Engaging in regular moderate-intensity physical activity mitigates multiple hallmarks of biological aging.

Protest is not a privilege – it’s our fundamental right. But the Government’s Crime and Policing Bill will give police powers to shut down protests and criminalise people for taking to the streets. JOIN US in opposing this: https://secure.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/page/180398/action/1

“Ageing begins in silence. Perhaps healing can too.”

There's a powerful illustration here regarding "influencers" vs. "experts".

How to avoid home heater scams.

This year Nigel Farage’s Reform UK Party became the first to accept untraceable donations through crypto. He recently accepted the biggest donation in UK political history from a cryptocurrency investor of £9 MILLION. This isn’t about one party...

This is obscene. Why can't other politicians say that? The 25 richest families are collectively $358.7 billion richer than a year ago, with a combined fortune totaling $2.9 trillion.

Many on Universal Credit are being bureaucratically blocked from switching bank account. I've today written to Sec of State for Work & Pensions to request he investigate changing what seems an unintended effect of a poorly designed system. Letter here www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2025/12...

Christmas, innit. How about we get some things for women and children with nothing who are escaping domestic violence? You can do that, as ever, via the brilliant Refuge. Check this out: donate.refuge.org.uk/page/180196/...

To be fair it’s going to be very funny when these clowns invent AGI and the super intelligent machine tells everyone to get offline, avoid processed food, stroll in the woods, seek community, eschew racism, pay high marginal rates of tax and ignore the ravings of deranged billionaires.

Innocent people end up in our criminal courts. Completely, terrifyingly innocent. And all that stands between them and losing everything is a fair trial. Politicians would do well to remember this when they tell us that justice is all about processing “criminals” swiftly.

The FIFA Peace prize makes as much sense as a NFL neuroscience prize would.

I'm old enough to remember when Gordon Brown was forced to apologise to a woman for calling her a bigot. The very least we should expect is that Nigel Farage apologises for being one.

Deep sea miners thought it would be easy to start mining the Arctic seafloor… 🤨 But thanks to campaigning, Norway has just halted all deep sea mining development! Wherever this industry tries to start, it fails. We can protect the oceans from extraction 💪 www.greenpeace.org/internationa...

1. It's been A Year, hasn't it? Maybe this time we should start with something delightful and calming. In that spirit, here's Max Bruch's lovely lullaby, 'Wiegenlied der Hirten', cradle-song of the shepherds, as sung incredibly sweetly by the Gächinger Kantorei. youtu.be/FqFwp_NiKAs?...

Sovereignty? Democracy? Sorry, but we can't afford those anymore. We'll be sued if we try to defend them. This week's column is about a massive but scarcely-covered scandal. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Government’s last chance to keep control of digital Digital sovereignty isn’t optional anymore. We sold our water to foreign billionaires. Now we’re handing them our health data By Philip O'Brien

239 years ago, on the 30th of November 1786, the Grand Duchy of Tuscany became the first modern state to abolish the death penalty. Grand Duke Leopold I, who was influenced in the decision by the book 'On Crimes and Punishments', would later become Holy Roman Emperor Leopold II. #otd #history 🗃️

Christmas at the BBC

“Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history.” Come sue me, you fat orange cunt.

What a lovely story.

David Lammy was right in 2020 when he called the jury system fundamental to our constitution. Now the government wants to remove juries from all but the most serious cases. It is dangerous and wrong and the Prime Minister must reverse it.

This is how it’s done, U.S. negotiators. Learn from other strong leaders how to deal with criminal aggressors.

Income inequality is higher in the US today than it was in 1774, even if you factor in slavery.

Donald Trump expects Ukrainians to be ‘grateful’ as he prepares a carve-up of the country with Putin. We can’t let that happen - Starmer must work with our European allies to stop this stitch-up in its tracks.

It is that time of the year when we launch the T-Towel. And here it is. This beauty is now on the website’s store. Enjoy! markthomasinfo.co.uk/store/
