2/3 It shows that at every stage, pilot whales suffer profoundly. The welfare impacts are severe: anxiety, breathlessness, confusion, fear, panic, pain, helplessness. #pilotwhales are sentient, intelligent beings. They never abandon each other, forced to witness their loved ones' slaughter.

We are living in one of the stupidest times in history.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

What an admirably clear statement from the Jewish Leadership Council, especially when all of those involved must surely have been dealing with so many other urgent challenges in safety, security and grief + shock today before having this further divisive and distracting intervention to address too.

London Ulez reduced nitrogen dioxide to legal limit, mayor says The mayor of London says the fall in airborne toxins is due to the Ultra low emission zone expansion.

184 years earlier than predicted, London has met the legal limits for toxic NO2 for the first time.

This historic milestone proves that bold action like expanding ULEZ works, protecting children’s health and giving millions cleaner air to breathe.

How to tackle the #climate emergency - Trump administration style

Don't mention it - and it doesn't exist

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

My family came here 50 years ago. They've worked, paid taxes, raised families, been good citizens.

My many colleagues and friends who were either born elsewhere, or their parents were, the same.

It's so offensive to be told you're here on sufferance.

London mayor Sadiq Khan hits out at 'misinformation' as new figures show fall in crimes Sir Sadiq Khan's comments come after renewed attacks from US President Donald Trump - who recently claimed "crime in London is through the roof".

There's still a long way to go, but the evidence is clear: our approach to tackling violent crime and its complex causes is working.

Violent crime leading to injury is falling in every borough. I'm determined to build on this progress and deliver a safer London for everyone.

Violent crime resulting in injury has fallen across all 32 London boroughs over the past year.

There is still much more to do, but we're making progress.

London’s homicide rate is also lower than in other major European capitals, including Paris, Berlin and Madrid.

Reform UK's ex-Wales leader Nathan Gill admits pro-Russia bribery Nathan Gill admits eight charges of bribery while being a Member of the European Parliament.

A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him:

"terrific," and "as honest as the day is long."

Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it.
Yes, they might.
And he should wear it as a badge of honour.
Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet.
Where's the hazard in that?
