I like to think that I’m a Socialist with a deep green hue. Oh yes, I’m also an Atheist who lives in the UK.

Claims he's a defender of free speech but can't abide being questioned
It's Farage at his absolute weakest - thin-skinned, easy to offend, and nurturing a persecution complex.

He’s a vile man, no intellectual ability, just attacks anyone who disagrees with him.

A Trumpian drip.

Fiona Bruce desperately tries to smear Zack Polanski and the Green Party as supporting open borders as if it is the worst thing in the world.

But 56% of the UK support Free Movement.

It is actually her demonisation of migration which is supported by only 20% of the UK.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Not trying to burst any bubbles; but Spotify is over.

They are airing ICE recruitment ads, the CEO has been investing in military/AI tech, they barely pay their artists; sometimes a percentage of a cent per stream, they promote “fake/AI artist” playlists, and there’s major concerns about data use.

Nigel Farage used an LBC appearance in September to accuse the Bank of England of being “dinosaurs” for seeking to place restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether.

He did not declare that Reform had just received a £9 million donation from one of its biggest investors

This gangster government steals everyone’s property and doesn’t care about the laws respecting the rights of creators. Everything they see belongs to them like the greedy leeches on this country that they are.

I didn't exactly have high hopes for the next iteration of Nigel Farage's defence against allegations of racism, but even I expected better than 'I can't be a racist because Bernard Manning was on telly in the seventies'

Lots of news coverage this morning about £28 billion investment approved to upgrade the UK's energy network.

BUT: The majority of the spending – £17.8 billion - announced today is to maintain Britain’s gas networks rather than build new transmission lines.

The fact that Farage says Reeve should face a sleeze inquiry is proof that irony is not dead.

Zia Yusuf is busy patting Reform’s grassroots on the head, insisting there’s no need to panic about Tory MPs parachuting in — they’ll still get first dibs on the candidate list, honest.
The only thing is, the soothing bedtime story is being told by a former Tory. 🤨👇

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?

That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

Delighted @mrjamesob.bsky.social is doing what appears a full hour monologue on Nigel Lying Farage. A joy to hear someone talking about his overt racism and of course the cover up by those professing to be journalists 👏👏👏

Funny how @zackpolanski.bsky.social suggesting a raft of policies to try and improve the lives of the vast majority is ‘fantasy economics’, but when Brexiteers were allowed to indulge their lunatic fantasies about leaving the EU it somehow became ‘The Will of the People’. 🦄🤔
