Russia attacked the United States military on March 10, 2025.
This is the new Pearl Harbor.
Captain & crew of the Solong cargo ship is Russian.
US tanker contracted by the Defense Department had military fuel on board and was stationary at the time of the attack by the Russians.

The government should draw up plans for Tesla tariffs to hit Musk where it hurts, if Trump follows through with his threats to the UK steel industry.

Trump and Musk can't be allowed to bully the UK while the Conservatives and Nigel Farage cheer them on from the sidelines.

Ukraine has fought too hard for its freedom, only to have its future dictated by Putin and Trump behind closed doors.

Any peace must guarantee Ukraine’s sovereignty and security on terms acceptable to Ukrainians, not just to Moscow and Mar-a-Lago.

Charing Cross Road, pedestrianised today. Glorious. Because whenever you take cars away, cities get better.

With Russia's remaining air defenses now either protecting Putin's palaces or busy in Ukraine, the primary cash machine for all Russian global terror is exposed, and now being dismantled, one by one.

Six months from now, there will be no Russian oil industry.

Street trees look great, but did you know local residents also benefit from:

🚗 Reduced driving speeds
👮 Lower crime rates
🏡 Higher property prices
💪 Healthier lifestyles

Myth: street trees are just for local aesthetics

Truth: street trees help improve aesthetics but also provide cooling benefits in the summer ☀️ vital habitats for a huge range of species 🦋 and soak up rainwater runoff, reducing the risk of flooding 💧

I'm currently plotting new trees for the next tree planting season and increasing the number of street trees. 10 years ago, we had 24,000 street trees. By 2026, we will have over 36,000 street trees, beating Bromley, which holds the crown for the most highway trees in Ldn #Ealing #Trees #Urbanforest

NEW: Why do we always think crime is rising, even when it isn’t?

This week I looked at one of the big data mysteries. Britain is 2/3 less violent than the 1990s; thefts were higher pre-lockdown

Why, then, doesn’t it feel like it?
