Dear Robert Peston
Here's a story worth investigating. Party leader, who breached the MPs code of conduct 17 times has faced no sanctions. Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards stated the breaches were inadvertent. WHY? £380k is a serious amount of money to 'forget'.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
ALT A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

I’ve never been more proud of my daughter than I am right now.
And it has nothing to do with tennis
(and trust me… papa is proud of those accomplishments too).
Without prompting.
Without encouragement.
Without nudging of any kind.
For her journalism course, she chose to write about the mask ban.
And then she asked if she could quote comments I made to the Board of Education a few weeks ago.
Not because I asked.
Not because I suggested it.
Because she’s paying attention.
Because she’s asking questions.
Because she understands that journalism is about truth, context, and courage—not comfort.
I’m just… incredibly proud.

NEW: Our investigation for @thenerve_news reveals not only that Peter Thiel’s Palantir is completely enmeshed in our critical national infrastructure.
It’s also the ‘cloud support’ for our nuclear weapons system

NASA Believes That Masks Work 😉😷
The crew has entered the 2-week isolation program designed to keep them from catching anything that could derail the mission
They can still see friends and family but with masks, distancing and a ban on public places

It is extraordinary that it is apparently cost-effective to vaccinate millions of CV people to prevent them becoming seriously ill with influenza, but somehow not cost-effective to vaccinate against a SARS virus which is known to have more serious outcomes for more people. (4/4)

If there’s one thing I know about Nigel Farage, because he’s SHOWED it to us for many years – in addition to him being a racist who’s happy to cultivate racism – it’s that he does nothing unless there’s something in it for him. Nothing.

So KB dislikes the letter E: that's de rigueur for Cons & RefUKers. More disturbing is that she takes the US in 2025 as evidence for not needing treaties to buttress human rights. Its Bill of Rights has proven vulnerable. The UK lacks even that and wd give up ECHR at its peril.

Ukraine has passed the screening process to be able to join the EU.
This means Ukraine is another step closer to being an EU Member state. There has been so much work going on in the background to get this done.
👏👏👏 Some really good news 👏👏👏

Carl was dying during this interview in 1996, fighting cancer, head partially shaven.
But so deeply concerned about what he saw - plain as day - like a slow freight train - heading our way. If we had only listened and internalized his message.

"No more climate change worship", Hegseth tells US military leaders 🙄.
They know better.
I know that, having been invited to speak at a NATO workshop on Climate Change Security.
Climate science is not woke or religion or whatever, it’s physics.
It got two physics Nobel prizes.

Funny, isn’t it? It’s a HUGE story. Concrete proof of Russian penetration of an influential right wing European party with the obvious aim of destabilisation. It ought to be making banner headlines. It ought to lead to a thorough & extensive criminal investigation with raids, seizures & bank account freezes.
But for some reason, that’s not happening.

A president, not yet a dictator, told the nation in his first address that he wouldn’t let the country’s media to be turned into “outlets for disinformation and a means of waging war against the state.” That was Putin on July 8, 2000. Sound familiar? Read my latest 👇

The Northern Pacific Ocean is currently smashing temperature records.
And it is reaching these levels far earlier than the current generation of climate models had expected.

Less than one percent of seats in Parliament. But featured in a quarter of news bulletins.
That's some impartiality right there BBC 👀
