From the UK government: Global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security A national security assessment #climatechange #climatecrisis assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/696e0eae…

we hear so much about trans people from the British press yet so rarely hear from them - I'm really pleased this piece was commissioned, and will also be in the physical paper: www.thenewworld.co.uk/marie-le-con...

Jennings: Let's not get our knickers in a twist here McGowan: Why are you talking like that? It's insane. Your attitude is just horrifying…

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

More than half of Greenland's capital turnout to protest Donald Trump's planned invasion.

Farage fawned over Trump for a decade. Begged to sit at his dining table and ride in his gold lift. Played the presidential tribute to him as his LBC intro. Said he'd be great for Brexit. Trump’s reign was never in Britain's interests. But Farage didn't care because it flattered his fragile ego.

This is a truly horrifying account of increasingly likely collapse of essential natural systems which would bring mass food shortages, price rises & global disorder. Commissioned from UK intelligence chiefs but scandalously suppressed by Govt, & sneaked out now while attention is elsewhere 👇

@allshorts.bsky.social @richardknott.bsky.social x.com/GlobalMktObs... Danish pension fund AkademikerPension said it will sell all Treasuries by month-end, citing "rising credit risk" under President Trump. European countries own $3.6 TRILLION in Treasuries, or 40% of all foreign holdings.

Trump amplifies post that says NATO — not China or Russia — is part of the “real threat” to America.

I want every Londoner to know that from April 2026, your rights at work are changing with improvements to sick pay, parental leave and strengthened worker protections. Stay informed with my online Employment Rights Hub. www.london.gov.uk/programmes-s...

Britain is underprepared for this crisis ft.trib.al/7banVNy

A year ago today, Boris Johnson, Farage, Braverman, Truss, and a host of Trump’s British fans were all in Washington for Trump’s second inauguration... Starmer wasn't invited - and it was treated like a massive Diss - remember that? Because we should.

If you make good EVs. People will buy them. Renault’s electric car sales have been particularly buoyant, with 151k sales representing a 72.2 per cent increase over 2024. Renault 5 Renault 4 www.autoexpress.co.uk/renault/3687...

I found out today that one of the forces pushing Trump the hardest for this Greenland shit is… the owner of Estée Lauder. Sharing this here because they own SO MANY makeup brands and I bet a lot of you might like to join me in not repurchasing anything from this makeup brand family!

Rupert Lowe has been wanging on about making public signs exclusively English again, and got owned into next year – 17 easily understandable takedowns. www.thepoke.com/2026/01/20/r...

The government will consult on whether social media should be banned for under-16s in the UK. Technology Secretary Liz Kendall speaks to #BBCBreakfast

US EV Sales Drop 2% in 2025, But Up 162% Compared to 2021 cleantechnica.com/2026/01/18/u...

Jeez Q: “Have you invited Putin to be a member of the Board of Peace?” Trump: “Yeah. He's been invited” On Macron saying he will not join the Board of Peace Trump: “Nobody wants him.. If they feel hostile, I’ll put a 200% tariff on his wines and champagnes & he’ll join”

Coal use dropped in China and India in 2025. It rose in USA, hiking energy costs.

Even in extreme cold, EVs outperform diesel AND save drivers money

Open source's new mission: Rebuild a continent's tech stack

The consultation will explore range of options 📱whether to introduce social media age limit 📱how to enforce it 📱stopping tech firms accessing young users’ data 📱limiting addictive tools such as “infinite scrolling”. Govt also expects every school to be mobile phones free, with Ofsted now inspecting

This is really the crux of the problem. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Me! me! me! The madman in the White House, that 77 million 🇺🇸 citizens actually chose TWICE, complains that because he hasn’t been given a Nobel Peace Prize he’s going to go to war…. As if he hasn’t already. Absolutely barking but dangerous.

Tragic 'reporting' from UK sort of news outlet, Birmingham Live. Apparently electric cars are over and drivers are 'at risk.' Forget EVs, just keep driving diesel. llewellyn.substack.com/p/the-relent...

@allshorts.bsky.social @eslibrarian.bsky.social

A man who actually won the prize, and deserved it.

Right - pretext to invoke the insurrection act: when local law enforcement fails to uphold the law, or local officials impede it.

Today, as we see ICE fascists target brown and Black people, beat, arrest, and kill them, deny due process of law, & we see centrist politicians respond with calls for "more training" (instead of the right answer to abolish ICE) — we remember when Dr. King, warned us about the "white moderate."

Us products vs Eu products

Just posting here so I can paste for confused folks. Carney's deal provides favored trading status for China and reduces the EV tariffs from 100% to ~6% on up to 49k units. That number slowly rises to 70k in 2030. Affordable (<$35k CAD) is capped, and will rise to 50% in 2030...

For those who aren't aware, Google's AI summary chatbot Gemini is programmed to refuse to acknowledge that Joe Biden won the 2020 election. Compare the two cases:

Andrew Neil, "Under Trump, America is on the brink of becoming the enemy, not our most important ally" "For all my life Russia has tried to decouple Europe from America and break the north Atlantic alliance, it never succeeded" "Success is staring the Kremlin in the face, all thanks to Trump"

Got to love that 6 months ago Robert Jenrick was disgusted at Reform UK for fielding poorly vetted candidates.

The Ed Miliband hate-fest in the UK press continued last year. Predominantly right-wing newspapers published an incredible 112 editorials attacking the energy secretary. That's two editorials a week, and more than twice as many as 2024, calling him a "crazed" "zealot" suffering with “eco insanity”

They haven’t bothered linking to the actual data because it would show the theft offences are just 304 in total, sexual offences 225, violence 900 (they’ve made up the % completely), all out of a population of 5.9 million that hold non-British passports.

Didn’t believe this was true but have checked and am told it was sent to the Norwegian government yesterday.

I’m not sure people outside the Twin Cites realize the prevalence and the fear ICE is causing in Twin Cities. They are dining undercover pretending to be couples at restaurants, they are going to businesses and checking the license plates of cars to find employees. Every public place is compromised.

An ambitious form of climate modelling aims to pin the blame for disasters – from floods to heatwaves – on specific companies. Is this the tool we need to effectively prosecute the world’s biggest carbon emitters?

Definitive proof that Trump works for Putin: France and Ukraine provided the Trump regime with false classified intelligence, just to see if he would pass it on to Putin. Trump did send it Putin. Now no further intelligence will be provided to the US by any European nation.

The EU’s top diplomats met for crisis talks on Sunday and discussed reviving a plan to levy tariffs on €93bn of US goods, which was suspended after last summer’s trade deal with Trump. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Good morning, Asia. While you were sleeping, our most-read story was on how European leaders are bidding to find a compromise that would avoid a deep rupture in the western military alliance. ft.trib.al/ZGAUWQ3
