I hate to say it but I feel that Penny Mordaunt being made a dame really devalues my peerage. news.sky.com/story/david-...

Banality of evil stuff.

Smoke and mirrors from Kendall. Whether the transition from receiving PIP is four weeks or 13, disabled people are still going to be denied necessary support, and access to work in many cases, by these cuts. This is an unconscionable policy which will harm so many people. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I see it’s Adam Curtis time again. How this pin-sharp parody did not put an end to the silliest of genres I’ll never know. Still, it’s easier to understand why people took Dominic Cummings seriously when this sort of join-the-dots nonsense masquerades as credible analysis. youtu.be/x1bX3F7uTrg?...

As I noted in today’s post, this really was the most egregious thing that happened in LA yesterday and that’s saying an awful lot

As hybrid #2 returns home to NZ from Canada, I will leave this meme as a fitting farewell to a great nation... I love Canada! (& coffee)

The tragedy of it all aside, this is also a clear illustration of how contempt for norms destroys democracy and a free society more generally. It is rational now for *every* US citizen to doubt whether the person claiming to be a police officer is, in fact, genuinely a police officer.

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

Arresting someone for asking a question ain’t a display of strength. It’s a display of weakness.

Private Eye exposing again the utter idiocy of our politics. This sums up *exactly* how Farage and Reform get rocket-boosted by a media, drunk on sensationalist nonsense. Unserious and irresponsible but it’ll be up to us to prove them wrong.

Guys it’s not a “she said he said” issue There’s a video

The first U.S. bishop appointed by Pope Leo XIV—a refugee himself—is mobilizing priests to accompany migrants at immigration court on June 20. (Via Christopher Hale)

This is important. She did not have to let this happen. The video shows a lot of the manhandling of Padilla happened right in front of her.

Literally describing themselves as occupying a blue state like hostile territory with the military and federal forces.

Lesson 13 of "On Tyranny": Practice corporeal politics. Find your No Kings protest, June 14th.

Defra publishes a call for evidence on more private sector investment in "nature services". They are specifically focussing on: water, carbon, access, flooding, farming and international. But nothing specific on conserving nature. Too difficult? defrafarming.blog.gov.uk/2025/06/12/c...

As climate scientists, we can only tell you why climate change is happening and how severe the consequences will be. It takes voters to choose politicians who will listen and enact policies to avoid the worst possible outcomes.

Russian casualties: 1,000,000 NATO casualties: 0 Kremlin: “We are fighting this war against NATO”

Four new case studies focus on support for children and families. Supporting children and young people in the very early stages of life is crucial in preventing ill health in future and developing thriving, healthy communities, and embedding good health at all levels in our society. bit.ly/3SNscHe

There are no riots here anywhere in LA, regardless of what Fox tells you And Monterey is 267 miles from here, lol

The perils of drinking @privateeyenews.bsky.social

Hello and welcome to "Million Day" It's only taken until Day 1205 for Putin to rack up 1,000,000 losses, almost all men, dead or disabled. Don't forget those not yet discovered, ones that we can't see (PTSD etc) and those killed by criminals. Time to start another daily 🧵

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

Day 1205 of my 3 day war. Hitting 1 million casualties in a pointless war on Russia's national day is perfect symbol of what I've done to Russia. I remain a master strategist.

Just a little reminder in the midst of the debate about budgets, spending reviews, tax, borrowing, and the state of public finances: Brexit costs £40 billion a year in lost tax revenues!

Is this capitalism?

The UK’s identity system is chaotic. A new report says it's costing us money, rights and trust. Stephen McNair asks if this is the most quietly transformative idea in British politics. Have a look ⤵️

Award-winning scientist, Andrea Sella, has returned his Royal Society award in protest over the Society's continued apathy over Elon Musk. My latest substack in which I make the case that we need more scientists like Andrea, who are prepared to take a stand: open.substack.com/pu...

The UK government should long ago have exited X. The platform is not interested in appropriate moderation. It is a hotbed for extremism. This was clear nearly a year ago during the riots.

Russia systematically beats, tortures, rapes, and kills its prisoners. This is a monstrously violent regime.

Despite warnings about rising sea levels and the "intergenerational obscenity" of nuclear waste, Sizewell C has been approved. The emotion of those fighting for Suffolk's Heritage Coast is clear. Rachel Fulcher tells of the powerful reasons behind it.

The new art of the deal: the content is less than clear, implementation is unclear and by the time one of the parties is ready to implement the fundamentals have shifted anyways.

⚡️ Russia’s nuclear deterrent against US not 'significantly' affected by Ukraine’s Operation Spiderweb, official claims. "Our nuclear deterrence potential against the U.S. and any other potential adversary has not suffered significant damage," Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said.

“Analysis” easier, cheaper to produce. Normalization of GOP extremism, particularly Trump’s, into a typical understanding of politics frees them from grappling with the stark reality. They don’t have to confront the larger problem or deviate from their standard set of descriptors of his actions.

“Wild Virginia is taking several actions to insist that government officials properly use their authorities to identify sources of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and prevent their release to the environment.”

Earlier this year, we reported on chemical industry lobbying to prevent regulation of PFAS forever chemicals on a scale "far bigger than anything the tobacco industry have been able to pull together." Today, we report on the latest tactic in this deadly strategy: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

To recap: There are 10,000+ PFAS. Some are toxic. They're here forever. They pollute water, air, soils, animals and you. Some linked to diseases inc cancers. So when scientists warn against moves to redefine them, we'd better hope people are listening: www.theguardian.com/environment/...
