We know what happens when a US President ignores international law. My friend Charles Kennedy understood what was at stake in 2003 when he stood against the Iraq war. Unlike the Labour government, we will not look the other way.

Online harms impact everyone. In 2025, CCDH research shined the spotlight on the consequences of online misogyny & unregulated AI can have on kids, parents, and communities. Our work isn’t done yet. In 2026, we’ll continue to work to build safer digital spaces for all people. More ️️ ⤵️

.. Trump = Pigeon .. but, tbh, that's quite insulting to pigeons.

In the first 6 days of 2026, FTSE 100 CEOs have made more money than the average UK worker will earn in an entire year - unacceptable inequality as millions of Brits struggle with cost of living. We need to tax wealth & income fairly to invest in a fairer future for everyone.

Or else if you fancy listening to #TheGlobalJigsaw for a change, we looked into Russia's efforts: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w...

Now you see Trump’s plan: The heavy crude oil the USA needs to keep its oil refineries going comes predominantly from Canada. Venezuela is sitting on a vast and largely untapped lake of the heavy crude it needs. Russia is the other big producer of heavy crude oil. Canada next? @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Happy New Year! Our first letter of 2026 examines the increasing threat posed to the rest of the population by the wealthiest 0.001%. Just 56,000 people have vastly more wealth than half the world's population – and they want yet more. sh1.sendinblue.com/3g79ipu2bglp...

Thanks interesting read 👍 demographer Paul Morland understands and explains the plethora of issues/problems associated with declining birth rates extremely well …. along with some possible solutions. #FallingBirthRates #JamesSmith #PaulMorland #Demography 🔻

They sure do.

Nearly 15% have been ejected from the party within weeks of winning control of the council...and all they can say is - it happens to other parties - not like this, in these numbers and in these circumstances…

Part of an exceptional thread from Ben on how to shift the national stories and conversation onto what's important. "Zohran, those that pushed for the Epstein Files release, the Tesla protesters and No Kings all prove that loudly changing the conversation can piss off and stall these fascists."

Fawning over Farage 🤨 #again

Many of the laughing emojis are from so-called dormant bot accounts but the sheer scale (thousands per post about the hunger strikers) indicates how desperate the supporters and enablers of the Israeli genocide are to silence dissent.

As usual, Woody Guthrie had it right. "Yes, as through this world I've wandered I've seen lots of funny men; Some will rob you with a six-gun, And some with a fountain pen." I got it both ways this time around.

It shouldn't be long before you get the opportunity!

Also.....

It's a bleak old world out there right now so, please, do take the time this morning to count your blessings, hug your loved ones and have a bloody good laugh at Chris Mason's Wikipedia profile pic

We are NOT distracted.

Truth! 👇

#Thatcher was truly evil, but I'm sure even now, she's sat in hell, looking up at the world in utter disgust.

#FallingBirthRates 🔻

How come it seems that the anti vax brigade are ALWAYS #RightWing or #FarRight? You never hear people on the #left or #socialist spewing anti vax bollocks. I wonder if anyone has done research into lunacy & those on the #right? I bet there's a connection! 🙄

Paul Morland….. #Demography #FallingBirthRates

“The most important reason for older adults to be vaccinated against the respiratory infection RSV is that their risk of being hospitalized with it declines by almost 70 percent in the year they get the shot, and by nearly 60 percent over two years.” Vaccines work.

Five years ago.

They ALWAYS blame someone else 😔

She stole my milk 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Please enjoy this short video of some of my best cartoons from 2025, published in Private Eye, The Spectator, The Critic, New Humanist, Idler and the Big Issue. youtu.be/Ge26FvFZah8

On BBC News today: striking that it’s the two old establishment parties - Labour and the Conservatives - refusing to condemn the US breaking international law and doing what it wants. Feels like politics stuck in the past, while the public has clearly moved on.

“Cocaine is bad too!” is doing an extraordinary amount of work here for what is, ultimately, the annexation of a country to get access to their delicious natural resources to feed to your multiple corporate donors.

Covid is airborne Airborne blood vessel damage Risk to all 6 years, no action

Brexit diminished Britains role & influence in the world ,at the end of the day America,whoever is president,will do what's best for America,always has always will Empires in decline What rises also falls #PoliticsOfGreed #FollowTheMoney

She stole my milk 🤬

The question to ask Starmer at PMQs is ,what does he fear would be the consequences for the Uk of calling out Trump for his actions ? Who dare say no, #EnoughIsEnough to Trump ?
