👏 Angela Rayner: "Nigel Farage's sugar daddies made their money in crypto, but there's nothing cryptic about their motives."
⚠️ "They know full well that a Reform government will act in their
interests"
💷 "If Farage will do you a cameo for £70, just ask yourself what he'd do for £ 70 million."
Dolly Parton did all the good she could, for all the people she could, for as long as ever she could.
From her legendary songwriting to the Imagination Library—which sent 1 million books a month to children across the country—she was the best of America.
Dolly, we'll miss your great heart.
🇺🇦🇺🇸❄️ Zelensky: "If the US sells us 5% of Patriot interceptors, we will survive the winter and save people's lives. If they can sell us 10%, we will destroy all of Russia's ballistic missiles. I have 1%."
80% of Australians support a complete ban on gambling advertising. It’s time the government got on board.
Join the campaign today to call on the federal government to protect young Australians from the predatory gambling industry and free our feeds from gambling ads.
Ask yourself:
why does Reform UK want to reduce the minimum wage
for people facing increasing debts for food, rent, energy
but cut taxes for the superrich
who've already more gated mansions, private jets, luxury yachts than anyone needs, and more money than anyone could usefully spend in a lifetime
Isn't it just amazing to have a US president who is so knowledgable about so many things that can even lend his expertise to assure fair play in the World Cup?
Infantino is well named. All the backbone of a baby. That makes two of them.
Two red cards in order, I think.
On a single short walk home from town my safety was compromised by a powered scooter, a heavy powered cycle and a speeding granny in a mobility scooter. We too need legislation to protect pedestrians from increasing risks from this new class of personal transport vehicles. @greenpartyni.org
They come from behind quickly, quietly and far too close to pedestrians. One badly timed step in a different direction and a collision could occur. This is what happened to me but at a pedestrian crossing no injury ensued. The increased risks are huge and pedestrians will be badly injured.
The Dutch infrastructure authority completed a systematic assessment in 2023 identifying 420 kilometres of barriers oriented within 45 degrees of south-facing, suitable for bifacial #solarpanel installation without structural modification or planning procedures beyond normal road authority approval
This is why cities need trees.
Hard surfaces and parked cars can reach extreme temperatures, while shaded grass and tree-covered areas stay dramatically cooler.
This is the urban heat island effect in one image: hard surfaces absorb and radiate heat, while vegetation and shade reduce it.
Because the British so called press is largely a confection of lazy client journalists of their very right leaning owners. Or is that a confabulation....?

Congratulations to Alexander Browder on being awarded Russia's highest honour - sanctioned for exposing Russian corruption. Stepping very well into the enormous shoes of his father Bill. Chapeau les deux.
🇬🇧 A 17-year-old British high school student has become one of the youngest people sanctioned by Russia.
Alexander Browder says he made Russia "uncomfortable" by unveiling a cryptocurrency money laundering network he says was being used by Moscow to evade U.S. sanctions.
"France is the second country in as many weeks to cancel its work with the creepy surveillance company led by CEO Alex Karp. Several European nations are expected to follow France's footsteps in the coming weeks and also cancel all existing contracts with Palantir."

For years, right-wing scaremongers claimed rejoining the EU meant being forced into Schengen and adopting the euro. Now, Michel Barnier drops the ultimate truth bomb: the UK could reclaim its exact special pre-Brexit exemptions. What's the excuse for managed decline now? 🤡🎪👇
Looks like Michel Barnier agrees with me that the EU would welcome Britain back as a member and, if it wants, Britain could stay out of Schengen and the euro :

Congratulations @london.gov.uk
People first is always a winning strategy in my book - I am so happy to see you making it a winning strategy for London.
London has been awarded the prestigious 2026 Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of transforming our city for the better.
For 30yrs of the Troubles, white men brutally murdered white men & women in Belfast and beyond. Every paramilitary murder driven by hatred, profit and power - not colour. Don't buy the lie
put out by those carrying the mantle of those very same perpetrators. Murder is not caused by immigration.
Keir Starmer has to go. The UK needs an inspiring plan voiced by an inspiring leader. Let us acknowledge Keir for getting Labour elected but let us now create a real social democracy offering to inspire the electorate with the honesty and challenge that will sideline Farage.
If renewables were 100% of UK energy - like Albania, Bhutan, Nepal, Paraguay, Iceland, Ethiopia, DRG
oil billionaires greed & paedo President wars couldn't make home energy costs soar
"Renewables now 47% of UK power. More than gas at 28%. Time to get serious.
Vote Green"

If you can get to see this show in Belfast's Grand Opera House every night until Saturday this week - make every effort to get there. I was a First Class experience. Great job St Agnes Choral Society
Todays moronic news. Trump will unleash hell on Iran if they don't capitulate to his wishes. Does he not know that Iran is not afraid of taco Trump and is no-one able to tell him? When will sense take back this mad house?
America, why do you maintain in office a diabolical man who stands over and supports the perpetrator of these actions and continue to do their bidding in Iran?
"The reality on the ground is really horrific, is it not?"
Emma Murphy: "Yes it is.. what's really burning are the rules based order, the rules that were supposed to apply in war, particularly to civilians.. children.. the rules of proportionality, protection, distinction"
There's a special place reserved in Hell for hacks and apologists who attempt to explain the verbal dribblings of Donald Trump.
Trump is insane and dangerous. It's that simple. Call it out.
Trump has reached a new low in my already established hatred for his outrageous condemnation of the UK for not immediately rolling over to join him in his ill considered misadventure in Iran. How can such stupidity be allowed to stay in such a dangerous place as POTUS? Do Americans really want this?
Standing united for a plastic free future ,together we can end plastic pollution
