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

A delusional Trump lies blatantly in his Fox News interview, claiming if he didn't impose tariffs on everyone "the entire world would be in a depression."
Americans are reeling from the high prices caused by his tariffs.

Which is what Trump wants. The state nationalizes businesses and industries, controlling all aspects of the economy through a centralized bureaucracy

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.
If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

A third of the food we produce is wasted. Producing that food means clearing land, applying pesticides, artificial fertiliser that uses energy to make. Decaying food releases methane as it does so. Reducing food waste is probably the most affordable way individuals can help fight climate change.

Some employers are greedy, exploitative scum.
500 employers fined £10m for failing to pay the national minimum wage.
42,000 workers repaid more than £6m.
Roll of exploitation includes Holland & Barrett, Centrica, Adecco, Avis, Euro Garages, Genting Casinos, Go Outdoors, Mitchells & Butlers. Some have a history.
None forgot to pay execs.
