To be clear, this is not the Raise the Colours founder who killed a man in Lichfield; nor is he the one who used to sell sex dolls of people's dead spouses; nor is he the member charged with making indecent images of children; nor is he the organiser convicted and jailed for human trafficking.

It seems a very apposite time to ask Richard Tice to explain why he needs to head a company with no employees and no products, that appears to do nothing other than receive large amounts of money which it then swiftly transfers to the accounts of Reform Ltd.

The fallout from the collapse of this glacier - a torrent of mud surging down the valley - killed hundreds of people. Gone, in a flash. Those people were wiped out by anthropogenic climate change. Our governments are simply not responding quickly enough to this disaster which is already upon us.

An incredibly well-timed Landsat 9 pass captured the effects of yesterday’s catastrophic glacier collapse near the Nepal–Tibet border. The event was so massive that it was detected by seismometers around the world.

Devastated by this having worked in the mountains of Nepal. Shocked at the speed of climate change here. The snow line has retreated so fast. These rivers feed huge populations of people downstream. We have to take this crisis seriously.

People can "just adapt" to a changing climate, a thousand rightwing voices keep telling us. Either they lack imagination or they don't care. Try "adapting" to this. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

The BBC giving a man who has resigned from Parliament a ridiculous amount of airtime to peddle impractical ideas

True, but we all know they won't. Three ex-Southern Water execs are in the dock at the moment for falsifying test results (I think) I'd like to see them made an example of but as importantly, I'd like to see prosecutors take the chance to obtain all S. Water emails and comms to investigate crimes.
