Time for the world to #BoycottUSA

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski: “The European Union’s economy is nine to ten times larger than Russia’s. “We fought Russia successfully before the United States even existed — so we should be capable of doing it today.”

Nigel Farage saying he will do exactly what Putin wants him to do! If they are given the chance, Reform will betray our Ukrainian allies. #Farage #Reform #Putin #Russia #Ukraine

Shocking

Digging for Britain is back on our screens on BBC Two at 9pm tonight! Two @Nationaltrust.org.uk properties feature in this series - Woolsthorpe Manor, Lincolnshire (Ep. 5, 4th February) and St Michael's Mount, Cornwall (Ep. 6, 5th February). All episodes are also on BBC iPlayer: bit.ly/4qv9H9o

American deaths protecting Greenland : 0. Danish deaths supporting USA in Afghanistan and Iraq: 52. More lies from scumbags.

Trump doesn’t care how ridiculous his lies are

Expert US investor Warren Buffett backs Europe for long term growth. This is exactly the opposite of course from the Russian and right wing propaganda flooding the media. Propaganda is lies.

This finding of "hidden" public support for green policies strongly echoes our work on pluralistic ignorance when it comes to non-car travel: most people support non-car travel more than car travel, but at the same time they believe this is a minority view

Undermining real science with carefully targeted propaganda (lies).

I have been saying this for some time to students seeking career advice: the energy sector is one of the most exciting places to work with a huge transformation taking place right now. Electrification is a game changer and means a redesign of our energy system as we know it.

Andrew Husband, (aka Andrew Tennant) Durham Reform council leader behind a “Doge”-style war on public spending is the owner of two companies which have been placed into administration owing £1.5 million, including more than £500,000 in tax, government-backed Covid loans, and staff pay. Well.

I'm running the 2026 TCS London Marathon dressed as a badger to raise money for Norfolk Wildlife Trust, the oldest of @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social – celebrating its 100th birthday this year. Please have a laugh at me and help save wildlife! 2026tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/backtheba...

The French far right as always been, in part, motivated by anti-Americanism. Le Pen and Bardella have had notably cooler relations with MAGA than, say, Farage or the AfD. (Despite the US alt-right being v influence by French far right thinkers).

and political donations …

“Here we have a serious problem: America is addicted to oil.” — President George W. Bush, State of the Union, January 31, 2006

The story of Europe’s economic decline while US is 'soaring' is everywhere. But it is wrong. It is a myth. Europe delivers more leisure, longer life expectancy, less inequality than the US. Gabriel Zucman dismantles the myths.

Europe is not falling behind the USA, writes Gabriel Zucman. It is choosing a different – and arguably superior – development model. We should stop apologising for it. eastangliabylines.co.uk/business/eco...

A good few people got to see the Kingfishers today. I got a nice view of the young male for a change 😉 #Ramsgate #winter #wildlife

One of the first things a Farage government will do will be to make sure "the young are taught correctly about our history," and if that doesn't set off all manner of alarm bells then it should. (MAIL)

Nigel Farage says allegations he said "Hitler was right" while a pupil at Dulwich College and "gas 'em all" to Jewish schoolmates are "maybe solidifying our core support". Which is quite a revealing comment.

Which is why he doesn’t deny them. He knows his base.

Good from Sadiq, used the symbol to reflect how the Europe’s 🇪🇺 team beat the US 🇺🇸 team at golf, with Trump being trolled by the Europe’s golfers 👍

Joining the EU has been a magic ticket to prosperity for former Russian satellite states. Bulgaria is now going vertical. This will happen for Ukraine, and it's Putin's nightmare. Ukraine’s resources, size, brainpower and location assure it will make even Poland's success small on comparison.

Call it “mutual” and suddenly people get it.

Cash for pardons?

Greetings from Kyiv, where generators are singing, St Nicholas drives by, and snow is falling. I love our spirit. May the world see it.

Central Canterbury, another very close encounter with no camouflage. The fine feather detail is incredible. #kingfisher #birds @rspb.bsky.social @rspbengland.bsky.social @kentwildlife.bsky.social @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social

As temperatures drop, if you see somebody you think may be sleeping rough or need help yourself, local district councils are there to help or contact 🌐: thestreetlink.org.uk Use specific details incl. an exact location so they can direct help quickly.

I've written an end of year substack post about tracking Trump, where we are ending the year and some implications for Europe and for me personally... christinapagel.substack.com/p/personal-r...

Relative independence 😂 yes because the hereditary peers have a real cross section of party affiliation and have no *quite literal* landed interest whatsoever. Risible stuff.

"He revelled in the fact that his initials were the same as those of the National Front..." www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Farage “revelled in the fact that his initials were the same as those of the National Front" The school chaplain disagreed with Emms’ opinion that such pupils “don’t really mean” it. “On the contrary, in his experience views of that kind expressed by boys of that age are deep-seated and are meant”

Chloe Deakin, the teacher who wrote to David Emms (the Dulwich College headmaster who failed to meet his own standards) about Farage’s vile conduct to pupils in the school), speaks on the record here. www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Report: Nation's Wealthy Cruelly Deprived Of True Meaning Of Christmas

Apparently not a fake.

🎄 Season’s greetings from all of us at Kent Wildlife Trust 🎄 Thank you for your incredible support for Kent’s wildlife this year. Wishing you a peaceful festive period and a nature-filled year ahead!

Happy Christmas

The US is not our friend.

Beyond parody and beyond fiction. Europe has to stand up to this foreign interference. This cannot be smooth away.
