🔴 We asked Tony Blair's think tank about charging businesses £500k for political access at party conferences and why one of its sponsor's logos disappeared after our reporting last week on TBI's alleged cash for access scheme

When it’s left-wing protesters, Home Secretaries have changed the law so they are now criminals. When far-right criminals break the law, they’re asked not to break the law again 🙄

Need to harness the power of Bluesky, so reposts are appreciated.

If anyone here, or anyone you know attends Bangor University (the Welsh one) and needs a room for the upcoming year, get in touch. One of my son's housemates has dropped out at the last minute, so their house is one short.

The Public Order Act 1936 makes it illegal to wear political uniforms. Indeed, the legislation was designed specifically to prohibit Blackshirts. Just saying.

Fed up with people shirking responsibility by arguing that the UK causes just 1% of emissions?

Here are two fantastic analogies from a primary school teacher, Mark in Coventry, who called Sheila Fogerty on @lbc.co.uk - one involving dog poo 😆

Really? Is that it? If this is all that’s come from COBR, it’s pitifully inadequate. As crisis deepens, it beggars belief that there aren’t eg plans to increase resources for the fire service, support for farmers, max workplace temperature, funded community cool spaces & obvs ban on new fossil fuels

Andy Burnham says the bigger questions of oil and gas will come "at the right moment in time."

On the eve of another heatwave when thousands of people have died already, when is a better time to rule out drilling for new oil and gas?

Fritz Lang didn't build a seventy-foot-long mechanical dragon, operated from the inside by ten puppeteers, breathing out actual fire via a built-in skull flamethrower, in Die Nibelungen (1924) so you could rock up and tell me "AI is inevitable".

Do you want to hazard a guess at what this “jaw-dropping” list of freebies included?

What luxuries asylum seekers might be being given “for free” in Thetford?

Xboxes? Plasma TVs? iPhones? Ferraris?

Elaine in this article "can't remember the last time she used her oven" but also spends £200 a month on petrol (so driving probably ~50 miles a day?)

As Andy Burnham promises “breathing space” for households, millions are unable to buy items such as clothing, heating and food.

Susanna Reid: "You've been in govt for 2yrs. Why has it taken you 2yrs to decide that you can do something for bus fares?"
