People can "just adapt" to a changing climate, a thousand rightwing voices keep telling us. Either they lack imagination or they don't care. Try "adapting" to this. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

More xenophobic nonsense from the increasingly shoddy Robbie Gibb-influenced BBC. If people had breached the fence at La Linea would they have chosen the words "Migrants Reach Gibraltar from Spain"? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Indeed. In fact the right wing media will be able to take credit for a sizeable proportion of how we as a society failed at the most critical times ...
When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

A barrister represents his clients in court. Clients who are political dissidents. He now faces criminal prosecution for doing so. Not Turkey. Not Egypt. Not Russia. England. Astonishing, deeply disturbing, and part of a long slide towards authoritarianism. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Last night game #FIFAWorldCup Iran 🇮🇷drew 2-2 with New Zealand 🇳🇿, but some moments are bigger than football. Seeing the tribute brought back the memory of those schoolgirls whose lives were cut short. Every American should be forced to watch this. -Video before the game - team Iran getting ready

“It’s a tragic tale- a once-confident nation making such a fearful, self-harming decision. Our economy…politics… daily lives in 2026 – all of it bears the imprint of that calamitous error” Brexit 10yrs on. Nothing to celebrate. Except the likelihood we’ll rejoin. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Any other politician. Any other party. This would be wall to wall media scrutiny. Farage and Reform shouldn’t be able to move without this being thrown at them. Venal brokers to crypto billionaires and fossil fuel magnates. A corrupt man leading a corrupt party. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Possibly the most intelligent and lucid national leader around right now - the polar opposite of Trump. Two excellent lines here : 1 . ..if you're not at the table, you're on the menu" and 2. .." This is not sovereignty. It is the performance of sovereignty whilst accepting subordination..."
At Davos, PM Carney warned that the rules-based global order is eroding amid great-power rivalry — and that “going along to get along” won’t keep countries safe. Compliance doesn’t buy security. 🎥 Credit CPAC Live / YouTube ❤️🍁🇨🇦TEAM CANADA FOREVER🇨🇦🍁❤️
Am I the only one who's beginning to suspect that the never -ending 'Threat/Remove Threat of Tariffs' cycle that the Trump Cult call foreign policy, is nothing more than insider dealing for the benefit of friends , family and benefactors? Threaten tariffs, crash market, buy, withdraw threat, sell.
Trump says he will '100%' follow through on threat to impose tariffs over Greenland demand, military options open. Snubs Starmer's appeasement. The man-child says Norway denied him Nobel Peace Prize even though it had no say. Turns against NATO allies, US is divided. There will be a bitter legacy

Lotta people get mad at me when I criticize Democratic messaging but THIS IS HOW DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE TALKING. Like normal people using normal language to communicate normal human emotions about the fucked up situation. THIS.
Q: After you told ICE to get the F out, Republicans are criticizing you for escalating tensions FREY: I'm sorry if I offered their Disney princess ears, but if we're talking about what's inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an F bomb & on other you have someone who killed someone

'Honest Bob' Jenrick, a politician obviously & deliberately embracing xenophobia, does some weapons grade xenophobia & the BBC *apologises* for a Thought For The Day contributor calling it xenophobic. Licence fee payers need to know who makes these decisions & why. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just a thought: what if we stopped measuring the economy by the state of the stock market and started measuring it based on how many people are housed and clothed and fed? https://youtu.be/tFjoDq0HfFw?si=vtbE2QNmXskvutjF

The mixed economy isn’t flashy, but it works. In a world of market failure, it’s time to rebuild the balance between state and private enterprise. youtu.be/lrQh0_BTneQ?...
