Nelson's Victory crew included a Brazilian and a Russian, 2 Indians, 2 Swiss, 2 Portuguese, 3 Danes and 3 Norwegian sailors. There were 3 Germans, 4 Italians, 6 Swedes, 7 Dutchmen, 9 West Indians and an African, as well as 21 Americans, 63 Irish, 64 Scots, 441 English.... oh, and 3 French men, too.

No fucking shit. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

The data shows Brexit was a massive mistake and badly hurt the economy. We're all paying for it. It was Nigel Farage who sold the lies that it would make life better. How can anyone still listen to him about anything?

Rustaveli Avenue now, after several days of mass arrests, threats, and disappointments. Georgians are not giving up. Day 328 of uninterrupted protests.

This photo accompanying a news story about the heist at the Louvre is perfection.

Ah! Good morning, reality. And welcome. We’ve been expecting you…

#NoKings Miami!

Reform candidate visibly squirms as he's confronted by a local family in Caerphilly.

They lie about the ECHR. Just like they lied about Brexit. Claiming if we just got rid of that ‘European’ thing, we’d be free, we’d have control, all our problems solved… It’s NOT TRUE. We’d inflict more chaos on ourselves and torch our own human rights framework for NOTHING. For liars. Again.

Between 2019 and 2024 in real terms EU exports grew by 11%. UK exports also grew. By 0.89%. That's the total. Goods exports were lower in real terms in 2024 than in 2014.

Drones are redefining warfare. Having drone defences is no longer optional. Our target is to have functional anti-drone defences by the end of 2027. My doorstep ahead of the Foreign Affairs Council on Defence ↓

#Farage - the party leader most people blame for #BrexitShambles - as a @yorkshirepost.co.uk letter notes. Brexiters keep trying (and failing) to present our #EuropeanUnion departure as a success. Just making stuff up again? #RejoinEU

Maybe we should stop listening to those who say decarbonisation will be too disruptive and expensive And start listening to the experts warning that inaction will be much, much worse

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly. I wonder how they got to this editorial decision? Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again. join.greenparty.org.uk

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch. Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

BBC Radio 4's World at One is currently platforming far-right columnist and Reform member Tim Montgomerie, for his views - and his views alone - on the political conference season.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?” “Because that’s what they are” @vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference. #Newsnight

Leaving the European Convention on Human Rights would be an act of self-sabotage, not independence, because the convention was forged from British ideals of justice and human dignity, written by our own lawyers in the ruins of war, to ensure that tyranny could never again take hold in Europe.

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead. This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

A BBC spokesperson now says they will offer to interview Zack Polanski on the Laura Kuenssberg show "in the coming weeks" after cancelling their planned interview with him during the Green Party conference. Requests for an interview following his election as Green leader were also denied

#Trump is a laughing stock

Starmer on the “Farage boats”, Rachel Reeves on the economic benefits of youth mobility… Are the Labour leadership starting to poke their heads out of their shells and dare to see a pro-EU pathway as a route both to fixing our woes and also attacking Farage’s Achilles’ heel? Let’s hope so.

Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him. Farage last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership." SHARE!

A Labour MP has blamed Brexit for Rachel Reeves’ tax-hiking Budget last October. Andrew Lewin said leaving the EU has left Britain £40bn poorer per year, adding that “were we still members… there would not have been a single tax rise” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

“Safety and space at risk as SUVs reach 30% of car market in English cities, researchers warn. Campaigners call for Paris-style parking charges amid fears big vehicles are taking up excessive public space.” Cities need smart strategies to manage vehicle size. NOT bigger parking space requirements.

Miliband on Elon Musk: "He incites violence on our streets, calls for the overthrow of our elected government, is an enabler of disinformation through X, thinks he can tell us how to run Britain... ...Get the hell out of our politics & our country!" So: will the UK govnt leave X? shorturl.at/8PHop

"I hope Starmer wakes up tomorrow morning and feels ashamed about what he has done," says man who unveiled this poster the day Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right terrorist.

Weird how The Times had Farage's "shocked" reaction to Starmer's speech published before Starmer's speech.

Andy Burnham on why he’s for rejoining the EU… …and why we need to call out Reform on Brexit. 👏👏👏👏

“Let’s ask the public what is important to them. Let’s ask experts on different systems in different countries. That’s why I think a National Commission on Electoral Reform is the way to go. It brings it back to how our democracy works.” 💬 @lizzicollinge.bsky.social 🌹 #Labour4PR #Lab25

To no-ones surprise at all: Nigel Farage doesn't want to share his tax return - despite Starmer, Reeves and Sunak all having done so. What is he hiding? https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/over-50000-sign-petition-urging-nigel-farage-to-release-tax-returns-397837/

"Until the end!" Day 287 of daily, nationwide protests in Georgia. Heading towards Rustaveli Avenue. 🇬🇪

Are rivers 'living entities?" David Clayden, Action Group chair for the River Nidd, overlooked by King John's 900 year old Knaresborough Castle, makes this point on BBC's 'Countryfile' (available on the BBC iPlayer in the UK).

Too many drones to call it an accident. Putin is doing what had to be expected. A tentative attack on a NATO country to test out what happens.
