⚡️️What Russia's doing to Ukraine is 'fine,' Trump says. "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much," Trump said, hours after a Russian drone strike in a public park killed six people, including two children.

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

Nazi Robert Jenrick, Shadow Chancellor for Reform UK, wants murder as a "solution" to "the small boats issue": "Deploy the Royal Marines into the Channel. If they need to use lethal force then...do so." This is the mass murder level of British fascism. A carbon copy of the insane US version.

There was a time when the Tories, however hypocritically, claimed to want to protect our natural heritage. Now they're just a party of vandals, ripping down the few protections the living world has for the sake of their rich chums. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It's hard to imagine a more ridiculous response to a housing and environmental crisis: scrap affordable housing requirements, strip communities of developer funding, and abolish the bodies that protect nature and the environment. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The Tories are climate and ecological vandals stuck in a bygone age. Who would build flood defences, or protect our waterways or promote natural habitats or ecological diversity - In Toryland it would be straight back to being the sad old Dirty Man of Europe www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... On the one hand - so what - they have already destroyed them as effective regulators. On the other, much bigger hand - this is the real problem with the right - destroy everything for money!

As Hegseth forges ahead with is plan to turn the entire US military into a testosterone-hyped, mindless version of the Mojo Dojo Casa House from the Barbie movie, a genuine military professional, veteran, and wounded war hero reminds us what is really needed to sustain the world's best military.

Replying to @brexitbin.bsky.social

To paraphrase Bismark: "When the cloak of history passes by, you must have the courage to grab hold of its hem." 🇨🇦 Canada has seen the writing on the wall and has done what needs to be done to help build a New World Order. 🇬🇧 Brexit Britain, however, is still pathetically pandering to the past.

With autumn approaching and rain with it, one wonders whether there will be a repeat of what occurred 👇 in late August.

You just couldn't make it up! Less than 1cm of rain was all it took for Anglian Water to dump sewage into our rivers again! This is a dereliction of duty. Anglian Water and the government must act now, before heavier winter rains fill our rivers with sewage.

I don’t want $5,000. I want a government that represents every American, doesn’t murder Americans during ICE raids, feeds those in need, ends unnecessary wars in the Middle East, stands up to Putin, and doesn’t ship immigrants to Concentration Camps.

We need a constitutional amendment that gives the people the power to remove a sitting president if Congress refuses to do the job. This is getting ridiculous.
