I had a magical experience with a bumblebee yesterday. I saw her on the bike path and thought she was a goner, she couldn’t move her front legs but I still didn’t want her squished so I tried bringing her to a flower and she starting eating! But the coolest thing was… 1/

I’m generally minded to think that if Reform field hundreds of highly competent candidates then they’d be worth electing at the next election. But if this is the calibre of person they choose for a critical by-election, it doesn’t bring much hope.

Led By Donkeys do it again 😭👏👏👏👏

Immigration makes Britain brilliant ❤️

Let’s make this go viral 👇

Smaller than the Irish county of Galway, the occupied West Bank has over 900 military checkpoints, barriers and roadblocks.

Illegal settlers steal the land, live under Israeli law and are protected by the @IDF.

Palestinians live under military law.

What I am witnessing here is shocking.

For those who don't know.

Gaza now has the highest rate of children with amputated limbs in all of modern history.

Something you stand before with great sadness and shock,

not a passing news story.

Brain scans are revealing early dementia-like changes in kids and teens from heavy screen use.

60 Minutes Australia reported toddlers spending just 2–3 hours daily on devices already show abnormal white matter development. Teens averaging 6–8 hours display widened brain ridges and thinning in key areas — patterns that mirror early Alzheimer’s.

Excessive screens appear to weaken neural pathways that normally strengthen through real-world movement, play, and face-to-face interaction.

We’re also seeing the first IQ drops in recorded history, plus a nearly 400% rise in early-onset dementia signs among 35–44 year olds. Correlation, not proven causation — but devices are the major new variable.

This is one of those reports that makes you rethink default habits. The convenience of screens is undeniable, but the potential long-term brain impacts on developing kids are hard to ignore.

We may be unintentionally running a massive experiment on the next generation’s cognitive health.

Are we underestimating the risks of heavy screen time, or is this concern overblown?

The Israelis destroyed an UNESCO protected centuries-old heritage site that is believed to be the burial place of Saint Peter, a shrine revered by both Christians and Muslims.

In Chamaa, Lebanon.

They hate our history bc they have none.

Organisers of a Gaza-bound aid mission say their vessels are being intercepted by Israeli military speedboats in Greek waters west of Crete, more than 1,000km from Israel.

Crew members of the Global Sumud Flotilla say communications have been jammed and an SOS issued.

I resigned as U.S. Ambassador Ukraine when Trump kept siding with Putin over our democratic partner. Now, my successor is doing the same.

I knew I had to speak out and run for office because siding with dictators is just not who we are.

[John O’Brennan @JohnOBrennan2]

Extraordinary that any journalist has to say this. Christina Lamb is one of the most respected foreign correspondents in the world.

She has to say it because it is true: Israel, in particular, is getting away with murdering journalists on a regular basis and with impunity.

standing ovation after King Charles sings the praises of NATO and says "that same unyielding resolve is needed for the defense of Ukraine"

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Excellent speech by King Charles. So good to hear the clarion cry for Ukraine, for NATO, for nature and the environment, for democracy and the checks on power. JFK mentioned more than Trump. Starmer directly quoted. Europe mentioned several times. Vance looked ill. I loved it. Loved the confidence in British and European values

Israel killed some children again today - but fortunately they didn't damage a statue, so there will be no apology or killers getting 30 days in jail.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Israel killed Rico Pramudia in South Lebanon.

He died of his injuries today.

He wasn’t a fighter — he was a UN PEACEKEEPER from Indonesia.

Israel killed him anyway.

And not a single whisper from Western media.

No international outrage. No justice. No accountability.

Remember this shocking detail : ‘Throughout the ordeal, the journalists made repeated calls for help. But Israel prevented the Lebanese Army and the Lebanese Red Cross from reaching them, informed sources told us’ - @MaucourantNada

Our native red squirrels are at a crisis point 🚨

The risk of inaction is made clear by @NaturalEngland's strategy published this month: do nothing, and red squirrels risk becoming extinct in the UK within the next 25 years.
