MM refusing to do anything on climate shows that he puts disproportionate weight on the opinions of lobbyists for data centers, car manufacturers, dairy, etc cause support for government action on climate change actually unites people across the country..so who is he talking about?

Photo of art work attributed to Banksy in Independent: Banksy mural reported as criminal damage and set to be removed The image appeared on the wall of the Royal Courts of Justice in central London on Monday.

Alleged criminal damage.

New Banksy mural appears at Royal Courts of Justice The artwork, which shows a judge hitting a protester with a gavel, was confirmed by the elusive street artist.

Banksy just solved so many academics' dilemmas over a book cover. They even get to make a knowing aside about the gavel.

GAZA: 20,000 CHILDREN KILLED IN 23 MONTHS OF WAR - MORE THAN ONE CHILD KILLED EVERY HOUR At least one Palestinian child has been killed every hour on average by Israeli forces in Gaza over nearly 23 months of war, with the number of children killed now surpassing 20,000, Save the Children...

TWENTY THOUSAND CHILDREN
This is a damning indictment of the so-called international community, including Ireland, for allowing and enabling apartheid Israel to commit this genocide against Palestinians. #GazaGenocide
MORE THAN ONE CHILD KILLED EVERY HOUR

I know it's a little early for Christmas & water resistant hats, but here is a shop a few friends & I put together quickly because we all ran out of money to donate to Gaza. I just got my watch repair tools from the U.S. so you'll find a few refurbished ones as well ebay.us/m/9LoYjV

The assumption that being LGBTQ+ is about having sex is pernicious and pervasive. But it's not.

I've been married to my wife for 28 years. I see no reason to detail the number of "flings" of any variety I had before we started dating, but it's definitely not a high number.

I'm still bi.

Dracula: hello, fellow sailors. I have always wanted to explore the watery parts of the world. Call me Alucard

Elon Musk & X @elonmusk • 1h Remigration is the only way 9.. 8 Steve Laws • @Steve_Laws_ • 13h Go anywhere in the UK and look around, you'll just see foreigners everywhere. ≥ It's truly sickening the damage that has been done to our nation and our people....

Musk now supporting the deportation of anyone who isn’t white.

*Do not* use the term “remigration”. It’s an attempt to normalise Nazi hate.

Article 8 of the ECHR is the protection on which not only all positive trans law rests but also most LGB rights to, as well as those of families where one parent wasn't born in the UK. It prevents asylum seeking families from being split.

It is utterly monstrous for Labour to want to weaken rights.

Browne: it will be 'difficult to prevent' hitting point where 5,000 children are homeless Browne also confirmed that EU citizens who are classed as homeless in Ireland will be asked to return “back to their own country” if they do not meet requirements.

Ireland now has over 5000 children living through homelessness. A month ago, the Housing Minister said he was powerless to stop this.

Can you imagine being a child stuck living in a hotel, telling yourself it won't be for much longer, then seeing the man with the power to stop it talking like this

There’s an argument surely for getting a bit of land and setting up an aul community for folx of general of soundness - they did it before outside Galway or Cork I think??

So now the argument is over which of the British political parties can deport people more efficiently. The Overton window has disappeared over the (rightward) horizon.

The new tariffs are going to hit artists particularly hard if it means losing customers in the US, so I'd ask Irish people to please consider buying local, from Irish makers, where at all possible. Support that means little to a huge business makes a massive difference to small creators. We need ye.

me, after i said i didn’t want anything to eat 😌
