BREAKING: Equinor has admitted that the massive Rosebank oil and gas field in the UK would cause vast climate damage.

*Pretends to be shocked* 😲

The UK government must STOP Rosebank, and instead focus on creating jobs in North Sea renewables!

Rep Luna tweet:

My office just received word from the @RusEmbUSA
that the ambassador from Russia to the United States will be hand delivering the @GovernmentRF
’s findings on who assassinated JFK to my office.

This is a 350 page document.

We will be uploading these documents as soon as we receive them working with @jeffersonmorley
to ensure that the American people have direct access to them immediately.

It is important to note that Congress attempted to obtain these files in the 90’s and was denied. We have been given access to them now for the first time in history.

In the month since I was elected leader of the Green Party, we have gained a new member equivalent of every single minute. 24/7.

We're all smiling. But we've also got a big job to do.

Let's make hope normal again.

Visibly enthusiastic, incredibly articulate and with a winning smile that never left his face, Zack seemed entirely at home

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

How would you feel if:

- you ended up with a Reform MP after the 2029 General Election

- who only got 20% of the vote

- and over 50% of people in your constituency had voted LD/GRN/LAB/YP

- and this happened around the country giving Reform 400 MPs and total power

Don’t forget FPTP.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

More than just a bad apple: why we must look closer at the Nathan Gill scandal

New evidence connects the Ukrainian politician who paid bribes to Gill - Reform UK’s former leader in Wales - to a campaign to destabilise the US election

@carolecadwalla.bsky.social reports

The contact of Reform UK's Russian puppet Nathan Gill is linked to efforts to destabilise the US and Ukraine. Why, even now, is no one asking questions?

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

I said months ago that Badenoch was trashing a key convention regarding opposition in matters of security.

Today was sadly a continuation of it. Imagine declaring that it's UK criticism that has "strained relations with Israel", rather than Netanyahu's war crimes.

Desperate, immoral, and so cheap.

Alex Andreou @sturdyalex.bsky.social · Mar 5

Badenoch is treading an unasavoury line at #PMQs. She supports the PM, but not really. She supports Ukraine, but not really. She supports our troops, but not really.

I know it's difficult for LoTO to get noticed in a crisis, but her unpopularity and lack of grip does not override national security.

They are sweating.

From 2010-2024 the richest 1% tripled their wealth, gaining more than £2tn. Nearly £3m each.

While everyone else got poorer.

It's time for richest to pay, instead of you.

Someone said to me, "There's all these problem in the world, how can they be solved, it's impossible."

I told them, "Those 'problems' are all just symptoms of the only problem that we have."

"The richest have far too much money, and far too much power."
