Even Starmer has acknowledged that we need to move closer to the EU, but his Government have offered no serious plan to make this happen. If we want to boost trade, we must rejoin the Single Market and Customs Union.

Sorry, this is from the other place.
Can you imagine the uproar from the right wing press if someone had died in the back of an ambulance because Just Stop Oil or Extinction Rebellion had blocked the roads?
But when it’s greedy farmers who don’t want to pay the same tax as the rest of us … nada!

Moment Israeli forces shoot dead surrendered Palestinians – video report
Moment Israeli forces shoot dead surrendered Palestinians – video report
Video of an Israeli military raid in the West Bank shows soldiers summarily executing two Palestinians they had detained seconds earlier.
The shooting on Thursday evening, which was also witnessed by journalists close to the scene, is under review by the justice ministry, but has already been defended by Israel’s far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who said 'terrorists must die'.

The world of the GenAI bubble feels like a bunch of people involved in making a blockbuster movie that turns out to be crap.
There’s LOADS of talent and AMAZING things being done and the set is buzzing but - there’s something flat, predictable, unengaging, unoriginal and tedious about the result.

“The real conspiracy theory around Trump and Epstein is that multiple apparently unconnected women lied, and continue to lie, about Trump’s behavior. This with nothing to gain, and much to lose, by speaking out about his misdeeds.”
I love seeing a shred of accountability for Trump as much as anyone, but it's pretty striking that most people are prepared to believe a man who's a convicted serial rapist-sex trafficker and NOT ALL THESE WOMEN katemanne.substack.com/p/the-actual...

Which means of course that the UK Gov removing such access from almost everyone is a deliberate decision to kill people.
Well now, would you look at that?
A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

Missing 1.5C climate target is a moral failure, Guterres tells Cop30 summit
UN secretary general urges opening session in Brazil to bring about a ‘fundamental paradigm shift’
The failure to limit global heating to 1.5C is a “moral failure and deadly negligence”, the UN secretary general has said at the opening session of the Cop30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém.
António Guterres said even a temporary overshoot could “unleash far greater destruction and costs for every nation. It could push ecosystems past catastrophic and irreversible tipping points, expose billions to unliveable conditions, and amplify threats to peace and security”. Continue reading...

The authoritarian takeover of X was a harbinger of the regime’s strategy for America at large.
Bluesky is a perfectly adequate refuge for X exiles. The biggest problem with Bluesky is that so many political and media elites are still on X. That’s not Bluesky’s fault—it reflects poorly on the elite.
