That’s a very good point 👇🏼

Starmer apologises and gets savaged for it by MSM..

Farage breaks MP rules 17 times, lied about house in Clacton, lied about being told not to hold surgeries, lied about using a tax haven.. says he made mistakes and MSM let it go at that 🤷🏼‍♂️
Keir Starmer took time to apologise for appointing Mandelson to be UK Ambassador to the US to the victims of Epstein.

That puts him miles above all Reform and most Tories.

Farage’s Reform UK likes to pitch itself as the party of “freedom” – free speech, free thinking, free markets. But a very different picture emerges when you follow the growing constellation of Reform politicians & advisors who are orbiting the authoritarian regime of Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán

I always have a walk on Christmas morning, this morning it was dry and bit frosty, but after all the dull days recently, it just lifts the soul.

A sort of tradition for me, is shooting this tree at this time of year, most of the time I get that one morning where the glow of the dawn makes the sky glow orange. When I started shooting this, there was none of the turbines on the distant hills.

Today's reminder: Nigel Farage is a traitor to our nation. He has accepted money from foreign governments and organisations that are enemies of our government and must face justice.

Gaza does not need another phase or “Board.” Gaza needs legal redress for an Israeli system of cruelty. It must be granted unimpeded ingress and egress by land, sea, and air. Gaza must not be condemned to survive as a managed humanitarian dependency, rationed by aid and policed by donors.

Trump is just a symptom. 38%-40% of Americans think Trump is doing a fine job. The rot runs very deep.

🌧️ A rainy country running out of water? Absurd - and very real.

Decades of under-investment & profit-first water companies have left our system dangerously fragile.

The public has paid the bills through rising costs. Now companies must invest - before taps, food security &our economy run dry.

“Sleepwalking towards running out of water” ~ James Wallace @riveractionuk.bsky.social

In documents uncovered by Watershed, regulators warn companies they must act now to reduce the amount of water they're pumping, fix leaks + address chemical pollution:

It feels wrong that an MP can get elected on one platform and then just... swap? 🤷‍♀️ I’ve signed this to demand a by-election when MPs cross the floor. Let's make sure our votes actually count. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...
MPs shouldn't be able to switch parties without asking us first!
I just signed a petition calling for mandatory by-elections when an MP changes their political party. We vote for a specific manifesto and set of values—if that changes, we should get to vote again. I...
