🌳Vast areas of our most vital habitat are at risk of being lost forever. Will you join Dame Judi Dench and @wildcard.land in calling for DEFRA to fund the restoration of our publicly owned ancient woodlands? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/br...

As soon as the racist bunting went up and St George crosses were being daubed everywhere, we knew. This was a far-right funded migrant-intimidation campaign, pretending to be about national pride. Never felt less proud. And many have never felt less safe. Disgusting of politicians to endorse it.

The list of things that will be immediately undone the second this orange orc is gone is so long that it actually could take a couple years

This Labour government is allowing people of conscience opposed to genocide to die rather than be held to a slither of accountability

🔴‘They’ve Ruined Christmas’: Nigerian Student Blocked By Home Office From Visiting UK Family for Holidays British academic and his Nigerian wife repeatedly stopped from hosting family members, including at their own wedding, due to visa restrictions brought in by Keir Starmer’s Government

Every time I discuss universities with voters - even highly qualified ones - I get the same eight points: *Taxpayer pays tuition *Waste of money *Far too many unis *We need apprenticeships *Lecturers get x3 months holiday *Social engineering *Woke *Get rid of Humanities So, so tired of it all. 😫

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat. The claim collapsed because it’s a cover. Check my latest… open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...

Ahmed al Ahmed, a Lebanese Muslim who owns a Sydney fruit shop, risked his life to disarm one of the Bondi Beach shooters. His courage gives me hope amidst the horror and darkness. Muslims and Jews are not enemies. Our futures, in the Middle East and beyond, are intrinsically bound. A true hero.

🔴 REVEALED 🔴 The Institute of Economic Affairs – the anti-state, anti-climate pressure group that "incubated" Liz Truss – was bankrolled by oil giants and Rupert Murdoch’s media empire. 📝 Exclusive findings from @desmog.com 👇

So what if they weaken ECHR human rights protections? So what if they interpret protection from torture differently? Will that improve services? Help the NHS? Bring better food, air & education? Eradicate poverty? Crushing rights is the most destructive distraction from the wrongs that need fixing.

Brexit: the trillion pound ‘mistake’ The recent NBER report suggests the Treasury’s 2016 analysis – slammed by Brexiters as a ‘hoax’– actually understated the impact of Brexit By Anthony Robinson

Indeed. It's sometimes (often?) harder to do things the right way in medical/health research because editors/reviewers stop you from doing it. statsepi.substack.com/p/how-bad-st...

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department. One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone. When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Manafort, Giuliani, Gill and now Witkoff all acted as enforcers for Putin’s protection racket. But if the West accepts bribery disguised as peace, it normalises conquest as a viable investment strategy pdjukes.substack.com/p/bribery-di...

Glorious, cathartic, taking no shit at all, Stewart Lee. Brexit: “like someone stepping round a massive pile of dogshit on the living room carpet. Every day. For nine years.” If only all our media could be as ruthlessly challenging as this. www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

During WWII a German vessel fired upon sailors floating in the sea after the Greek vessel Peleus was sunk. The officers were tried and convicted in the Peleus War Crimes trial.

Trump lied to the nation yet again. He assured us, repeatedly, that this man had never been vetted. Clearly he knew that was a lie, but he also wanted to use the death of a soldier to advance his own personal political agenda. He is the scum of the Earth—and that is inarguable.

Johnson spent years charming, bluffing, and backstabbing his way to the top. Positioning himself as a latter-day Churchill when the moment came and leadership was desperately needed, he showed us who he was... And thousands died. @noosphere.app www.noosphere.app/boris-johnso...

Overseas-trained doctors leaving the UK in record numbers. Direct result of racism and insecurity unleashed by major political parties. Not enough home trained doctors. Takes years and high debt to become a doctor. A healthcare crisis in the making.

Brexit has caused almost twice as much damage to the UK economy than estimated by official forecasts, according to new paper from a group of experts including a senior Bank of England economist

When a sitting president calls for death to lawmakers, it’s not a warning sign, it’s the emergency siren. He is talking like a dictator and telling you exactly how he plans to use his power. This is how democracies fall and how dictatorships begin.

One of the most nauseating parts of right-wing discourse over the past few years has been their insistence that lockdowns a scam. The Covid inquiry says that 23k people died because we locked down one week too late. God knows how many more would’ve died if the herd immunity crowd had got their way

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

No shit Sherlock! It’s what we knew from infectious disease experts but hey ho, who needs experts? 🤷🏻 Published the same evidence myself only to be insulted on social media for doing proper science.

Trump can lie all he wants, but regular Americans living in reality know the truth - prices are rising, and the president's tariffs are to blame. #DonTheCon

Pelosi: "President Trump is the biggest con job in American history"

In 1993, the UN finally said the obvious: violence against women is a human-rights violation. In 1994, the U.S. finally passed the Violence Against Women Act to protect survivors. That was yesterday in human history.

"Yorkshire Water was privatised in 1989 under the Water Act, launched debt-free and promoted as the start of a new, efficient era. Today, the company carries almost £7bn in debt...."

Still think we’re not there yet?

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...

It is 90 years since George Orwell travelled to the north of England to learn about the living conditions of the northern working-class, during the long Depression of the 1930s. Today’s figures show not much has changed.

“Since 1998, independent researchers have conducted more than 40 high-quality studies involving over 5.6 million people. The conclusion is clear and unambiguous: There’s no link between vaccines and autism." -Dr. Susan Kressly, AAP President on recent changes to the CDC's website

President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally. He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough. Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. He was revered.

Starmer’s anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing media’s role in politics. He’s trying to fix a “problem” contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. He’ll never win, because ultimately he’s fighting a ghost – he’s fighting something that doesn’t really exist

So the plan is, we just take their valuable possessions off them, and put them in a camp...
