On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂↕️

We look at pigeons and call them dirty. We look at sharks and call them dangerous. But maybe the problem isn’t them. Maybe it’s the way we see them. Every creature on this planet is trying to survive. Every animal has a place in the story of life — including the ones we misunderstand.

Crop yields down, our countryside scorched and over 2800 people are dead due to this summer's heatwaves. Meanwhile fossil fuel giants are raking in record profits. We must end this rampant profiteering, and cut fossil fuels from our energy mix as soon as possible.

BREAKING: The newly elected Prime Minister of Hungary announced that Netanyahu will be arrested if he enters Hungary.
Direct, full-time jobs opening Rosebank oilfield would create: 450 D, f-t jobs opening Jackdaw gasfield would create: 27 D, f-t jobs in UK's net-zero economy: 300,000 + 400,000 more on the way D, f-t jobs in the rest of the green economy: 600,000 Is that really the hill Burnham wants to die on?
Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.
French forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story. It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war. These fuckers really are vile bastards 😡😡
1/3 The dangers of the NHS's £330m contract with Palantir are well known. A subscription-based contract that leaves the NHS without meaningful ownership. Lock-in to a single supplier that risks future price gouging. Critical health infrastructure dependent on a shady spy-tech company.
The same people who have been telling us "we can't stop climate change, instead we must adapt" have been hammering our capacity to adapt, through their promotion of austerity. What they're really saying is "keep burning fossil fuels for the sake of our donors". www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The greatest gift we can leave future generations isn’t money it’s a healthy planet. Protect forests today, so life can thrive tomorrow. There is no Planet B.
Very disappointing from the new Prime Minister, very much sounding like the previous PM. These are among the world’s most vulnerable and desparate people. They need safe routes and humanity from responsible politicians, not grandstanding. This isn’t doing politics differently.
Who could have possibly foreseen that unelected prime minister Andy Burnham would have been another right wing bigot?
Burnham pledges to be 'relentless' in curbing small boat crossings
The PM says enforcement is being increased but there also need to be more safe routes into the UK.

Every single second, the world hands $6,000 to the fossil fuel industry in subsidies. That’s $5 TRILLION every year. Renewables? Barely a fraction of that. We are literally paying to cook our own planet. When does this madness stop? 🌍💸 #ClimateCrisis #FossilFuels
This is Pepe le Pew. He has been to the beach many times over the years, but still gets just as excited about it. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (TT: pepedog808)
Fed up with having to repeat this but when politicians and the MSM say "there is no money” they are LYING to us. The UK is a sovereign government with its own bank. It can create as much money as it needs. No money is the excuse for unending #Austerity. #LearnMMT
