TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

More of this across the board from politicians please. You can disagree with @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the @greenparty.org.uk on issues, but you have to admit they are the only ones actually taking the rhetoric, fully and uncompromisingly, on immigration back from Reform.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.
Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.
I disagree.
RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

This happened in full view of Sky News cameras and a bunch of police just standing there. Why is THIS not on the news all day? Why don't we show people what these thugs are turning the country into? I could only find it on the far right TikTok page that proudly boasted about the incident. SHARE!

Why aren't the same journalists so concerned about Rayner asking questions
1. Where does Farage say his primary residence is/spends most time in
2. Where does he pay council tax
3. Where did the money come from to purchase the property
4. Does his partner own any other properties in the UK

Affordable childcare is crucial to making work pay, but right now job centres don’t routinely inform parents about tax free childcare or the funded hours given- if we want to close the motherhood penalty that’s a good place to start so join me and Growth Spurt working to make it happen!

One of the ironies is that the charitable sector and politicians never come out and say things just like this. When we developed "People Move" @satbirsingh.bsky.social @chaipatel.net @zoejardiniere.bsky.social the tagline somewhere behind the sentiment was "and what?".

So much this. You have to presume that Brunel & co pissed a lot of their contemporaries off with their bridges etc…
I will never not understand how a minority of people have decided that wind farms - significantly prettier than pylons, coal power plants, nuclear power plants, and almost certainly fusion power plants - are ugly. In terms of energy generation, what else are you hoping for that is better?
On holiday, I notice that there are wind turbines on the shore of Lake Garda, which very much makes me think that residents with a view of some incredibly mid Cotswold or other can put a sock in it.

And they were arrested under the Terrorism Act. If this is accurate it should terrify everyone about what it means for peaceful protest.

"Tougher border policies" have been shown for years to force more people into more dangerous irregular routes. With scrapping the Afghan Resettlement Scheme Labour has shown it's not serious about reducing channel crossings. If it was it would be implementing safer and simpler routes to seek asylum.
Me for Metro: The crucial point is deterrence & border violence has never & will never work
We need safe routes & the right to work legally for asylum seekers - IT IS SCREAMINGLY OBVIOUS
But pressure might be working, we must press harder than ever for a humane policy💪

Almost 20,000 asylum seekers in 6 months proves a crucial point
Despite the latest big scary number, this is not a new phenomenon.

The bill adds 3-4 trillion dollars to the deficit.
