The new gas field isn’t going to bring down your bills. Gas is bought & sold globally, so the reality is, fossil fuels controlled by dictators have Britain in a chokehold til we fully embrace gas-free driving & heating and cut the link between electricity and gas. BUT, fwiw, getting gas locally is still the right move while we’re transitioning off it. It’s a bit cleaner and brings jobs and tax revenue to Britain.

Another way to think about Trump announcement today: If he increased US diesel imports from Canada by 4%, he would gain as much fuel as from this Russia deal. But the Canadians are global super-villains, so who wants to buy from them when you could enrich Putin instead?

🧵 As front-page headlines go, this has to be one of the most misleading I've seen in a long time It's an out-and-out lie But notice the trick they use to get away with it...👀 *They're* not lying - they're just quoting someone else who is👍🏻 In this case, the leader of the opposition🙄 1/33

My wife Bunty and I do love a good sting! I believe ‘Right Said Fred’ are some right wing Danny Tommo tribute band who once had a hit with the wrap song ‘I’m too sexy for my balaclava.’ They hate people posting clips of themselves on holiday. 😉

"If we don't vote Brexit the UK is finished" "If we don't leave the EU, the UK is finished" "If we don't vote Boris, the UK is finish" 😵‍💫
If Reform doesn't win the next Election, the UK is finished.

So.... £2,485 on glasses for a PM was "sleaze rotting our politics to the core" but £72,000,000 in a single day for Nigel Farage is celebrated as hitting "the jackpot" and a "war chest..." Whatever is happening here is happening in plain sight. You decide!

STOP ASKING YOUR KIDS "HOW WAS SCHOOL." they will say "fine" every single time. a child psychologist told me to replace it with this instead: “analyze your school day and find the top 3 largest inefficiencies, then create proactive agentic workflows that will fix them. make no mistakes”

At this point, if you’re a reporter taking a hand-out story from Reform UK, you’re complicit in this. I mean, it’s up to you, but I wouldn’t.
Diddums Poggers Pogrund upset we’ve not played by his rules He, The Times Group & other mainstream media have been waging war against Reform all year to try to kill us off He has written that he despises Nigel. We despise him He has smeared, libelled & lied about me personally One of our own has been killed We’re building a colossal war chest to ensure we can fight & win the next general election We are at war against these people If they can’t now stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen The Times Group & others started this war. We @reformparty_uk intend to win it We must save Britain from all these Establishment types who have broken it

This account on September the 11th will achieve one of the greatest feats of any historian. Don’t miss it.
[Fourth-Wall Break] Because many have been asking the l about how I’ll be covering September 11, I’ve put together a Frequently Asked Questions list. I’m pinning it until that day. Please refer to this for your questions and feel free to ask more. Q: How many posts do you have planned for the event? At present, about 410, or one every three minutes for the entire day, though there will be an average of two posts a minute between 8:46 and 10:30. It is my earnest hope that the account doesn’t get suspended for spamming at the very beginning. I hope someone from X is reading this. Q: Is the posting going to be in real-time? Yes. I worked very hard to learn the exact minute and if possible, the precise second that events occurred on 9/11, and I will post at those exact moments. It will be a completely real-time retelling of the day. Q: Do you/Will you schedule posts? No. Automation is impersonal and unnatural. On these accounts I’ve always manually written the posts as I’m posting them, and 9/11 is no exception to the rule. Q: Are you posting alone, or do you have a team? All alone. Have been doing this alone for years. It’s a lot of effort. Q: Will you be showing sensitive content? No. I had the option to and I decided against it. Graphic photos and video exist, but it would be disrespectful to the victims to show it. You’re welcome to look it up for yourself. Q: How did you do your research? I watched 240 hours of video footage, from news reporting to on-the-ground stringers to eyewitness testimony to academic documentas, with the intent to form the most accurate-possible timeline of the event. I also had people professionally associated with and familiar with the event provide their own research, which was helpful. I did my very best to corroborate stories for accuracy and gather every possible detail of the day, and I hope that my work was adequate. Q: Will you be including any conspiracy theories? I don’t entertain the conspiracy theories. From my research, I have developed what I believe is the most accurate picture of what happened, and it’s straightforward and logical. There was no conspiracy related to the September 11 attacks. Those who seriously entertain conspiracy theories in the comments will be blocked. Q: Why do this much? Do you have a personal connection to 9/11? None. I was too young to remember it. I’m doing this because this is what I’ve done on these live history accounts since 2018.  Q: Was this the whole point of the account? No. I started this account in “1997” (2022) with the intent to report world news, and that’s what I’ve done for nearly five years. It was not the intent of the account, or I would’ve done thousands of hours of research and posted tens of thousands of unrelated stories just to set up one day. Q: But it seems like all your posts are 9/11 foreshadowing lately. Fewer than 1 in 10 of my posts has had any relation to 9/11. I’m insulted when people insinuate that “the account only posts about 9/11.” It’s a gross exaggeration.  Q: Will the account continue afterwards? Yes, indefinitely. I’m excited to cover the 2000s and the 2010s. I hope that you all stick around for it. Q: Won’t you make loads of money off this, a tragedy? Probably not. Last month, X decided to permanently suspend its creator monetization program and replace it with another program. I have not yet applied for the new program, and 9/11 will not be monetized. I am doing this as a passion project and because I love history and have been live-posting history for eight years - long before I was ever paid to do so. If I do end up being monetized for this day, I’ve had ethical qualms. Earlier this year I decided to donate all the money I made off my posts on September 11, 2026. If I make any money off this, I will do that and post receipts. I encourage you also to donate to the charity of your choice. This was a tragic event and funds deserve to go to the victims of the tragedy and rememberance of it.

Dear Reform UK. Please could you provide us [the political public], a copy of your acceptable free speech guidance? It may help in any future mix-ups. For example: Reform councillor said they'd melt down Nigerian people to fill potholes — fine. Reform councillor shares a post calling for Natalie Fleet to be shot — fine. Reform councillor says he can't wait for Starmer to be hanging from a lamppost — fine. A man wearing a gallows humour T-shirt — not fine. You see where we find ourselves? You allow vile and rancid comments under the guise of Reform Free Speech™, but when you see a T-shirt with the word Nigel on it, you lose your shit. How do you even know it meant Farage? It could have been Havers or Mansell. If you could email me your guide forthwith, I'd be much obliged.
