++BREAKING++ Leading climate scientists in the UK have written to senior editors in broadcast media - and OFCOM and IPSO: "To express our concern about recent media coverage of extreme weather, climate change and net-zero and to urge you…to inform public audiences of the scientific links"

Exactly 10 years since the Brexit vote, the verdict is in.

Well this should cement the message to Andy Burnham and all at Westminster! "The words BREXIT BROKE BRITAIN have been carved into a Wiltshire, with the letters so big they could be seen from space" #LedByDonkeys

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

I do crosswords in lower case. Fight me.

Grrrrrrrrr! www.thenewworld.co.uk/jonty-bloom-...

A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenot.bsky.social Huge kudos to all involved for doing the job the UK police & CPS failed to do: naming the alleged spymaster & clearly showing Kremlin’s role. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

All together now! ... "But Nige did take five million quid, and Nige would take five million more!" 💥💥💥 #RefUKkers

Happy 80th Birthday to our Cognitive-Test-Acer-In-Chief! @theonion.com

I am appropriating the #BSPP54 of #StaticBelief for my final #PoetsOfDoom homage to Dorothy Parker before I hand over to @daveashleypoet.bsky.social #BlueSkyPoetry @sonnetsmith.bsky.social @phylogeneticsteve.bsky.social

Well that didn’t take long, another summer of #FarageRiots ingerland playing in the World Cup will only keep them distracted for three games.

@bencollins.bsky.social do you realise how close to reality you're getting?

I finally got my new watch from @repebble.com! It's the watch I've been waiting 14 years for! And, seriously, it's probably the first gadget in that time I've actually been excited for, and in the hand it's exactly what I hoped it would be. Everyone involved: well done, you delivered.

Two nights ago, I said Trump had been using our troops as pirates in Iran and a Republican got mad. Well… the president just admitted it. He literally bragged about doing piracy.

Pope Leo turned the question around like the boss he is.

I'm always skeptical of BBC-bashing, but BBC News website hasn't reported on the Tice tax scandal since 12 April, when the headline was "Tice £91,000 tax row is 'minor administrative error', party claims".

Most people don’t know this: Heat pumps REDUCE gas consumption even if running 100% on electricity from a gas fired power plant. More here in my piece for @carbonbrief.org👇 interactive.carbonbrief.org/factcheck/he...

Every council should follow suit.

Here I am congratulating the randomly chosen lucky winners of our energy bills prize draw. Oops... sorry, wrong picture - this is a photo of us from seven years ago.

Farage, Reform, the BBC and almost all UK newspapers ignore this, but always focus their anti minority hate agenda on other smaller non-white perpetrator cases. This one is massive, but is ignored by the UK propaganda machine.

Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK. Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I'm a vicar in a small rural village. I could never say this to my flock because of the outcry, but Reform are blatantly opposed to genuine Christian values and it's clear that anyone considering voting for them has not been listening to a single word I say each week

Plenty have clocked how Nigel Farage talks to women journalists — pure condescension: “listen, love,” “go write your silly little story.” Know your place. No shock from a man who praises Andrew Tate. The real surprise? It’s only being called out now.

The good people of Munich are out in force.

There were 36 votes between the Green Party and Reform. 36 votes. Reform are absolutely stoppable - and the Green Party can win with our message to lower bills, protect the NHS and rebuild public services. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Statement from Manchester Mayor, Andy Burnham in response to Jim Ratcliffe’s disgusting and racist comments & saying ‘the UK has been colonised by immigrants’ For those who don’t know, Ratcliffe is a co-owner of Manchester Football Club. He’s an immigrant living in Monaco so he avoids UK tax.

It's because he doesn't treat the media as pals, they've become so used to a very unhealthy cosy relationship with the Tories they've forgotten how to be journalists.

Exactly 💯

Then they came for the reporters....

🚨BOOM! Now over 90,000 signatures! The Petition calling for by-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party is getting so close to the 100,000 needed. Let’s keep going! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Never forget: never let anyone else forget either.

This story from Switzerland is horrible, and also a reminder to get rid of Facebook. A family member with terminal Facebook has already read that this was a deliberate attack by Terrorist Muslim Migrants™ and will not hear differently, despite police saying explosives and terrorism weren't involved.

Salisbury poisoning report concludes Putin approved terror operation From the new Private Eye, out now.

The Irish know their breakfasts. I had no reason to doubt before, but now I have proof.

Unebelievably, I am older than Nige Fartrage. I grew up with Alf Garnet, Love Thy Neighbour and Bernard Manning, on TV almost every night. At no point then – or since – have I made "jokes" about gassing Jews or that black people are unworthy (or worse). He was – and is – misogynist and racist.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

”Reform UK's barrister tried to scare us. Our advice to other news sites: don't play the bullies game." Martin Shipton from @nation.cymru on being bullied by Reform's lawyers: www.thenerve.news/p/reform-nat...

- A 100,000 drop in net migration costs us £7bn - Scrapping the two-child benefit cap costs us £3bn What gets more attention? James O’Brien says 'we have become a ludicrous country'.

I saw this up in Manchester, right next to a busy tram stop in the city centre. Bravo to whoever is responsible.

Two key differences, I think, have so far saved the UK from full-on MAGA madness: our relationship to religion and our regulation of guns. We should be fully prepared for the far right to start prodding both. ~AA www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Brexit has caused almost twice as much damage to the UK economy than estimated by official forecasts, according to new paper from a group of experts including a senior Bank of England economist

The Ship Of Theseus has a single entry in Wikidata so that's that.

🎯 Davey is spot on. "We can have criticism of the BBC, but within that, we need to recognise how valuable an institution it is [and how] precious to our country. And that's one of the reasons why people like President Trump and Nigel Farage, want to undermine the BBC." 👏🏽~AA
