Utterly damning report from Office for Environmental Protection - the Govt’s not only missing its targets to protect wildlife in England, it’s also failing on *almost all* environmental measures - and in some cases actively destroying the natural world through its obsession with growth at all costs
Government’s wildlife targets will be missed in England, watchdog says
Seven out of 10 targets have little likelihood of being met by 2030, Office for Environmental Protection says

The fact that people think London is dangerous (because of cell phone theft or shoplifting, apparently) is ludicrous.

97 people were killed in a city of over 8 million. There were 535 murders in the entire country.

Just look at some cities in the US. . .

Disappointed w BBC for that Mandelson interview. A slap in the face to Epstein victims. He was part of the system of male power which enabled & dismissed abuse. The media went after Mandelson correctly in my view. Now the media is aiding his swift rehabilitation & PR. 1/2

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

🇻🇪 No matter how awful Maduro was, if you can't criticise a country for attacking another sovereign country, you're a coward and you have no place in the highest office in our land

European weakness on full display by these horribly contorted responses from Merz, Macron and Starmer - neither condoning nor condemning US actions in Venezuela

Such weakness only risks making the Europeans more vulnerable (ie Greenland)

At some point the 'realignment' in British politics is going to come under severe pressure on the issue of national security and global conflict. It is not possible to be patriotic/nationalist and also pro-Trump/pro-Putin.

Opponents of the far-right Alternative for Germany have accused the party of attempting to disclose sensitive information on arms supply routes and drone defenses, which could be of great interest to Russian intelligence.

The DOJ released thousands of numerically labeled Epstein files yesterday.

In one file was a photo of Trump with young girls.

As of this morning, that file EFTA00000468 is now missing from the DOJ website.

They deleted it.
