Read this twice. The world we know is shifting beneath our feet.
Breaking news: U.S. sides with Russia to vote against a U.N. resolution condemning Moscow for the Ukraine war.

Washington’s dramatic shift on the conflict marks a major break with its European allies and coincides with the Trump administration’s bid to repair relations with the Kremlin.

“Latest science shows 1 metre of sea level rise now inevitable within a century or so & could come as early as 2070”. How on earth do political leaders read this stuff & reconcile it with their continued failure to act? ‘Cognitive dissonance’ doesn’t come close ….

This is heartbreaking.
Sara was tortured and murdered by those who should have loved her the most.
The authorities who could have protected her, failed at every chance.

When will this stop.

Reindeer may look magical, but they aren't props for Christmas entertainment.

Reindeer petting zoos cause extreme stress reindeer are often transported long distances, exposed to unfamiliar environments, and unable to exhibit natural behaviours,

Wow. Imagine the shock for the Daily Mail when it finds out Tory plans were for fines of £5k - later reduced to £3k - for each missed heat pump sale. What Ed Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. As @torstenbell.bsky.social says today Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”

The Times journalist who fought to get the story about the Reform MP who kicked his girlfriend multiple times @georgegreenwood.bsky.social tells how hard the newspaper had to right to get the information released.

So who has been protecting the Reform MP?
As an addendum to this, it took four months to get this information, which would have been publicly available at the time of conviction.

The Times had to appoint counsel and attend a hearing at Westminster Magistrates Court to secure its release. That is not an expense all publishers can afford.

I see that a collection of MPs have taken it upon themselves to “launch” a private prosecution, in relation to a case which is still awaiting a CPS charging decision.

What might be the problems with this? 🧵
