Just weeks after Professor Jason Arday was hounded to his death, Reform UK’s branch in Oxford has invited the racist academic who led the campaign, Nathan Cofnas, to speak.
Tell the education secretary to protect students and academics from hate:

This is literally the end of the rule of law.
If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

On Monday this stag was hounded to exhaustion by the Quantock Staghounds before being shot. Dogs, riders, and even quads hunted the animal, hounding him for three hours until he could move no more. Then the gunman approached and finished him off. 1/3
I have heard rumours that Richard Tice heads a company called Britain Means Business, that has no employees and sells no products but takes in very large donations from foreign based people and forwards them to Reform UK Ltd. I can't believe this is true, but if it is it should bring down Reform.
Actress Susan Sarandon being arrested earlier today for protesting Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech at the United Nations. One is speaking out against genocide, one is committing it. One was arrested, one was not.
Why don't the Tories suggest doing something about this rather than attacking the poorest and most vulnerable?
It couldn't be anything to do with the Tories being tax avoiders, could it?
Every year, HMRC, by its own estimates, fails to collect 46.8 billion of tax. See webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/202606...
How about hiring more people to retrieve this avoided tax before suggesting funding defence by cutting welfare to the poorest and most vulnerable?
Just saying.
On Tues @hopenothate.org.uk revealed that Kent police may have ignored a 999 call from the village of Preston. I spent the day there this week, hearing from residents whose village was effectively overrun hopenothate.org.uk/2026/09/07/e...

Thinking about the UK gov report "National Security Assessment on Global Ecosystems", Feb 2026.
The language is incredibly stark. And it's *national security*, not exactly from tree-huggers:
"Global ecosystem degradation & collapse threaten UK national security and prosperity... (high confidence)"
🚨🚨Another utterly disgraceful act by the #Trump administration.
The US has sanctioned the president of the international criminal court ( #ICC) and a prosecutor tasked with investigating crimes committed by #Israel during its war on #Gaza.

Grenfell Tower cladding firm Arconic paid almost twice as much compensation to its shareholders for economic loss from misleading statements about the cladding than to the estates of the victims and to survivors of the fire: Report from @cmmonwealth.bsky.social: www.common-wealth.org/publications...
Laughably, stag hunts claim they chase deer for "research and observation", a loophole in the Hunting Act. Two hounds are allowed, so they also run relays of hounds in twos, backed by quad bikes, until the stag collapses and is shot. Defra must close every exemption, not one.
Exxon is annoyed EU is insisting on some kind of CO2 capture
Makes most sense if you think oil company advocacy for CCS is more about pretending to politicians they have an answer for climate change, rather than their actual willingness to do anything about it

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.
Just sitting on the pavement and clapping is now terrorism. Not saying anything, not holding or displaying any signs, just sitting on the pavement & clapping.

Whilst the cost of living crisis continues to spiral, with food and fuel prices soaring, so do global oil and gas companies profits.
Shell has today announced it's profits have more than doubled.
This is obscene.

When I discuss huge systemic issues, people say "but what I can I do?" When I mention something meaningful you can do immediately, people say (as the replies here show) "but what's the point, in the face of the huge systemic issues?"
There are, it seems, plenty of people who want to be helpless.
It's a point I've been trying to make for a long time: there is no good way to meet even 10% of current demand for animal products. They trash the living world, whichever way you do it. If you want to reduce your impact, switch to a plant-based diet. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
In one chapter of his book entitled 'The Art of the Bribe', Nigel Farage donor and convicted fraudster George Cottrell describes how politicians can be bought www.ft.com/content/7a0f...
And there’s more…
More lies, more dodgy deals and denials..
Farage has bought 4 houses for cash since 2020 - the year we left the EU.
And declared only 2 of them.
Come on people.
The man’s a hot mess of corruption, racism, national security threat and greed.
Let’s bin him off.
The exclusive Stowe school’s hare-hunt, the Stowe Beagles; whose huntsman has just been convicted of Hunting offences, drone footage captures school-children, as they congratulate each other as the hounds “break up” the hunted hare beside them. Read more 👉 www.huntsabs.org.uk/deeply-worry...
Can't believe it's been 10 years of being told that you mustn't call ignorant bigots ignorant bigots. You just have to politely live with the mess they've made
YOU HAVE 12 HOURS TO STOP THEM!
The government consultation closes at 11:59pm tonight (Thursday 18th June). For over 20 years hunts have been exploiting the law and continuing to kill wildlife.
Don’t delay, have YOUR SAY www.huntsabs.org.uk/ha-campaign/...
Sorry to re-up this, but the media silence on the massive, country-changing shift towards arbitrary justice and authoritarianism is almost the most astonishing aspect of the case. The new dispensation is being normalised even as it's happening.
Please spread it far and wide. We need to know. Thanks
Both the government and the Court of Appeal now treat protesters as terrorists and terrorists as protesters. It's hard to accept that a "Labour" government is imposing rightwing authoritarianism on the UK, but please read this column to see what's happening.+🧵

WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged
"You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her"
"I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads
In a detail which will surprise no one, the first of the "patriots" to plead guilty to offences connected to the rioting in Southampton on Tuesday night has a criminal record as long as your arm, including.... possessing a knife.
Reform appears to have deleted their "Make Britain a Crypto Hub" policy document from their website, prior to these donations being declared.
The document proposed massive tax and regulation cuts for crypto firms
X is currently full of posts falsely naming Christi Hill and another officer as having arrested Henry Nowak. One names and pictures the other PC, saying, "Wanted: dead or alive". It gives his address.
What more exactly will it take to get UK MPs, ministers and departments off that hellsite?
There’s absolutely no reason for any media outlet to give Farage, or that Goodwin rat, any airtime whatsoever to turn that tragedy into their own racist horrorshow. It’s against the family’s explicit wishes and Farage must not get to swan in and out of studios as he sees fit.
Christ what a disgrace.
When he was an MEP, Farage excused his absences on basis that it was an illegitimate government and that sovereignty should reside in Westminster.
He's now an MP in Westminster
And he's been absent for 77 Parliament votes in a row.

Israel has invaded 40% of Lebanon and is busy destroying every single building.
But there are no sanctions for Israel, they won't even suspend free trade with them.
They just pretend to be against it while doing nothing.

Lots of noise about Israel, but absolutely nothing is being done as usual.
The EU and UK could cancel their Free Trade agreements with Israel, as their citizens want them to.
The blow to Israel would be massive, and the EU/UK wouldn't even notice.
crucial context:
Peter Mandelson was sacked from the first New Labour government for having a £373,000 *loan* (not a gift) from a Labour colleague (Geoffrey Robinson) to buy a house
BREAKING:
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage bought a £1.4 million property in cash shortly after receiving a £5m personal gift from billionaire donor Christopher Harborne, according to property records seen by Sky News.
Oh what a tangled web they weave...
Farage now admits he bought the Clacton house, having told everyone last year that his partner Laure Ferrari bought the house.
