Re-writing history is a tool of political fraudsters everywhere. Trump is its keenest proponent. The birth of the European Community, later the EU, was actually actively supported by the US. The joint, transatlantic goal was to secure peace on the Continent. It was a specific vision of FDR.

A bit of good news: NHS England hospital waiting list falls for 4th month in row. The lowest figures since April 2023. Considering the “quademic” and winter months, this is an achievement for both the NHS and Labour government. So it’ll obviously be all over the news, right?

The ban driven grouse shooting petition has passed 63,000 signatures. Plz add your name here if you want this discussed in parliament petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70... I wonder whether we can get to 66,666 by 21 Feb- that would be half way in time and two thirds of the way in signatures.

We're heading to the High Court to protect our public access rights ✊🥾 If the public walks a path for decades, could a brief gap due to a public health crisis remove our right to access it forever? Tomorrow's critical case could set a bleak precedent 👇🏼 www.ramblers.org.uk/news/rambler...

Driven grouse shooting is about killing animals for fun, which personally I have never understood and it disgusts me. Plus the damage to ecosystems from the raising of grouse. @WildJustice_org is right to oppose it. Signed.

Holding Labour accountable is reasonable but that’s NOT what is happening. What we’re seeing is the most rich powerful people in the world throwing all they’re got at a democratically elected UK government, because it’s far less likely to work solely in THEIR interests than the previous one.

I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false. As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.

A remarkable listen. Andrew Norfolk carefully, softly, devastatingly sets out all the context you need to understand the current discourse. He is balanced, sensitive and doesn't shy away from identifying the failings and those that have been failed. A stark contrast to other voices.
