Why did the police refuse to investigate this? This is by any measure a more serious crime than the felling of the sycamore gap tree. The difference is that, apparently, companies are above the law.

His cabinet needs to immediately invoke the 25th amendment, get him the fuck away from any executive authority. His body is rotting at the extremities, and his brain has turned to pâté.

Regardless of whether this sociopath has been sacked, it doesn't change the fact that Reform wants to cut the safety regulations introduced after Grenfell. Bring back flammable cladding – that and children up chimneys. Just what the public is crying out for. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

the UK is set to change planning rules to make it easier to develop intensive livestock farms across the country following a lobbying campaign by Big Chicken my new investigation for the @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We need make more people aware of the damage of sea mining. I've written an article about its threats. Could you please repost them or post your own ideas to let more people stop deep sea mining? open.substack.com/pub/reedgreg... open.substack.com/pub/reedgreg...

If there was ever any doubt that the SCOTUS is an overtly political organ, this should slap people into reality. Ruling that bigots have First Amendment rights to practice conversion therapy, regardless of the rights of vulnerable LGBT+ people, is disgusting. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"More or less every US administration since then has followed this.." Helen Yaffe on the memo by Lestor Mallory in 1960 that outlined the Cuban govt had popular support & therefore the US would use economic warfare against Cuba to create "hunger, desperation & overthrow of govt"

Inside the Manosphere: is Louis Theroux just exploiting hatred? Louis Theroux's documentary does little to explain how young men are falling prey to the snake-oil salesmen of the manosphere | Ross McNally @rossmcnally.bsky.social @sussexbylines.co.uk

🔥 Now THIS is timely… Bringing together Epstein & Harrods survivors to highlight the huge legal gaps in justice for women & girls. This follows our Bylines Gazette on the topic, with a special interview with Sangita Myska. Come along to the webinar—> www.tickettailor.com/events/bylin...

Utterly depraved society.

I watched Louis Theroux's Manosphere documentary, so you don't have to. 'Theroux was not so much interested in interrogating or challenging the manosphere but rather sought to piggy-back on its shock value.' sussexbylines.co.uk/community/in...

The Government is considering scrapping the NHS-Palantir deal. Do you want Palantir out of the NHS? RT if you do. #PalantirOUT

Is @telegraph.co.uk even supposed to be read as a serious newspaper anymore, or is it intended as a satirical magazine?

'The King was delayed by around 45 minutes when bad weather forced him to switch from a helicopter to a car for his journey to Oxford'. To visit a firm building solar pvs. The idea that Charles is some sort of climate champion is palpably absurd. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

You mean this Daily Mail? Yeah, can't think why anyone would struggle to take them seriously in their concern-trolling about antisemitism.

Obviously, discussion of the Iran war has focused mostly on the humanitarian impacts. But it's also worth noting that the war, and the socioeconomic disruption that it brings to the country, could be the final nail in the coffin of the Asiatic cheetah. www.oneearth.org/can-iran-sav...

Reform continuing the long tradition of fascists appealing to landowners with agrarian populism. sussexbylines.co.uk/business/far...

So committed is Badenoch to her climate denial culture war, she's sticking her fingers in her ears and denying knowledge of how global markets work, and denying that North Sea reserves are already 93% maxed out. But doesn't she look important in her hard hat? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If you're comparing someone to Nick Fuentes because they call a genocide a genocide, you're a morally warped joke of a politician and have zero sensitivity to the base of your party. Every one of those people should lose their seat to a primary challenger. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Who made this

I saw Andy Twelves on @politicsjoe.bsky.social make the point that if you submitted such a shoddy piece of work as a PhD thesis, you'd probably be thrown off the degree. And yet Goodwin used to supervise PhDs. That right there is the suicide of a nation. www.thenerve.news/p/matt-goodw...

It's time to see past our differences and remember what connects us. When we realise where our strength lies - in each other - that's when change happens. A powerful message from @mothinali.bsky.social: youtu.be/VPsR1hfTaAA

The reason Joanna Marchong hates the NHS is that she's paid to do so by the right-wing Adam Smith Institute, which lobbies on behalf of the private healthcare industry.

