After Orbán spent years shielding Netanyahu from the ICC…Hungary’s new PM Péter Magyar says he will arrest Netanyahu if he visits Budapest.
Magyar is reversing course on day one. Hungary stays in the ICC. The warrant gets enforced. Period. 👏👏

"For 55 years, the Southern Poverty Law Center has stood as a beacon of hope fighting white supremacy and various forms of injustice to create a multi-racial democracy where we can all live and thrive,” Fair said. (cont.)
This so gross.

Trump family name is being scrubbed from his crypto grift World Liberty Financial and it is waaaaay bigger than just crypto corruption.
We aren't angry enough.
Meanwhile, methane turbines set up by Musk to power the plant emit:
- cancer-causing formaldehyde
- nitrogen oxides linked to heart + breathing conditions + increased hospital admissions
People's water stolen, air choked, to feed the ravenous appetite of AI:

A water recycling plant Elon Musk promised to build in Memphis to offset the huge amount of local drinking water Grok's data centre devours has been postponed indefinitely.
Apparently, Musk considers drinking water for local people less of a priority than increasing computing power for Grok👇🏾
If nothing else, the decision to sack Robbins, when he didn't need to, must rank as one of the most absurd acts of political self-harm any prime minister has yet committed. All of this eminently foreseeable.

Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned.

It gets worse: No 10 also tried to get Matthew Doyle - a close friend of Mandelson - a job working for him in DC.
Remember - Doyle was asked by PM to investigate Mandelson's responses about links to Jeffrey Epstein & concluded he was "satisfied".
A *clear* conflict of interests.
YES!
In 2023, a former U.S. Virgin Islands AG told the FBI:
• Epstein’s lawyer and accountant were part of his human trafficking operation
• VI Governor tried to shut down the AG's investigation
• Get the AG’s case file for evidence
VI AG Denise George got fired...

Betrayal?? Brexit was the greatest betrayal of this country ever, bar none.
"Of 22 sites being held on a waiting list, before designation, 14 were at risk from development. That's 64% of potential SSSI's, and the wildlife living within them, at risk of being lost."

WHY DID BBC BREAKFAST GIVE REFORM UK A SPECIAL GRAPHIC?
A small detail in a brief report sparks some big questions about what the national broadcaster is doing during the run up to local and national elections.

Khanna to Maria Bartiromo: "Barack Obama was a great statesman who left America much safer. I wouldn't put Donald Trump in the same paragraph. Obama actually did his homework ... all Donald Trump did is listen to Netanyahu. That's his entire foreign policy."

The Mandelson affair, obv. I’m dreading the upcoming drama in H of C, as everyone parades faux outrage. The appointment was a complete cock-up. No-one emerges well. It’s possible rules were followed, AND bad decisions taken, AND this is not the end of all days. I dread Badenoch’s posturing most.
Literally devastating news
And almost certainly even worse because the models don't include the effects of huge volumes of Greenland meltwater pouring into the North Atlantic at a rate of 30 million tonnes AN HOUR

Thames Water infrastructure average age is 79 yrs. 40% of assets are 100+ yrs old.
Water industry average is 56 years.
At current rate, it will take 700+ yrs to renew assets.
Since 1989 industry neglected investment, £88bn+ dividends paid, customers fleeced.
Privatisation isn't the answer.
The Bishop of Palm Beach asserts that Trump's attacks on the Pope violate the constitution. "These attacks also constitute a grave violation of the religious freedom enshrined in the Constitution of the United States and, as such, harm the rights of the American Catholic faithful."
This is great news, but certainly a challenge for manufacturers.
For shame.

The Strait of Hormuz + surrounding seas are critical ecologically as well as politically.
Coral reefs, whale sharks, dolphins, endangered Arabian humpback whales, seagrass meadows supporting dugons, islands harbouring green turtles - just some of the creatures + ecosystems in + near the Strait.
