I'm now posting more on Bluesky than on Elon Musk's bully pulpit. Hope to see you over on the brighter side.

Absolutely spot on. Russell Brand's embrace of right-wing conspiracy culture was very, very calcuated. It enabled him to pose as an outsider victim while continuing to make very large amounts of money from the terminally gullible.
Richard Osman has nailed Russell Brand here all ends up
Explaining Brands spin of playing a victim trying to be silenced by the establishment who don’t like him speaking the truth
The real truth was he knew he was a sexual abuser and the walls were closing in on him

🚨BREAKING
The Financial Times has just revealed that Thames Water’s US hedge fund creditors are close to agreeing a ‘last and final’ deal to take over the company.
A handover to US hedge funds. A continuation of the privatised chaos. And a huge reward for the people who have run our water into the ground.
The deal would see them allowed to pollute our rivers and seas without consequence - in exchange for an upfront payoff.
This deal is absolutely outrageous, in every regard.
112 MPs have already called for special administration of Thames Water.
A cross-party group of MPs - who scrutinise the Environment Department - have said that the creditors’ proposal should be rejected and Thames Water should be brought into special administration.
And the former Environment Secretary rejected a previous version of the creditors’ deal in June. This new version is not better in any way.
@andyburnham promised to reverse Thatcher’s legacy of privatisation. He promised public control of life’s essentials.
This really is the moment of truth for Andy Burnham. If he allows the water supply of 16 million people to be sold off to US hedge funds - how can we take him seriously about any of his promises?
NO DEAL to the Thames Water creditors. Special administration now.

Our new study reveals how Russia covertly organized interviews with 500+ "useful idiots" across the globe
We confronted them to see how they ended up participating in one of the biggest Russian state info-ops since the end of the Cold War.

"When we recognise that genocide is happening to anyone, anywhere, we Jews know our duty is to condemn it and act against it."
NEW: 260 British Jews – among them British Israeli historian Avi Shlaim, human rights barrister Margaret Owen OBE and journalist and politician @andrewfeinstein – have accused the @BoardofDeputies of genocide denial in an open letter.

Oh, they know. They and Trump have been repeating Kremlin talking points for a long time. Their roles as foreign partners are to normalize the Kremlin's language and worldview. In #Strongmen I wrote about how Berlusconi did the same thing for Putin.
“For everybody, there is an appalling sense that Kushner & Witkoff don’t know what they’re looking at,” said @AmbDanFried. “Anyone could have told them that talking about postwar European security architecture is a Kremlin talking point.” washingtonpost.com/world/2026/11/…

🚨🚨🚨Please watch tonight 8pm @BBCOne
FIRE AND FLOODS: OUR EXTREME WEATHER
Professor @HayleyJFowler:
‘If I’m honest, I try not to think about the future.
The climate today is the least extreme we will experience in our lifetime.
We are not prepared.’

I learned a great deal from doing this interview with Simon Birkett for Green House - the work he's done on clean air with @CleanAirLondon is hugely impressive & has valuable lessons for other environmental campaigners. (Long read).

On Hannah Arendt by @BenMoser123
In my opinion, Hannah Arendt was one of the greatest thinkers of 20th century
She was viciously - and completely falsely - attacked as an "antisemite" - as many Jews like her (and non-Jews) who criticise Israel are now

Well done Newsweek. They called out the climate deniers, and climate action delayers that care more about fossil fuel profits that your health and families. Number 6, 7, 21 and 28 on the list are the usual suspects who mislead the public.

Hi @andyburnham you could save thousands of lives by giving @metoffice the job of issuing air quality warnings. They have the capabilities, are trusted and already lead on many other weather warnings. ✅. Defra has shown itself incapable for 15 years. One phone call or signature - let’s do it!

4 doctors have accused Sussex police of failing to properly investigate a racist attack in Chichester which saw them being called rapists and paedophiles in the street after they left the Foundry Pub
The doctors, who work at St Richard's Hospital, were punched and kicked and told
"go back to your own country" "get back in your dinghies", "you P***s, "you're all rapists" and "you rape children"
@sussex_police
Our Prime Minister @andyburnham is still to call out the rise in racist attacks in this country.

False claims about the Kraków mass shooting reached 250 million views in 24 hours. Polish fact-checkers traced disinformation to recurring far-right figures, political outlets and accounts, with Russian and Belarusian channels amplifying them. x.com/i/article/2119…
