Freed British hostage Emily Damari has revealed to the Mirror she is now writing a book on the horrific 471 days she spent in Hamas captivity.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Low-carbon technologies like solar and batteries save people money. Solar panels with an export guarantee can save households nearly £600. 🧵

Very pleased to read the PR for the Warm Homes Plan this morning. The best insurance against energy price volatility is a solar + battery combo for a household. So it's excellent to see an ambition of tripling rooftops with PV. Combine it with a battery and its magic! www.gov.uk/government/n...

Facebook reminds me that on this day in 2017 a woman turned to me in the veg section of Sainsbury's and said "hopefully now we've left the EU we can have loose carrots that aren't wet"

Surprise, surprise. Yusuf talking nonsense. Here's the graph with pensions stripped out. The complete opposite of what he claims. Keep numbers away from Yusuf as you would fire from a toddler.

Countries are also moving to diversify away from reliance on the US. Canada, for example, has worked hard to broaden its international partnerships, and Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke powerfully at Davos yesterday...

I admit I'm a little confused as to why a consensus seems to have formed that SCOTUS will strike down Trump's obviousl illegal tariffs. That would be correct on the law, sure, but what does that have to do with anything? They'll strike it down if they feel that it saves Trump from himself (possible)

“The ability of big countries to grab the territory of smaller ones with impunity” is an evil doctrine for which we thankfully still have some antibodies from the last infection.

Donald Trump arrived nearly an hour late and proceeded to give a completely disjointed, barely coherent speech. It appeared he was simply reading brand-new information aloud to himself. trib.al/YBuNGF2

China’s solar exports to Africa jumped 60% in 2024 - a sign that the shift towards clean energy is well underway. The international community can build on this momentum, even as the US pulls back. Read the research 👉 www.ippr.org/articles/prophet-spoiler-or-free-rider

The School Support Staff Negotiating Body established in Labour's Employment Rights Act will give our support staff more ability to negotiate for better pay and conditions. @larry-turner.bsky.social asks the Secretary of State a vital question about when we can expect to see progress on this 👇

Today marks the 109th anniversary of the Silvertown Explosion which hit London’s Royal Docks on January 19 1917. It claimed 73 lives, injured almost 500, destroyed over 900 houses, left up to 70,000 badly damaged, and left thousands of families homeless. Photo: ©noddyseagoon / Historic England

Today at City Hall, we came together with Jewish community leaders and Holocaust and genocide survivors ahead of Holocaust Memorial Day. We listened and reflected on our shared responsibility to carry the lessons of history forward, and to stand against hatred in all its forms.

The majority of Americans do not want Greenland‼️ We want him gone, as well as those who are still lawlessly behind him‼️

“If we have to choose between the USA and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO, the Kingdom of Denmark, and the EU.” trib.al/5fVjvXt

Norwegian PM Støre says Trump repeatedly raises—complains about, pleads for, and demands—the Nobel Peace Prize every time they meet. Støre gives same answer each time: decision is made independently by Norwegian Nobel Committee, with no role for Norwegian gov—a concept Trump appears unable to grasp.

Nobody TRUSTS Trump‼️

At least six high-profile congressional Republicans have voiced their opposition to President Trump’s desire to take over Greenland. “I’ll be candid with you: There’s so many Republicans mad about this,” Nebraska Representative Don Bacon told the Omaha-World Herald. trib.al/6hYxGfr

We really need to think about the fact that yes, the Dems banging on that Trump was a threat to democracy didn't electorally work, and yet what they said was true. Rather than blaming the left for hysteria we need to understand why the public didn't believe them or believed them and didn't care.

🛣️ From risk to safety: the story of the redesign of Keogh Road 🛑 Keogh Road in Newham shows why street design matters.

Bottom line. If we believed victims, we wouldn’t need to release the Trumpstein files. The WH occupant, his comrades & his enablers are long past due consequences. The DOJ must be held in contempt for flagrantly defying the law.

Very strong evidence of coordinated action between countries affected by Trump's Greenland threats. There's a lot of officials who lost their weekend doing a great job. Let's see what this week brings - a Supreme Court judgement would add to the picture. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Care workers are increasingly unhappy with their pay, despite the significant lifting of the wage floor in recent years. @charliemccurdy.bsky.social breaks down why that might be the case ⤵️

Yesterday I visited the Repair Café and Dr Bike service at Plaistow Library, and the turnout was incredible! 🚲 🛠️ There was huge demand for both services, with residents queuing throughout the afternoon to get bikes checked, items repaired, and expert advice.

It will be women who save humanity‼️
