FUN FACT: Since 2019, Nigel Farage's Reform has taken more than £2.3 MILLION from oil and gas interests - making up an astonishing 92% of the party's donations.
Reform are NOT for ordinary people.
They're in the pockets of the big oil lobby.

I’m glad to see this article but it’s after 24 hours of unchallenged corporate guff dominating the news cycle. Tony Blair is a tech lobbyist who is literally writing naive, venal & dangerous policy for Starmer’s government. Call it out.

In fairness, this lasted a week longer than any other Brexit benefit. 😂
They celebrated 10% tariff in the UK vs 20% in the EU as a Brexit benefit
Now, both UK and EU have the same 10%
Poof! The benefit of Brexit is gone

When I worked in UK academia I recall hearing of a Japanese man who was baffled at how Britain had decided to run its universities like firms. “Why? Your universities are excellent and your firms are terrible.”
To repeat: "A country so stupid it actively trashes one of things it's good at and famous for."
Today's university slashing and burning is Edinburgh, where about 10% of the budget will be cut. There'll be another case every single day until UK govts actually do something. A country so stupid it actively trashes one of things it's good at and famous for.

Someone to listen carefully to: @johnwdean.bsky.social was a White House lawyer under Nixon, no less.
If Trump continues to defy the Courts and increasing numbers of people protest, Trump will rely on the Insurrection Act and call on federal troops to stop the protests. When the stock market crashes Trump may reconsider or the GOP Congress may find its spine. If not American democracy ends!
