NEW via CNN: “The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal”

In the face of threats from across the pond it would be nice to see the BBC respond with well researched content on the criminality, cruelty, corruption and unconstitutional authoritarianism taking place in the US.
Don't appease. Shine a spotlight on it.

And he won the election so it's hard to argue he suffered any tangible loss

The governments of rich countries. People want them to do more

It is unacceptable that members of congress in response to a President repeatedly ignoring Congress is to give him political cover to keep doing that. Appeasement doesn’t work with wannabe strongmen, they know you’ll cave so they’ll do it again. Have some dignity and stand for something

The BBC should serve as an example to all that there is nothing you can give the far rabid right that will satisfy it.

It has simpered, pandered, soft-balled and fluff-jobbed, both-sidesed and debased itself into being a platform for liars to look down the camera and lie on, & it still gets fucked.

'most respected'..... 😂😂🤣🤣🤣😭😭

While Americans face 50 year mortgages ...
in Sweden the average rate of repayment in equates to 140 years.
(Once the loan gets below 75% of the value of the property a lot of people just pay the interest and don't pay down the capital - and you get tax relief on the interest :).

UK seeks inspiration from Denmark to shake up immigration system Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is taking cues from some of the toughest migration laws in Europe.

Denmark steals possessions of people seeking asylum, as policy. It returns people to situations where they are killed.
Mahmood is copying some of the worst policies going.
Labour once again showing it's just another anti-asylum, anti-human rights, government. #r4today

Who's Funding the War on Trans Inclusion? A 40-fold surge in cases and the litigation infrastructure behind it

“When American organisations with annual budgets in the hundreds of millions fund UK litigation, there are legitimate questions about whether this serves British democratic interests”

And this is worth writing about because..?

Krönika: ”Ni är inte välkomna” Svensk politik har fastnat i en budgivning i hårdhet, där symboler går före resultat. SD-regeringens återvandringsbidrag blev droppen – från Jokkmokk spreds ett kommunalt uppror, skriver Jonas Sjösted...

Varför ska vi försöka bli av med våra grannar, vänner och arbetskamrater? Det är personer som våra samhällen verkligen behöver.
Det är som om Jokkmokks kommunalråd öppnade ett fönster och släppte in frisk luft i samhällsdebatten.

Trump here, sanctions breaking on behalf of Putin

Ahhh. Car theft and kidnapping

I really don't care if people are still on TwiXter for whatever reasons, I just don't want to see the screenshots of "can you believe someone said this hateful crap over on the hell site!" posts.
Literally, nobody cares. If I wanted to see it, I'd go over. I don't.

Sounds like someone lobbying for "Yes Kings"

Elon Musk is boosting the British right - and this shows how Elon Musk is boosting the British right - and this shows how

X is designed to radicalise people.

The algorithm promotes Elon Musk's agenda to promote racists and people who want violence bought - specifically - to the streets of Britain.

Members of Parliament, major institutions and the media should not be there.

I'm curious to know how he thinks this compares, in terms of lethality, to cutting US aid, removing vaccine mandates, murdering people in boats in international waters or cutting food aid to the needy.

Thoughts and prayers for any Border Patrol agents who have to share a home with a toddler without the benefit of their ballistic vest

In a sane world, civilians that throw sandwiches would not end up in court, while officers that assault civilians and lob tear gas grenades into peaceful protestors would be sent down.

I'm sure right wing climate scepticism plays a role. These are people that don't care about the climate impact of their lifestyle.

Not taxing flying is crazy given the climate impact

Newton discovered gravity at age 23. There's no reason to think a young person's contribution should be underpaid.

Providing real time location based info in an app can also make using buses much less hit and miss. (Though this doesn't help everyone}

Their emissions grew last year by 9% to 16 million tonnes of CO2, the most polluting airline in Europe.

Media organisations make a choice to highlight their financials, but not their destruction of our stable climate.

Necessity is the mother of invention

Although if you want low emissions public transport, cycling and walking are better choices.

A whole shilling a day. Are you sure?

Man kan undrar varför rubriken är inte 'Musk helt tappar grep om verkligheten'.
Att repetera vad han hitta på är meningslös.

European negotiators were personally targeted by their American counterparts during a brutal negotiation over green shipping rules, @ec.europa.eu officials told @politico.eu — a highly unusual gambit that left diplomats shaken after the meeting. /2
