Andrew Tate’s lawyer is claiming they will be executed in the U.K. Unfortunately MAGAs will believe anything so just to be really clear, there is no such thing as the death penalty in the U.K. and there hasn’t been for many decades.

"Ignoring extreme heat and raging fires isn't just complacency. It's a dereliction of duty." Experts warn the climate crisis is already costing lives and urgent action from the Government is needed.
"Some women may be harassed by hysterical idiots but that is a small price to pay to avoid the harassment for which there is no evidence except the hearsay of hysterical idiots." Right, well that's certainly some words indicating society is going mad, thanks.

My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Murderous heat, an endangered food supply, decimated landscapes: embrace the Mediterranean life | George Monbiot
As climate disaster stares us in the face, the radical right says ‘Embrace the Mediterranean life’. Embrace death, more like it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

100 years of July sea surface temperature anomalies... you'll see important patterns of regional climate variability as the animation evolves, but ultimately, the story behind the long-term trend toward record warmth is driven by human-caused climate change. Data from @noaa.gov ERSSTv6. 🌊

Remember kids, if someone is a right-wing crank who defends paedophilia and attacks minorities, they're "provocative", unlike all the environmentalists and anti-genocide protestors who are 'a threat to British way of life'. God I hate the mainstream media.

Approval of east London datacentre labelled ‘slap in the face’ for local democracy. Datacentre prioritised over building affordable homes. Little attention to environmental issues. Govt overturning local council refusal is not devolution or democracy. Big business always wins.

The honest assessment here has to be that the man was paid to be as much of a cunt as he could about absolutely everything, and he excelled at it because he enjoyed being one. But nobody can say that, because it raises questions about what exactly it is *they* are paid to do.
The next time a climate change denier comes at you with that excuse:
Solar energy supplied more power to Britain’s grid in July than any previous month on record. The figure of 14.4% of all power generated in July smashed the last monthly record of 12.4%, set only in May In July 2025, the (formerly) best year for solar generation, 9.6% of generation was from solar.
Let's be very clear. What Amnesty have done here isn't just bad for the trans community. This is bad for every single persecuted minority in the world because they have shown that money and threats will remove opposition to persecution. Think about it.
Guy gets arrested under the terrorism act for using a microphone. Labours terrorism law is a fucking joke. If they were following this law Andy Burnham should have been arrested at all his speeches. Just saying.

The BMA said the Cass Review provided no evidential basis for a puberty blocker ban. But that wasn't the story many newspapers told 👇
Reporting about British Medical Association critique of Cass Review was 'factually wrong'
The mainstream media's reporting of vital information about trans healthcare was wrong. Again.

Oh good, yet more austerity. Wonder how they'll sell it this time. Maybe they won't even bother and they just expect to lose next election so they'll openly ruin us to fund Palantir and Elbit.

The world is full of people who insist "AI is changing everything" but who - when pressed - have to admit that what they mean is that they're pretty sure that AI *will* change everything. Eventually. After we allow it to consume all the planet's energy, carbon, water and financial resources. 8/

Amnesty's capitulation is unacceptable, because a human rights NGO is not simply a discount think tank (viz. a double discounted research university). It's part of its job description to specifically leverage its resources to stand its ground against actual and threatened SLAPPs from bad actors!
