"Some idiot leaked to the Daily Mail that my whole first lecture was one big rant against Donald Trump, which is a lie," says Rutger Bregman on his censored BBC Reith Lecture.

"But whenever you cancel or censor something, it only gets more attention..."

In the last ten years some 30k Puffins have died due to heatwaves, storms and flooding - you might describe all of that as climate change - but that’s not the point, or is it.

Treasury has ‘limited grasp’ of concerns over shadow banking sector.

The UK is sleep walking to the next financial crash.

Shadow banking, which includes private equity, is unregulated. Retail banking being deregulated.

The Pension Schemes Bill urges schemes to invest in PE.

Madness.

Nigel Farage MUST be called a racist because to pretend he isn't implies that there are some facts behind his lies.

And there aren't.

So very happy for the Moldovans!
#PeoplePower!
The pro-EU Party of Action & Solidarity has crushed the pro-Russia Patriotic Electoral Bloc in the Moldovan election.

It won 51 seats - an outright majority.

Moldova is now on a trajectory towards EU membership.

A very bad night for Putin, who targeted Moldova with a wave of election propaganda.

I am loving the phrase coined by Daisy Cooper of “Turquoise Tories”, which is very appropriate.

2 of Reforms current 5 MPs are former Tory MPs and all others are former Tories.

* Up to 80% of Reform councillors and members are former Tories.

When Rishi Sunak made the Vaccine deal with Moderna as Chancellor, he had up to £530m invested in Moderna.

Now Michelle Mone is desperately bringing it up.

Like if you want Mone on trial.
RT if you want them both facing the music.

An email we received from a resident in NE London who is overflown by both Heathrow and London City planes. He feels 'broken and helpless' because of the constant noise.

The sooner respite is introduced so residents get a break from the noise, the better.

Good news from GALBA! We've stopped Leeds Bradford Airport from flying an unlimited number of planes at night. We won the Public Inquiry into their attempt to reinterpret the local night flight rules. It doesn't mean the end of night flights but it will limit them.
