Supertanskiii never misses the mark. Right in the highest scoring central dot zone every time.
Show this to a flagshagger. They’ll hate it.

Reform isn’t a party. It’s a pyramid scheme. Farage and his billionaire donors aren’t patriots. They’re con men up to their BALLS in foreign money.

This explains how they do it.

Stop believing the bullshit.

@itvnews.bsky.social were apparently streaming Farage’s speech in Wales on TikTok today. So we can now expect Ed Davey, Adrian Ramsey, John Swinney and Rhun ap Iorwerth’s speeches being streaming too can we? This is now propaganda and has to stop.

The world has a glut of savings, and you might not think it, but that's not good news youtu.be/gii959E8f4o?... A savings glut creates global economic instability, and that's precisely the problem the world's got right now. The question is, what are we going to do about it?

WE WON!

The Supreme Court has upheld the right to wild camp on Dartmoor. This is a huge win for access to nature.

But we're just getting started.

It was never just about Dartmoor.

We’re fighting to extend the right to roam, swim, and sleep under the stars - across all of England.

Only 6% of Gen Z actually support dictatorship. So why did the media tell us it was 52%?

Our research exposes the misleading narratives around young people and democracy, write Prof Bobby Duffy and Dr Paolo Morini.
Young people don’t want dictators: they want government that works
New research finds that reports of a Channel 4 poll gave a very misleading picture of young peoples’ attitudes to government and democracy

Today, the Baltic states disconnected their power grids from that of Russia.

The Labour government have published their review of Johnson's New Hospital Programme which promised 40 new hospitals by 2030.

The basic finding: "To put it simply - there were not 40 of them, they were not all new and many were not even hospitals."

What would Reform do about potholes? youtu.be/AVr6eHq3PRw?... Managing potholes is a core, unglamourous and unthanked task of government. Reform only knows about gesture politics. Until anyone believes Reform can manage potholes they shouldn’t support them.

Jenrick: We talked about it... I wasn't... My portfolio... But we talked about it.

Given Musk's prominence and access to power, his continued interventions surely require a robust response at some point from the Government. With the Reform/Farage link, Musk isn't marginal
