Derailment warning as world faces threats to its ability to act on climate change We may have seriously underestimated the risks of climate change. This includes derailment risks. This does not mean we are doomed, and it certainly does not mean there is no point in trying to turn o...

Saying a single year exceeding 1.5Β°C warming doesn't mean the Paris Agreement has failed provides as much reassurance as the captain of the Titanic telling passengers that there is an important difference between 'sinking' and 'sunk'.

It would certainly give us some much needed drive up front. A loan deal for the remainder of the season might work out. The January window is a notoriously difficult time to secure real PL ready quality. Let's see what happens.

You're right, of course. Plenty of opinion polls are run by organisations with an obvious bias.

Unless the Labour Party can ditch Starmer, shift to left of centre and collaborate in a meaningful way with Green Party and others the next general election will be an open goal for Reform. I've never wanted to be wrong about anything in politics as much as I want to be wrong about this.

At the moment I'm very concerned about the real possibility of a Reform UK government. It's a nightmare scenario that could become real.
I didn't think Brexit would happen. I didn't think Trump would win 1st time around and hoped he wouldn't win 2nd time. I was wrong on each occasion.

We asked those sharing conspiracy theories in Sefton Park for a chat From calling climate change a hoax to warning about chemtrails in the sky, the group has a range of messages on display

Who are the people spreading conspiracy theories every weekend in Liverpool’s most popular park?

Who is behind their movement?

Would they talk to me about their claims that climate change is a hoax and their belief in the dangers of β€˜chem trails’ ?

Find out here πŸ‘‡

It's a very complex issue, Dave. The short answer is "yes" The longer answer, taking into account the very significant geo-political issues is "yes" Apologies for getting a bit heavy on the detail there.

If the people putting up the flags did not have the right permission granted then this can only be the local police choosing to not uphold the law. The argument that they were there to prevent a breach of the peace is nonsense. Tell the flag loons to take the flags down or arrest them. Simple.

Greta Thunberg is the best of us.

If you are not on her side there is something very wrong with you.

When the world is desperate for rational, fact-based, compassionate political thinking we get the antithesis from the third rate leader of a third rate ideology.

Indeed you do! I discovered that splendid piece of info a few years ago. I'd been to Canada many times and was very fond of the country and pretty much all of the people I'd met. Didn't think it could get any better and then 'boom!' it did.πŸ˜€

A good point, Richard (It's Wolves, West Ham and then Palace, BTW)
We can't let another slow start and defeat to Liverpool derail a decent start to the season. Nevertheless, I'm well hacked off.

In recent years, how many games have we lost by not turning up until the second half? It's so frustrating, and to do it against Liverpool makes it so much worse. Clearly there's a huge gap in ability but for god's sake we have to stop making it harder for ourselves.
