🎯 by @ellabaron.bsky.social The abuse directed towards RNLI volunteers is horrendous. Solidarity with RNLI volunteers. They are doing incredible work.

Born the year WWII ended. Lived through an era of optimism when you could wake up in the morning and be hopeful about the day. Now saddened by the gratuitous acts of self harm inflicted upon future generations by the gross incompetence of our Politicians
Andrei Federov, Former Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia advised that measures will be taken against the UK for supporting Ukraine. He was told that the measures proposed would be contrary to International Law. He said no one cares about International Law anymore, right out of the Trump playbook.
The inadequates Kushner and Whitkoff were negotiating a nuclear deal with the Iranians in Pakistan when Netanyahu flew into the White House and left without fanfare and Trump ordered the attack on Iran while they were talking. Facts, truth, reality and evidence don’t figure in Trump’s fevered brain.
Just heard about the unanimous decision by UEFA to boycott future FIFA competitions. Just goes to prove that “Everything Trump Touches Dies”.
Trump vows retaliation for the deaths of American servicemen that he sent to an illegal war on instructions from Netanyahu. Surely he got his retaliation in first when he murdered 190 school children and countless other Iranians.
@cnn.com Watching Trump at the NATO summit in Ankara and I’m terrified. The man is completely insane, he is rambling and making totally ridiculous statements, claims and threatening the world using words that only a power drunk madman would use. Please America get rid of him.
Trump is holding a press conference at the G7 as I post this. It is absolutely clear that the man is dangerously insane.
Sir David Attenborough is a national hero 💚🌍 To celebrate his 100th birthday and all he’s done to inspire us to protect our planet, he should be honored with a permanent statue. Agree? Join me by signing @JohannaBaxter MP’s petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...
He’s brought the natural world into our hearts and homes for decades, and fought to protect our planet.
We should honour him properly with a statue to show our appreciation for everything he’s done for us 🌍💚

Trump is right, today he destroyed a civilisation. It wasn’t a 7000 year old civilisation it was a 250 year old civilisation. No one will consider the USA civil again.
Is the Civilisation that Trump says will end at 20:00 tonight the United States of America. Because if he carries out his threat no one will regard America as a civilised country again.
I’m now more convinced than ever that Trump Vance and the rest are completely devoid of any kind of self awareness. Vance is standing alongside Victor Orban praising him saying he has come to give his and Trump’s support just before the election complaining about foreign interference in elections.
Would anyone care to explain why in the World Happiness Survey by Country the happiest countries are also the countries with the highest levels of taxation.
So Zahawi is not content with crashing the economy and the reputation of the UK under Truss is now wanting to complete the job with that other charlatan Farage
Doge cuts cost US taxpayers $10bn to cover workers’ paid leave, analysis finds. Who would have guessed? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Analysis estimates Trump administration ‘wasted’ billions to compensate over 154,000 federal employees on leave

Trump has no regard for international law - and openly admits so. We can't rely on Trump's America; we need closer relations with the EU. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/08/trump-power-international-law
‘I don’t need international law’: Trump says power constrained only by ‘my own morality’
President says morality ‘the only thing that can stop me’ in New York Times interview on limits to his authority

@cnn.com Every Navy in the world decommissioned Battleships because in modern warfare they became known as the snipers or missile firers dream.
@cnn.com Why would Zalenskyy accept Putin/Trumps plan when the USA and signatories including Russia have completely and utterly reneged on the Budapest Memorandum 1994.
Mel Stride on Sunday with Lara Kuensberg. I find the lack of self awareness and ability to self select facts truth and evidence unbelievable. He said the Civil Service is too big and has grown since 2016. He’s forgotten we needed 50,000 more Civil Servants to deal with the Post Brexit Burocracy
The Nobel Committee are awarding the 2025 Peace Prize tomorrow 10th. This will go badly wrong whichever way it goes.
Moldova’s vote is a clear yes to a European future. Despite Russia’s massive efforts to spread disinformation and buy votes, no force can stop a people committed to freedom. We stand with Moldova on their path to the EU.
England are the winners of the Women’s World Cup Rugby, but there have been no losers throughout the entire Competition. The fun the happiness and spirit the supporters have experienced has made everyone a winner.
Not sure that in the world of nausea I’ve ever heard anything more nauseating than what’s happening in Arizona.
"One apparent constant in contemporary UK politics is Nigel Farage’s ability to mobilise a sense of grievance among those who regard themselves as English... His ability to drag the other parties onto his terrain is a classic success story of what political scientists call issue salience."
Nigel Farage and the political power of English grievance
The Conservatives and Labour have allowed resentment to fester in the biggest part of the UK – and the only region not to have its own parliament

Reform UK are yelling “drill, baby, drill” 🙄 But fracking is reckless & won’t even cut bills. Time to end this nonsense. Tell Ed Miliband: BAN FRACKING permanently. Add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ke...
Keep fracking out of Britain!
I live in Lincolnshire, and a new gas field has been found nearby. Reform UK are already shouting “drill, baby, drill,” and fracking isn’t banned - it’s only paused. That means they could start drilli...

#RWC2025 I think it would be a great move if the Women’s Six Nations Rugby Tournament becomes the Eight Nations and includes Canada and Spain.
