Here's someone who makes a big, bold and very popular promise, then actually delivers it. Why do other supposedly-leftwing administrations find this so hard? (Actually, that's a rhetorical question: they deliver for their funders and the rest of the oligarch class, ahead of their voters).

This week feels like armageddon. And it's only going to get hotter. And no I can't be cheerful. We have to f ing do something, do everything we can to slow this down. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Great Dartmoor Pony Cull Conspiracy of 2026 is such horseshit. Nobody is proposing a cull, FFS! Currently being whipped up on Musk's hellsite by the Leader of the Opposition, who clearly has nothing better to do. Reality: www.dartmoornature.org.uk/post/ponies-...

A war crime and also strategic nonsense. Millions of Iranians are short of water — and the entire region depends on desalinization facilities that Iran could destroy. If we strike water facilities and they respond in kind elsewhere millions of lives are at risk. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/w...

A bunch of US Far Right influencers, including Candace Owens, are currently in Russia at Putin’s expense. They’re all saying what a wonderful Christian country Russia is and how it should be a friend and ally.

BBC Question Time now doing exact same with AI they did with Farage? This ‘expert’ panel on AI is a disgrace: not one critical voice. Gilbert works for Tony Blair to promote AI. Jones is govt chief AI booster (& Blair flunky). Riparbelli is industry. Gawdat is ex industry. And a Tory MP

Not a single mention of the climate crisis anywhere. You would think extreme weather conditions would be a good opportunity to educate the public, but clearly not.

Looks like one of those terrifying 2050 #climate projection graphics, but no, that’s a short-term forecast for France until… May 29th.
