Johnson is a vile individual who hid behind a false mask for years, pretending to be an affable idiot. He is a racist, immoral bully who has nothing of value to say.

Boris Johhnson, "Starmer recognising Palestine is meaningless"

"It hasn't done the Palestinians any good"

"It looked like rewarding Hamas's terrorism"

(Does Starmer deserve the Nobel Peace Prize?)

"Starmer doesn't deserve a baked bean"

It does because Reform and the Tories are lying about the ECHR, using immigration as the focus

I like Pope Leo, he has been a much more positive influence than I imagined. The American bishops need to listen to him and speak out against ICE, as they are meant to be representing the Catholic faith not Trump and his administration.

Pope Leo says that American bishops need to be more vocal and support migrant communities from being abducted by ICE in US cities

"Important that we as church give a message of hope in the midst of these horrible struggles, what's going on in some cities in the US"

"The church cannot be silent"

Unfortunately too many hear 'European' which is enough to alienate them, stupid because it has nothing to do with the EU and we were part of its creation. Leaving will make no difference to immigration as 29 cases from the UK were heard concerning the removal of foreign nationals, in 16 the UK won.

Unfortunately it's taken them a while but I do sense change is in the air, not just a stand from the media but in other areas now as well.

I can see why Reform would oppose measures to prevent money laundering. Maybe banks should check money going *into* bank accounts - particularly when it's Russian money going into Reform politicians' bank accounts...

Reform not seeking transparency in relation to funding is no surprise, only those with something to hide fear what may be found. Farage has much to fear as more is revealed about his ties to Russia.

Climate change is real and already having a disastrous impact. Scientists warn the first catastrophic climate tipping point is here as our stunning coral reefs face extinction, with over 80% already suffering decline.

Planet’s first catastrophic climate tipping point reached, report says, with coral reefs facing ‘widespread dieback’

Unless global heating is reduced to 1.2C ‘as fast as possible’, warm water coral reefs will not remain ‘at any meaningful scale’, a report by 160 scientists from 23 countries warns

The ECHR is our safeguard protecting our fundamental freedoms. The Tories and Reform wish to leave it as they can't exploit us while the ECHR demands that our basic rights are enforced.

Cutting local costs hasn't worked for them in councils, with tax increases for residents, they're not going to find the sums they need doing it in gov. Their ideas unworkable, NetZero is the future, providing profits while protecting the environment, they are a party of bad ideas and inept leaders

Farage is a misogynist, he doesn't respect women or their rights. Farage in bed with ADF a right wing anti-abortion group is no surprise, but we are not America and there is strong support for abortion in the UK, Farage will fail.

So the fightback begins as CNN and the Washington Post have also confirmed they won't sign either. Journalism has been constrained and Free Speech silenced since Trump became President, the only way to stop a bully is to stand up to them.

Voyager 2 wide-angle view of Jupiter (July 8, 1979) - From Ian Regan - https://flic.kr/p/2ebde9P

This was one of the last wide-angle views of Jupiter that Voyager 2 snapped, before the planet became too big to be photographed in a single frame. Jupiter appears truncated due to inconsistent and inaccurate pointing of the probe’s scan platform, which housed the camera systems.

The orange, green, and violet frames were taken early in the morning of July 8, 1979. The planet was 1.35 million miles distant. The dark, fuzzy spot is the shadow of Galilean moon Callisto.

Gove obviously feels transparency isn't applicable to him, we know of his attempts to hide his involvement awarding thousands of contracts to private companies, spending billions of pounds of public money during COVID. Strange he suddenly feels transparency is so important now.

This is horrifying, it is also shameful that it is being ignored by American media and because of Trumps phasing out of FEMA there is no adequate aid for the victims of the disaster.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

I agree, when someone deliberately promotes racism and encourages violence against vulnerable minorities then we should expect justice to prevail, unfortunately at the moment it doesn't.
