War photos from Ukraine YouTube video by Mark Northfield / Cherry Mint Koala

A tribute to Ukrainian bravery, resilience and sacrifice.

The official website of Ukraine has a collection of war photos. This video is a selection set to music, using a piece I put out last Feb combining the European and Ukrainian anthems. 🎧

Is this story real?🤔
Or is this just an orchestrated way of keeping Reform in the news headlines?
Let’s face it the worst thing for Reform, Farage & Musk is to be ignored & invisible! Farage & Musk live for the limelight!🤔

There are more than a million British people with Pakistani heritage in the UK.

For the Shadow Home Secretary to suggest they have an "alien" and "medieval" culture and to smear them by association with the crimes of a tiny minority, is the politics of the far-right gutter.

Why I'm quitting the Washington Post Democracy can't function without a free press

“As an editorial cartoonist, my job is to hold powerful people & institutions accountable. For the first time, my editor prevented me from doing that critical job..I will not stop holding truth to power through my cartooning.. “Democracy dies in darkness” 👏

"Enemies within"

Abhorrent language from former Tory MP Marco Longhi here as he joins Reform.

Pity Farage wasn’t asked about this - he should be forced to own it @bbclaurak.bsky.social @theneweuropean.bsky.social

Thank you Colin and a Happy New Year!

Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid: “Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s. Over half of those deported were US citizens.”

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

How restoring rivers' natural curves can prevent flooding For centuries meandering rivers have been straightened – but experts say restoring their natural bends and curves can prevent flooding and create healthy habitats for wildlife.

👏 “A lot of nature conservation is a long game. You plant a tree, you're not going to in your lifetime see that it reached its full potential. But within three months of that river being re-wiggled the salmon were spawning in that one kilometre stretch for the first time in over 150 years”

Germany on brink of far-right political earthquake The far-right Alternative for Germany is set to do very well in state elections in the east.

A warning for the world from Germany.

Tweet by Elon Musk (@elonmusk) features the words: "propaganda isn't just about creating fake news. it's also about hiding real news." Reply by Kevin Miller (@THEKevinFMiller) I'm guessing this outline of your company's business plan was supposed to be an "internal memo"?

Sissy Spacex says the quiet part out loud.

I'm old enough to remember when a computer didn't automatically connect to the internet, it used to make a screaming noise. We should have listened.

This is just beautiful...
