Invest in #greeneconomy not airports, #proportionalrepresentation. Everyone is a 1st class person! Everyone has their own "obvious"! If all vested interest groups worked together we could have have decent standards for EVERYBODY.

John Dalton - brain marinated in woke sauce. They/themThe £5m gift to Nigel Farage by a cryptocurrency billionaire was reported to the National Crime Agency by bankers who were concerned it may have been laundered money, the Guardian can reveal. www.theguardian.com/politics/202... #newsnight
Glad that issue has finally gained traction. Failure to enshrine repayment threshold in law was an act of usurious behaviour by Tories. It should have immediately been reversed by Labour not perpetuated with further freezes. #r4today #politicslive www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2026/07...

I Am IncorrigibleNigel Farage: privately educated, ex-City metals broker, 30-year political insider, sitting MP, would-be PM, is calling the Sunday Times investigation an "establishment hit job." The man who has been on the BBCs Question Time more than any other guest in history. That establishment. 🧵 #r4today

Broken Politics 🌍Love this... Where can we buy the flags? #r4today #wato #ukpolitics #Farage
Good point but does anyone who wouldn't vote Tory or reform anyway actually watch? #r4today
Ed WilsonHas anybody calculated the value of benefits in kind received by Farage and Reform in the form of broadcasting time on GBNews? If any other party had to pay for such exposure, the Electoral Commission might be interested in large numbers and Parliamentary authorities certainly should be. #R4Today

alexvonwitzlebenSwitzerland mandated in 2023 that all new buildings exceeding 300 square metres of roof area must install solar panels covering a minimum percentage of that surface — the most aggressive building-integrated solar mandate in continental Europe #ActOnClimate #SolarPower #Renewables
Nuclear weapons are the one thing we should NOT ditch. Most urgent action shld be get into a pact with EU neighbours (by rejoining or otherwise); as a 500m combined population, we MAY just have a chance of scaring off potential attackers. #newsnight
Ed WilsonI'd ditch the nuclear deterrent force, but that wouldn't save a penny. Sorry, it would save money in cancelling a new set of submarines stretching into the distant future. #R4Today
Interesting; very interesting. We could be so much more imaginative with expansion of #solar UK needs to embrace renewables & look for win win uses eg over car parks; growing certain crops UNDER raised panels and this. Stop arguing and collaborate. #politicslive #r4today

Nice to see @vicderbyshire.bsky.social in charge on #bbclauak but I cant cope with Morgan; master of sophistry, saying a few things which ppl are going to agree with & sliding in some poison along the way. TBF gets good write up in bio of Gordon Brown tho! #wato www.waterstones.com/book/gordon-...

Fossil fuels WILL run out and they do pollute both locally and globally. It makes inexorable sense to reduce our reliance on them and invest in sustainable alternatives. That shld be the basis for energy policy. #r4today #politicslive

And after @bbclaurak.bsky.social had labelled Burnham the "self-styled King of the Norf "which really isn't my impression of the guy at all. Is he perfect; no! Will a Labour govt with Burnham involved be better than Farage and his buffoons - yes x 1000! #r4today
