Who can forget Churchill's inspiring speech, praising the new gold lamΓ© curtains installed in No. 10 when we were at our darkest hour?
Farmhouse. The northern Pennines.
About 18 months ago we made a trip up to the northern Pennines. Depopulated, de-industrialised, very beautiful and quite melancholic.

Says Badenoch, as she presides over the Last Rites of her Party.
Each day Nige further morphs into a Poundstore version of his fellow man-baby, Trump. He can't bring himself to realise that he is a LOSER. The voters of Gorton and Denton have rejected his neo-fascist policies. A victory for idealism and decency in our politics, and a rejection of Trump/Putin.
Day 1334 of #IansDailyPhotoChallenge and we sometimes see these hopping around up in the trees, but it was a rare treat to actually get a photo of a nuthatch today π€ #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters

Beautiful dogs!! π
We need to be kinder to humans, the animals, and the Earth.
It really is that simple.
Done! Trump is a threat to all his former allies, especially Canada, a country of which King Charles is Head of State.
There's also a new Parliamentary petition (as of today) to oppose state visits involving hostile foreign heads of state - like Trump.

It's planned to send the King to the US to celebrate with Trump. But after his insulting our troops, sending Charles, Head of our Armed Forces, to honour Trump, would be a slap in the face to veterans. Will you add your name to the petition to cancel the visit? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...
These two women are suing Andrew Tate, alleging he raped them. Here they visit the social media companies that created Tate. Please share.

Lengthy debate about Russian interference in UK politics, but worth watching. We urgently need to release the unredacted Russia Report, and to call out the Russian connections of Farage and Reform, particularly in the light of the Gill conviction, whitewashed by Reform.
This should infuriate everyone.
Palantir must be destroyed.

BREAKING: Peter Mandelson just sent this secret notice to all UK media, demanding they leave him alone.
He uses IPSO clauses designed to support grieving families in a bid to stop scrutiny of his relationship with Epstein
We have published it in full.

Here is an otter snoot to help you through the day.
As a long-time legal practitioner, Starmer should have developed an instinct to recognise lies, particularly in the case of someone who had been embroiled in scandal in the previous Labour administration. There is more to this than we are being told.
An appointment showing a monumental lack of judgement on the part of Starmer, the revelations providing a handy deflection from the depravities of the main players, and providing an excellent opportunity to embarrass a former ally.
NEVER FORGET!!!
His closeness to the UK's chief Russian apologist and propagandist, Nigel Farage, is further evidence.
The signs are abundantly clear now. Declining populations of flora and fauna; global temperatures rising faster than predicted; once uncommon severe weather conditions becoming the norm. Greed and ignorance must not prevail.
Wealth & tech won't save us from climate catastrophe. A dead planet makes money useless. The signs are clear,respect nature now to thrive together! π #ClimateAction #Sustainability
It feels wrong that an MP can get elected on one platform and then just... swap? π€·ββοΈ Iβve signed this to demand a by-election when MPs cross the floor. Let's make sure our votes actually count. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...
And boycott the corporations who sponsor the event.
The entire world has witnessed this murder. The responsibility lies with the mobsters in the White House, who have filled the cities of their political rivals with unaccountable, untrained, masked thugs. While the rule of law is by-passed by the administration, the murderers will not face justice.
Under this Administration, ICE has created chaos in communities across the country and used deadly force against Americans. That's unacceptable.
Ruben Gallego and I have a bill to set clear standards for the use of force and make sure ICE is accountable to the people they serve.
