People seem to have forgotten that it rained *constantly* this year in Britain between Christmas and Easter, and again for much of May. There is no water shortage. We’ve drained and desecrated our landscapes to the extent that they are now simply incapable of storing all that rainfall for us. The water is sent barrelling down land drains, ditches, artificially straightened streams and rivers to the sea, causing mayhem as it goes, and leaving us with no water afterwards. It’s so easy to fix this. It’s called ‘natural flood management’. Put back the bogs and marshes, the ponds and wetlands, re-wiggle the streams, liberate and reconnect the rivers to their flood plains, and we’ll find we have way less flooding, fewer hosepipe bans and cleaner water. Yet all we get each winter are hysterical calls for *more* dredging and straightening of the rivers, more draining of the fields. We must be the very last country in the world to grasp this basic natural hydrology.

Imagine a country where two boys can carry out (& film) multiple rapes & avoid custody-because the Judge ‘wants to avoid criminalising them unnecessarily’.

It needs public outrage & a legal challenge for them to finally be jailed.

Welcome to England.

Take 6 mins to watch this powerful statement. It gave me goosebumps.

I’m pleased these boys will be behind bars & I send ‘Jasmin’ & the other victim all of my love.

Go forward girls, with your heads held high…

This is a great read by @eV_Newt - I didn’t realise A/C was that affordable and that easy to have installed - if you’re feeling hit and bothered during the warm spells, this may be worthwhile following 👇

Told. You. So.

You don’t pay tax on bribes.

You can’t tax wealth that’s offshore.

He pays a company to minimise his tax earnings from his 14 jobs.

He didn’t pay stamp duty on his “partners” house.

Need we go on?

[Chris Bryant @RhonddaBryant]

Utter tosh. I remember people making all sorts of false claims about Brexit (including that we would remain in the single market) and arguing that others would follow us. But what actually happened? More want to join.

[Prof Colin Talbot @colinrtalbot]

Burnham did not give “his Wife’s Company” a contract for anything.

He wasn’t involved.

The contract went to a company his wife doesn’t own or work for.

She works for, as an employee, a PR company that does some work for said company.

Try this instead - why did Nigel get £5m?

[Sangita Myska @SangitaMyska]

This is utterly absurd from Hamish Falconer. As Middle East Minister he has repeatedly failed to respond Israel’s crimes against Palestinians. To falsely imply Jeremy Corbyn’s statement here is anti-Semitic is shameful.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Just awful to see senior Labour politicians, whose government has helped arm Israel's genocide in Gaza, now expressing sympathy for the victims they played their part in creating.

This is gaslighting.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

I have written to Hamish Falconer after his shocking and disgraceful response to my question about Israel’s illegal settlement expansion.

Baseless smears won’t change the truth: this government is complicit in apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide.

🚨 WATCH: Reform MP Lee Anderson asks if Keir Starmer agrees that all illegal migrants in the UK should be deported

Starmer: "He should be asking questions of his party leader. Why did he keep his £5m gift secret? And are they happy with him earning £22,000 per hour?"

Every rightwing populist is conning his or her working-class base.

Kevin Maguire on #GMB: "If you have a war in Iran, the price of solar or wind doesn't go up.. there's also a whole question about why household bills are tied to gas prices when the companies selling [to] us, the cost of their wind & Solar.. hasn't gone up"

[dave lawrence 🐟🐟🐠 @dave43law]

A young person earning £10ph......

£10 x 40hrs x 52 weeks = £20800pa pre tax

Farage earned more than that in an hour

BUT THEY are the ones earning too much

[Mike H @mikoh123]

Tom Hayes - If we think about Nigel Farage & the £5m donation from a crypto billionaire and then he allegedly meeting the gov of the BoE asking him not to impose limitations on Stablecoin. Who is one of the major shareholders in Stablecoin? The man who gave Farage £5m

Wait till these idiots find out the Tories cut the navy by 25%, shrunk the army from 130,000 to 72,000, put the aircraft carriers to sea with no planes, sold the Harriers to the US, sold off the AWACs and spent £4bn on tanks that don’t work.

[Matthew Todd 🌏🔥 @MrMatthewTodd]

It’s outrageous that Jenny Jones is left begging the Lords to listen to the science.

Every MP and member of the HOL should be forced to listen to a briefing from the chief scientist and other UK leading scientist on the realities of climate change and what is coming towards us.
This broadcast should also be made to the public.
This is an insane insane situation

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

When an MP can pocket more in a couple of hours of “work” than a nurse earns in an entire year - as Nigel Farage has done - something is deeply broken in our politics.

This has to stop. It’s time to ban ALL MPs’ second jobs.

From my speech in Parliament today.

[Nick Reeves #RejoinEU #NAFO #FBPE @nickreeves9876]

Chris Mason also doesn't mention that 'British billionaire' Harborne lives in Thailand under a Thai name, and he doesn't bother to mention that Farage actually owned Reform UK at the time he received the gift.

Mason is a disgrace to journalism, and a handmaiden to fascism.
