Has Trump joined forces with Putin to weaken our European civilisation? #trump #putin #ukraine #civilisation

This time last year, we hadn’t even decided to open Bluesky to the public. Who wants more #invitecodes? Thanks for building with us, all ~26m of you 🥰

The are 16 SEZs being installed across Norfolk and Suffolk. Local councils are being scrapped across England with plans to replace them with mega-councils, this is exactly what I said would happen as Zone Fever eclipses the entire UK. 1/2 newanglia.co.uk/enterprise-z...

Vince Cable on the sale of Royal Mail, "The main issue the government has to confront are the national security implications in relation to our national infrastructure" "My instincts would be to err on the side of caution, when you have a business interest with very close links to Russia"

Boris Johnson is terrified that we will ditch Brexit, rebuild the UK with the EU, do well economically and… …that will show him for the fraud he is.

Time to nationalise our corrupt British utilities www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Nigel Farage lied throughout Question Time last night, and embarrassed himself on Brexit. Here's a full reconstruction. #bbcqt youtu.be/FBmoJ7RJYpA?...

Can we introduce captive gorillas back to the wild? The extraordinary tale I got to make with some very fine people a few years back. #nature #conservation youtube.com/watch?v=FZ-b...

"Silent Night" A Barn Owl hunting river a local field after sunset one evening last week. Hardly ever see them. Very happy to get a couple of shots. Like the symmetry of the owl's outstretched wings and the distant treeline behind #birds #ukwildlife

Incredible view of Earth from Space

We're excited to unveil a new look for Europe by Satellite — now the European Broadcasting Service. Satellite TV was cutting-edge in 1995, but it's time for a new look that reflects EBS's missions: unity, transparency, and the seamless flow of information across Europe.

This is extraordinary. Not one but TWO counter-bidders for the Observer have disclosed details of their bids…but the Guardian’s owner the Scott Trust is refusing to discuss www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

Global warming crisis can only be stopped by critical thinking and choice, as well as a fully functional democracy to implement it. Only we can do this.

Watch as too many power hungry global oligarchs attempt to seize governmental power using new emerging technologies But can our democracies stop them in time.

My half Mainecoon Cat Moose. That girl just loves being out in any weather ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #cats #mammals

The pro-Putin Prime Minister of European Georgia Irakli Kobakhidze has vowed to 'eradicate' 'liberal fascism' from the country. The kind of word-mangling beloved of authoritarians everywhere.

"Gregg Wallace’s ghostwriter says he sexually harassed her" The details in this article of Wallace and his behaviour are shocking tbh. The BBC has received complaints about his behaviour for YEARS but done nothing.... www.bbc.com/news/article...

“Just three companies, News Corp (Murdoch family), Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT, Viscount Rothermere) and Reach plc, control over 80% of daily newspaper circulation…” We need a free press - ie free from the billionaires.

I was preparing to pitch an op-ed on the nationwide protests calling for President Yoon's resignation, aiming to provide global context amid the limited international coverage. Given the urgency, I’m sharing it now. I didn’t expect events to escalate this quickly. #SouthKorea #Democracy

We need to spread the word. Tell the UK government to ban deep sea mining before it starts.

Let’s all of us make a cleaner, happier, and safer world. ♥️🌍❤️

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

Broken tree swept by power of water digs in on the River Severn, for now.

Over to you #keirstarmer

COP29 will go down as another misstep on the road to a healthy world where humans and other life can live happily together

We need an urgent inquiry in the UK into foreign interference in our politics & media. …one which needs to advise rules for Parliament to enact before the next General Election hits.

Such a joy to watch a Common Buzzard use the wind to hover to find food yesterday evening as I walked along the River Severn. #birds #photography #iPhone #riversevern

When the felon President is elected, weirdly the rules are changed to protect this criminal liar. It’s crazy

If you BELIEVE in FACTS you are closer to the TRUTH

Meet Osmia biolor - the Red-tailed Mason bee. This stunning wee solitary #bee is one of 3 UK species who lay their eggs in abandoned snail shells She's one my favourite bees, so I was delighted last summer to spot this female checking out a snail shell when I stopped in a lay-by for a sandwich 🌿

UK and Iraq strike deal to clamp down on people smuggling gangs

This is a fascinating article on using microwaves to recover copper from power cables. After seeing Reggie Yates shocking #documentry on Burner Boys in #Ghana years ago, this kind of research is desperately needed 🔌🧪⚒️💡 www.pv-magazine.com/2024/11/28/s... www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzTD...
