I love that line so much. Along with 'Can I ask a question sir?' " As long as it's not the one about where babies come from'. As a teacher I have to stop myself answering with that one...a lot.

Reaching net zero by 2050 โ€˜cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisisโ€™ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

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.

This is unambiguously genocidal rhetoric: framing people from different cultures living peacefully as an existential threat justifies and incentivises extermination. It is genuinely terrifying how normalised Great Replacement Theory is becoming in our political culture.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services arenโ€™t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Keir Starmer faces one of his biggest rebellions over jury trial cuts The PM and David Lammy have tried to quell dissent, but dozens of Labour MPs are thought to be ready to vote against plans intended to clear the court backlog

Keir Starmer faces one of his biggest rebellions over jury trial cuts and rightly so.

Labour MPs must see through his outrageously dishonest propaganda pieces and VOTE AGAINST this shameful constitutional vandalism

The NHS has now stopped all medication - puberty blockers and hormones - for trans minors. For most, unless they get drugs from other sources, this means a lifetime, in an increasingly violent and transphobic society, unable to pass. Under Wes Streeting NHS policy is harm and death for trans people.

Iranโ€™s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Of course itโ€™s just pure coincidence that they all used the same, exact words. Freedom of speech in action.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

US strikes on Iran โ€˜outside international law,โ€™ says Macron Macron joins Spanish PM Pedro Sรกnchez in calling the legality of the strikes into question.

After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ attack on Iran is a violation of international law.

But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something

Confirms their story titled: โ€˜We earn ยฃ345k, but soaring private school fees mean we canโ€™t go on five holidaysโ€™ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

Extraordinary crowds as a mass funeral procession begins in Minab, Iran for the 165 school girls & teachers killed in the US/Israeli school strike on Saturday.

Many outcomes of this war are uncertain. But a renewed generation of hatred towards the West is now baked in.

๐Ÿšจ It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

72+years on, US & UK attempt to repeat history
"On Aug19 1953, Iranian Premier Mohammad Mossadegh was removed from power in a coup organized & financed by the British & U.S. governments. The Shah ... [then] ... signed over 40% of Iranโ€™s oil fields to U.S. companies"

โ€œWe cannot say that the United Statesโ€™ actions are against international law, but we condemn Iranโ€™s retaliatory actions as against international law,โ€ is neither a coherent nor a compelling position.

in case anyone ever needed confirmation that it's not about building a democratic Iran, it's about collapsing Iran and turning it into a land of rubble that can be bombed every six months
