If Canada can see the writing on the wall, why can’t the UK? A federation of similar sized nations (like the EU) gives us an equal voice. Kowtowing to the US - which will always be far bigger than we are - guarantees underling status.

"They can start cutting people's faces up. They can stab someone. They can shoot someone." EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.

Great news! Independent investigative news outlets are a rarity these days. I cherish the Nerve.

Russia has it's second worst day of the entire war, losing 2090 soldiers and 250 captured - then bombing civilians in Kyiv as revenge. youtu.be/dHqcdyJVJIM

OTD in 1938 Hitler gave a speech demanding the Sudetenland be handed to Germany. He said his countrymen were being mistreated and needed protection. Also promised it was his last territorial demand. He was lying. Imagine that happening today.

Things you won’t learn from @BBCNews #127

This is how Russia wages war

“Whether the Labour Party loosens ties or goes for full EU membership they are unlikely to win or lose votes from those on the right bloc of British politics, but they do stand to win votes from the progressive bloc if they include EU membership in their manifesto.”

Do it while you still can

And I bet Northern Ireland would add to that tally

"Nigel Farage will do you a cameo for £70. Imagine what he'll do for £70 million" Angela Rayner tells #TUC26

Is there any way to audit whether these billionaires are giving money out of their own pocket? Or whether they’re passing on funds donated by foreign dictators? Seems to me there isn’t. Perfect plausible deniability.

"So tell me Mr Farage, what was it about a system favoured by money launderers that allows donations to be totally untraceable that first attracted you to crypto?"

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

Just a reminder: leaked Russian documents showed that the their influence campaign aimed at achieving victory in Germany through a "convergence of the extremities" between the Neo Nazi AfD and the vaguely leftist Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht—both funded and supported by the Kremlin.

Never trust Russia. Its words mean nothing

Am currently reading “What Is Free Speech?” by Fara Dabhoiwala. An amazing book that looks at the history of free speech across the world. NONE of the original proponents of free speech EVER envisaged it covering the kind of vile, targeted abuse that Dawn Butler gets. Credit to her for airing it.

A professor writes: (Jason Stanley) The problem is that journalists failed to do basic journalism. Not a single reporter seems to have checked’ Jason Arday’s citations. The ‘quantifiable metrics’ of his work. Prof Stanley did: ‘Arday is easily comparable to the leading scholars in the field’

The weird thing about the Tory Brexit Brigade is is that not a single one of them has (to the best of my knowledge) ever expressed any remorse or regret despite a decade of evidence against their central proposition.
