This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty. If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐 There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..
This deserves *way* more attention than it’s getting Reform’s former Wales leader admits he received corrupt payments in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament to promote Russia’s interests in #Ukraine.

Banning Israel from the ESC may be ill conceived. It punishes Netanyahu's opposition, and may even take away their voice, while being meaningless for Netanyahu's base. Instead, such moves increase the perception of "we against the world", not helping Gaza. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...
‘Water off a duck’s back’: will Israel’s growing isolation make its leadership change course?
For many Israelis, Netanyahu’s warning to get used to growing isolation confirmed what they already suspected of his priorities

Komisch. Wir kommen im Podcast zur Erkenntnis, dass Kirk mit einigen seiner "legitimen" Meinungen gegen das deutsche Grundgesetz verstoßen hätte (Art. 1 und 5) und vermutlich nach §130 StGb Volksverhetzung (seine Holocaustrelativierung) betrieb.

Gyp Rosetti@gabielenadohm.bsky.social · 11mo agoJens Spahn stellt bei #Miosga in Abrede, dass Charlie Kirk ein Extremist war: "Es sind zum Teil sehr konservative, zum Teil sehr liberale Positionen. (...) Sie sind halt sehr klar. Sie sind anders als viele Zuschauer es vielleicht sehen. Aber deswegen sind sie doch nicht weniger legitlm."
Wer verstehen will, warum Jens Spahn bei Miosga den Trumpismus verharmlost & die Linke derart verteufelt, dem lege ich unsere @gabrielakeller.bsky.social Recherche zu Jens Spahns engen Verbindungen zu MAGA-Milliardären & trumpschen Stiftungen ans Herz - erklärt vieles: correctiv.org/aktuelles/ge...

every time we do a ubi study it comes back like 99% of people have a greater quality of life and contribute more to economy numbers, and a week later there's a new nber paper that's like what if we legalized hunting humans for sport.
Jon Munitz@jonmunitz.bsky.social · last yr.Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached. They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others. Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further. #UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.
Today our transmission grid capacity is only used about 55% of the time. Our distribution grid, less than 30% of the time. But for 50-100 hours a year everything could be used close to 100% of their capacity — so we overinvest in those hours. @tnorris.bsky.social
Tonight is the night when the Messias is reborn (after having been killed two weeks ago) creating a new cult with Trump as its obvious leader, characterized by retribution, not love.

Ramón Méndez Galain helped Uruguay decarbonize its grid in just five years, with 98 percent of its energy coming from renewable sources. His new vision is to see Uruguay’s success story replicated in other countries.
