Surely they would have reposted rather than cut and pasted.

I wonder if a drone has hit Dubai Marina. Or whether it was just
debris from a successful interception.
If only loads of Dubai based accounts, including Isabel Oakeshott's, could tell me.
It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

In the second half of 2025, one man accounted for almost 40% of all money donated to political parties in the UK: a crypto-billionaire who lives in Thailand.
Britain desperately needs to rewrite its party funding rules.

Tate was trying to get to Dubai on a bus.
When they got to the Saudi border everyone was told to get off for passport and baggage checks and Tate decided to stay on - presumably because the bus was air conditioned and he didn't want to stand in a queue.
He then got detained by Saudi guards.
Jennie Daly, chief executive of Taylor Wimpey, has warned that the absence of any support for first-time buyers means the government's 1.5 million new homes target looks "increasingly challenged" (Tom Howard writes). Daly said she wanted to build more homes but could not justify doing so unless there was more demand, particularly from first-time buyers. The developer said its output this year was unlikely to increase by much and it was targeting between 10,600 and 11,000 homes in 2026 compared with just under 10,600 in 2025. "That's really low growth and not what we want," Daly, 55, said. "We

Umm. "Wealth is not unevenly distributed in Europe"? Sorry, you have lost all credibility
Unfortunately these already rich countries in the north are the ones that need most energy in the winter. Plus, that wealth is extremely unevenly distributed - the poor and vulnerable are hit hardest.
Hi! Immigration lawyer here! Mahmood's view of the Refugee Convention as providing temporary protection just isn’t correct & AFAIK isn’t one anyone has ever adopted.
On the contrary, the Convention is clearly predicated on a long-term need for protection.

These are the scenes at Mercure Nottingham City Centre Hotel. Sickening use of deadly bird netting that ends up with birds trapped and starving to death. Police have been contacted.
Please sign the petition calling on the hotel to end the use of netting: protectthewild.org.uk/mercure-hote...
Solar and batteries cannot be the whole answer, especially in regions with limited sunshine. Batteries not yet capable of storing energy overnight and certainly can't address the problem in winter, when energy demands are highest.
The extract of the article reads: "A senior NHS official privately urged colleagues to add more patient data into a Palantir-built platform at the same time as he was being paid to advise the US technology company. Matthew Swindells has been joint chair of four major hospital trusts in north-west London since April 2022 and has also since then acted as an adviser to Palantir through the now-defunct lobbying firm Global Counsel, which was co-founded by Lord Peter Mandelson."

Bats provide critical ecosystem services. #Bats 🦇 prevent crop damage and can help reduced insecticide use, three examples:

"The CIA is working to arm Kurdish forces with the aim of fomenting a popular uprising in Iran." But there is a long history of the US government fomenting Kurdish uprisings and then abandoning the Kurds to violent repression. Remember Iraq.

Mason's antagonism to Starmer is always on show. Will the BBC do anything about it though?
A new analysis of 95 posts by BBC political editor Chris Mason suggests the issue may not be accuracy – but framing.
No single headline is inaccurate. Impartiality rules appear unbroken. But repeated talk of “predicament”, “backlash” & “U-turn” frames a misleading story of permanent crisis..
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Globally, mycorrhizal fungal communities move roughly a billion tons of carbon per year into Earth's soils, above all in old-growth forests.
Wild, natural ecosystems are the bedrock of a healthy planet. It's time we started recognising and acting on that.
