Between Feb 2023 and January 2024, for a whole year, the threshold of 1.5° was breached.

Climate change is an exponential change !

It said the following would not be given any special treatment:

1. Victims of human trafficking

2. Those who fought in wars alongside us

Cruel, evil bastards aren't they. (rhet)

Two women and one man were kept at a police station for hours on Saturday. These three people arrested were volunteers with the Night Stars programme, which is run by Westminster City Council.

The rape alarms are handed out by the volunteers as part of their efforts to "promote women's safety and reduce violence against women and girls", according to the council's website.

The tragic peril of the missing tourist Titanic divers is not diminished by the loss of 500 refugees in the Mediterranean.

#Fujitsy boss is asked at Trade Select Committee: "Can you tell us how much you think your company should contribute to the compensation scheme,"

Blah blah blah

"Is there a moral obligation for your company to contribute,"

Blah blah

"I've just read your last set of accounts, and you have not made any provision for compensation"

NB Fujitsu made 2 4 billion pounds from their post office deal alone

NB2 The deal was made by Peter Lilley, the Tory trade secretary in 1995

Farmers in tractors are protesting in Whitehall because of cheap food imports

They are saying substandard imports of food, some of which is grown with chemicals, is undercutting the market.

Now, if only we were members of a common European Agricultural Policy where quality and price were determined, we and they might be better off.

Oh, wait ....

Just had a #Tory knock on my door trying to get my vote

He explained how under Labour unemployment was at its highest. I reminded him of Thatcher

He then suggested the infamous note 'the country was broke' was indicative of how Labour mismanaged the economy. I reminded him how a country cannot run out of money and of Liz Truss's time in government

He ended his conversation by saying I need to read some history books

I called him a patronising tosser & told him to fuck off

#UNWRA has its funding for the Gazans cut

This means NO AID whatsoever will go into that #Palestinian enclave all the while winter bites more and more

And this happens the day after the ICJ orders Israel not to interfere with the application of humanitarian aid.

There's something wrong here

The Post Office had a covert operations team called Project Sparrow and Cameron knew all about it.

Newly released documents show that Post Office chiefs secretly ditched forensic accountants who found problems in the Horizon IT system – with the full knowledge of David Cameron’s coalition government.
