Very nice to hear a sane voice from Piddington. Serious respect to this woman, who is apparently already being othered by more bigoted villagers.

Dear BBC News, If you'd like to actually fulfill your mandate to inform the public of the reasons people take small boats please feel free to invite me onto any of your shows. I'm a world expert in this with an award winning book on the topic. Or you can just have a man stood shouting in the sea.

Some of London’s detractors are determined to paint a picture of a city becoming less safe. The facts tell a different story. These crimes are down ⬇️

Nigel Farage Listens to the News

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Flying to Minneapolis tomorrow to cover the ICE raids for News Agents, what is unfolding and the politics which flows from it. If you’re there or know the city and know people/organisations we should be speaking to, please get in touch. DMs open.

We take no joy criticising a young left-wing UK political figure who has often spoken up for workers' rights and progressive causes. But these barely coherent comments from Zarah Sultana on Ukraine sum up much of what is wrong with her wing of the left www.instagram.com/reel/DQT62ys...

1/Striking speech by Macron: The future of European democracy depends on taking back its digital information space. A remarkable turn from Silicon Valley as source of enlightenment to being a purveyor of slop. And the stakes aren't just ad revenue but the nation. defenddemocracy.eu/macron-democ...

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

Just did the same. Encourage others to do this- you can also choose between donating to defence, medical/humanitarian, or rebuilding Ukraine.

The Ukrainian government has a list of places where you can donate to the war effort here. I personally just donated $100: war.ukraine.ua/donate/ Slava Ukraini.

A mass consumer “ #economicblackout,” launched on social media, proposes a boycott of major megacompanies for all 24 hours of #February28 because those firms bowed to a Donald Trump edict and retreated from DEI policies to endorse racism while continuing to raise and/or fix prices.

What can you do? THIS. Be there next Saturday - and show the world, America included, that Europe is united with Ukraine. 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦🇪🇺

Incredible thread. Hopefully it’s over-reacting but I fear not. God help Americans and others where it’s fall may have similar impacts.

By the way, if you happen to have Audible (I know) then may I INSIST that you find and listen to Hugh Grant's peerless reading of A Christmas Carol. Far and away and by several parsecs the best imaginable performance. There should be awards.

A photo to be proud of. Ireland will always stand with Palestine. And indeed, all who fight back against the cancer of Imperialism. An Phoblacht abú 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

Dunno about Lee Anderson, but I just about manage my monthly Battle of the Somme with mega doses of ibuprofen

Se7en is a Christmas movie because people talk about the Bible and Brad Pitt gets a present at the end.

And this is why Democrats failing to master the politics of climate change will be fatal to the party. They have to figure it out asap. Things are going to suck, and they have to start "a story about who to blame for things sucking." Continually waiting for the next election won't cut it.
