Every £1 of public money invested in net zero delivers between £ 2.20and £4.10 in return says top economist @MazzucatoM citing official figures. Gives the lie to all to that stuff about the huge cost of it.

💰 I've watched Nigel Farage for 15 years and I've never seen him this rattled - or getting it so badly wrong.
The £5 million donation saga isn't going away and is causing Reform real electoral damage. The party is at a watershed

So #BBCQT ran a special episode questioning why there isn’t a general election after Starmer resigned.
Meanwhile, there wasn’t one when May resigned, Johnson resigned, or when Truss resigned either.
But of course, there’s no bias at all - especially when the programme again invited Zia Yusuf, an unelected bureaucrat in Farage's Reform UK Party Limited
Do you need a tray mate?
Nah, I'll be OK.
A Dutch supporter ordered 26 pints of Tennants 🍻 in a bar in Scotland on Saturday whilst watching the Netherlands 🇳🇱 take on Sweden 🇸🇪
Unbelievable effort carrying them all back to his mates!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Rarely has there been such a contrast between a PM’s performance and public perception of it. It tells you all you need to know about the polarising & pernicious influence of our media ecosystem, including even the BBC’s own TV News.

🚨 Noam Chomsky drives the final nail into the coffin of the Zionist narrative: 'I am Jewish, and I say it with all boldness: Israel must be eliminated. This colonial entity has no future.'
If you have a spare 3 mins and 45 secs today, watch this fantastic grilling by Sally Nugent on BBC Breakfast.
The very first time I've seen Farage questioned properly about his ��5M bung, and it's fair to say, he totally fluffed it.
There are points when you can see Farage tremble and even accuse the BBC of putting him in danger. 🤦♂️
It was for security. It was for cars. Nobody cares. It's no one's business. He won't tell us. DANGER!
At one point, he let slip that the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards may 'disagree' with him on the rules around donations.
He knows he's going to be found guilty on this one. He's in trouble, and his face gave it away gloriously.
Top hats off to Sally Nugent. Stellar work. 👏
If people genuinely believe Burnham won’t receive the exact same media onslaught, they’ve not been paying attention.
Starmer is not, objectively, bad. This idea that he is somehow the worst PM in British history is frankly laughable.
Liz truss lasted 49 days, crashed the pound and was laughed out of Downing Street.
Since Labour took office, Keir Starmer’s government has:
• Scrapped the two-child benefit limit, lifting hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty and putting money back into some of the hardest-pressed households in the country.
• Expanded free school meals, cutting costs for families and making sure more children get a proper meal during the school day.
• Expanded funded childcare, reducing one of the biggest monthly costs facing working parents and making it easier for people to stay in work.
• Raised the National Living Wage, increasing pay for millions of low-paid workers.
• Strengthened workers’ rights, giving people greater protection against insecure work and bad employers.
• Introduced statutory sick pay from the first day of illness, so workers are less likely to choose between their health and their wages.
• Ended no-fault evictions, giving renters more security in their homes.
• Brought rail operators back into public ownership, taking key services out of failed private hands and giving the public a stronger stake in how they are run.
• Cut NHS waiting lists from their post-pandemic peak, meaning more patients are being seen sooner.
• Raised the state pension through the triple lock, protecting pensioners’ incomes against rising costs.
• Scrapped the old non-dom tax regime, making some of the wealthiest people in the country pay more fairly.
• Added VAT to private school fees, raising money from those most able to contribute.
• Removed business rates relief from private schools, ending an unjustified tax break.
• Increased neighbourhood policing, putting more officers and PCSOs back into communities.
• Helped bring knife crime down, meaning fewer families face the devastation of serious violence.
• Recorded the lowest homicide rate since the 1970s, a material improvement in public safety.
• Created Great British Energy, giving Britain a publicly owned clean energy company.
• Created the National Wealth Fund, backing investment in industry, infrastructure and clean energy.
• Passed planning reforms aimed at getting homes and major projects built faster.
• Improved relations with the EU, reducing diplomatic hostility and rebuilding practical cooperation.
• Agreed a UK-EU security partnership, strengthening cooperation on defence and European security.
• Signed a long-term partnership with Ukraine, reinforcing Britain’s support against Putin’s invasion.
• Secured new trade agreements, opening up markets for British businesses.
• Helped restore seriousness to government after years of scandal, chaos and decline.
People do not have to like Starmer. They do not have to vote Labour. But pretending this is the record of the worst Prime Minister in British history is absurd.
This is fucking horrific. Pochin telling England to keep winning so blokes don't batter their wives, instead of telling abusers not to abuse.
Can't believed what I have just watched.
🚨 Ten years after the Brexit vote, Reuters tells the story of two brothers from a strongly Leave area who were on opposite sides.
Both are now disappointed.
The brother who voted Leave feels betrayed, the promises of sovereignty, cheaper food, and economic boom never came.
The brother who voted Remain is saddened by the lasting division and damage to the country.
This is the human cost playing out in families and communities across Britain.
Brexit divided us and left many on both sides feeling let down by the outcome.
@currys I'd go for all the meats - prosciutto, salami, pepperoni, chorizo and maybe even n'duja along with the cheese and tomato that all pizzas have #CurrysNinja
If this were Jews locked in a Synagogue, it would be EVERYWHERE in the media by now (rightfully so). Suella Braverman, Kemi Badenoch et al would have already issued condemnation statements. But because it's Muslims, there's radio silence.
We had NHS dentists, and free education, we owned Rail, Mail, Telecoms, Water, Energy, Steel and Ship Building, Social housing was built, and we owned care homes.
All of this was stolen to allow the rich to rob us forever for using essential services.
