A deeply dangerous — and blatantly retaliatory action against Colorado — by the Trump administration.

NCAR is one of the most renowned scientific facilities in the WORLD — where scientists perform cutting-edge research everyday.

We will fight this reckless directive with every legal tool we have.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

Hitler said he would make Germany great again. He left it invaded, in ruins, and with millions dead. Mussolini promised to restore the glory of the Roman empire.

Never trust politicians who promise to make your country great again.

What this underscores is a fundamental truth that while none of the rest of us need supremacists in our spaces, and are just fine without them, supremacists need the rest of us or they collapse against each other. Without them we're fine. Without us they've got nothing.
Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.

They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

- Only 3.5% want a new copyright exception for AI training (3% want an exception + opt-out for rights holders, 0.5% an exception with no opt-out)

These results are absolutely overwhelming. The government should rule out a new copyright exception immediately.

Again: Norway and Switzerland are not in the EU's customs union, nor in *a* customs union with the EU.

Some folks still haven't learned this in the c.10 years since the referendum campaign.

This is the scoop for which @lewisgoodall.com and the News Agents team won their award
Two governments took The News Agents to secret court for two years via a constitutionally unprecedented superinjunction to stop you from hearing this story.

The MoD is responsible for a data leak that put up to 100,000 Afghans at risk of death.

Excellent piece

Among the many gems:

"for all that there has been some improvement in the tone of the UK-EU relationship under Labour, the domestic narrative remains one of suspicious, sullen instrumentalism."
Is the tide turning? New post on my Brexit & Brexitism Blog. Renewed talk of a customs union may well come to nothing, but rapidly changing geo-politics mean the UK needs urgently to face up to the failure of the entire Brexit ‘strategy’: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/12/is-t...

So often the story on climate leaves us in despair.

But for Prof Jules Pretty, there's plenty of good news after COP30. Solar costs are plunging, EV adoption is soaring and countries choosing renewables are saving billions. The story is turning. Read the good news here ⤵️

It feels that Trump NSS declaring it wants to support, in essence, the overthrow of European Liberal Democracy and undercutting all of the assumptions we've based our last 70 years of foreign policy on should be a bigger news story. More than, you know, Eurovision
🚨🚨 God #America, this is grim and a very stark wake-up call to European political ledaders on the (non) future of the "transatlantic alliance":

Great! No more Farage on BBC!
Oh please, please, please, please. I promise Santa I have been good this year, kind of. Please let this be the gift
Farage also wants an apology from the BBC "for all of your appalling output" or he won't speak to them again. He sounds very, very rattled.

You know what? I really don't think it is. Great domestic political posturing, but Labour have no plans to go beyond the 'reset' agenda, certainly none the EU are likely to accept. This will be talk to little if any action.
Starmer declaring “we have to keep moving towards a closer relationship with the EU” is a significant moment.

Reflects transformation in public opinion + need for economic growth.

Mason's misinformation was the top news item for two days. Not a bulletin went by on national TV or Radio in which he didn't put in a shift. Today he is NOWHERE to be found, of course.

The correction was given 25 seconds, at the end of News at 6, "in other news", just before an item about Santas.
