The new walks near Frigiliana which we've added to our hiking website expand the area it covers down to the south-west. The Ruta del Gollizno looks a bit lonely up in the north-west. treksierranevada.com/map

Nigel Farage has given Reform UK candidates permission to publicly support the serial criminally convicted fraudster, thug, stalker and far-right activist who founded the English Defence League. This is who they are. Never forget it.

On 3 September 1953, the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) came into force. Since then, it’s quietly helped protect the rights we rely on every day – including our freedom to speak out, to protest, to love who we choose and to live in peace. www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue/the-re...

Ahead of tomorrow's budget statement. Here’s how the UK chancellor can raise the billions needed to improve the quality of life of millions by addressing tax and fiscal anomalies. There is no shortage of money. All that is needed is the political will.

This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.

Pro-Europeans really need to get their act together if they're going to sieze the opportunity which is being presented here. Press and broadcasters reverting right back to their previous position from 2016, with zero update.

Why are the people who accuse those talking about reversing Brexit of "living in the past" never asked about their own plans to rip up an international agreement that was first signed by the UK some 75 years ago?

Keep foreign money out of UK politics. 80 per cent of donations to Reform UK in the past 12 months have come from donors or companies based overseas. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

💯The case for democracy is not that voters are always right, or wise, or good. It's that they can correct their mistakes. That's why it's so dangerous to have billionaires controlling the media or regulating the flow of information. It shuts down the immune system of democracy.

James O'Brien highlighting how Brexit populists demonised EU freedom of movement with toxic lies shows why Britain must confront reality. Reciprocal mobility was the engine of Single Market growth, not a threat. Why remain trapped by populist myths? 🤔 #RejoinEU

We’ve never learned this lesson in the UK. We still have to listen to the ‘legitimate concerns’ of a bunch of racists and fascists.

The LibDems support getting back EU Freedom of Movement and all the other benefits of the Single Market. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Healey to ensure state pension (SP) is not taxed for poorest pensioners, SP set to exceed personal allowance (PA). A person relying solely on SP will pay no income tax. Another with lower SP & other source for the same total income could pay tax. Unfair. Cliffe-edge issues. Increase PA for all.

Yes 👏 Finally, a Prime Minister being honest about the damage Brexit has done - and the only real option on the table. EU membership. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8e36kyk1qx5o

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Vote Leave said Beexit would reduce immigration. What was the result? The UK had lower immigration when we ALL had Freedom of Movement.

First Serbia, and now an even more seismic election result for the geopolitics of now. Hard to overstate how important Brazil bucking the far right trend in Latin America is - also a huge blow to Trump www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

He destroyed his country, maybe they want him to destroy the UN as well?

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Well you can't get much clearer than that. Restore are Putin stooges.

First Orban, now Vučić. Both fundamentally undone by rank corruption of their regimes. Which is so often the reality of the authoritarian right in power. Really worth paying heed to in Western Europe right now

North East Bylines reporting 72% of Labour voters want talks on rejoining the EU shows public appetite for real change. Brexit swapped fluid reciprocal mobility for a £180bn economic black hole and a one-way visa ratchet. Why stay trapped in failure? (1/2) 🤔 #RejoinEU
