Thank you @share_wishes We still miss her every day but so proud of her for her decision for #organdonation which shows how important it is to #shareyourwishes with your family and join the register as an #organdonor
Today we share Kate’s story. Kate worked at @KingsCollegeNHS and cared for others. After her untimely passing Kate went on to save others through #organdonation. Nicky, Kate’s mum shares her story to inspire you to talk about organ donation. https://t.co/THgj1YzoMn
@DaleVince Only one person posturing here and it's not @g__j ... You can't even be bothered to spell his name correctly. Our heat pump (fitted by @OctopusEnergy ) is saving us money every month!
The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
Perhaps Nigel Farage could give an emergency address on the following:
The £5 million 'gift'.
The £1 million 'gift' to stitch up the 2019 General Election.
The Clacton House stamp duty tax dodge.
The 17 breaches of the MPs code of conduct.
Where exactly has he been hiding.
The murder of Henry Nowak is a genuinely harrowing case.
He was attacked and stabbed repeatedly by Vickrum Digwa, only for his desperate calls for help to be met with mockery by police officers, before he ultimately lost his life.
How we respond to this tragedy defines who we are as a society:
1⃣ The British Sikh community are not responsible for the criminal actions of Vickrum Digwa. There is no justification for anti-Sikh hatred, just as there is no justification for hatred towards any community.
2⃣ The police officers involved have serious questions to answer, and there must be a thorough and independent inquiry. However, with more than 160,000 police officers serving across the UK, we cannot hold an entire profession responsible for the alleged failures of a few individuals.
3⃣ This tragedy can either be used to bring people together in solidarity and support, or it can be used to sow division and distrust. We should choose unity over division.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Nowak family during this unimaginably difficult time 🙏
RIP, Henry Nowak.
You suffered one of the gravest injustices imaginable at the hands of people entrusted with protecting the public. The best way to honour your memory is to ensure the truth is uncovered, accountability is delivered, and lasting changes are made so that no one else suffers the same fate 🙏
Angela Rayner - £40k underpaid stamp duty - repaid. Lost jobs in Cabinet and Dep. PM.
Peter Murrell - £400k theft from SNP - going to prison
Huge coverage of both
Nigel Farage - £5m undeclared bung (possibly more) - goes to ground for a month.
Media coverage? You judge.
Luciana Berger, "As I understand it, Nigel Farage's £5m gift was connected to his work of delivering Brexit, and that is political activity"
Danny Kruger, "No.. It was unrelated to any serviced rendered or services to be delivered"
Nigel Farage, "It was given as a reward for campaigning for Brexit for 27 years"
This article says climate change is “believed to have played a role” in the UK's extreme heat this week.
As a climate scientist, let me fact-check that.
First, climate change is not a religion. No belief is required. It is about evidence.
And the evidence has been crystal clear for more than two decades: climate change is making heat waves hotter, longer, more frequent and more dangerous.
In fact, science has advanced far beyond saying climate change merely “played a role.” Today, we can quantify how much more likely and how much hotter climate change made a specific event.
Here's the bottom line:
Climate is changing. Humans are responsible. And we are experiencing the impacts now. That’s the bad news.
The good news is that solutions already exist, and the majority of people care - 89%, around the world!
But meaningful action depends on helping people understand not just what is happening: we need to know how it affects our lives (this heat wave being example A today) and what we can do about it.
That’s the opportunity this reporting missed.

The facts on Immigration stand in stark contrast to the picture Reform paints. It was out of control, peaking at nearly one million in 2023 under the Tories, many of whom are now in Reform - but since Labour won the election it is very much under control - dropping nearly 80% last year to under 200k, the lowest rate since the world shut down in 2020….And the number of asylum seekers in hotels is down 30%. But most people still believe the claim that immigration is out of control.
The truth is in the numbers - not in what Reform says. And not just on immigration.

@FredThomasUK As a constituent of yours I was already disappointed at your disloyalty to SKS, but this looks like you've thrown your hat into Streetings ring.... So now doubly disappointed 🤔🤐😢
@mgshanks@mwt2008 Thank you for posting something positive, and not about the imploding that's happening all around you ... This government have done so many good things but we rarely get to see or hear about them!
We need to hold the government to its promise: no new oil and gas in UK seas! Big Oil is pushing for more drilling, but it causes toxic spills and harms marine life;all without lowering our bills. Let's protect our ocean. Sign the petition: https://t.co/WoAHBKiRve via @38degrees
@d_r_jones47@DaleVince But if he goes now Fartage will claim the victory... All the Deform leaflets etc at the local elections were 'vote Reform to get Starmer out'.
@DaleVince For once I totally agree with you! @Keir_Starmer is still the best leader for the country ATM, no of course he's not perfect, but still the grown up in the room!
Unpopular opinion? I don’t think Starmer should go.
1. Emulating a revolving door of hapless have a go c*nts set by the Tories will help nobody.
2. The man made hysteria playing out isn’t just undignified but has fuck all to do with politics or what’s right for Britain.
