Al Gore:

“This is the most corrupt administration not only in American history, but more corrupt than I could ever have imagined a president would be able to get away with to the extent that he has. It’s shocking to me.”

I saw this film last night in St Albans Abbey, which has stood on that spot for almost 1000 years. I’m not religious, but the setting, as well as viewing it with scores of other ordinary people, really drove home the urgency of what we face. Very powerful new way of communicating the climate crisis

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

Hang on, are they doing this for every party? Still wrong, obvs

Daily Mail’s Brexit poll spectacularly backfires Not what the Mail expected...

👀🇪🇺 "The Mail may have been expecting its own readers to back Brexit, however early indications of the poll put 73% of respondents as saying Britain should rejoin the EU because it’s better for the economy.

"As time went on, this number grew to 84%."

If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?

Big Oil Breaks Everything The planet, our democracy, our courts...

Who does this description of Kaiser Wilhelm II remind you of? (Written by Christopher Clark in 2015).

A bombshell new report reveals that top military officials have kept Trump out of the room during Iran war operations because they fear his erratic behavior will put troops in harm’s way.

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

“I can’t risk my life for a sandwich”: A day watching shoplifters at Greggs "No pastries?" said one thief as she cleared the shelves and asked staff for further supplies.

This is such a brilliant bit of reporting by @jim.londoncentric.media and @londoncentric.media: www.londoncentric.media/p/greggs-sho...

This section of the @washingtonpost.com really captures why women are enraged right now and how the system keeps allowing women to die and be assaulted. I’m HOT today so here’s a thread explaining why.

Here’s the ad promoting the new Peter Thiel backed startup, Objection, where AI will allegedly determine the veracity of journalists’ claims. It looks like they took the ad down, but I screen grabbed it when I could still access it from a QT by right wing Christian investor Nate Fischer. 1/

Trump’s team repeatedly tried to intervene over Mandelson appointment Two people tell POLITICO that the initial response to the controversial ambassadorial appointment was deeply skeptical, despite eventual assent.
