Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

Donald Trump negotiating with Putin:

Cruise ships - not only enormously environmentally destructive, but carefully designed for the maximum benefit of infectious diseases #PublicHealth #OneHealth www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-...

The backbench business debate saw MPs from Labour, the Lib Dems, Reform UK and the Greens all back a move to Proportional Representation (PR) for Westminster.

As a British citizen, I’m begging our media to stop reporting on Donald Fucking Trump like we live there. He’s not our sodding president! It’s like freakin tinnitus.

That's right Liz, it was the plastic straws that lost Tories the election. Not the lies, corruption, incompetence, law breaking, higher taxes, tanked economy, increased poverty, sleaze scandals or rivers full of shit.

feels like it's time to break this out again

Wednesday’s @thetimes.com cartoon times.newsprints.co.uk/morten-morla...

A bonfire of red tape.

'Into this pond were flushed the ashes of some four million people. And that was not done by gas. It was done by arrogance, it was done by dogma, it was done by ignorance. When people believe that they have absolute knowledge, with no test in reality, this is how they behave.' #HMD

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Today we remember victims of the genocidal Nazi regime & of other genocides in the decades since – & today. Conformity, ignorance, tribalism, prejudice, neglect of human rights. On #HMD we should rededicate ourselves to wiping out these causes of such horror. humanists.uk/2025/01/27/h...

Donny Diaper withdrawing Fauci’s security detail and saying he doesn’t care what happens to him is next level Saddam Hussein evil.

Hardly worth debunking this xenophobic garbage from Telegraph. FWIW they seem to to have taken the (implausible) upper bound of @pewresearch.org's old, completely debunked estimate (1.2 m) and then assigning a % of those to London. And then got London's actual population wrong! archive.ph/a8MHX

BREAKING: Harriet Harman has today put forward an amendment to the Government’s Hereditary Peers Bill which aims to end the automatic right of Church of England bishops to sit in the House of Lords. humanists.uk/2025/01/21/h...

Banksy drops another bomb.

“The poll, conducted by social ownership group Commonwealth, showed that 29% said that they would support a privately owned commercial energy project in their area as opposed to 63% that would support a community energy project” nation.cymru/news/support...

Useful briefing from @migobs.bsky.social on the UK's unauthorised migrant population. Key point - there is *very little* overlap between asylum seekers and unauthorised migrants. Probably fewer than 85K in both categories! migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/br...

Project 2025 starts today. Don't say we didn't warn you.

Finally! We now know the backstory to this classic "Planet of the Apes" ending.

🎶 when you go, will you send back a lettuce from America? 🎶

Sorry, but if they still have a flat-screen TV they do not pass their own party's test for deserving sympathy. Them's the rules. ~AA

@willhaycardiff.bsky.social exposes the con trick Reform is in Cymru. Please, please share? Reform are treating Wales as a joke open.substack.com/pub/willhayw...

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.bsky.social

There are votes to be won by appealing to the populists but eventually you have to draw a line or you will be taken to a very dark place. My @newstatesman.com piece on why Elon Musk provides a cautionary tale for parties of the right. www.newstatesman.com/comment/2025...

We need urgent realignment with Europe, watertight counter disinformation laws, social media regulation, laws against foreign interference/foreign funding, the same re. the press plus reform, an overhaul of Ofcom and a PM that will firmly tell our insane hillbilly cousin, America, to go fuck itself.

This. 👇

Nick Buckley should be stripped of his MBE. Immediately.

A fantastic Boxing Day present - well done @campaignerkate.bsky.social 👏 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Blow for landowners - or as it might read good news for everyone else as govt scraps the 2031 deadline for discovering and reporting old rights of way bit.ly/3BWt7Ad

There are more than 10m children in school in the UK…but, per Times, 3,000 might move to state sector because of VAT rise…so Whitehall is “braced” 😲😲😲 Says a lot about UK media bubble, the way this story is reported. You pay VAT on luxuries. Private schooling is that.

I seem to have upset the Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. RT if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.
