Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

This is an unforgivably stupid situation. It is an astonishing own goal to try and drive student numbers down to move an immigration number that in turn is totally ignored by the anti-immigrant head bangers.

Where does a Burnham led Labour gain votes from, the biggest group who switch are those currently voting Green, but also those who have moved from Labour to Don't know - also disillusioned progressives.

Lots of low key terrifying stats in the Climate Change Committee's new report on climate adaptation, but this one is particularly eye catching. If you are not worried about food security in an era of spiralling temperatures you are not paying attention. www.businessgreen.com/news-analysi...

'Only on Tuesday [the UK] signed a G7 statement reaffirming its "unwavering commitment" to impose "severe costs" on Russia.' That word. "unwavering". I do not think it means what they think it means.

Here we go again... Massive 5920 gpm upper-level ridge is being forecast to park over western Europe in the weekend. The 500-hPa heights will exceed ERA5 May climatology by several meters, indicating a potential for an intense and locally even record-breaking early-season heatwave.

And the northern hemisphere summer hasn’t got going yet:

This almost reads like performance art

“[The Trump admin] don't like the European Union ... but we need to understand why they don't like the EU; why China doesn't like the EU, why Russia doesn't. It is because if we stick together, if we operate together, then we are equal powers, we are strong.” www.politico.eu/article/us-c...

Sneaking a giant screen into the flagshagger march is one of the funniest things @ledbydonkeys.org have ever done. "STAY HYDRATED" 😂🤣😂

Wes Streeting launches Labour leadership bid with call to rejoin the European Union. Calls Brexit a 'catastrophic mistake' www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

"In the same post he also wrote "do I really wanna do this?" saying the role involved "endless boring meetings" and "the pay is so poor for all u do"." Reform UK not up for it? That's a surprise... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwy2528e248o

For years, the biggest criticism of renewables was simple: “What happens when the sun isn’t shining?” The answer is increasingly: battery storage. 24/7 solar power is no longer theoretical. In some places, it is becoming economic reality.

📊 Recent polling from Best for Britain says more than half of Britons now support rejoining the EU. More than 80 per cent of Labour, Liberal Democrat and Green party supporters favour that move.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

BREAKING - Parliamentary Standards Commissioner will launch an investigation into Farage's £5m donation.

Est-ce que cela ressemble à une victoire écrasante de Reform ? Pourquoi un Premier ministre devrait-il démissionner pour ça ? On présente cela comme une défaite cuisante, mais c'est n'importe quoi. C'est uniquement parce que les médias de droite et Reform le veulent aussi. Rien d'autre !!

Reform UK Resigned, lost seat, sacked. Since the local elections 2026 Lost Seat Mike Morris Clarence Mitchell Resigned Daniel Devaney Stuart Prior Jay Cooper Suspended Ashley Monk Jo Monk Ben Rowe #ReformShitshow

Free from the oppressive EU sovereign British farmers, fishermen & hauliers will not get up to 70% (with a max of €50, 000) in subsidiies to cover the extra cost of fuel & fertilizers caused by the Iran war. This is a huge Brexit win. Wave your Union flags!

Frustrated with the election pundits talking as if votes only 'swing' from one party to another. I did some analysis of the results, and my modelling (based on votes only, not polls) suggests that the largest movement since 2024 local elections (by a long way) is from 'Did Not Vote' -> Reform

If you now have a Reform Councillor Find out how good a job they'll be doing Be polite, and only notify them of a genuine problem I'm sure there's a backlog of a host of local issues that need addressing ... ps do remember that stopping the boats is not within their power! meme via Angel Stroyan

Well folks, never think your vote doesn’t count. In Haringey’s Woodside ward, Green councillor Hayley Jukes lost by 3 votes. If she’d have won, the greens would have had 39 councillors and a majority. Obviously a lot at play but an interesting example! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Ha...

Here’s a poem called ‘Life of a Naturalist’.

There just isn’t enough space here. So all I can say is Happy 100th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough, quite easily the Greatest Living Human Being Ever, Past & Present.

I'm delighted that we will now have the opportunity to run even more councils and prove beyond doubt what a bunch of incompetent numbskulls we are.

“One of these things is not like the others…”Incidentally made famous by Sesame Street, but it feels appropriate for this visual. This shows the rate of global temperature change over the past 2000 years - in 25 year increments. The rate of change over the past 50 years just jumps off the page!… 1/
