This was once a forest in Finland of more than 250,000 trees. Google chopped it down illegally to build another one of their AI Monstrosities. The sooner they are all bankrupt the better.

Netanyahu claims Iran is developing a Nuclear Weapon (For the last 34 years and counting) and is 'a danger'. Israel actually has Nuclear Weapons, has attacked 9 countries in the last 2 years and is currently invading 3. We all know who the danger is.

In a functioning democracy reporting like this would contain the relevant facts that Phillipson receives funding from the Israel lobby and votes in favour of policy supporting Israeli apartheid and genocide whenever given the opportunity. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Remembering the 116 Children and 28 Adults who tragically perished in the Aberfan Disaster 60yrs ago today. 109 children and 5 teachers died at the local school when it took the brunt of one of the 7 ‘spoil tips’ collapsing & burying all in its path.

Burnham is sending UK troops to Saudi Arabia to back their horrific bombing campaign in Yemen. The Saudi's have committed horrific war crimes in Yemen, causing a famine and cholera outbreak. The UK shouldn't be backing them under any circumstances.

For three years, Britain's political class made clear that genocide was not a red line. Now they're making clear that opposition to genocide is a red line.

For 14yrs, the Tories cratered our economy, added thousands to our cost of living, melted down public services and brexited us into decades of eye-watering expense and lost opportunity. That’s still their plan. With tax breaks for the super rich paid for by welfare cuts. So what TF is this headline?

On-brand. 'Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin completed the purchase of an £800,000 Grade-II listed property on the southern coast of Anglesey (Ynys Môn) two days after raising concerns in parliament about the impact of second homes on rural communities.' www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This. It’s not so much the fact we elected this man in the first place. It’s that we elected him AGAIN and have refused to remove him EVEN AFTER WE FOUND OUT HE WAS TRYING TO BE A DICTATOR.

Lovely walk this morning from Willaston to the outskirts of Neston, Cheshire. Sunny. Not too warm, not too cold, wet, or windy, just perfect. #DogsOfBluesky

Since the 'ceasefire' in Gaza, 1400+ Palestinians have been killed. 0 Israelis have been killed. The 'ceasefire' is not a Ceasefire but simply a protection for Israel, while Israel are allowed to go on killing.

The ability to pour hundreds of millions of pounds into a loss-making TV channel, bent on wrenching British politics sharply to the right, is yet another of the ways in which extreme wealth is trying to remake UK democracy. It needs to be part of any serious conversation about political funding.

Here's the short answer. Social Care would be affordable if it was Nationalised. So would Energy. And Water. And Housing. And so on. The problem, no profit for billionaires. But that would be THEIR problem.

Two “lethal” injections later and death row inmate Christa Pike is alive and receiving medical care. Time to end this barbaric bullshit.

There wasn't a social care crisis when local authorities provided the service free of charge. Then Thatcher privatised it and private equity bosses started charging £8000 a month.

Despite being a famous Hollywood star if you want to know what sort of person DAVID NIVEN was, the largest wreath at his funeral was from the Porters at Heathrow Airport. It read: “To the finest gentleman who ever walked through these halls. He made a Porter feel like a King.”

Liz Truss doesn't know the difference between the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea. She knocked £425bn off the value of pension fund assets. She thinks Tony Blair set up the Bank of England. And major companies pay her £80,000 a speech for her insights on politics and economics.
