Illegal trapping kills more than 700,000 songbirds in Cyprus in autumn 2025 More than 700,000 migratory songbirds were illegally killed in Cyprus last autumn, according to a new survey that highlights stark contrasts in enforcement and a growing link with organised crime.

An estimated 726,000 migratory songbirds were illegally trapped and killed in Cyprus during autumn 2025, according to a new report:

Shocking. Birders should boycott Cyprus.

Kaja Kallas: We stand before an opportunity. Europe can step onto the global stage united and strong, or resign ourselves to the sidelines.

There's no reason for Iran to attack NATO nation Turkey—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it.

There's no reason for Iran to attack a UK base in Cyprus—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it.

Now Azerbaijan has been attacked. Iran denies involvement.

I think this is Israel.

The Gaza genocidal playbook is being repeated in Iran.

Donald Trump has admitted what Keir Starmer won’t: this illegal war is being fought for Israel and its expansionist Zionist ambitions across the Middle East.

Not in our name.

Pretty funny that Michael Gove is dunking on me now he’s editor of the Spectator to promote its ‘bias-free’ reporting when as a politician he wouldn’t answer any of my press inquiries on the massive Brexit fraud he oversaw as Vote Leave’s co-convener

The funding gap between Reform UK and the Greens is astounding.

New Electoral Commission stats today reveal the reportable donations in Q4 2025:

🟢 Green Party: £189,010
🟣 Reform UK: £5,456,000

Greens are bringing in barely 3.5% of Reform UK's large donations - but still polling around 20%.

Inside the Pro-Israel Campaign to Stop ‘The Voice of Hind Rajab’ From Winning an Oscar A group led by top Hollywood executives and linked to the Israeli government is trying to smear a film about a little girl killed by Israeli forces.

I hope this gets more people to see this important and heartbreaking movie.

Bullying people won't work. People have a genocide in real time on their phones and a majority of Americans want it to end.

The common denominator between Trump and Russia, Trump and Epstein, Trump and Argentina, Trump and UAE, Trump and crypto, Trump in media manipulation, Trump and social media control, Trump and GOP obedience, Trump and establishment Dems, Trump and the presidency. Is Israel. Do the math.

So true. Western governments and media in thrall to Israel. No wonder the Green Party doing so well in UK. The people here are pro Palestinian and anti Israeli genocide but unfortunately our Labour and Tory politicians are funded by Friends of Israel.

A plausible alternative - and a refreshing one too that is not bank rolled by Friends of Israel and not obliged to constantly bend to Israel’s will. Greens acting in our interest not Israel’s or billionaires.

We were promised a historically competent Pentagon, and were told that we could judge how competent the Pentagon was going to be by how many pull-ups Pete Hegseth could do and the fact that soldiers would stop wearing beards.

Turns out these toxic turds can't even read maps.

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey:

"Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".

3 U.S. Planes Are Shot Down in ‘Friendly Fire’ in Kuwait, U.S. Military Says

What an utter disaster Trump's War is.

And who would have guessed, with fourth-string former junior high school quarterback turned town wino Pete Kegstand at the helm.

May God protect our troops—God knows this White House doesn't give a shit about them.

The new Iranian leader just wrote:

“TRUMP HAS BETRAYED AMERICA FIRST TO ADOPT ISRAEL FIRST. It is indeed very sad that he is sacrificing American treasure and blood to advance Netanyahu’s illegitimate expansionist ambitions.”

Do any Americans—of any political stripe—disagree?

Bibliophobia is a fear of books. What’s it called when you fear that the stack of mindfulness books on your other half’s side of the bed will fall on you and cause injury? She probably fears my stack of bedside books equally
