Very loud explosion in Kharkiv ‼️ building shook. we are under russian missile attack right now

Black smoke is visible from a distance: a military ship in Kronstadt may have been hit During a mass drone attack on the Leningrad region of Russia, explosions were heard in the Russian city of Kronstadt. There is a base of the Russian Baltic Fleet located there.

St Petersburg’s maritime fuel terminal is on fire thanks to a visit from Ukrainian drones. #explodey

France bans bee-killing pesticides. Bees are the engine of our agriculture. Without them, our food supply is put at risk. Healthy soil and intact habitats form the foundation for true sustainability.

👀❗️Zelensky: Russians are losing 30,000–35,000 soldiers every month. And the nature of these losses has changed over the past year: about 63% are killed, another 37% are seriously wounded. These are huge, irreversible losses.

Humphrys' frank admission that he basically was drunk on air whilst reporting Nixon's resignation is a reminder that boozy workplaces are almost a thing of the past now, even in journalism. Oddly, one of the holdouts seems to be politics www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Dear Mette, warm congratulations on your third term as Denmark’s Prime Minister. Europe has so much to gain from your experience, leadership and dedication. I’m very happy to continue working with you in the years ahead. You can always count on my support and friendship.

Ukrainian drones hit St Petersburg as Putin's flagship economic forum opens www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

She is spot on, when you think what the UK Government has done to silence critics, ban speakers, just because they disagree with the policy of support for the Zionists while they conduct a genocide. I just wish more politicians would stand up and call out what they are doing. The Spanish can.

If you say "I support Palestine Action", they might put you in jail. If you incite a racist riot, they put you on the news.

This headline is a travesty. It's not a protest and it's got nothing to do with Henry Nowak. It's a racist riot. Call it that.

Fire spreading at the Saint Petersburg oil terminal 🔥 By the way, the Petersburg Economic Forum starts today 😉

Henry's brutal murder and the failures of the police have been appalling. His father's words are vital: "We don't want Henry's murder to be used to create further hatred, division or tension."

Ukrainian drones have breached Moscow's air defense and Ukrainian drones are flying around Moscow right now. Other areas in russia have also been targeted and hit.

This is Farage’s Britain. A hellscape of racism and riots. Decency cast aside. No responsible media platform should have given him this opportunity. A disgraceful, disrespectful day. Yet another warning to us all that all Farage will ever do is hurt and ruin and divide.

Incredible! Scientists receive a rare standing ovation after announcing that a new treatment can double the survival time for pancreatic cancer, the deadliest cancer which was once considered “undruggable.” When we fund and support science, we can achieve anything! (Video: Dr. Wish Dhillon)

The prospect of Reform in charge of our NHS is truly terrifying. Not only do they want to introduce a US style charging system, they don't understand basic evidence.

📉 The Russian Finance Ministry and the Central Bank have told Putin that further financing of the war on the current scale threatens to lead to a dangerous increase in the budget deficit, - Bloomberg Without spending cuts, it will be impossible to stabilize state finances. 1/3

When it comes to dealing with russian aggression, the world should liten to Baltic diplomats instead of Western leaders: 👇 "After every russian escalation into a NATO country we hear leaders repeating the mantra "We stand with..." But we could do much more than standing around."

When the father of a murdered son makes a public statement saying "we do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension", then I believe it's incumbent on any news outlet reporting on Farage's comments to ensure people know he has chosen to disregard the family's wishes.

Trump is president because he was willing to do anything to get it. He took money from every dark place. Now what we have is someone in office doing everything in his power to hurt the regular working people for profit. If it keeps going like this we will be on the next patch

France: "Nothing justifies" Israel's escalation in Lebanon UK: Israel has "eroded space for diplomacy" Germany: Israel's advance is a "cause for serious concern" US: "Let's integrate our militaries"

A russian attack on Dnipro has taken the life of a small child. Rescuers recovered the body of a boy born in 2023 from beneath the rubble. Eight people have been killed in the city. In Kyiv, five people were killed.

Always, and only, buy local honey.

The only message not voting sends to a politician is that your opinion can be safely ignored because you will never hold them accountable. That's it. You can tell yourself not voting is good for your personal brand or your moral well being, but never pretend it makes a difference in the real world.

Denys Davood June 1 The Saratov. refinery in Russia was struck last night. by Ukrainian drones, 700 kilometers away from Ukraine. They are a sprawling facility, one of Russias largest. The distillation unit and 5 oil storage tanks were hit.

Russian attack on Kyiv tonight. Home to several million people. Children. Elderly. Families, just like yours.

Some good news, at least.

Russian drone attack on Kharkiv continues‼️ Air defense is firing non stop. there were several loud explosions so far.

In the Dnipropetrovsk region, 6 people are known to have been killed. Thirty-six people were injured. While emergency crews were responding to the aftermath of the attack, the russian launched a second strike, killing a rescuer.

NEW | Ukrainian forces have largely halted the Russian Spring-Summer 2026 offensive so far, and Russian forces in May 2026 have gained a presence in only a fraction of the territory they did in May 2026. www.criticalthreats.org/analysis/rus...

We must not forget the brave people of Ukraine, fighting to defend Europe.

Air defense working in Kyiv . Shooting down Russian drones and missiles . So loud

“Reform has the most extreme policy on energy and climate the UK has seen since modern science on the subject began. The party opposes solar; it opposes wind; it opposes batteries… Once again: Reform is largely funded by fossil fuels” Private Eye on the anti-thought, pro-corruption threat of Reform

Reform UK wants to shut this down. If it did so, it would throw a million people out of work. Why? because it is beholden to the fossil fuel industry. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Nigel Farage is a rent boy for the wealthy. Pass it on.

Allowing vast, taxpayer-funded academy chains to entrench religious selection risks dividing communities & increasing segregation of children on grounds of faith or belief. @humanists.uk warned about this in 2021 and those fears are sadly being realised.

"Israel is committing war crimes before our eyes" - Wes Streeting, in a private message. So it turns out that government ministers were not, after all, incapable of understanding what is happening there. Just incapable of saying it in public, and of acting on that knowledge. #MorallySupine

England’s first Dutch-style “cycle street”, which gives cyclists and pedestrians priority over motorists, opened in Cambridge in a win for active travel www.positive.news/.../good-new...

Today, 4️⃣ major rail franchises are back in public hands. After years of broken privatisation, this UK Labour Government is putting passengers first. 🚆 Great Western Railway will join them on 13 December 2026, delivering the change #CardiffEast rail users deserve.

Just a reminder: there is nothing in the Broadcasting Code that requires the ‘agenda of the majority’ to be covered. That’s not what ‘due impartiality’ means at all.

Trump appeared to acknowledge the strength of Iran's negotiating team amid reports Tehran was suspending talks, remarking that the Iranians are "better negotiators than they are fighters" and calling their response "an appropriate thing to say."

References to Palantir have been redacted from the Mandelson files on the grounds that they would be "prejudicial to UK national security or international relations"

One of the most damning pieces of evidence against the idea that two states (one Israel and one sub-sovereign Palestine) would result in a comprehensive peace is the fact that Lebanon is a fully sovereign state which does not receive any protection or any recourse against Israeli aggression.

Fuel shortages in occupied regions signal logistical issues for Russians; Kremlin bans fuel exports. Source: Pravda Gerashchenko. With fuel completely gone in the occupied areas, even getting supplies to troops is a nightmare for Russia now. 1/4

They tried to make us russian. With propaganda. With fear. With war. But some things cannot be occupied. Like identity. Like memory. Like being Ukrainian.
