"Another example was Mahmood’s claim that if her “earned settlement” proposals are not implemented 'we will see a £10bn drain on our public finances and further strain on public services..this is a mix of the deliberately misleading and the completely wrong."

Lying - it’s called lying.
Wanted to do some more exploring during low tide at unfamiliar coastlines and stumbled across some beautiful conglomerate fossils.
That.
Is not.
A word.
You asshole.
#NewIllustrationOfTheDay by Katie Cleminson from her very personal picturebook about loss, Beyond: A story of love and grief. A beseeching penguin alone in a crowd on a busy, rainy street. Drawn in brown Ink and smudged colour, evoking mood & place. Bloomsbury 12 Feb. @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social
#NewIllustrationOfTheDay by Aditi Anand from The Fabric of Us. I love the images in this book, conjuring rich scenes with glowing colours and loose drawing that captures stance and gesture. A child with two fathers deals with loss. Walker 12 Feb. @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social @aditianand.bsky.social

Not even the Nazis expressly announced they were committing war crimes. Indeed, at Nuremberg war crimes were denied.
But here, openly, the US Secretary for Defense is explicitly admitting to committing war crimes.
Absolutely Rachel Reeves 👏
5 lambs watching me take their photo. They were playing around a tree stump before they saw me. Behind the lambs, a fence divides their field from the next field, which is wet and mucky. Beyond the field, the river Bann is visible and in the distance the town of Portstewart can be seen.
The lambs were more interested in me than the view behind them.
Looking across the River Bann towards #Portstewart on Wednesday.

With almost every passing hour Tony Blair’s calls for U.K. - and Starmer - to fully commit to US and Israel’s war in Iran looks more deranged
Is there a precedent for a US President openly assisting a foreign power that is helping an enemy kill American soldiers?
Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.

Pete Hegseth says there's no need to worry about the Gulf of Hormuz's being closed. Only one-fifth of the worlds oil and gas moves through it.
Oh, tell that to Asia, silly man; not to mention it raises the risk of catastrophic military conflict in the Middle East. Aghhhh

Shame can be a destructive emotion, but this is what a culture without shame looks like.
And it's consistently rewarded and indulged.
Fake news 😉😭
It was always time to avoid flying to Dubai with their documented serious abuses against migrant workers. All that glitters is probably built on the back of a migrant desperate to earn a crust.
Ordinarily, I wouldn’t mock an older person’s mental decline, but it has become apparent that not only has Trump’s neurons been functioning in a questionable manner since he took office, but, setting that aside, he’d always been a dumb, cruel man lacking in emotional intelligence.
Senator Murphy: "You cannot bomb a nation into submission. You cannot impose regime change from the air. Bombing elementary schools hardens resolve. Trump learned nothing from Iraq and Afghanistan."
Murphy is right, you cannot impose regime change from the air. They can make another Afghanistan
Does anyone actually believe Mr “ Etch -a - Sketch Trump “ has studied the military history of the US invasion in Afghanistan and Iraq? 😮💨
‘Medical records showed the detainee was taken to hospital in the summer of 2024 with injuries including broken ribs, a punctured lung and rectal damage, according to Israeli media reports on the indictment.’
Medieval levels of degradation and torture for Palestinian prisoners are nothing new. The fact that it has come to light, evidence presented, and dismissed is beyond comprehension but nothing new.
Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking across a microscope slide. 🫧🐻🧪
it's not that I think this is the worst thing happening right now or the one that's genuinely causing me most psychic pain, but the profusion of gambling ads on streaming is really making me both very angry and very sad. the fuck are we doing
