The documents Trump cited don't even make his case - and actually refute much of it. But that didn'tg matter. No foreign regime, no spies, no saboteurs have yet matched the damage that America’s own president just did tonight to faith in U.S. elections. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Let’s be clear, Donald Trump is not a president. He is a criminal who has seized control of the machinery of government. He is the enemy of the United States. His enablers are the enemies of the United States. To serve him is treason.

Hot day? Head here. More trees. More planting. New wetlands. Grosvenor Square is reopening on Monday 20 July to cool London. Better for your summer, our city’s climate resilience, and the West End.

We just had a meeting with over 700 (!!) of our members and OVERWHELMINGLY voted in favour of a motion to calling for a strike ballot! 🩷 We're doing this together. We are the University! #DefendExeterUni.

We are against these unjustified, cruel and ideologically founded attacks on our University. Exeter is not in financial deficit and the 153 job losses are overwhelmingly directed at the humanities and social sciences. Please sign, share and shout #DefendExeterUni: www.change.org/p/stop-redun...

Stop Redundancies at the University of Exeter - Sign the Petition! c.org/FGHGHDQ9zs via @UKChange Draconian steps. Entirely unnecessary since the university has cash reserves of ~150 million and has had budget surplusses in almost every year the last decade #DefendExeterUni

Follow @exeterucu.bsky.social for the latest on the dispute. The callous resizing of Exeter’s flagship HASS offering through compulsory redundancy is utterly unnecessary. Without intervention and collective action, HE provision in Cornwall will be decimated, and STEM will be next #defendexeteruni

Exeter is a great university, so what on earth is its management doing? Meanwhile, the government needs to get a grip: It's cut real term funding per student by 35% in the last decade, while doing its best to lose lucrative income from international students. #DefendExeterUni

We are ‘at risk’. Not just me, not just my wonderful colleagues in History, and not just the world-class community of teachers and researchers across the University of Exeter, but all of us who value the humanities. You can support us here: c.org/2cSZVFyhNF #defendexeteruni

Saying: “I don’t like the mainstream political parties so I’m going to vote Reform” Is like… Saying: “I don’t like this burger so I’m going to eat a toxic waste tip instead.” Does anyone understand this logic?

Nearly 1 in 6 UK species are threatened with extinction. We've lost 97% of our wildflower meadows since the 1930s. We have 73 million fewer birds than in the 1970s - a decline of almost a third. And yet some politicians still just see wildlife as a blocker to progress.

The war in Iran has already cost $22.8 billion. For $22.8 billion, we could: • Provide Medicaid to 6.8 million kids • Build 2.6 million public housing units • Fund Head Start for 1.3 million • Hire 240,000 teachers • Cancel $20,000 in student debt for 1 million borrowers
