Russia has been sharing satellite imagery of U.S. warships and aircraft with Iran, helping Tehran target American forces.
Ukraine, in contrast, has deployed specialists and low-cost drone interceptors to help protect the U.S. and its allies.
Russia = our enemy 🇷🇺
Ukraine = our ally 🇺🇦
Trying to use less plastic?
Big Oil and the plastics industry are spending billions to make sure everyone else uses more.
“I think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,” said @bethgardiner.bsky.social. “It was such a shock."
❌ Leaving the EU has proved incredibly damaging for our NHS.
The University of Surrey has found that Brexit has caused 1,485 additional deaths per year due to EU nurses leaving the UK.
Release all the Epstein files.
Stop the Trumpstein war, prosecute the Trumpstein oligarchs.
Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK.
Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy.

They have no problem spending a billion dollars a day on war, but fight for every penny when it comes to caring for Veterans.
FACTS:
Net Zero barely nudges your bill.
Fossil‑fuel wars send it through the roof.
So when Farage and his ilk slags off renewables while fanning conflict, remember who actually hikes your costs.
The bullshit excuses came thick and fast… while any attempt at charm quickly drained away…
More of this please, media. He’s there to be had. There’s a mess of nasty inadequacy and failure lurking behind his oh-so-confident bluster.

Netanyahu has tried for years to get a US president to go along with his desire for a war with Iran. He finally found one. Then he used chemical weapons on Lebanon. This man is committing war crimes and igniting hatred that will start more killings and destruction everywhere.
Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
Reform UK really are so lucky.
For a party of eight MPs they have the UK’s biggest news broadcaster on retainer.
Here we see their political editor doing the job of a local newspaper reporter.
For Farage.
EIGHT MPs.
The government's proposals to slash the number of jury trials in half will increase the risk of miscarriages of justice without saving much money. So why is the prime minister pressing ahead anyway?

This is what happens when one of the stupidest people in history is in charge of your government.

Melanie Stansbury: “While this Administration is spending nearly $1 billion a day on a war in the Middle East that has now claimed the lives of 7 U.S. service members & doing the bidding of billionaires — Americans are struggling to put food on the table & a roof over their heads”
This is an absolutely huge jump in oil prices.
It's also why Europe needs to get off fossil fuels asap (beyond climate change impact). We can't be beholden to this.
Reform must *never* get hold of power. Never.
Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..
Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.
This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.
44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.
Following the Iraq war we had the Chilcot Inquiry, Starmer has followed his recommendations. Strangely the right wing press used it to attack Blair www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/artic...
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD…
Can we STOP with this ‘special relationship’ BS
And also…can we wake up to the treachery of our right wing press?!
Of course every environmentalist is anti-war!
What could be worse than the slaughter
of so many species, both by & of humans,
the wanton destruction of natural habitats,
the spewing of millions of tons of
noxious greenhouse gases
into the atmosphere
"Horrific"

Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.
If things get really desperate for the Iranians they will probably target all the desalination plants around the Gulf. Could be a very big problem!
Labour just announced energy price cap dropped.
Oil just spiked, completely undoing that.
Given 50% of UK energy is from renewables, now is the time to renationalise and drop the dumbass marginal price system that makes green energy needlessly as expensive as gas.
When a government goes after a company and threatens to burn it down because they won't let their product be used for nefarious reasons says something chilling about that government.🗽
