If the UK Labour govt did what they say they will do in this crass poster then they would be breaking the Good Friday Agreement, the UK/EU Withdrawal Treaty and ending the arrangements of the Common Travel Area.

They're not going to do that. They simply forgot that Northern Ireland exists. Again.

Important and welcome that President Connolly's first public words since her inauguration are focused clearly on the climate challenge we collectively face.

So much depends on us making major progress to further bring down emissions in these crucial years.

In honor of Larry Summers, I asked the female members of my college class (1987) to say if they had any experiences with sexual harassment by teachers/professors, back when this was tolerated as, I dunno, the cost of attending college, and OH MY GOD.

If there are an infinite number of universes, it is therefore inescapable that every possible outcome exists somewhere in the multiverse. We could be living in the universe where Burke – in the finest Irish tradition – has gone on the run dressed as a woman.
Gardaí have been unable to locate Enoch Burke after twice calling to his house yesterday to imprison him for contempt of court.

A High Court judge ordered the former teacher's return to prison on Tuesday.

This does feel like a major crossing of the Rubicon – the world's best-funded and in many ways most powerful public health agency is now actively pushing disinformation.

I know there's a *lot* going on to care about at the moment, but this one really is significant, and matters well beyond the US.
The CDC website now disseminates disinformation about vaccines, claiming erroneously that infant vaccines might cause autism, when we know conclusively that they do not. It is difficult to overstate just how dangerous this is. www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safe...

When I was under 1, my dad was arrested in the UK. As was the standard procedure, he had the beating of his life and was left on a cell floor to reflect on the errors of his ways. He got 3 years in a max security jail. One of the men arrested with him died on hunger strike.

I cannot hide my deep disapointment and frustration. This is a bad decision and I feel sad. Tracking deforestation is key to prevent it and to count on a reliable instrument to facilitate sound carbon markets and trustful forest funds. www.politico.eu/article/eu-c...
EU countries seek to weaken deforestation law as green backpedaling continues
The decision coincides with COP30 and will add fuel to claims the EU is walking back its green ambition.

Mahmood really is a disingenuous nasty piece of work. Look, people don't risk their child's life crossing the channel to boost their own claim. Mahmood's own policies of restricting family reunion does mean more children will be making channel crossings though.

This, sadly, is all too common. Albanian trafficking victims in particular, but not solely, due to both the previous and current governments' policies are often ignored and demonized. Both Labour and Conservatives have weakened protections. Now the Home Secretary is making it even worse.
