Dear Mr Farage, you stated during the Brexit campaign that we, bloody forrins, were responsible for traffic jams on British roads.
As it happens, I mostly work from home but you're against this now.
So, what do you prefer, me working from home, and being "less productive" or causing jams?

If the PM reckons Jim Ratcliffe should apologise for spreading this exact same lie, should the Home Office apologise too, or? 🤨

Ratcliffe is where populism leads. To multimillionaires spouting ignorant racist horseshit that divides us but unites the far right in their cynical bid to exploit prejudice for power. Ratcliffe will just shrug from his tax haven home. He doesn’t care. Farage laps it up. Everyone else loses.

When Human Activity Dropped During Covid-19, Methane Emissions Surprisingly Spiked. Now, a Study Points to Two Reasons Why
In a paradox of air pollution, a decrease in man-made pollutants led to more methane in our atmosphere. And natural wetlands released more of the planet-warming gas at the same time

A Korean bitcoin market intended to give away prizes worth ₩620,000 or about $425. Instead, they gave away 620,000 bitcoins worth roughly $40 BILLION at the time—despite not actually holding that many tokens. It’s a massive failure of crypto safety protocols. Now they’re asking for the coins back.

It would be fun if all foreign Man United players decided to sit out the next ManU game at Old Trafford to protest against Jim Ratcliffe rhetoric.
‘We should say that there are fans are at Old Trafford who 💯 applaud what Radcliffe is saying’, BBC 5 Live presenter says after a semi critical comment from a guest.
Why ‘should we say’ that some bigoted people agree with the bigoted rich man?

Rarely mentioned but about much of Ratcliffe’s business ‘success’ is based on draining public money (very common among these ‘self made tycoons’)

I'm proud to be the son of a miner from a coal & steel town. My great grandfather and one of his sons were crushed to death in an underground roof fall. My grandfather died of "black lung" before he qualified for his state pension, and dad suffered with respiratory illness. Coal mining must stop!
