So agree with this - we are overpaying for poor financial, mobile & other services. Doubt Reeves is smart enough to understand competition & act on this given her crude attacks on 'red tape' and regulators. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I am surprised and saddened too. 😔 search.app/aCScQ

It’s baby octopus season 🐙🦑 Saw this little guy last night with the Salish Sea School in Anacortes, WA as part of their free community dock walk I volunteer as an interpreter for. We can tell it is a giant pacific octopus from the single line of chromatophores on each arm.

Excellent move.👏 share.google/obg0mAF9CJiS...

Wow! 👀 This man Gibb is at the heart of the BBC working actively to undermine it. 😞

What a wonderful invention to provide cheap, green energy alongside data services. A win-win. 💚 share.google/Isflx92g8NmE...

This is SO bad and seems that no agency or council can afford to clear it up or stop it. Extraordinary. 😔 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“Most of the UK’s economic problems since Brexit would have been avoided if it had stayed in the European Single Market and Customs Union” Any government keeping us out of both is actively harming us. www.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

Good. They are seriously overpaid and of questionable use.

Gavin Newsom arrived in Belém as a pointed rebuke to President Donald Trump’s decision not to send an official US delegation to the COP30 climate summit.

Brexit is strangling our economy and still ruining our politics 😔

I'm not sure if others have noticed this, but interesting that one of the Prescott criticisms of the BBC is based on those of the 'History Reclaimed' group, which is also associated with the 'Restore Trust' group's attacks on & so far unsuccessful attempts to take control of the National Trust. 1/3

This is the absolute best explainer of the current attempted coup at the BBC. It’s why Nigel Farage hates the bbc despite its endless desperation to give him a platform. The Right will never be satisfied until the BBC is destroyed. www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/epi...

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

Meet Nairobi Nursery's most unlikely dining companions – Tytan the rhino and Notty the zebra! Rescued just a week apart, these two orphans are now inseparable.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy. For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy. The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten. "I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs. So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract. Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

Huge right wing victory - disaster for the BBC. www.theguardian.com/media/ng-int...

Exactly & if Farage gets in the BBC will be finished. 😔

Beware of this 'charity' liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/402...

The BBC's senior leadership resigning en masse over one dodgy edit in one programme, simply because the right wing press demands it, tells you everything you need to know about where the power really lies in that relationship

This is disability visibility. Mamdani listened. He didn’t pander or talk over the disabled journalist. He acknowledged his concerns and gave real responses about how he plans to fix them. 1 in 4 Americans has a disability, it’s a huge number of voters. Don’t ignore us!
