We have an official ruling

With all the relationship drama, missed this good news! The complaint claims Bondi “has sought to compel Department of Justice lawyers to violate their ethical obligations under the guise of ‘zealous advocacy’ “. www.tampabay.com/news/florida...

Lots to be frustrated and concerned about as always, but it's quietly been a very good week for the UK green economy. Over £13bn announced for public transport projects, solar panels on new builds confirmed, and reports the Warm Homes Plan will not be cut. www.businessgreen.com/news/4414672...

Currently putting together a short essay on Shakespeare and cliff ecology for @kimgilchrist.bsky.social & Derek Dunne's "Shakespeare from Below" seminar @srsrensoc.bsky.social conference in Bristol Here's some good news about choughs 👇 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Builders will be required to fit solar panels to "vast majority" of new build homes in England under changes to be published this year: www.bbc.com/news/article...

Ministers to confirm solar panels for new build housing in England

Well, America, thank fuck you didn’t vote for the unserious woman with a laugh you didn’t like

As can be seen below, @BaliAid could use some help getting the roof at the shelter repaired. If you can spare a donation, please use the links in their post. If you can't, then at least share this for me so we can reach as many people as possible. Thank you ❤️

Donald Trump's grandfather Friedrich Trump was ordered to leave the kingdom of Bavaria within eight weeks as punishment for having failed to do mandatory military service. No-one in Trump's family has undertaken American military service. They are parasites. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016...

It's called the Dunning Kruger effect. But sometimes it's known as dumbfuckery.

“it’s common sense that children can’t do well at school if they’re hungry. That's why today I'm proud to announce that over half a million more children will get a free school meal every day” Prime minister Keir Starmer www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Now this is the sort of thing I want to see from a government!! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... School dinners are expensive, and quality is frequently poor (thanks to <checks notes> oh yes, profiteering private companies). But getting children at least SOME calories is better than nothing.

"It's a Yes or No Question"

Why is he still in office???

What percent of our atmosphere is CO2? In this video, we debunk the argument that because CO2 accounts for a seemingly tiny 0.04% of the atmosphere, there is no reason to worry about manmade carbon emissions, other greenhouse gases or global warming induced climate change youtu.be/VBocJQt5xj4?...

This is indeed legal nonsense - you can find the 90/180 day rule in Art 4 of the EU's visa list Regulation, with no suggestion that it's a minimum standard - eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2018...

Brexit sovereignty means we can’t afford to spend v much on defence… or in fact anything… Here’s the new slogan for the side of that bus… “Rejoin the EU and spend the increased GDP on what we want” (Letter, Times) (Not sure about “unaffordable luxury”… More an “unaffordable idiocy”)

🚨🚨Another striking and very well-planned #ukrainian attack: Kyiv’s SBU security service has detonated a massive underwater blast targeting the key road and rail bridge connecting the Russian-occupied #Crimean peninsula to #Russia, damaging its underwater supports.🧵

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

I see Honest Bob Jenrick has a new little video attacking barristers for representing unpopular clients. Once again for those at the back: Lawyers are not their clients. Which is how, when Jenrick broke the law in government, he had lawyers to defend him.

BREAKING: The water sector in England and Wales is failing and needs stronger regulation to better protect billpayers and the environment, according to the interim findings of a landmark review www.bbc.com/news/article...

🚨🚨 Today's under-reported but quite significant #brexit news: UKG government will scrap border checks on fruit and veg imported from the #EuropeanUnion in an early move to ease trade ahead of its new SPS (sanitary and phytosanitary) deal with the EU. 🧵 www.gov.uk/government/n...

Britain wants Freedom of Movement for lettuce and not for people. Liz Truss must be feeling quite funny.

18 Lesser Horseshoe #bats in my garage. That's almost double the previous maximum. Either the venue is getting more popular or the building work opposite has forced a roost to relocate. @batconservation.bsky.social

Amazing to see how Musk’s X, with its algorithms deliberately encoded to suppress news of Ukraine, isn’t even trending in the last two days on one of the most dramatic developments in modern warfare — the destruction of strategic bombers by drones

🚨🚨Major (negative) #ruleoflaw news: Populist Karol Nawrocki, backed by the Law and Justice party and U.S. President Donald #Trump’s administration, beat liberal Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski by 50.89 percent to 49.11 percent in the Polish presidential election.🧵 www.politico.eu/article/libe...

Your occasional reminder that in two years' time, Nigel Farage will be taking his gold plated £73,000 annual EU pension.

🔥 Because I've not seen it anywhere yet... Here's a map I made of the 4 Russian air bases that Ukraine hit with drone attacks just now (red stars) Look how deeply they penetrate into Russian territory. From the Arctic Circle to mid-Siberia, nowhere in Russia is now safe. Slava Ukraini. ✊

Day 1945 of #Brexit: ‘British citizens who travel frequently to the EU face having their fingerprints individually checked each time they cross the border into the Schengen area because of delays in developing an app to verify biometrics digitally, it has emerged’ www.theguardian.com/travel/2025/...

Says the man who gave us the biggest tax burden since the War, highest ever national debt, largest fall in living standards on record and committed the biggest act of self-harm in our history with Brexit. Time to shut the fuck up you shambling oaf.

Andrew Bailey urges closer EU trade ties to ease Brexit strain and counter Trump tariffs https://www.europesays.com/uk/144637/ Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey has called on Sir Keir Starmer to go beyond the government’s recent…#uk #news #uknews
