“Europe will not be part of Ukraine-Russia peace talks, US envoy says”

Shocking, but the bigger question is - what does it have to do with the US?

If they are not actively there to help Europe & Ukraine… then they are in these talks on the side of themselves and Russia.

That’s the reality now.

Peatlands are critical ecosystems which contain more carbon than all the world’s forests... despite covering just 3% of the global land surface.

But new research shows that vast areas of the UK’s peatlands, are, due to climate change likely to become unsuitable for peat accumulation.

And after the past few days with Canada and Mexico tariffs crisis- which is to be continued 30 days hence- we should be so grateful that Boris Johnson never got close to a UK-US trade deal.
"A YouGov poll on 21 January asked ‘Who would you rather have as a closer trading partner to the UK…?’

Of all adults, 53% said the EU, and 21% said the US. The younger you were, or if you were a woman, the more likely you were to say the EU. Even 20% of Reform UK supporters said the EU!"

Yes. You want to support musicians? BUY their work. Buy their merchandise. They need money to live! Streaming gives them almost no money! Musicians make more awesome music for you when they aren't literally starving!
I make $20 every six monthsish on the combined streams of all four of my albums on all streaming sites. At Bandcamp I make about $10 every time I sell an album, physical or download. Use Spotify if you want, but if you like living artists making a living, buy something from them where they get paid.
Who would have foreseen that by effectively stealing music from artists by stopping paying out on songs that have less than 1000 streams in the past 12 months would result in a first ever annual profit for Spotify?

If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it

We cannot allow them to rewrite history.

Wowzer, JC going full antisemitic - trying to throw the entirety of global Jewry under the bus to stop anyone having a breath of sympathy for any Palestinians.

This is not even helpful to Israel. It’s pure desperation to assist a murderous Netanyahu.

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed.

The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.
