Venezuela - some questions. How can you run a country without invading? If you invade won't there be opposition? If you don't like a leader is it ok to kidnap them? Which country with oil reserves is next? Why aren't other nations condemning these actions? Why don't we learn from history?

Trump's attack on Venezuela will create global instability.

Will prolong the Ukraine war. How could the US condemn and sanction Russia?

Encourage Putin to kidnap Zelensky.

Encourage China to takeover Taiwan.

What is the point of the UN if rogue powers can do whatever they want?

Bengal Tiger (Panthera tigris tigris): These endangered big cats are carnivores, hunting and feeding on ungulates but also hares, wild boar and occasionally water buffalo. Thank you again Kunwar Shobhit Dayal for sharing your image of a wild Tiger taking a drink in the Dudhwa National Park in India.

Another no-freezing night for several stations in GREENLAND

It's possible that some stations pass a whole week without ever dropping below freezing.
That's crazy for January,when the no-freezing nights are rare and hardly ever more than 2 in a row.
Most of Europe is colder (minimums) these days..

Grenfell firms still receiving multimillion-pound public contracts.

In 2027, 72 people died due to faulty cladding. No one charged.

Post Office scandal - postmasters fraudulently convicted of crime. Fujitsu still gets public contracts. After 30 years no one charged.

Yes there could be. It’s good practice to have one in there.

If you can’t get in the loft you could ask for a home safety visit from the fire service to make sure everything is ok?
You just need to phone 0800 0502999 and ask for help.

Starmer’s Labour has ceased to have a useful purpose. Other than making itself unelectable. Which is the only thing it has achieved.
Vote Green Party, or any other alternative to the three cheeked right wing arse of Labour/Reform/Tory.
These unconscionable cuts by the Labour government to a vital lifeline fund for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child.

They must be reversed

Apartheid state

Farage would restrict child benefit to "working British people, meaning a couple who both work 37.5 hours a week”. 450,000 children would plunge into poverty.

Tories plan to restore the two child benefit cap.

Has Farage changed?

No.

Is he still a bully? Does he still have admiration for dictators? Is he still an agent of division and destruction? Is he still dishonest?

Yes.

Reform is Farage’s personally-owned Nazi Party.

Keep it out of power.
