Literally NOTHING Donald Trump says is truthful
It's not ignorance. It's not malice. It's not that he's owned by petrostates and polluters.
It's ALL of these things!

Amazing wording on this glacier memorial
TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

It’s shameful that any British or European politician or organisation still use X. For pities sake close your accounts now.
After this weekend's racist attacks on the EU, I've written a column about the moral obligation to stop posting on X.

Oh no, wait, I wrote it *two years ago* when it was blatantly obvious what was going on and how it would get much much worse.

The EU was created in by people who lived through WWII and saw political and economic integration as a means to bringing peace and stability to the continent.

It is being opposed by Putin, Musk and the others who support Neo Nazis in Europe.

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.

Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph

Because this does NOT add up!

No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

Why this matters:

Martin Shipton, Nation Cymru:

"Wales is Reform’s next big target… if they [win the Senedd next May] it will make the national Reform party flush with taxpayers’ cash."

(quote from @thenerve.news)

Reform run Kent has already disappeared £40 million. Wales would be much more.
NEW: Wales’s first minister @prifweinidog.gov.wales backs call for a full investigation into Russian interference.

Wales’s Senedd elections next spring ‘at risk’. @bbcwales.bsky.social report below.

I'm seeing claims that progress was made at #COP30, but it really wasn't. Each passing year with no fossil fuel phaseout comes at great opportunity cost as we further burn through the vanishing carbon budget that remains for averting dangerous warming. See my commentary: michaelmann.net/bad-cop/

Gill’s conviction for taking Kremlin money is yet more evidence of Russian influence in our politics, as the Russia report itself found. So when will Ministers finally investigate this wider interference? Why are we forced to pursue it in court? @carolecadwalla.bsky.social
