Alarm bells are ringing in the Horn of Africa. Farms are no longer yielding, pests are spreading, and tropical diseases are emerging. Climate change is real, and it’s destroying lives. #ClimateCrisis #GlobalAction

Suella makes the ultimate sacrifice as she ditches Tories for Reform | John Crace Most of those at Monday’s event had to remind themselves that Braverman hadn’t defected long ago

Lovely hatchet job on the monstrosity that is Suella Braverman. Crace covers it all;
her dishonesty, disloyalty, nastiness, incompetence, her wild vanity… and her deep stupidity.
How dare these utter arses think we’d be persuaded by their swaggering nonsense.

This video footage is from the ICE Baltimore Field Office located at 31 Hopkins Plaza in Baltimore, Maryland.

They murdered a nurse who cared for military veterans & then called him a terrorist.

He pretends to be outraged when war memorials are disrespected during marches that pass by them but the actual denigration of British war dead?
“Not quite fair.”
What an irredeemable shitbag.

They lived, worked, served—and hundreds of them gave their lives—side by side with American troops. Anyone who served in Afghanistan knows how much this mattered, and we will never forget.

YouTube video by LBC A moment of unutterable horror from Donald Trump | James O’Brien - The Whole Show

To all those in America, who may not quit understand how Trumps words about the allied soldiers who fought in Afghanistan impact the world. I suggest you listen to the @mrjamesob.bsky.social radio show from yesterday. This is so powerful and should hit home for everyone.

It’s a real shame that Nigel Farage is too unwell to do interviews the morning after Donald Trump threatens us with sanctions.

Here he is with “the bravest man he ever met”. He campaigned to make Trump President, and has spent the last year enjoying all the chaos he has caused.

So reciprocal tariffs and boycotts on all US goods until he stops threatening to colonise a peaceful European-owned country

Did you know?
2025 was the third hottest year on record, and the last 11 years are the warmest ever. Oceans absorbed 90% of the extra heat, fueling stronger storms, heavier floods & marine die-offs.
This isn't "weather", it's our planet screaming. Time to listen.

Government’s wildlife targets will be missed in England, watchdog says Seven out of 10 targets have little likelihood of being met by 2030, Office for Environmental Protection says

Utterly damning report from Office for Environmental Protection - the Govt’s not only missing its targets to protect wildlife in England, it’s also failing on *almost all* environmental measures - and in some cases actively destroying the natural world through its obsession with growth at all costs

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

Question for the NYTimes: In what world do you not immediately flash the news that an American President has told you "I don't believe in international law"? Am just curious, 'cos I must have missed that journalism class.

Two social media posts. The first is from Keir Starmer and reads: “The UK has long supported a transition of power in Venezuela. We regarded Maduro as an illegitimate President and we shed no tears about the end of his regime. I reiterated my support for international law this morning. The UK government will discuss the evolving situation with US counterparts in the days ahead as we seek a safe and peaceful transition to a legitimate government that reflects the will of the Venezuelan people.” Below it is a post from Ed Davey that reads: “This cop out isn’t good enough. Standing up for international law means condemning leaders when they break it, whether that’s Vladimir Putin or Donald Trump.”

Attack and a dozen transport helicopters see flying at low altitudes across Caracas, the transport helis have a capacity of up to 400 US invaders. US paratroopers are reported to have landed at Maduro’s residence and are fighting Venezuelan defence forces. #VenezuelaInvasion

Just 0.001% hold three times the wealth of poorest half of humanity, report finds.

This is obscene.

That others in politics can’t or won’t say that this is obscene hits at the heart of the problems we face.

We are the 99.999%.

Tax the super rich.

Another classic photobomb moment from Larry. I don't think Mr. Zelenskyy minded at all.

Covid inquiry live: ‘Inexcusable’ delays under Johnson led to 23,000 deaths Lockdowns may have been avoided if Boris Johnson’s government had acted faster, damning report finds

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

We're just getting started.

Time to lower bills. And tax billionaires.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.
