This is big - Scotland could make Ecocide a crime. It won’t be alone if it does - there’s a global push to make this happen. And why not, we have crimes against humanity - why not crimes against nature and the environment. Laws are how we stop bad stuff happening. buff.ly/Cl3o2lp.

Today is #NationalBiscuitDay - what biscuits are politicians most similar to: Keir Starmer = Malted milk - not as popular as they used to be Angela Rayner = hob nob - often in hot water but emerge unscathed Lee Anderson = party rings - turn up at a lot of different parties

Ah. Despite the mischievous headlines I didn’t say this was now standard English. Rather that ‘mischeevious’ (which used to bug me no end) is an example of how, for centuries, English-speakers have often moved the sound of words to something more familiar. www.thetimes.com/uk/history/a...

Lovely atmosphere at Haytor yesterday. We worried it would be a requiem for a lost right, but instead it was a victory party for people over selfish wealth. Ace speeches by @lewis-winks.bsky.social @guyshrubsole.bsky.social @carolinevoadenmp.bsky.social More: www.advnture.com/camping/righ...

I have a friend who finds the Mums of the men who send her unsolicited misogynistic/abusive messages online and forwards them with a note saying ‘this is how your son speaks to women on the internet’ and honestly I feel like someone should be paying her for this work.

The fact that Merz is visiting Finland so soon after taking office, to meet also the other Nordic prime ministers, is a sign that he understands the importance of engaging with Northern Europe in a different way that Scholz did. Would be very happy to see Germany making an effort to win back trust

In English, if someone asks you something and you have no idea what the answer is you could say “I haven’t the foggiest,” or “God knows,” or “I haven’t got a Scooby” (because Scooby Doo rhymes with clue). Here are ten of my favourite alternatives from other languages…

Nigel Farage wants attention for saying he’d scrap the 2-child benefit cap. But in the vote against it, did he show up? No. Zero Reform MPs voted against the cap in July. Green MPs put it in our costed manifesto, signed the motion, and voted to scrap it. Actions not words.

Why the police had no choice but to pander to the liars, grifters & racist provocateurs who caused the Farage riots last summer. And why we should all be deeply concerned about what this means. tinyurl.com/4rrn2mkx

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

Just for clarity….this is why the BBC constantly fill our screens with Farage & “experts” from the Tufton Street cabal of RW nut-jobs… FFS the current BBC Director of news was previously the Editorial Director of GB News! Where the hell are @lisanandy & @Keir_Starmer ?

Farage has said Reform will fully reinstate winter fuel payments to pensioners and scrap the two-child benefit cap, if it gets into Government Given they only have 5 MPs, Greens 4, and the LibDems 72 MPs highlights yet again the BBC showcasing the Far Right and studiously ignoring other parties❗️😡

What does the price of gas have to do with the price of green energy? - everything and nothing. There should be no connection at all but instead we allow the global price of gas to set the price of green energy made here from the wind and sun - we make them all the same price. buff.ly/Ho49uIL

Unbelievable that the IEA who have shilled for tax dodgers, Big Oil, tobacco companies and some of the worst crooks about is registered as a charity. With this lot and the constant battering from the right wing press, it's no wonder this country is in the mess it now finds itself.

For Tories to attack Keir Starmer’s first step towards a Brexit reset is monumental hypocrisy. Their Brexit led to £4.7bn spent on implementing post-EU border arrangements. No country can have erected such ludicrous barriers against its biggest trading partners www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Well what a surprise Chris Mason includes a party with only 5 MP's, yet once again ignores Lib Dems with 72 MP's on migration figures. Unbelievable BBC bias.
