Pro-EU, detest the con-trick of Brexit. UK must rejoin the EU urgently. Release the un-redacted Russia report. Kick Putin out of all Ukraine including Crimea. Living a dream in the South of France. Trump is making the USA an enemy of the entire world.

Kyle: “You know who’s extreme? The people protecting the Epstein pedophiles. The people waging 8 new wars as they lie and say Trump has stopped 8 wars. The people building concentration camps that ICE is using to shove immigrants in.” @kylekulinskishow.bsky.social
The MAGA regime is moving to dismiss their ridiculous Reflecting Pool criminal case against the Olympian they falsely accused of vandalism and admitted the shitty work done by the trashy contractor they hired. In other words, the assholes were going to lose this case miserably.
When you see maga degrading Dr Fauci remind them Trump awarded Dr. Anthony Fauci a Presidential Commendation on 1/19/21. Trump claims he doesn't know who gave Fauci presidential award. It was him. Issuing a Presidential Commendation requires official approval & sign-off from the president. #Pinks
Ukraine has disabled nearly half of Russia’s oil refining capacity through targeted operations, according to the Financial Times. FT analysis estimates that refineries struck by Ukrainian drones have lost around 45% of their nominal production capacity. #Ukraine
To be clear, the orange felon lied about vandalism at the Reflecting Pool to pretend he didn’t hire his fellow criminal fraud contractors to deliberately destroy it because he’s a hateful trashy jealous vindictive fuckwad. It wasn’t flawed work, it’s exactly what he wanted.

How can this be? Brazilian multinational JBS, the largest meat and processing company in Australia, topped the list of companies that paid no tax in 2023-24 despite 19 billion in revenue. We should be marching on Parliament. www.sbs.com.au/news/article...
How can this be? Indian conglomerate Adani will pay no company tax despite generating almost $1bn in revenue from coal mining in Queensland over the past year. We should be marching on Parliament. www.theguardian.com/business/202...
2024: Elon Musk spent $288 million to elect Trump… 2026: He's already at $90 million and counting… Two cycles. One party. Nearly $400 million from one man. The system is definitely rigged. Enjoy. 😎✨

So is ‘Labour Friends of Israel’ the club of Labour politicians invited by Israel for ‘fact finding tours’ of Israel… … who were then compromised by Mossad, as in Epstein files sex crimes, and are now subject to blackmail by Israel? Like they control Trump.
Climate change made deadly France and Spain wildfires far more likely, study finds www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...
Climate change made deadly France and Spain wildfires far more likely, study finds
Human-caused global warming made the hot, dry and windy conditions that fuelled the fires at least twice as likely in south-western France and at least 20 times as likely in central Spain
independent.co.uk
Loading the dice. The weather conditions driving the devastating fires in Spain were ~20× more likely because of human-caused climate change, and ~2× more likely in France. Of course, the spark matters...but the conditions decide the scale. www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-chan...

Falls in whale sightings, rare seabirds appearing – is something unusual happening in the Southern Ocean?
Could marine heatwaves in the cold Southern Ocean be making animals and birds migrate? It’s possible – but we need better monitoring to know.

‘Was this heatwave caused by climate change?’ – we’re asking the wrong question. The question isn't whether climate change caused the heatwave, but how much hotter and more dangerous heatwaves have become due to greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels. theconversation.com/was-this-hea...
‘Was this heatwave caused by climate change?’ – we’re asking the wrong question
Instead of asking whether climate change caused a heatwave, we should ask how much hotter it became because of fossil fuel emissions.

The leader of a failing political party is choosing to ignore, or is ignorant, of the fact the requirement to reach net zero to halt global warming is a conclusion from scientific research rather than a political programme. The conclusion was stated clearly in the IPCC 5th Assessment Report in 2013.
The Daily Telegraph ends its rollercoaster week of comment pieces about climate change with one by Kemi Badenoch, leader of the opposition Conservatives. Note how, yet again, she doesn't explain how she will "replace" the Climate Change Act. Just vibes about "markets, innovation and competition"
Republicans give Trump another hundred billion for his illegal war against Iran While they take billions away from Medicare-after having cut roughly $500 billion from the program already Trump recently said “I don’t think about American’s financial situations” We know #RepublicansCutHealthcare
Mike Johnson puts House Republicans on record for an extra $100 bn for Trump's Iran War, and Punchbowl News thinks this is a "big win" for him. They're analytically clueless.

In April, the Starmer government passed an Act of Parliament enabling the police to shut down any protest they deem to have a “cumulative” impact on the community. The only protests that have ever succeeded are those with a cumulative impact. Effective protest is now illegal.
