This is a day after the #wolfmoon, taken on phone, and through the bedroom window from last night.
May not be the best, but came out quite nice really.
We’re looking back over our most read articles in 2025. 👇
9️⃣ @oliviarosebarb.bsky.social reported on Nigel Farage finally admitting to knowing Nathan Gill.
New year, same reminder: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.
You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

At last the Impact of Brexit is being called out
“When we left the European Union we left the Dublin Convention & that means where as before we could have returned people to the continent, back to the first safe country they arrived in, that doesn’t exist anymore”

Adam Schiff, James Comey, Letitia James, Lisa Cook. in every single one of those instances Trump has been told that there is no case, but he continues to push it.
it's okay to say it, media. it's political persecution. it's authoritarianism. it's impeachable. it's dictator sh*t.
We need to rewild 30% of the planet to restore nature & protect our wildlife, but Britain is falling behind. So I've signed this new petition calling on one of our biggest landowners - the Church of England - to rewild its land. Join me? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...
Exceptional from Zack Polanski on a 1% wealth tax and aligning CGT on earned income #C4News
The Greens are proposing what Labour should have rolled out when they came into power in 2024
I'm pro wealth, pro entrepreneurialism, pro innovation, but I'm also pro wealth taxes on those with £10m+
EXCLUSIVE - Today the Guardian is publishing the Boris Files
A trove of leaked data from the office of Boris Johnson.
It reveals how Johnson is using the relationships forged in the UK’s highest elected office to facilitate his personal enrichment.

President Trump’s federal takeover of D.C.’s local police is unprecedented. “The last person who asserted the authority to use military personnel for routine law enforcement anywhere in the country for any reason was King George,” a legal scholar said.
Left: Conservative Shadow Transport Secretary Richard Holden says Angela Rayner owning two homes is a "huge property portfolio"
Right: That time Conservative MP Jeremy Hunt bought 7 flats from Conservative donor Nicolas James Roach, who donated £5k to the Conservatives and £50k to Jeremy Hunt
Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.
Between 2010 and 2024, the Conservative party closed 20 prisons across England & Wales. TWENTY.
The closures reduced cap by 13,000.
They were of course warned pre-Pandemic of an impending crisis. They did fuck all.
QUESTION: Do you think ANY of that is acknowledged in this Daily Mail piece?
Begging just *ONE* journalist this morning to ask Nigel Farage or Richard Tice if they've decided how they're going to pay for those £90bn taxcuts yet.
I mean assuming Tice isn't working-from-Dubai today of course.

Nine months on and Labour are still sticking to their promise not to penalise ‘Working People,’ by focusing instead on those who can’t work or are retired.
Labour should have said they are investing £1 billion to help those not in work or education to get help to get work - everybody would have supported this
Instead, the Resolution Foundation estimate that a million poor, sick, and disabled people will lose £4,000 a year, as a result of these cuts
Utterly predictably, Putin rejects the unconditional ceasefire offered by Ukraine, sends Trump off on the errands of making the Russian invasion easier and denying Ukrainian sovereignty, while Trump claims he has accomplished something.
Jeez this is awful. Resolution Foundation warns changes to rules for PIP disability benefit could cost up to 1.2m people between £4,200 and £6,300 a year. What is this government thinking? Has it gone completely mad?

The reason Israel *keep* bombing Gaza despite the human cost, even as you explain to them that murdering 400 civilians to get to ONE Hamas leader is as bad as them murdering 1,200 Jews to get to ONE Cabinet..
