign reality...
