Thank you, Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Iceland locks in on date for EU referendum | Euractiv As a member of the European Economic Area, Iceland is already aligned with much of the bloc's legislation

Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August.

A reminder: 🇮🇸 is in many ways already a non-voting 🇪🇺 member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.

Labour urged to listen to progressive voters or face ‘political earthquake’ in London Exclusive: Senior party figures share data suggesting Green surge could put Labour in fourth place in capital in May

“The dead end of McSweeneyism must be abandoned before it’s too late. When Labour focuses on the cost of living we can start to win back the progressive defectors we’ve lost and unite the coalition we need.” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This man is a complete fool. Why do people keep repeating what he says and disseminating his silly ideas. There’s a crazy man who rides on my bus who has more sensible ideas than this idiot.

On the same day President Obama just gave an absolutely stirring and eloquent eulogy for one of the great fighters for equality, Reverend Jesse Jackson. The difference could not be more extreme or distressing.

Children’s TV industry is failing. Public service broadcasters are the only ones investing in children’s programmes.

Kamala Harris: "I predicted a lot about what's happening right now. I'm not here to say 'I told you so,' but we did see it coming."

From my POV this week Starmer has a strong evidence point that it's a damned good thing he's the PM and not either of the two leading opposition candidates hoping to replace him.

Kemi Badenoch urged to apologise for 'insulting' British armed forces

Kemi Badenoch has been accused of insulting British servicemen and women after claiming RAF jets are "just hanging around" as the Iran crisis deepens.

Yes you did,

Absolutely! I don’t care, so why would I bother looking?

one thing I like saying to my cats in admonishment is "you know the rules" when they very clearly do not know and will never know the rules

New sentence I have just spoken aloud to a cat: "Act like you've been here before."

"There's Your President" MAGA and THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!

Sorry, I can't HEAR your OUTRAGE. 👂

Have you LOST Your Voice? 😏

Don't WORRY, Fox News & Newsmax will help Him "Whitewash" it for you Brain Dead Morons! 🤢

Rev. Jesse Jackson’s Memorial Service

All the “heavyweights” attended.

For over 130 years, women in the humanist movement have been a radical voice for progress. This #WomensHistoryMonth we celebrate all brave the women who risked everything speaking up for humanism or challenging the influence of religion in society. 🧵

The hard right is claiming the cross – and true Christians should not allow it | Polly Toynbee British church leaders have finally spoken out about the dangerous rise of Christian nationalism. But their message was far too timid, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

We’ve raised the alarm about how the new rise of Christian Nationalism, imported from the US, threatens the progress that generations of women fought so hard to secure. By seeking to impose religious dogma on public law, these movements endanger women’s freedoms. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Don’t tell me women are not capable of achieving great things!

Pace of global warming has nearly doubled since 2015, reveals study - Carbon Brief An acceleration in human-caused global warming could see the Paris Agreement’s 1.5C limit breached before...

I'm not suggesting this is an open secret within the climate science community, but it's remarkable how little impact this sort of research is generating. Because if the rate of warming really has *doubled* then you can kiss goodbye to 2°C. www.carbonbrief.org/pace-of-glob...

The greatest orator of our times

My favourite!

Today's to-do list.

Burn Wessex to the ground.

Subjugate the pesky Welsh.

Slaughter the Danes.

Drink wine.

Tomorrow's to-do list.

Burn Wessex to the ground.

Subjugate the pesky Welsh.

Slaughter the Danes.

Sharpton: "We're still here! We've come this far by faith. It was against the law to read and write! It was against the law to marry, but we've come this far by faith. I don't care what they do in Washington, I care what we do in the community. We've beat people bigger than Trump!"

All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Respect recognizes respect.

Badenoch has announced today the Tories will restore the two child benefit cap.

#NeverVoteConservative

Iran Crisis: They Wanted Sovereignty. Just Not Like This If anyone has ruined the special relationship, it's not Starmer- it's Trump

No legal basis. No clear objective. No exit. And much of Britain’s political class spent the week calling Starmer a coward for noticing.

Latest substack from me.

Some gold from the Staffordshire Hoard which was discovered in 2009 near the village of Hammerwich in Staffordshire - the largest collection of Anglo-Saxon gold & silver metalwork ever found. This item is from the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery in Stoke. 📸 My own. #FindsFriday

Órban’s crazy and wicked.

What might the EU do?

Trump is rolling back sanctions on Russia so they can sell their oil, because of course he is.

Yes, we will start to see stories about all these men who are baffled that nobody wants to marry them!🤣

Watch Trump become the first world leader to demand the “unconditional surrender” of an enemy while denying he’s in a war with that enemy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
