Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

Absolutely this.

Looks like the "removal of statues etc is erasing history" folks are actually into doing those removals if the history being erased is the history of black people

Mad to think that my grandads probably somewhere in that photo.

You’re a good man Martyn…Up the owls.

The driver "managed to contact the control centre at Network Rail and get the train diverted onto the slow line", Calder says. "That was absolutely crucial because this train was scheduled to be travelling through Huntingdon station on the tracks with no platform at 125mph." "It didn't stop in the middle of nowhere, which would have been very difficult." Calder thinks this was handled in the "safest possible way" thanks to the "incredible professionalism from the driver and the police". Train drivers are trained on how to take appropriate action, he adds,

Next time someone tells you that train drivers "just push buttons" show them this from the BBC

"They were careless people, Donald and Melania—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made."

Trump Administration Live Updates: Pentagon Accepts $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops During Shutdown

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

80 Percent of Global CO2 Emissions Come From Just 57 Companies, Report Shows Many of these companies increased their fossil fuel production after the Paris Agreement was signed in 2016

Just found out that the “carbon footprint” concept came from an advertising firm working for BP to promote the idea that it’s not the fault of oil giants, but individuals. From 2016 to 2022, 80% of global carbon dioxide emissions were produced by 57 companies: www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/s...

Trump ordered a show of force on Oct 18th, directing the military to fire rockets over a California highway to intimidate US civilians. A rocket malfunctioned & detonated, damaging JD Vance’s security detail. Governor @gavinnewsom.bsky.social's decision to close the highway saved lives.

Sofia Corradi, founder of the Erasmus program, passes away at 91. Known as 'Mamma Erasmus,' she viewed the program, which has sent approximately 16 million students to study abroad through Europe, as her 'personal pacifist mission.'
Bless her - an inspirational lady.

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

British.

Reminded me of this…

We got $20 billion for Argentina though.

NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine.

My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask:

Why, even now, is no-one asking questions?

On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, don't forget that she called Osama bin Laden a freedom fighter, Nelson Mandela a terrorist, General Pinochet a friend. And Jimmy Savile 'Sir'.

A very happy birthday to AOC ....we all appreciate you so much....

Translation: they gave him a plane and filled his family’s pockets

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News. A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

Dems floated a narrow bill to fund the military, which can’t move because the House isn’t in session. Meanwhile, DoD is now going to spend funds not appropriated by Congress to ensure military paychecks continue.

POTUS now both commands and provisions the military. Unconstitutional and SO dangerous

My experience, for what it’s worth.

This is Ada Lovelace, daughter of Lord Byron and considered to be the first person to write a computer programme which was for Babbage's Analytical Machine. She died in 1842
In her honour, today is Ada Lovelace Day and is all about encouraging women and girls in mathematics, science and engineering.

NHS could cease to function under Labour’s new visa rules, say nurses Exclusive: Royal College of Nursing says plan to tighten rules for foreign workers is ‘pandering’ to Reform UK

"NHS could cease to function under Labour’s new visa rules, say nurses

In the most explicit attack yet on Labour’s proposed restrictions on overseas workers, the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) described the plan as “ignorant” and “pandering” to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK."

RCN speaking the truth.

Being accountable to an international court means our Government has to answer to them if it tries to undermine your human rights. Be very suspicious of any UK politician who wants to remove that check on their powers.

Share this and speak up for your freedoms.

Scrolling through a website looking for a Christmas jumper for my 14 year old daughter…..seriously, what has this country become?

Had the pleasure of meeting him when me and my dad were doing the ground tour…Absolute gentleman….Xbana Milan.

Convinced that most British people want to live in a functioning, decent country where government improves stuff and everyone can thrive.

The vast majority want nothing to do with this imported hate and atmosphere of violence directed at people just trying to live their lives.
