Embarrassing for the PM. Luxon swears we need expensive LNG fossil gas imports to boost electricity generation. But now the Meridian Energy boss says yeah, nah, don’t need it. Time to cancel the plan?

Trump's name permanently ripped off the Kennedy Center - is the ultimate humiliation of @realDonaldTrump 😇

SIR ALAN BATES - THANKS GOD FOR THIS MAN. EH. In 1998 Alan Bates and his partner Suzanne packed up their lives in West Yorkshire and moved to a small town in North Wales. They put everything they had into a post office. Every penny. Every hope. A future they had planned together. Two years later the software started lying. Money appeared to be missing. He called the helpline 507 times. He kept going. He kept records. He kept asking. The Post Office's response was simple. It wasn't the software. It was him. In 2003 they sent him a letter terminating his contract. No reason given. He lost £65,000. Everything he and Suzanne had invested, gone. Their private notes about him, revealed at the public inquiry decades later, described the situation with devastating corporate elegance. He had become unmanageable. That is what they called a man asking why the numbers were wrong. So he did what any reasonable person would do after losing everything to an institution that called them a liar. He spent the next 25 years fighting back with nothing. No legal fund. No media empire. No government support. Just a burning refusal to let them win. He wrote letters promising his continued and increased resolve to bring this to people who would have no choice but to act, regardless of how many years it took. It took 25. While he was fighting, at least 13 people who had been through the same thing took their own lives. People who couldn't hold on long enough. People who needed someone to believe them and found nobody there. While he was fighting, the Post Office and its lawyers billed £265 million in legal fees between 2014 and 2024. Making sure the truth stayed buried. Making sure men like Alan Bates ran out of road before they ran out of fight. He didn't run out of fight. He rejected three compensation offers he considered insults. He watched an @ITV drama turn his life into a television event. He watched politicians suddenly discover outrage they had been too busy to feel for two decades. He watched the country cry at a story it had been ignoring since 1999. In June 2024 they gave him a knighthood. Twenty-five years after calling him unmanageable. In November 2025 he settled his compensation claim. He received 49.2% of what he was owed. No executive has been charged. Fujitsu (@Fujitsu_Global) still holds government contracts. The Post Office (@PostOffice) is still standing. This country failed Alan Bates for 25 years. It failed every person who could not hold on long enough to see what he saw. It handed him a title instead of justice and called itself generous. He deserved better. They all did. Teach this man in every school in Britain. Not as a feel-good story. As a warning about what happens when ordinary people trust institutions that were never built to protect them. And as proof that one person, with nothing but the truth and the stubbornness to keep saying it, can make an entire country look at itself in the mirror. Even if it takes 25 years to get them to look. Sources: @ComputerWeekly | @BBCNews AND many others

Nigel Farage registered ‘absent’ from the last 77 votes in Parliament Official Parliamentary figures reveal that Reform leader Nigel Farage hasn't bothered to vote for anything in the last 11 weeks... thelondoneconomic.com/politics/where…

Two ticks red.

Nigel Farage - the leader of Reform UK - is under investigation for failing to declare a £5 million 'gift'. Please RT this until the BBC gives this story the same level of blanket coverage - as it would for the leader of any other UK political Party.

Couldn’t have said it better myself!

🎯

It’s not as if they weren’t warned. I tweeted this when they announced an AI special. I really hope people complain. Especially about the inclusion of Laura Gilbert, a paid corporate lobbyist bankrolled by Oracle’s Larry Ellison who funds Tony Blair’s institute. 2/

@Liquid_Times Happy to sack public servants willy nilly, happy to cancel pay equity for thousands of women, happy to make students poorer, happy to get more money from the poor in social housing, but reducing housing allowances for MPs a big fat no, says it all about Nationals priorities

An American president sues/extorts his own government, then settles with his own justice department to funnel money to his criminal allies. He will go down in history as the president who came up with forms of corruption never contemplated before.

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks... HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless. Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it So where's the wall-to-wall coverage? Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

Luxon is giving Fonterra immunity from legal action over its climate pollution. What next? Fresh water pollution? Who next? Immunity for the fishing industry from legal action over health and safety breaches? Where does it end?

So in fact Nigel Farage did not need to finance private security because the Home Office offered him free Met Police close protection which he rejected. Guess the last thing he wanted was policeman seeing and hearing what he was doing every day.

TV presenter to Farage "You promised local council tax cuts" "I never said that" "Here is a film of you saying it" "I never said that" "The film clearly shows you saying it" "Can we move on now?" "Here is one of your leaflets where you say it" "Next question"

Right, you Reform voting fuckwits, here’s your leader, @Nigel_Farage trying to appear like an ordinary bloke down the pub with a pint in one hand and a copy of the Sun in the other. Here’s a few facts for you. 1 He is the son of a well known stockbroker. 2 He was a Dulwich schoolboy. 3 He worked in the City for 18 years mostly as a commodities broker. 4 A billionaire has recently given him £5 million, others have donated huge sums too. So, do really think he gives a flying fuck about you or your life? No, of course he doesn’t. In fact, you are little more than excrement under his feet and you are such a thick piece of shit you cannot even see it. He is USING you. I despair.

@amendment_22nd So you’ll be all good if Barack Obama runs for another term then?

Justice for infinite presidential terms!

@atrupar Trump is still seething from this 😂😂😂. Obama lives rent free in his head!

On 23 June 2026, Britain marks ten years since the Brexit referendum. We were promised £350 million a week for the NHS. We were promised the easiest trade deals in history. We were promised sunlit uplands. Research now shows the economy is 6-8% smaller, business investment fell 18% and 63% of us would vote to rejoin. And you want to vote the man that hurt so many of our pockets and got us here? Vote tactically on the 7th of May. Stop Refrom. We deserve better. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧☕️🫖 thedailybritain.co.uk/ten-years-brex…

Nigel Farage secretly trousered £5 million in cash, and he didn’t want you to know. Since the media have barely covered it, let's make it go viral 👇
