On 15 March 1939 Hitler and his deputy summoned the Czech President to Hitler’s residence in Berlin and then bullied him to submitting to a German invasion of his country. They drove him to the point of physical collapse, threatening him until he eventually signed his country’s death warrant.

Maybe that reporter should ask King Charles why his mum wasn’t wearing a suit in this wartime situation?

Putin will be loving this. Shame on Trump and on Vance.

Disgraceful #POTUStrump #janeygodley was right

Terrific resignation letter by Anneliese Dodds, this.

This is Vaquita the rarest animal on earth there are only 10-15 left in the world.

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Trump's USA joins Putin's Russia to vote against a United Nation's General Assembly resolution calling for a just peace in Ukraine, respecting all countries' territorial integrity & sovereignty. 93 countries in favour, including UK and most of EU (except Hungary).

Read this twice. The world we know is shifting beneath our feet.

Elon Musk's pinned tweet right now.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

I would like to see a few British broadcasters read out every word of Trump’s latest ‘statement’ live on air & then remind us of their often lavish statements of support for him & then share some of their supportive words for Ukraine. And then we can all watch their brains explode…

Time to remind y’all. Thank you Janey Godley

I don't see Trump demanding elections in Russia. ...ironically one year, almost to the day, after Alexei Navalny's murder.

unsurprising.

So a key cycle route which included schools was killed off by TWENTY EIGHT responses. That's right, a scheme which would have benefited thousands and ensured safety of children going to school was scuppered by a couple of dozen. I'll bet they were mostly about parking too.

Get the message? By Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz.

Crashes, explains associate professor of surgery David Mooney, are “all kinetic energy.” Doubling a car’s speed quadruples its kinetic energy. “If you go just a little bit faster or a little bit slower, it’s a big difference" www.harvardmagazine.com/2025/03/harv...

Taking Britain out of the Erasmus+ programme was a huge mistake. Labour must rejoin and accept the EU’s offer of a youth mobility scheme

This, for everyone on Tyneside who thinks waggonways can be the core of our cycling network.

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

Update. The Telegraph has now corrected its entirely fabricated claim that 1 in 12 Londoners is an "illegal migrant" and has accepted that this claim was false in *four" separate respects. However, this has not resolved my complaint to IPSO - I will continue to request a front-page correction.

What is going on here? 😂

Thank the lord for Private Eye

Word of day is ‘unasinous’ (17th century): united in stupidity. A riff on ‘unanimous’: which comes from the Latin for ‘one mind’. ‘Unasinous’ means ‘one ass’.

Today’s word is… Recrudescence: “The return of something terrible, after a time of reprieve.” “The reappearance of an undesirable condition.” Recrudescence.

Oh my! Sorry kids. #trump

The Centre for Health & the Public Interest said Streeting was talking “utter nonsense” about the private sector providing extra capacity because almost all the doctors it uses to perform operations are NHS staff www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

My letter in today's Guardian. Just asking, like. But I think we know the answer.

Bless these solar panels @itvnews.bsky.social
