Talk about divided by a common language! I couldn't follow this recipe if you held a gun to my head.

Countries commit to tackling climate disinformation at COP30 It is the first time states have formally committed to information integrity and fighting back against climate disinformation.

Good that Canada joins coalition to fight against climate disinformation (so maybe don't weaken greenwashing law?) www.euronews.com/green/2025/1...

Who did the worst guy in the world think was the worst guy in the world? (Cue “Hail to the Chief.”)

Brexit Damage
⬇️ GDP down 6-8%
⬇️ Investment down 12-18%
⬇️ Employment down 3-4%
⬇️ Productivity down 3-4%
Why isn't this spoken about in the lead up to the budget"

BBC Trump row: Pro-Israel bias over Gaza is the real scandal The corporation stands at a crossroads. Down one path lies self-censorship and hollow apologies; down the other lies the public it was built to serve

While headlines continue to focus on a single editing mistake, the real crisis at the heart of Britain’s public broadcaster runs far deeper, most notably in its failure to report Israel’s war on Gaza with honesty or courage

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

‘The money machine is misfiring’: City blames Brexit for UK’s £20bn productivity headache Poor output since the leave vote has landed Rachel Reeves with a bigger-than-forecast budget spending gap

Some useful information with which to bash those knuckle draggers who, despite all evidence to the contrary, still seem to think that Brexit and Farage was/is the answer.

Reform Councillors they never show up .
Absent 8 out of 15
Leads by example.😆
This is Cllr David Thomas attendance record at Torfaen Council from May this year
The Director for Wales
Abysmal

Even the companies can't know or say for sure how many of the layoffs are due to AI.

We're just in a mode where corporate managers are going after past over-hiring, padding margins, navigating big tech-spending commitments and conveying to investors they are forward-thinking and efficiency-minded.

Reform in Cornwall imploding within six months of sweeping election Nigel Farage's party took more Cornwall Council seats than anyone, but after a shocking week for the party, can it regroup and become a serious political force or will it fall apart?

In fighting in Kent, imploding in Cornwall.

My expectation is that all councilsa newly under Reform control will similalry collapse before completing their 4 year term.

History shows that's what political groups under Farage do - see Thanet, EU (two terms).

Ummm, the rise in the state pension age to 67 was introduced by the Coalition Government in 2014, not Labour, and paying inheritance tax when you die doesn't affect your retirement income when you're alive.

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

When idiot Ron Schneider was born in 1963, the infant mortality rate was 29/1,000. It is now close to 5/1,000. So, no, children were NOT healthier when he was a kid. And he was, clearly, dropped on his head.

The White House now lies in ruins. What Trump plans to build there, like everything else he touches, represents a twisted view of the world, contempt for our values and history and surpassingly bad taste. But elect the most famously vulgar in America president and it's what we should've expected.

There needs to be a legal reckoning for all those who actively committed genocide with a foreign military.

Congratulations, China and Trumpistan, you woke up Europe.

UK single-sex spaces guidance removed following legal challenge The EHRC has removed guidance it issued over single-sex spaces in the UK following the Supreme Court's ruling in April.

This happened and there's been silence since.

Have the EHRC realised their guidance was a load of made up hate? Probably not, but it seems their lawyers have!

Borders chief can’t name a way Brexit has helped UK control its borders The new border security commander, Martin Hewitt, said he did ‘not immediately’ have an answer

Take back control they said…

“The UK’s borders chief was unable to answer when asked by MPs to name any way in which Brexit has helped “control our borders”.

Martin Hewitt, the new border security commander, said he did “not immediately” have an answer to the question.”

Engaging a 17 year old prostitute isn't illegal in the UK. It is in the US.

“Why would children be interested in our ‘Bubble Gum Minty Mint Pops’, ‘Spongebob Squarepants Strawberry Breeze’ or ‘Triple Cola Fuzzy Bears’ flavours, which are all clearly aimed at adults?”

From the new Private Eye, out now.

Frightened and desperate: EHRC anti-trans campaign loses its momentum A week of absolute scenes leaves the organisation in limbo.

Worth a read and a share.

I wonder if the UK government have realised that introducing segregation and exclusion might be a bad look internationally.

The EHRC are now realising they're left holding the hot potato lol.
