The Washington Post writes that Trump did not delve into the details of his administration’s "peace plan" for Ukraine. White House departments don’t know what is going on. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

Call a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics Concerned about reported efforts from Russia to influence democracy in the US/UK/Europe? We believe we must establish the depth and breadth of possible Russian influence campaigns in the UK. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

A 6% levy on international student fees was proposed in the Immigration White Paper. The impact is about £600 million, though very unevenly spread across institutions.

How many GOP Senators do you think Marco Rubio could recruit to stand up against this capitulation, in the face of the magical lactating JD's entreaties?

It's unclear how many times Marco Rubio can do this--hastily convene all of Europe to present a counteroffer that Russia will inevitably refuse, only to have the Russians throw a few more bribes onto the funeral pyre of the Western order and with those bribes rope in a few more venal Trump flunkies.

So a bunch of people who want enormous financial bribes from Russia bypassed the man who REMAINS both Secretary of State and National Security Advisor to capitulate to Russia. Then he got the backing of key Senators, and with it, tried, once again, to prevent the total capitulation by the US.

When the history of the extreme anti-vaccine and conspiracy theory movement is written, this photo should be seen as absolutely central and foundational. Three physicians supporting anti-vaccine pronouncements from Trump & RFK Jr.

Very stupid

One day we’ll look back on this as one of the stupidest things we’ve done.

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

“UK is costliest country to…” - build nuclear power - build fast rail - build a house - buy a house - rent a house - travel by train - buy a beer - power your home - pay for childcare - insure a car - stay in a hotel - go to the dentist - buy bog roll At least some museums are free….

Unfortunately, I can confirm that this is true. I have known Carl for 2 decades and he is smart, dedicated, and quite apolitical, focused on science and getting stuff done on important problems. Huge unnecessary loss of leadership and expertise.

The UK’s waters are rising and we’re being kept in the dark.

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances. A new decade-long Brexit study explains it: a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else. Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

The Trump administration's pressure on European regulators is having an impact, with fewer restrictions on Big Tech and canceled measures. www.wired.com/story/europe...

Ultra-processed foods now make up at least half of all food sold in UK supermarkets. The Lancet has described them as a “corporate-engineered public health crisis.” We can change this — but only if we confront corporate power. youtu.be/BJ8nEeiFmH4?...

“I think the big message coming out of this G20 is that despite the geopolitical bullying that exists, despite the power of the U.S., that countries can come together and still get stuff done,” said @nabilahmed.bsky.social. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/w...

Then why didn't he just say that? Any normal person would have calmly said, "Of course no one should follow illegal orders and we do not issue them." Instead he got hysterical and basically said "how dare they say not to follow my illegal orders! I'll give any orders I want & they WILL follow them."

Let’s really ‘Bring back the Family Doctor’ Wes Streeting NHSEngland with a real patient focused contract and real funding to make it happen Patients want to see GPs & GPs want to see patients ‘Your GP, here for you’ time to make it happen & it’s in your hands

It will cost more that the current contract to provide which pays £169 on average / patent / year (This has increased from £152 in 2016 but had it kept with CPI inflation would be £209 today) An additional £40 / person / year would enable this to be delivered Do you want it?👇🏻

YOUR GP - HERE FOR YOU - A NEW CONTRACT It’s time for a new contract between you, your GP & the Government For too long GP have been restricted in providing care by top down contracts with limited funding, which don’t put patients first GPs need your support in providing this

“Have they given up? Are they just deciding to build up herd immunity by watching us die? The government has given up, hasn’t it? They are throwing us into the slaughterhouse.” It’s not hindsight - we knew this at the time @drrachelclarke.com writes: observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Not content with selling out Ukraine to Russia and thereby putting the security of America’s allies at risk, the Trump regime is trashing the reputation of US science and risking the health of its children by rewriting the CDC website to suggest a link between vaccines and autism

I am grateful for @adamjkucharski.bsky.social. He takes such care to deconstruct a claim made by the director of National Institutes of Health on excess mortality during the pandemic. We need sober analyses more than ever right now, even amidst the madness. kucharski.substack.com/p/excess-mor...

Welcome to my daily thread on Day 1369 of the full invasion of Sudetenland (Sudety)... oh sorry, Ukraine. I just get mixed up with the similarities of a Nazi leader being appeased by an old white guy displaying cowardice. This is the Ukraine thread on Sunday 23 November 2025.

Powerful piece by @drrachelclarke.com on the COVID inquiry. Those who say it’s easy to be wise in hindsight are being utterly disingenuous. Many of us spoke out at the time, and it’s in the public record. @independentsage.bsky.social observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

What should Europe do to reassert itself? It can still be tough with China. And its countries can make better use of the power they have, by integrating their economies

Trump's big 28 point surrender plan for Ukraine was drafted and written by Russia. Treason Trump was assigned with delivering it in another failed attempt to backstab Ukraine and Europe and prevent the release of the blackmail Russia has on the US "president".

This is a geopolitical five-alarm fire, with the only saving grace being that Trump could change his mind, as he has so often done in the past. wapo.st/3XcRot6

Wtf! Trump is America's Neville Chamberlain. This is how you know Putin has some of the most vile and disgusting shit imaginable on Jeffrey Epstein's pedo bro Trump. Marco Rubio has confirmed the list for Ukraine's surrender that Trump is taking credit for is a Russian wish list.

“The interview which stood out the most was with Zach Polanski, it was refreshing because he does this thing where he answers a question then stops and says next question” Trevor Phillips

Nice to see The Greens getting some well-deserved attention on TV this morning. @zackpolanski.bsky.social wiped the floor with Trevor Phillips (yay). It's time the media started to ignore the lies and hate peddled by Frogmouth Frarage. Plus, Starmer = the biggest let-down in modern politics.

Trump boasts he has his ‘highest poll numbers’ ever – but some surveys show him sinking to a record second-term low

Fire alert: the fake ‘Amazon TV stick’ that opens the door to fraudsters

Be in no doubt that this is a perilous moment. America’s proposal prescribes a deeply insecure future for Ukraine and richly rewards Vladimir Putin’s aggression
