As part of our #StopTargetingMe campaign, our supporters demanded Farage’s Reform told them what data they held about them. Many of them never heard back. Reform has infringed their rights. So we’re taking the first steps in a legal process: https://t.co/yF1usDCcSo

Trump eluded to a "strategy" between he and Speaker Johnson to nullify the election results and throw it to the House to decide. There's a small problem with that... Presidential election results are certified on Jan 6th. A new congress is sworn in on Jan 3rd. The chances of

To be clear, there has been no cost of living crisis for the ultra-wealthy. Indeed, many have seen record increases in their wealth since 2020 Same for Big Oil, Supermarkets, Tech Companies, Private Healthcare, etc. Money made here should be taxed here. Wealth tax now!

🔴Wealth Tax Top 50 families have more wealth than half our population. Profit margins of average British firm have rocketed by 30% since before the pandemic. If we taxed 1% on wealthiest 1%, the so-called black hole would be gone.

These ex-Tory MPs complaining about being unable to find work should rewind the tape & listen to themselves talking about the lazy unemployed living off benefits. Why can’t they do some crop-picking or earn a minimum wage in a care home? They should ‘get on their bikes’ & STFU.

Everyone’s arguing about how to fill a £22 billion black hole whilst no one in government or the official opposition will acknowledge reality. It’s absolutely incredible we are tolerating their silence, whilst they piss cheerfully into the wind. Is any other country so infantile?

In 2016, the UK voted to leave the EU. Here's a 'Sliding Doors' style look at what we could have won had the Brexit vote gone the other way. (It's also a bare bones blueprint for some of the potential benefits that could be touted by a future Rejoin movement.) Each section

The Government is going to spy on your bank account for fraud, but literally has tens of billions in contracts with people whose bank account is in a tax haven. Which costs far more than any fraud, and is easily solvable, no UK bank account, no money.

Happy 20th birthday to the night that changed my life…🥳 Thanks Nas, I still owe you a beer…and thank you eternally to Jools & @BBCLater for giving an unknown kid a spot - especially one where I got to meet @RobertSmith from @thecure who even gave me a quote for my first press
20 YEARS AGO TODAY: Nas pulls out of Later With Jools Holland at short notice so they call for a little known Scottish singer-songwriter with a loop pedal. KT Tunstall becomes a star practically overnight.

The goat has spoken. 🐐 @Andre_Lotterer will leave Porsche Penske Motorsport at the end of this season, after a hugely successful stint with the team. The 8 Hours of Bahrain will be his last race with the #6 Porsche 963. 😢 #WEC #Porsche @PorscheRaces

The 35-point lead held by Porsche @Team_Penske #6 is the largest gap to P2 heading into the final race of a #WEC season, when the world title has not already been claimed. The previous high came in 2018/19, when Toyota #8 led by 31 points, and won the title. 📸: FIAWEC/DPPI
