When your opponent is an autocrat in government, you’re five nil behind at the kickoff

I'm getting confused. I didn't think they liked Sharia law?

#ThisIsZionism

“I am personally proud of the ruins in Gaza & that every baby, even 80 years from now, will tell their grandchildren what the Jews did" - May Golan, Israeli Minister of Social Equality, highlighting deep-rooted extremism in Israel’s political leadership.

@alqudsnewsnet.bsky.social

right now somewhere in Miami amoral feckless Americans are trying their best to force the victim of the biggest, most barbaric aggression of this century (so far) to capitulate, to get on their knees before their aggressor
this is an idiotic world and this new reality will cause everyone to suffer

While we are at it also investigate interference by the US; Israel and the oil industry in our politics.

It's only a matter of time before a nuclear power plant caught up in a war suffers a loss of cooling and melts down, resulting in a radioactive disaster.*

If not in Ukraine, then in some future war this century.

* That's one thing that won't happen if a wind or solar farm is destroyed.

It's all very glass half empty going on about Farage's hatred for other races when you could be celebrating his russophilia.

Living alongside nature: humans must get better at it The first of two articles inspired by COP30 explores some problems and the need to seek inclusive and nature-aligned solutions.

Rachel Reeves was frustrated that a Sussex development was delayed by “… some snails … a protected species or something, that are microscopic; you can’t even see them…”

The snail in question is one of Britain’s rarest and most endangered freshwater species, the lesser whirlpool ramshorn.

Does that now mean that all US citizens are banned from entering the US?

Willow trees on Prince William’s land in Devon poisoned with herbicide Exclusive: Unknown culprit suspected of spraying glyphosate on protected trees hoped to stop peat erosion and flooding

REVEALED: Willow trees on Dartmoor common owned by Prince William deliberately poisoned with herbicide

This is an outrageous act of sabotage. Dartmoor’s commons are virtually treeless already, due to centuries of overgrazing by sheep. The culprit must be found:

Incredible that Banks and the leave campaign's finances haven't been properly investigated.

1/5 Sounds like Genevieve Guenther is heading toward a long reading break in a locked room:

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.

We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

Tonight we're celebrating 10 years of Rewilding Britain (@rewildingbritain.org.uk). I don't think I've ever come across an organisation which has shifted both public attitudes and tangible outcomes on an issue so fast. I'm proud to be associated.

They could sell their 1930s house in Richmond and buy a whole town in Wales

If UK government does not launch a full & proper investigation into Russian interference now, we will end up like America, where Russian interference is so deeply ingrained, it will be impossible to root out!!

John Jackson @hissgoescobra · 7h The Witkoff-Ushakov call was leaked. It was leaked by someone in the intelligence community. Wherever you are, I salute you. For that to happen, there must be grave, deep concern for what is happening. There is a Russian operation controlling our foreign policy.

I'm really curious who leaked that audio. And why.

In two years, Israel has killed more than 1,000 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

Every day, settlers attack Palestinian villages. Netanyahu & his extremist allies have one goal: annexation by force. The U.S. has enabled them.

NO MORE U.S. MILITARY AID FOR ISRAEL.

Times headline: ‘BBC failing to tackle systemic bias, says author of leaked memo’. In fact, when asked by MPs, this man, Michael Prescott, said he didn’t believe the BBC was institutionally biased. The Times failed to quote that, in an article about the issue of truthful reporting.

BBC removes description of Donald Trump as "the most openly corrupt president in American history" from the broadcast today of Rutger Bregman's Reith Lecture. I was among the several hundred people to hear the original at the lecture theatre

Attack him for the present.. which US billionaires and Russian state actors are funding Reform and why?

Patriots are an odd bunch. Take Rees-Mogg for example... wants to do away with BBC, NT, British influence in EU, become a vassal state of US and use up all of our oil reserves to make us inhabit an unlivable planet.

As with Hitler, making up for their own perceived inadequacies.

1/ #COP30 has ended meekly in Belém. Governments failed to turn early momentum into real action on forests, finance or fossil fuels.

I know too many middle-aged white males attracted to Farage, Trump, and even Putin, despite being lovers of Churchill. Definitely a fear based irrationality.

The Pembrokeshire dangler has been doing a hard shift this week.

The greater the fear, the more we are attracted to strongman leaders These leaders are not problem solvers but dividers and are by nature incapable of dealing with problems which require large scale collaborative behaviour Unless we can maneuver science further up the power structures we are doomed.

Trump Has a Recipe for War and Corruption, Not Peace Who would benefit from the White House’s 28-point proposal for Ukraine?

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

That’s actually, factually wrong….green energy costs more than it needs to because we let gas set the price, it’s not a lack of pylons (infrastructure) that exposes us to volatility of fossil fuel pricing - its the link.
