Elon Musk is a proven danger to good science, but the Royal Society won’t say so. That’s why I resigned | Kit Yates It is vital to act, and I urge colleagues to do so. How can we stand by and laud this man while he undermines scientific integrity? asks academic and author Kit Yates

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

No second state visit for Trump This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Yes, as an American it was humiliating to watch these immoral narcissists humiliate themselves trying to bully brave, beloved Zelenskyy who fights for his people. I don’t have enough words for my rage and heartbreak. For my Ukrainian family members, for all of Ukraine, for America and the world.

Sabs disrupt a hare shoot on Banham Zoo's land A joint effort by sabs from Norwich Hunt Saboteurs (NHS), South Norfolk Hunt Saboteurs (SNHS) and Norfolk/Suffolk Hunt Saboteurs (NSHS) was able to drastically limit the numbers killed in a hare shoot...

Hare shooting is unfortunately still lawful in the UK, although the 80% decline in numbers of hares has led to calls for a ban on hare shooting during their February to September breeding season.

Most of Britain’s peat bogs could stop forming new peat as the climate changes – new study But bad news for peatlands could trigger the funding needed to preserve them.

Britain’s peat bogs store more carbon than rainforests, but many could dry out within 50 years! 😨

That’s bad news for biodiversity, flood control, and our planet.

We're working to preserve these vital ecosystems – keeping them healthy and absorbing carbon:

If you want a shot in the arm of hope, the grassroots women's organisations in Northern Ireland are where you'll find it. So much to do and lots of barriers, but the women's movement I saw there has all the passion and dedication I remember of my mother's generation, the movement that made me.

That is very much a problem too. I was on Radio 5 yesterday and the presenter gave the person I was debating against at least twice as long as he gave me and allowed him constantly to interrupt me. I mean, what is the point? To participate is to become complicit in your own defeat.

Has the Times sacked its Media Correspondent? Scrolling through its news list and it’s missed a huge story involving the monarchy, journalist ethics and a billion pound cover up at a hugely powerful media organisation. Surely more important than whether dogs suffer from January blues?

"It was found that 85% of the tracked dogs were walked off-lead in the breeding season despite signage requesting owners not to let their pets run free due to ground-nesting birds. At Snelsmore Common, Berkshire, more than 90% of the site was disturbed by dogs, reducing its conservation value"

Ah, the Telegraph doing its best to make sure what’s happening in the US also happens here. At some point the “journalists” working for it will realise they’re the bad guys. I hope.

Rare white-tailed eagle shot dead in Co Westmeath An investigation is under way following the recent shooting dead of a white-tailed eagle in Co Westmeath.

Since 2007, over 60 white-tailed eagles have been found dead. There's only ever been one prosecution, in 2009, under the Dogs Act.

Wildlife crime simply isn't taken seriously in this country!

Farage needs to be truly held to account on this,

Supermarkets unite to back farmers’ inheritance tax protest Tesco, Aldi and Lidl join calls for consultation on the policy as a report warned that it was unlikely to raise the predicted income

I thought it said “Almost every major supermarket chain has publicly backed farmers in their fight against the government's inheritance tax increase…by promising to pay them properly for the food they produce” bit.ly/42tvwxd But no. Just opposing the tax.

European Movement We're the UK's largest pro-European movement. Our goal is to reverse the calamity of Brexit and restore relations with our European neighbours.

Bluesky really is a phenomenal platform for community building. 🦋

Thanks to recent surges driven from Bluesky, European Movement membership has shot up to now just 250 members short of…

💥25,000 members💥

Please help us get over that milestone. 🙏🏻

YES to EU membership. NO to Trump.
