TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

This is NOT FUNNY AT ALL (giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...).

Reposting so I can find this again, my buttonholes are usually awful.

If your first reaction to someone having their legs run over by an ICE vehicle is “was he here illegally” then you’ve completely lost your moral compass The same goes for asking what the “whole story” is There’s nothing a person could do to justify running them over with a car.

'Britain becomes world’s largest economy to end new oil and gas exploration' Feels like this should have been bigger news... www.greenpeace.org.uk/news/britain...

Yes please 🙏

I feel very strongly that we should make the following words a mantra that we repeat every time we comment on RefUk's shenanigans. It needs to sink into the public consciousness: 'Decent people don't vote reform.' Pass it on.

How many hospitalised patients will it take before the Government declares an emergency, stops blaming striking doctors & starts giving sensible advice on how to stop the spread of airborne infectious diseases?

Last week, Amnesty International released a detailed statement documenting that “Israeli authorities are still committing genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip, by continuing to deliberately inflict conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction.”

Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire. Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines. Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.

Yes!

1/3 **MAYORAL ELECTIONS DELAYED TIL 2028!** Labour: incompetent, scared & zero regard for democracy. The devolution agenda they sprung on us a year ago is in utter chaos, they are terrified of their plummeting in the polls, and - most importantly...

RFK has been listening to conspiracy theories for a long time. He is killing people

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders. What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Really valuable and honest piece by friend and comrade @nikeshshukla.bsky.social about the anti-immigration protests at hotels this year. There's a danger in trying to "understand" someone's hate if it's based on the faulty assumption that there's anything to understand in the first place.

Hope is here. Help us beat Reform in May. Donate today ⤵️

"We can judge Farage not just by the words he, allegedly, shouted as a child, but by the words and actions he has chosen as an adult." Zack Polanski on why Farage should be judged on his record as a politician which has seen him echo conspiracy and language of the far right.

- A 100,000 drop in net migration costs us £7bn - Scrapping the two-child benefit cap costs us £3bn What gets more attention? James O’Brien says 'we have become a ludicrous country'.

Powerful morning of gut-punching presentations on true gravity of #climate & nature emergency from leading scientists speaking at packed #nationalemergencybriefing. Overwhelmingly clear we can only make the necessary green transition if social justice & equity are at its heart

If you read one thing today, make it The Bear’s withering dismantling of Reform UK’s “budget” with the precision of someone who understands numbers… unlike the people who wrote it. A a masterclass in calm annihilation that's ruthlessly savage. 🔥 @eastangliabylines.co.uk @bearlypolitics.co.uk

What’s more expensive: investing in renewables, or dealing with the £38 trillion annual cost of unchecked climate damage? The numbers in this piece are… sobering ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk

Turns out the media & most of Parliament is as out of touch with reality as Twitter. Dear England.

Nish Kumar, "I think Shabana Mahmood's plan is insane" #HIGNFY "All we ever talk about in this country is immigration" "Meanwhile we have people paying too much on bills, a climate crisis, I think we now have to reframe everything through the prism of immigration"

A great investigative piece by @translucent.org.uk brilliant work. translucent.org.uk/how-many-com...

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage. www.thetimes.com/article/1b15...

If Shabana Mahmood wants to talk about what's 'tearing Britain apart', let's start with billionaire tax evasion, the cost of living crisis, overflowing prisons, sewage spilling into rivers and streets full of people sleeping rough. #costoflivingcrisis #UKNOW
