Reform UK won’t say ‘private’ when talking about the NHS. Richard Tice is calling it ‘independent’:
"Instead of giving £26bn to the already bloated wasteful NHS, we proposed easing pressure on the health service by incentivising those who can afford to pay more to go independent with a tax break."

LG: Are you saying Brexit has been good for business?
MV: It's created opportunities.
LG: What about all the evidence?
MV: You need to come up north.

I'd like to say I am surprised, but I am not in the least surprised.
As soon as the racist bunting went up and St George crosses were being daubed everywhere, we knew. This was a far-right funded migrant-intimidation campaign, pretending to be about national pride.
Never felt less proud. And many have never felt less safe. Disgusting of politicians to endorse it.

Nigel Farage said that the 'Raise the Colours' campaign was a "grassroots movement driven by ordinary people”.
Kemi Badenoch said they should be "welcomed" as a symbol of "unity"
Now the campaign has pivoted to racially abusing migrants and intimidating charity workers on the beaches of France

Grid bottlenecks aren’t a failure of the energy transition — they’re proof it’s working.
Renewables got cheap fast, and now the grid has to catch up. Time to build the wires for the clean energy system we already have.

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”
As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

The spectacle of masked gangs of state vigilantes, ripping people out of cars in full view of the street, is a terrible reminder of how quickly the unthinkable can become normal in a democratic society.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Big oil won't give up without a fight. They have too much invested in potentially stranded assets and too much corporate greed
Only in Canada. A deal that will increase oil production and weaken climate policy is good for climate because:
- oil producers didn't like those pesky climate policies, and
- the economic benefits of "any" incremental emissions from 1.4 Mb/d is worth it.