Despicable. This has little to do with protecting the integrity of women's sport; in fact, it does the opposite. By excluding trans and DSD women, the IOC is continuing a long and grubby tradition of policing acceptable standards of femininity – a slippery slope.

A characteristic of the Trump administration is that they're such lazy liars that they're practically honest. Do they even WANT people to believe this shit? 1/2

If you're actively dismissive of radical economic redistribution, human rights and a just foreign policy, you're not an environmentalist, you just like gardening.

The Gaza Tribunal report has collected witness testimony, and documentary evidence from legal and human rights bodies. It details major Israeli crimes in Gaza since October 2023, and how Britain has failed in its legal duties to prevent genocide. Everyone should read it. thegazatribunal.uk

Probably an important case study in the debate over the merits of zoos and keeping large animals, particularly large carnivores, in captivity.

This would be excellent. Public transport should exist to serve the public, not line the pockets of shareholders and directors. www.theargus.co.uk/news/2596476...

The global food system is systemically fragile in the same way that the global financial system was before the 2008 crash. If it goes it down, we’re looking, as complex societies, at a potential termination event. This week's column. Please read it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This piece makes some of the important points that most mainstream coverage has failed to raise. Incidentally, I've just written something quite similar, so keep an eye on @sussexbylines.co.uk socials next week.

The issue isn't just the use of AI – although laziness like that would embarrass undergraduates. But the AI shat out a book full of fabrications, misquotes and misleading use of stats. I guess 'AI hallucination' is an apt metaphor for today's far right ideology. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

There is currently no 'responsible' way of doing deep sea mining. This deal is a betrayal of the Tongan people, who haven't been consulted and many of whose civil society groups seem opposed. It's also throwing fragile, deep seabed ecosystems under the bus. www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/environ...

The Iranian regime should hardly be taken at its word. However, it wouldn't make much sense to falsely deny responsibility; they could just claim this was retaliation after the UK authorised the US to launch strikes from Diego Garcia. Israel is clearly duplicitous enough for this. aje.news/1jszh5

Whatever the question, Labour ministers have only one response: make a stupid and obnoxious playground jibe to strawman the left. Never mind if it trivialises important issues. They're soulless goons who believe in nothing, so all they have is deflection tactics from student debating societies.

And this is an exact reminder of why we must stand against both Antisemitism and Islamophobia. The cynical forces who seek to divide our communities must never win. We will stand together.

Solidarity with those literally risking their lives to protect wildlife. It remains unclear who was responsible for this attack or what the motivation was, but this should lend us perspective here in the UK.

In some respects I'd love to live in the parallel universe that these weirdos inhabit.

Here we go again. @theguardian.com needs to stop pandering to this bullshit. sussexbylines.co.uk/news/environ...

Good suggestions, and well argued, but the selection looks rather heavy on tetrapods. The following would offer more taxonomic balance: £5 – wart biter bush cricket £10 – salmon £20 – lynx/beaver £50 – oak

Fox, toad, beaver, swift (ok, we should be representing plants and fungi too but these are damn fine bank notes!) www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is so pathetic. How fragile and insecure do you have to be to see it as a threat to your manhood to suggest that we stop destroying the planet by torturing animals? link.springer.com/article/10.1...

1/ Paul Ehrlich died this week at 93. The takes split into hagiography and dismissal. But the interesting question isn't whether he got it right, he didn't, it's why he got it wrong, and who was asking the right questions instead 🧵

As Suzanne Simard brings out a new book, and a film inspired by her "Mother Tree"/ "Wood Wide Web" hypothesis is in development, please be aware that - to use the technical jargon - it's mostly bollocks. A huge media phenomenon, running miles ahead of the science. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

He's cracking. As it becomes clearer to everyone what Reform really stands for, and what a grifting charlatan Farage is, and people look to the Greens for hope instead of Reform for hate, he knows that he's running out of road.

As somebody who has always thought Brexit was a ridiculous act of national self-harm, I also think this is one of the most politically idiotic ideas Labour could possibly adopt. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
