Four days ago, Donald Trump claimed this latest Epstein File distraction technique would ‘take four weeks; maybe less’.

It’s like living in Orwell’s 1984.

The right keep claiming Starmer is a ‘coward’ for not slavishly following America into another war.

Have these people forgotten the 1 million dead Iraqis and 638 British soldiers already?

True ‘courage’ is refusing to put Trump and a bunch of dictators before your own people.

One in six boys aged 6-15 have a positive view of Andrew Tate Twice as many hold a negative view

You never learn.

They need to stop complaining then, right?

Suits me perfectly.

You gave your kids a smartphone and invited the kind of people you’d never want them to associate with in real life straight into their bedroom.

But I was the ‘extremist’ for advocating internet use regulation for children?

Why should British taxpayers pay for the wars of billionaire Middle Eastern despots?

Come now, don’t be shy.

The U.S President is a Russian asset.

We’re not interested in your paid propaganda and psy-ops.

Exclusive: Ukraine's F-16 jets were starved of US-made missiles for weeks Ukraine's F-16 fighter jets didn't have enough missiles to shoot down Russian drones and missiles for more than three weeks after supplies from Kyiv's partners dried up just as Moscow was preparing a massive winter air campaign, three sources said.

The same billionaire dictators that deliberately encourage British people to move to their tax havens so they don’t have to fund defence and public services at home think *we’ve* let them down, lads…😂

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

Lobbyists send legal threats to councils over anti-wood burner campaigns At least eight councils receive legal threats alleging flyers criticising wood burners are in breach of advertising codes Lobbyists for the UK wood-burning stove industry have threatened councils with legal action over public information campaigns warning of the harms of air pollution. At least eight councils have received legal threats, according to research by the British Medical Journal (BMJ). The Stove Industry Association (SIA), which represents the UK’s expanding industry around the burning of wood in domestic settings, wrote to the councils, all London boroughs, in late 2023 complaining that flyers stating wood burners were “careless, not cosy” were in breach of UK advertising codes.

Lobbyists send legal threats to councils over anti-wood burner campaigns

I think you need to understand how and why WWII began, not least because Trump and the Republicans are following the Nazi Party playbook to the letter.

Fuel Duty has been frozen, and therefore cut, for 15 years in the U.K, turbocharging transport emissions and starving local councils of grant funding to repair our crumbling roads.

It’s been a disaster and it’s beyond embarrassing that any mainstream party would campaign to maintain the freeze.

638 British service personnel gave their lives coming to the aid of an America that hates Britain but loves a six-time Vietnam draft-dodger who talks more about his ballroom than the U.S war dead.

Never again.

America bombed Iran after weeks of intense lobbying from Israel and Saudi Arabia.

So, give or take, 50,000 dead civilians - but no your kids blown to bits, right?

Israel estimates 17,000.

How many of them?

I can’t even imagine how much of coward and desperate failure in life a person would have to be to write such a grotesque response.

There’s no hope for the souls of them morally barren.

This Israelis bombing Iranian civilians have just killed 73,000 Gazans, and the Saudis assisting them have killed 20,000 Yemenis.

I wouldn’t spill a single drop of British blood for any of these war criminals.

Never again.

…and the Saudis and Israelis bombing Iran have killed 100,000 Gazans and Yemenis between them.

If the only people who benefited from bombing Iran were everyday Iranians, the Ayatollah would still dictating from his compound.

You’re not getting one drop of British blood for these war pigs.

Watch the ‘let’s mindlessly follow America into another war’ keyboard warriors start whining about the cost of living when the impact of Operation Epic Epstein Cover Up turns up in their gas bill.

Blame your hero, President Bone Spurs.

Over 40% of global shipping by volume exists to move fossil fuels from one place to another.

A huge share of the world's maritime infrastructure has been built around a system that is going to change dramatically as renewable energy and electrification displace fossil fuels.

What is NOT on my news feed since the weekend:

Ukraine (about 50% of previous)
ICE (about 25% of previous)
Climate change (about 10% of previous)
Epstein Files (about 5% of previous)

The US/Israel war against Iran is, for obvious reasons, distracting me/us from many other issues.

Worth noting that despite frothing at the mouth of various right-wing media outlets in UK, the decision by Ed Miliband to go ahead with over 8GW of offshore wind in the recent renewables auction now looks a sensible bet

One of few ways UK can reduce economic risk from instability in Middle East

1,100 Iranian civilians killed by America, Israel, and Saudi Arabia in the last three days.

That’s a strange way to ‘liberate’ people.

It’s a shame Donald Trump couldn’t find more time to talk about when making that important announcement about his new ballroom.

More solar energy for electricity generation falls on the Earth in a day than we use in a year.
