This is a truly horrifying account of increasingly likely collapse of essential natural systems which would bring mass food shortages, price rises & global disorder. Commissioned from UK intelligence chiefs but scandalously suppressed by Govt, & sneaked out now while attention is elsewhere 👇

Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland.

There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same.

And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment.

I'd give it the nod If they went for Putin. Sadly under trump they are more likely to kidnap Zelenskyy.

TOMORROW I urge peers from all parties to vote for the amendment tabled by Lord Thomas if it goes to a vote.

This is a chance for the Labour government to end one of the most shocking, shameful and monumental injustice’s of the past half century - the #IPPscandal

No excuses. Let’s get this done
🚨On January 6 Keir Starmer has an opportunity to end one of the most CRUEL, INHUMANE & MONUMENTAL INJUSTICES of the past half-century - the #IPPscandal - by supporting an amendment to the Sentencing Bill tabled by Lord Thomas.

Will he take it?

"What if we have all internalized the belief that we are entirely on our own, and that interdependence and cooperation are signs of weakness?

That would be a pretty good way to create a society devoid of any form of collective organising; devoid of much real hope."

So today I found out that my TED talk ‘This is What a Digital Coup Looks Like’ was TED’s most watched talk of the year.

It’s sort of amazing & terrifying. Because this *is* what a digital coup looks like.

This rant from the British newspaper columnist and broadcaster Melanie Phillips is insane. It is hateful. It is nauseating. And it is instructive.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

Most people cut off by the tide weren’t swimming — they were walking dogs, exploring rock pools, or taking photos. Stay aware of what the water’s doing, even on dry land.

Why not reply "No, of course not. Nobody rational would want to see that."
Asked if Keir Starmer believes British people want to "see refugee children pulled out of school and deported after 10 years in this country”, his spokesman says that “what the British public wants and what this government was elected on a mandate to deliver was to secure our borders"

Seriously.
Govt minister Alex Norris is asked if the govt will take jewellery from people [fleeing war and persecution]. Norris says the govt won't be taking peoples wedding rings but they will seize assets.
