The British library is in crisis: why does nobody care? The widespread indifference to the British Library's crippling cyberattack demonstrates a perilous failure to value the knowledge infrastructure vital for national prosperity

Exhibit one: why so little attention to the travails of our national library?

Funny that - Putin couldn’t have planned it better. Wonder how much he owed the Iranians? pure speculation on my part.

Reporting facts, telling the truth, and calling out official lies is not bias. It’s journalism at its most valuable.

This is clearly fine with the GOP.

The first lesson of war is ‘know your enemy’ – and Britain’s enemy now is Donald Trump | Simon Tisdall As the Iran disaster escalates, the US president should be seen as an enemy whose actions threaten the lawful, democratic way of life everywhere, says Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdal...

Man who dragged Britain into an illegal war in the Middle East scolds other man for not dragging Britain into an illegal war in the Middle East.

Country Joe McDonald, Whose Antiwar Song Became an Anthem, Dies at 84

"And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn, next stop is Vietnam
And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates"

RIP Country Joe McDonald.

And Churchill would have talked. Trump has no plan, except keeping the Epstein files off the front pages. If he really cared he would have supported Europe over Ukraine, not claimed Greenland etc etc.
Netanyahu is desperate to keep out of the courts too for corruption.

NEW: Russia is reportedly sharing intelligence with Iran to support Iranian attacks against US forces in the Middle East in contrast to the Kremlin’s recent attempts to frame Russia as a potential US ally and US-Russia relations as increasingly friendly. (1/8)

Russia stands to make a lot of money on the lifting of sanctions "to help the global shortages of oil" so helping his illegal war effort against Ukraine. It's in Putin's interest to stimulate and prolong the conflict in Iran and maybe Trump's too. Sickening.

EU countries have now given final approval to a 2040 target to cut emissions 90% 🎯

These targets are pushing ahead with an ambitious climate agenda despite political resistance. A hard‑fought compromise between governments and EU lawmakers!

A big moment for climate policy in Europe. 🌍🔥

What Donald Trump is doing in Iran is obscene, what Netanyahu did in Gaza was obscene, this is not defence it is death and destruction for the sake or it. Hamas and the Iranian Republic are vile, ruthless and despotic - but they grow in the blood and rubble.

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez saying Trump impulsively acted in Venezuela and Iran, causing global instability, and suggesting spikes in instability coincide with revelations about the Epstein files. Below is a video still of Ocasio-Cortez speaking outside a government building.

Continuation of the same post showing Ocasio-Cortez arguing that if the Epstein files influence Trump’s decisions enough to risk global conflict to protect himself politically, it means he cannot make objective decisions for the American people. The image shows Ocasio-Cortez speaking on a walkway outside a building.

She's right, you know.

Migration is part of what makes this country great.

We're not an island of strangers - we're an island of neighbours.

The Green Party will always support fair & managed migration.

And Caddy’s Ice Cream parlour?

Churchill did say something along the lines of “Better to meet jaw to jaw than war. “

Newspapers that told their readers austerity, Brexit, Johnson & Truss would be brilliant are attacking the British Prime Minister for not unquestioningly following a lunatic President into an illegal attack. And on social media, he gets attacked from the other 'side' for doing the precise opposite!

There is much to welcome in the Govt Schools White Paper, especially on supporting young people earlier.

I asked the SoS for Education to recognise that more needs to be done to improve inclusion schools & increase alternative provision for the young people who need it.

Wonderful let’s get our country back Hope not hate xx

Bungay and market towns like it deserve proper access to banking.
I have raised this in Parliament after residents were told they cannot have a hub because one exists seven miles away in Harleston. In rural areas, distance does not equal access when public transport is limited.

People power led the Greens to victory in Gorton and Denton The party’s historic byelection win was earned by listening to voters, not ignoring them, as Labour has done

“we produced videos in Urdu, because we believe that voters should be spoken to, not spoken about. Reaching out to communities in the languages they use at home is not division; it is democracy.”
