Under a mechanism known as the Dublin Convention, the British government could previously ask fellow EU nations to take people back if they had passed through safe countries en route to the UK -that ended with Brexit & no alternative was agreed making it far more difficult to return any new arrivals

I had the opportunity to confront Pete Hegseth's bigoted spiritual mentor, Pastor Doug Wilson, and call him out on his history of hate, his misreading of the Bible, his hijacking of Jesus, and his cosplay Crusading. It was worth it.

I’ve known Lebanon for three decades. What’s happening now is an invasion. This is Gaza 2.0 – and the world is barely paying attention. @CaroleCadwalladr for the Nerve Link 🔽

How much would it cost to bring water into public ownership? The government wants you to believe it's too expensive to do. But that's what happens when you swallow the water industry's 💩. If you want parliament to debate water properly, sign this petition. vist.ly/4xtt8

Brutal.

Not a single lie was told here:

The last 24 hours have shown what many have said for a long time. Britain's role as an accomplice to Trump's America must end. We must urgently decouple from a rogue US & seek security with allies closer to home. That starts with suspension of the US bombers on British soil.

Video shows raven imitating ‘obnoxious’ human sneeze at B.C. rescue This is hilarious! 😆

Another awful charlatan who must never get near the top job. Wake up Europe - America is not our friend JD Vance accuses EU of ‘interference’ as he visits Hungary to help Orbán win election www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

The UK must immediately and unequivocally suspend support for the US military. The Government have tried to appease him, then they tried to say they're standing up to him. Words aren't enough - it's time for action.

A madman has control of the most powerful military in the history of the world and the leaders of his party are too afraid to say or do anything to stop him.

You can be opposed to the Iranian regime AND the reckless bombing of school kids. You can support the troops AND be opposed to sending them into senseless wars. You are not an antisemite if you decry the Israeli regime’s genocidal rampage. Don’t let morons impose their idiotic view of the world.

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

An absolutely shocking story in two parts and outstanding journalism to boot. Part one www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/a-london-law...

What a shocking waste of opportunity this government has proved to be. It has squandered its time and attention on ridiculous fiscal rules, persecuting refugees and trashing ecosystems in the name of growth, while failing to deliver what we so desperately want. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Watching Labour MPs take a wrecking ball to nature makes me so angry & so sad. Their action tonight voting down amendments to the #PlanningBill intended to protect wildlife & habitats from destruction is so reckless & so counterproductive. People didn’t vote Labour for this 👇

It takes an obscene amount of hubris to lecture the BBC when you have The Telegraph’s record on truth-telling. Some of the paper’s errors this year are so bad they’re almost laughable 👇🏻

@zackpolanski.bsky.social @greenparty.org.uk

Today's column is about the government's huge, unprecedented assault on nature ... and about the eerie, astonishing silence of the big nature groups. The RSPB, National Trust, Wildlife Trusts have 7.5m members between them. A vast force, completely unmobilised. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

In June 2024, 80,000 of us marched peacefully to #RestoreNatureNow with hardly a mention in the media. Were we supposed to have thrown stones and fought the police to be noticed? www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Since this is apparently a resigning matter, I’ll just leave this here… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Farage dodged parliament, went to the US, slagged off the UK, lied to Congress, grifted for donations and hoped to persuade the US to punish us for the Online Safety Act. And got his arse handed back to him. You’d think our ‘patriotic’ media would go nuts. But no. Some quiet mumbling. Beyond feeble.

This is why I stay on social media.

The plunder of our seas by industrial fishing is a monstrosity in which almost everyone unwittingly collaborates. For decades this truth has been deliberately hidden from us. Now at last the consensus is cracking. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If any country that actually cared about nature had only 1% natural woodland left, it would be paying farmers to keep their sheep OUT. But in Ireland, they're paid to do the exact opposite, ensuring last remnants are eaten to death. This is how much we care.
