Very impressive from @dpcarrington.bsky.social at the guardian - zero mention of Brexit at all. Also never mentioned that the Common Market and Common Agricultural Policy were established to provide food security and environmental protection in Europe. Maybe that's why there are no empty shelves.🇪🇺

Activists from the anti-billionaire campaign group "Everyone Hates Elon" went to the Louvre museum in Paris where they hung a framed photograph of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, taken by Reuters photographer Phil Noble on February 19.

A tariff that expires in 150 days isn’t a long-run industrial policy. Firms invest on multi-year horizons. If the policy is temporary, the investment response will be, too: mostly none. (This was recorded when the tariff rate was 10%; it's now 15%.)

India touts its demographic dividend and tech ambition, but the education and research system still runs on outdated 20th-century structures. Without modernizing STEM education and research infrastructure, that innovation promise remains a dream, not reality.

Bloody Beaker people, coming over here in 2400BC… Britain is an immigrant island. Has been for thousands of years. It's the source of its energy, its vitality, its greatness. @newscientist.com

I've just told my publishers to remove the Daily Mail quote they were going to put on the cover of the paperback of my latest novel. I don't care if the Daily Mail gave it a good review. The name of that shitrag is not going on the cover of my book.

Donald Trump's unhinged 24 hours as he gives deeply weird response to Andrew arrest www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Donald Trump is on his way to Georgia, where he'll give a speech about the cost of living.

UK: Prince Andrew arrested. South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life. Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence. USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

Nearly 100k people have joined our call to get dangerous US spy tech firm out of our NHS. Palantir's founder has called for the NHS to be ripped up. Now his company has access to millions of patient records. Tell the government to end the contract! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Are the rats deserting HMS Great Britain 🤔 The heir apparent, moving his personal company to foreign shores. How much hope can we put in Farage doing the same with himself, permanently.

Also in this Reform UK story, how man-of-the-people Nigel Farage has moved his personal company to Candy’s offshore-owned Mayfair office. @privateeyenews.bsky.social

In 2024, Scotland exported £7.14 billion worth of food & drink, equivalent to £1288 per person. By contrast, England exported £12.12bn, £207 per person. Scotland’s food and drink exports per head are more than six times England’s, and on a par with France. www.thenational.scot/news/2585468...

Wee thought for the day: but for a twist of fate in the great womb lottery that is the British Royal Family, Andrew might have been the head of state of the United Kingdom.

Zia Yusuf has been replaced as Reform UK's head of policy by philosophy professor James Orr, who is known to be a close friend of JD Vance and once described asylum seekers as 'invaders'

Look I know there's a lot of *waves hand* going on right now, but it's come to my attention that William "Worst Poet Ever" McGonagall composed in 1899 an elegy to "The Ancient Town of Leith" in his own, inimitable style. So if you care to gather round, I shall now retell it for the whole class 🧵🗣️🪑

BREAKING: Keir Starmer has delayed the legislation handing the Chagos Islands to Mauritius

At this point Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor should defect to Reform UK - it's the only way he'll avoid further scrutiny 🤣🤣🤣 www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c7...

Why I’ve read @PrivateEyeNews since I was 15. I got my copy on Tuesday, Andrew arrested Thursday. Inside it reminds us it raised concerns in 2009 about Mandelson discussing affairs of state with Epstein and a news item on Charles saying he would assist police with their enquiries. All for £2.99

Happy Birthday, Andrew! #FormerlyKnownAsPrince

On Jan. 7, a European Robin was spotted in Montreal. The bird was authenticated by the Cornell Ornithology Lab. No one knows how he could have crossed the Atlantic.🌻🙂

Wot!? The Grauniad hasn't heard the sounds of handcuffs yet, as Andrew Mountbatten's been arrested?

I regret to inform you I am getting more mad emails from Iain Clifford Stamp. It may look like he’s mentally ill, but Stamp makes millions selling a sovereign citizen “get-rich-quick” scheme to naive and vulnerable people.

Pope tells Trump to Peace Off White House says it is 'deeply unfortunate' that Vatican declines invitation to join Trump's Board of Peace www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Trump lecturing the U.K. about sovereignty while demanding permanent control of stolen land is peak imperial hypocrisy. Diego Garcia was emptied of its people for a U.S. base, and now he’s whining about wokeism as if colonial theft were a culture war issue.
