The reality of Putin's regime.
23-year-old Varvara Volkova has been sentenced to 7 years in prison for "discrediting the army" on social media. She wrote that the russian armed forces had killed civilians and that she did not support the russian government.

Not a hurtful or insulting milk shake, obvs.

One of the worst atrocities and one of the least discussed.

Good point. Though technically Old Noll only cancelled all the fun (“pagan”) bits of Christmas and not the bit where you had to sit, kneel or stand in a cold bare church, being harangued by a preacher with no jolly songs to cheer you along.

Brilliant job on the Trump libel

Drax still burning 250-year-old trees sourced from forests in Canada, experts say Exclusive: report by Stand.earth says subsidiary of power plant received truckloads of whole logs at biomass pellet sites

One thing to say: #AxeDrax

Just heard @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.

No, it was meant to be a joke response

‘Change course now’: humanity has missed 1.5C climate target, says UN head Exclusive: ‘Devastating consequences’ now inevitable but emissions cuts still vital, says António Guterres in sole interview before Cop30

Every delay, every oil field, every broken promise made this crisis worse.

Keir Starmer, will you promise to leave Rosebank undeveloped?

I suppose that means the Beeb will refer to him as Prince but the rest of us can just call him Nonce.
