Trevor Phillips is on Times Radio at the moment presenting its lunchtime show and talking about the imminent release of the Mandelson files. He’s not mentioned that Peter Mandelson has been his friend for many years and was best man at his first wedding.
As the media focus on the US and the war against Iran, they ignore the elephant in the room: climate change.
Sea levels are rising around the planet. Research already showed that millions of people live in areas facing inundation. A new study finds those numbers have been vastly underestimated.
not to make everything about data centres lol but this is very much like when a data centre adds 1 gigawatt of demand and then once a month they'll reduce their demand by 0.01 gigawatts and get paid for it like it's an act of raw social altruism
You caused the problem! You could just not cause it!

Great.
New MP Hannah Spencer was given a police escort after an anti-hate demonstration turned violent. The Green Party MP had made a speech at the Greater Together Manchester event on Sunday afternoon in Piccadilly Gardens.
I try very hard not to use the word Orwellian too much but it’s the best adjective for the mauling of language at the start of this BBC News report. “… an anti-hate demonstration that turned violent”. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Picture of DOGE guy Nate Cavanaugh
Screenshot of my DOGE letter “Dr. Joseph Rezek Dear NEH Grantee, This letter provides notice that the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is terminating your federal grant (Grant Application No. FEL29509824) effective April 3, 2025, in accordance with the termination clause in your Grant Agreement. Your grant no longer effectuates the agency's needs and priorities and conditions of the Grant Agreement and is subject to termination due to several reasonable causes, as outlined in 2CFR§200.340. For instance, NEH has reasonable cause to terminate your grant in light of the fact that the NEH is repurposing its funding allocations in a new direction in furtherance of the President's agenda. The President's February 19, 2025 executive order mandates that the NEH eliminate all non-statutorily required activities and functions. See Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy, E.O. 14217 (Feb. 19, 2025). Your grant's immediate termination is necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government, including its fiscal priorities. Any objections or appeals to this termination will be managed in strict accordance with the President's Executive Orders,
Last year, this guy (left) from DOGE used ChatGPT to find NEH grants that were too “DEI” for Trump, and canceled them, including mine, as shown by the letter I received last April (right). Huge new NYT article on the back story link below
Trump's weekend just got absolutely wrecked — South African President Ramaphosa called out his racist policies as an "ambush," former presidents slammed his attacks on democracy, and Gov. Walz outplayed him completely.
Read why the resistance is winning:
While the Trump administration claims that they have the war in Iran under control, devastating consequences are mounting from the military campaign in the region.

“By removing trial by jury, Keir Starmer & David Lammy are abolishing the ultimate guarantee of independence in our criminal justice system, & are placing extraordinary, unprecedented & untrammelled power into the hands of whichever politicians come after them”

At this point the United States is no different than Russia. All the money is spent on war and the enrichment of Oligarchs, while the everyday citizens suffer.

A drone hit the marina didn’t it?
No drone has hit Dubai Marina. It was debris from a successful interception Everyone is ok.

I wonder if a drone has hit Dubai Marina. Or whether it was just

Price of Crude Oil WTI (USD/Bbl) over a five-year period, spanning from 2021 to early 2026.

The real insanity isn’t how much oil prices have spiked, it’s that we’re still burning oil for energy.
Farage Panics When Confronted That Majority of Reform UK Voters Admit to Being Racists and Fascists

12,284 #supermarkets around the UK are “fed” by just 131 distribution centres.
These were a “sitting duck” for drone or cyber-attacks by malign states, he said: “9 big retailers account for 94.5% of all retail food…using just 131 distribution centres. In #DroneWar, that’s a sitting duck.” #r4today
Jonathan Karl is the Chief Washington Correspondent for ABC News, & when you listen carefully you can hear his very loud point, calmly made, that the US president takes time out to take random media calls & has unfiltered, unchecked chats with them. Listen to this:
Chlorine dioxide is an industrial bleach for lumber and freaks like RFK give autistic kids enemas with it. Kids die from the practice. These people just want autistic kids dead.
What if all the money and people's labor and imagination that was poured into carbon capture and storage for the last, i don't know, 20 some years, went into shutting down the fossil fuel system and making sure the few hundred thousand people whose livelihoods are entwined have what they need?
It’s my understanding that Axel Springer media is quite strongly right wing but not really in that frothing at the mouth spent too long surfing 8chan incognito way that the telegraph has cornered so this could be interesting
These most recent allegations against Trump are vile and disgusting.
Nobody is above the law. Especially not the leader of the pedophile protection party.
Once production is stopped, the trouble is that even if the war ends it will take weeks to start up production again and get it back to normal flows.
Shame we are STILL so dependent on oil and gas, really.
Renewables support national security
This is true, and so is the inverse: fossil fuels are a national security threat.
As predicted, France, the UK, Italy, and mie Germany are now acknowledging, carefully and belatedly, what Spain said out loud from day one about Trump and Netanyahu’s Iran war:
reckless, unlawful, and strategically empty.
Courage, it turns out, has a lag time.
