The legislation was driven by years of pressure from food banks and anti-waste campaigners who argued that millions of tons of perfectly good food were being destroyed while families across France struggled to eat. Stores that violate the law face fines of up to 10,000 euros per incident.

BREAKING: @andyburnham.bsky.social says the Duchy of Lancaster is treating people in the north as “second-class citizens” after failing to support the clean-up of a huge illegal waste dump near Wigan An investigation by Ch 4 News uncovered that the estate of King Charles is connected to the site

We don’t need talkers right now. We need fighters. And no matter how many times they knock me down, I’ll get back up and fight with you. Every. Single. Time.

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

Good morning , and thank you to Sheila Daglish for today's #FoxOfTheDay

Telegraph newsroom reacting to their new bosses

Telegraph acknowledges Green Party has won a "seismic byelection." And then there have been two polls this week showing us way in front of Labour and closing in on Reform? Rattled? We're growing rapidly! Join.greenparty.org.uk

The Trump administration is unsatirisable

🔥Ex-CIA Ex-Marine congressional candidate @adamduniganva8 : “This is now a regional conflict involving 17 countries… incompetence, lack of planning, and an inability to understand the scale of the crisis they’ve created… Trump spent more time with Epstein than planning for war.”

America chose this war — and must now choose how to end it ft.trib.al/Sjjqga6 | opinion

Over 1000 civilians dead, and we're letting Trump use UK bases to further his war. Britain should stand firm against Trump's illegal warmongering, and stop these bombers landing on UK soil.

MPs’ basic salary to rise to £110,000 by end of parliament, watchdog says. This should be accompanied by a total ban on second jobs, which in most cases is a corporate bribe. Must end all conflict of interests. Being a MP is a full time job. MPs must act exclusively as MPs.

“A coal power station [is] a large single target that a single missile could take out,” says Jeff Oatham of DTEK, Ukraine’s largest energy company (...) “You would need around 40 missiles to do the equivalent amount of capacity damage at a wind farm.” #EnergySecurity e360.yale.edu/features/ukr...

"This night for the first time Polish regular soldiers fired on our territory. Since 5:45 a.m. we have been returning the fire, and from now on bombs will be met by bombs." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1_Septe...

Turns out lowering bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services is really popular. This is just the beginning - people are seeing through the attacks and demanding something better. And we're making hope normal again - together. news.sky.com/story/greens...

Hear me out: if Epstein was Mossad & got blackmail on presidents, politicians, CEOs, & billionaire elite for 3 decades... then Israel has ALL of Epstein's blackmail on Americans. ALL OF IT. 👀 Suddenly I'm really curious *exactly* how Netanyahu persuaded Trump to start an illegal war for him.

Good lord. What an abject failure the Blue Labour strategy has been.

Farage is today calling "for a change of the law to ensure millions of people never can have their vote taken away again" (the local elections) And ALSO for a change in the law to take away the votes of almost a million current voters (Commonwealth nationals; migrants who are mostly not white)

Donald Trump's personal physician has claimed the scaly, scabbed-over rash on his neck is the result of a "very common cream" used for "preventative skin treatment."

well, that's the fascism, and Ben presents it as fait accompli

Comparisons to nuclear are a red herring, BTW. No chatbot is remotely as dangerous as a nuclear weapon, and likely won't be for a while. And if it *does* become dangerous, then the response should be to regulate it, not force it into becoming a lackey of the military.

It is not quite true that Stratford International has never seen an international train: it sees them rather a lot. What is true, however, is that they don’t stop. Not once; not ever. What, you might wonder, the hell? open.substack.com/pub/jonn/p/w...

“…to dictate to the world from the barrel of a gun. By what conceivable right does the U.S. behave in this way?” The rest of the world will never forgive America for inflicting Trump’s depravity, lunacy and despicable corruption on us again. Ever

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it. Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

"Trying to compete with Reform not only feels inauthentic... but a betrayal of what Labour is supposed to represent. We must address the concerns and fears of voters, not play on them." Damning stuff from Sadiq Khan www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

What an utterly disgusting and dangerous front page from the Mail today. Surely by now everyone can see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger, and uses the scapegoating of minorities and migrants to gain support. Everyone it seems except the Mail

We think GCHQ’s secret spy base in the dictatorship of Oman — which GCHQ refuses to acknowledge and the media never mention — must be very busy this weekend. www.declassifieduk.org/uk-quietly-e...

The Trump regime has launched targeted strikes against the public's attention on the Epstein files.

Greens have not received more airtime in recognition of their growing popularity.

When you were a kid, did you ever meet another kid who was clearly out of their mind, and incredibly troubled and destructive, who made you really uncomfortable to be around, and you just hoped that they would grow up to… Not be like that? And then they grew up to be even worse?

Anybody remember when Trump did this?

Excellent news

Reposting this because, hilariously, someone running an AI news aggregator just plagiarized the hell out of it and got shared 3x as much as the original post. So you know, here's the actual piece. Where I talk about LLMs making copies of copies of copies of copies and how that drives disinformation.

Good Day to All. Happy Fridays. For today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme of #Pigeons&Doves - This wonderfully plum-coloured African Olive Pigeon I found at Amakhala, South Afrcia. #birds #wildlifephotography #birdwatching #birdphotography #photography #nature #EastCoastKin

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked, do you regret not standing in Gorton & Denton yourself? No, says Zack, because in the Greens we aren't unprincipled opportunists who parachute ourselves into seats to further our own careers (in so many words) #GMB

So the Telegraph is taking this well

Supporting good content online is more important than ever (and you don't have to pay 10% to substack for the privilege). Simon Willison's constant stream of LLM/software engineering content is epic and well worth sponsoring. #artificialintelligence #aieducation github.com/sponsors/sim...

As I said three months ago the government will not achieve ‘decency’ over ‘division’ by trying to be Reform Lite youtu.be/bl0Lm7v_T18?...

🟢 Watch Hannah Spencer's by-election victory speech: "To my customers, I'm sorry, but I think I might have to cancel the work that you had booked in because I'm heading to Parliament and when I get there, I will make space for everyone doing jobs like mine. We will finally get a seat at the table."
