Call off the King’s visit to the US for the 250th anniversary of America's independence With the current political chaos in the US and Trump’s failure to adhere to international norms, and given his apparent obsession with the Monarchy, calling off this visit would send a powerful messag...

Unbelievable. King Charles is STILL set to fly to the US to celebrate with Trump in April. With everything Trump is saying and doing right now - and the hate and chaos he's spreading - this trip must be cancelled. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

Pentagon Refuses to Say If AI Was Used to Select Elementary School as Bombing Target Did the US military use Anthropic's Claude to select targets in its weekend operations in Iran, with devastating results?

Sánchez’s principled stand against Trump matters. So does Merz’s silence Spain’s leader has taken a strong position in refusing the US demand to use Spanish bases to strike Iran. Europe should show solidarity in the face of Trump’s threats.

An illegal war for the sake of spectacle and the amusement of POTUS.

I'm dismayed by rumours govt may scrap the windfall tax on oil and gas giants

With energy bills still driving cost of living pressures, it's senseless to cut taxes for highly profitable polluters, who already receive £2.7bn per year in tax breaks

We’re not their most important ally. We have barely been in the top 10 most important allies since the 1970s.

Right now, we’re not even allies. The US is a liability and a pain in the arse. We can’t distance ourselves fast enough.

Brilliant. An expat im Dubai has a startling revelation, by @stephencollins.bsky.social

Somebody missed an awful lot of school.

Honestly the collective national level of disdain for Brits living in Dubai on all my social media platforms today really is bringing the UK together as one in a way that's hard to achieve in the modern era.

12? You flatter him.

Every month the United States provides even more reason to boycott its products and companies — the strikes on Iran being just the latest.

In light of that, it’s a great time to ditch the products and services of US tech companies. I made a comprehensive guide to help you.

Wondering what the ‘Board of Peace’ will have to say about this.

Anthropic: We lost a contract because we refuse to build Skynet.

OpenAI: We'll do it

So the Telegraph is taking this well

Ukrainian pilots of the 28th Mechanized Brigade documented Russian phosphorus attacks on residential buildings in Kostyantynivka, immediately followed by a FAB-1500 strike. Official estimates show about 2000 civilians still in the city.

Oil pollution in UK waters far worse than reported, says conservation group ‘Opaque’ recording system means recorded volume of everyday oil pollution over the past decade should be increased by 43%, according to Oceana report

A lot of UK oil extraction is done out at sea, out of sight, out of mind. @oceanauk.bsky.social works to raise awareness of the harm oil pollution is causing to wildlife in our waters.

Weird they dragged in Hillary Clinton when there's another First Lady right there in the White House who actually knew Jeffrey Epstein.

Well, that’s pleasing to hear.

What, you don’t think seasoned diplomats will respect her experience as a nude model?

I imagine you must all having someone with a reading age in double digits.

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

Despite what some muddled media commentators and journos say, Populism isn’t policy prescriptive, it’s just a campaign style. It’s about getting elected, it says nothing about governing, except the style of government. That’s where the fascism comes in.

"So will it be the same act but with a different label?"

Victoria Derbyshire humiliates Zia Yusuf on Reform UK's plan to scrap the Equalities Act, because, as she reads each of the things from the Equalities act he confirms they'll still be protected 🤷‍♂️
