That the UK - one of the architects of this fund, designed to save the world’s forests - is now refusing to put any money into it is frankly shameful. Starmer’s claim that he still continues to back the fund is meaningless without resources - so much for climate leadership

You're in the honey-den business, though your plans extend far beyond that. There's a lot that can be done with several large mirrors, copious honey, and a pawn versed in the ways of Parabola.
Today we're releasing new Agents for Fallen London, focused on honey-dens, glasswork, and Parabola!

Wow. I‘m not sure which part of this is weirder: that they think Starmer’s rep might be worse than theirs, or that they might be right.
Palantir has pulled out of involvement with the UK Digital ID card, according to an interview with their UK CEO on Times Radio. They’re concerned about the reputational damage of being involved with an unpopular Starmer policy.

This has serious implications for the Employment rights bill.

Coronation done, the court awaited the raven bringing the prophecy of the new king's demise. Would it be an epic one, like slain by no man, or by the hand of his son?
The raven arrived and nodded to the king. "Heart failure."
"That could be anything!"
Behind him, the face of a halberdier drooped.

It begins with chipping off Art 3 (freedom from torture) and Art 8 (right to privacy and family life) for foreign criminals to assist deportation, then it will be extended to all asylum seekers, after that - who knows? It's the thin end of the wedge. Human rights should always belong to all humans.

The Sahrawi people living in the Tindouf camps of southwest Algeria are facing their worst nutrition crisis since 2010. The Almasar Library Centre in Smara camp started a seed bank, giving families seedlings and training them to create home gardens.
Some food for thought, and little else
As Sahrawi hunger grows and their cause shrinks, a library tries to lend more than books.

After war ended in Tigray, a new invasion began — by profiteers. Ex-fighters dig for gold. Former generals seize mines like trophies. Locals face chaos. Meanwhile, gold flows unchecked to the UAE — untraced, unregulated, and lucrative.
