An investigation into Russian interference in our politics is long overdue. And we all know who should be questioned first.

Thousands of Russia’s orphans have been sent to fight in Ukraine, many drawn in by promises of finally receiving the housing they were already entitled to. Many don’t survive long enough to get it.

What we know about leaked US draft plan to end Russia's Ukraine war There are 28 key points and while several on the face of it could be acceptable to Ukraine, others cross Kyiv's red lines.

Trump is threatening to stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine unless it surrenders. Intelligence collected in the UK.
When you appease a bully like Trump by inviting him on a State visit he doesn't suddenly become a true friend - he decides you can be ignored.

Overseas-trained doctors leaving the UK in record numbers Medical bodies warn that hostility towards migrants is behind a 26% rise in departures last year that imperils NHS

Overseas-trained doctors leaving the UK in record numbers.

Direct result of racism and insecurity unleashed by major political parties.

Not enough home trained doctors. Takes years and high debt to become a doctor.

A healthcare crisis in the making.

The Empire created Britain’s wealth.

Yet I can’t remember it ever being mentioned in history at school.

It means many people have no idea why they see the mix of people they the do around them.

Ignorance of history plays into the hands of fhe far-right.

In Utah, Trump’s Vision for Homelessness Begins to Take Shape

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:

More after dark magic in the rainforest with a UV torch.

Some species of fungi are bioflorescent in ultraviolet light, making them glow against the blackness of night.

A walk through the woods becomes a truly enchanting experience.

Autism $peaks raised ~$34m in 2024 and spent 1% on family services and grants to help Autistic individuals. They spend approximately 25% of their budget on lobbying and another 25% on research (primarily on genetic testing and causation, i.e. eugenics). They aren’t trying to make our lives better.

A scenic view of "The Island of Discussion" in Scotland, which is a small, tree-covered island in the middle of a serene lake. The island is indicated by a red arrow in the image, drawing focus to its significance. The lake is surrounded by lush green hills and mountains, with a small village nestled on the shoreline in the distance. The foreground features a line of evergreen trees, adding depth to the landscape. The photo includes a caption explaining the historical use of the island, where people with arguments were sent with cheese and whiskey to resolve their differences before they were allowed to leave.

Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal.

He’s known Nathan Gill for 20 years, and claims he knew nothing.

No one believes you, Nigel.

Keep the story moving. Questions must be answered.

Are you "serious about protecting your bloodline"? That's the very weird hard sell from Property118, an unregulated firm marketing a dodgy tax avoidance scheme.

So are they ripping off HMRC? Or their own clients?

The answer is: both

'Farage could never be trusted to run Britain after getting Brexit so wrong' No Brexit champion, particularly Nigel Farage, is worthy of high office after proving so conclusively wrong on such a seismic issue, says Mirror Associate Editor Kevin Maguire

Nigel Farage could never be trusted to run Britain after getting Brexit so wrong'.

Brexit is the biggest self-harm. UK economy hasn't recovered.

Farage, the part-time MP, collects millions from 2nd/3rd jobs, full time MP pay+exps; often missing from the Commons.

Pushes hatred to grab power.
