A truly astounding exchange. The Zelensky/Trump meeting descends into an out and out slanging match. Perhaps the most remarkable thing we’ve ever seen recorded in the Oval Office.

King Charles who loves killing foxes, birds, and badgers has been made Patron of the RSPCA. King Charles used his power to block a ban on Fox Hunting and to make sure it is the joke ban we currently have. RT if the RSPCA should remove him.

Someone got $38 billion in government funding.

Elon Musk, who has said the beneficiaries of federal spending are a "parasite class," runs businesses that have pocketed $38 billion in taxpayer-funded subsidies, loans and contracts www.washingtonpost.com/technology/i...

My only criticism of George Orwell’s 1984 is that it wasn’t titled 2025.

The green economy grew by 10% in 2024 and generated £83bn. It’s time to stop backpedalling on the green stuff and hit the accelerator. The faster we decarbonise the faster we cut energy costs, create jobs and strengthen our economy. buff.ly/3XdEACW

Bwahahaha. Mar-a-Lago was listed as "Kremlin Headquarters" for a little while on Google Maps. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is not an intellectual point, bur I wanted to state that I am frightened by the situation in the US and I am becoming even more anxious by the extent to which most people I know IRL (ie: not politics addicts) are entirely unmoved

In these difficult days thank goodness for the Daily Star. Please share this with Trumpy friends

Proud to be a Lib Dem. Aghast at the Reform numbers. 2/3 of them have a favourable view of Trump, over a third of them have an *unfavourable* view of Zelenskyy and about 1/8 of them have a favourable view of Putin. FFS!

Why are we still bankrolling outdated fossil fuels? #fundthefuture

It’s a chance I’m willing to take.

BBC obsesses on Rachel Reeves but not Reforms James McMurdock whose CV doesn’t add up👇🏼 He says he worked at at Lehmans (it had gone bust when he claimed to be there) He claims he dealt with Corporate Loans -they require FCA Reg but I couldn’t find him.. His bizs went bust @adambienkov.bsky.social

Why are the producers of #bbcqt presenting a campaigner for Reform as a disinterested observer?

This sort of stuff from MPs really does look corrupt. Via Private Eye:

The first heat pump in the UK was installed in Norwich in 1945 but today only 1% of UK households currently use heat pumps. In fact, the UK has just 412 heat pumps per 100,000 people compared to the European average of 3,068. The problem? A huge public knowledge gap about heat pumps in the UK.

Love the FA Cup on the BBC. No ad breaks filled with gambling ads, just analysis of the first 45. Bliss. And I say that as a long suffering Spurs fan that's one nil down at half time.

We've reached 1.5°C global warming. With current policies, we're heading for a catastrophic 2.7°C warming. A new review paper in Science shows: this would change the Arctic 'beyond recognition', with knock-on effects (like rising seas) around the world. 🌊 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

They're waking up.

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

This !!

At a moment when we desperately need a fragile truce to hold, Trump’s ramblings on Gaza risk having the effect of a bull in a china shop. The UK needs to make clear that these proposals must be rejected, and that we support international law and a two state solution based on 1967 borders.

At. Gunpoint. Musk is telling duly appointed and security cleared government officials that they will be shot if they don't turn over to Musk sensitive information to which he has no right. In any other country, we'd call it a coup.

Happy to share this version of #MEGA - Make Elon Go Away

UnitedHealth killed this young man. When will they be paraded around as a campaign prop then indicted? It's time we stopped framing these deaths as anything but homicide by greed.

I had no idea Bluesky would be filled with so many mushroom fans

Left: Nigel Farage tells This Morning that it was so cold along the National Mall that they had to move Trump's inauguration inside otherwise "people would have died" Right: Emily Maitlis was doing cartwheels on the National Mall, and there were quite a few Trump supporters, all perfectly fine

Makes one proud to be British.

A tiny 2% wealth tax, on 20k people would raise £24 billion per year to spend on the things that urgently need fixing in our country. We need some tax justice - the more money you have the less tax you pay and vice versa - that’s absurd.

Trumpers fully support his decision to pardon insurrectionists — just don’t get into the details

We have it in our hands to deny power to Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Murdoch. We can do it. Right now. Just stop using their products.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Just in case you were wondering how things are going over at The Spectator, in the opening months of the Paul Marshall/ Michael Gove golden era... These were all published on Monday.
