CNN will never show you this : An Israeli settler pointing a gun at a Palestinian farmer.

"This land is mine now. Get out. Never come back"

The farmer's family worked that land for generations.

The settler flew in from Eastern Europe.

Of course you are meant to believe that

Tice whose family has known the Cottrell's for decades was unaware of the source of the money to his business that was then passed directly to Reform - run by Farage who coincidentally has associated with George Cottrell for a decade despite being aware of his criminal past.

Trump dropped bombs on a desalination plant in Iran’s Hormozgan province — cutting off water to 10,000 cilivians across 20 villages.

This is not a military target.

Trump is deliberately bombing critical infrastructure civilians need to stay alive.

“Pure cold rage.”

That was Nigel Farage’s response when Henry Nowak was murdered. There were riots. Politicians competed to express their outrage.

Now a 24-year-old Indian woman is allegedly murdered in her own home while sleeping beside her baby.

Farage? Silence.
Zia Yusuf? Silence.
Rupert Lowe? Silence.

If the races were reversed, do you honestly believe the reaction would be the same?

Putin

Last night Donald Trump released a declassified document that says his own intelligence community identified Putin as personally running an operation to defeat my father in 2020, built around a fake Burisma corruption scandal centered around me and executed through prominent Americans.

Trump tasked his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to fly to Kyiv and meet a known Russian agent.

The Americans who ran, laundered, and legitimized the operation:

Donald Trump. Rudy Giuliani. John Solomon. Joe DiGenova. Victoria Toensing. Lev Parnas. Igor Fruman. Chanel Rion. Sean Hannity. Steve Bannon. Miranda Devine. Ken Vogel. Ron Johnson. Chuck Grassley. James Comer. Jim Jordan.

To name a few.

An operation formally sanctioned by Trump's own Treasury Department on September 10, 2020, and expanded to include more named actors on January 11, 2021.

Oh, and don't forget the Russian-linked FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, who later pleaded guilty to making the entire Burisma bribery story up.

The record exists and we have all the receipts, and more.

Watch this mother Hedgehog and her baby drink from a simple bowl of water. Now imagine a summer without it.

We've paved, fenced and tidied our gardens until there's nowhere left for the small lives that used to share them. No gaps to pass through. No shelter. And on a hot day, not a single drop to drink.

𝐒𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬
Your garden can flip from problem to solution faster than almost anything else you own. Put out a shallow bowl of water with a stone in it so nothing drowns.

Cut a Hedgehog-sized hole in the fence. Let a corner grow wild. Plant native flowers and a few berrying shrubs.

They may be a mall acts, but multiply them across a street, a neighbourhood, a country, and you've built a living network no nature reserve could match.

Described by Farage as “role models to young men"

Andrew has been charged with seven further counts of rape, three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation, three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and 19 additional charges for offences relating to indecent images of a child and extreme pornography.

His younger brother Tristan has been charged with one count of sexual assault, two counts of rape and three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation.

The alleged offences took place between July 2010 and August 2017, according to the CPS.

The legendary broadcaster shared that Britain's cat population has been estimated to kill around 55 million birds each year as they roam outside. 😞🐱

While he certainly didn't vilify cats, Attenborough suggested a way we can ensure our beloved felines cause as little damage as possible to garden birds. The solution couldn't be simpler or more glaringly obvious - pop a bell on their collar. He says this could reduce cats' "hunting success by a third". 🔔🐦

Another handy tip to stop cats from hunting unsuspecting birds is to bring them indoors during critical times, such as dusk and dawn, when birds are at their most active. These periods also overlap with the optimal hunting time for cats. 🌙🎯

One additional highly recommended, expert-endorsed step is to place bird feeders substantially higher up, well beyond the reach of prowling pets - and at least two metres away from dense vegetation. 🌱

NEW: A convicted money launderer has operated at the highest level of UK politics for a decade. Why? Because Farage has enjoyed almost total impunity from the UK press.

In my new piece for @thenerve_news, I expose the decade of denial that’s enabled him to act with impunity

This would be a huge scandal for any other president.

A South Korean company challenging Commerce Department trade penalties paid Donald Trump’s holding company $2,000,000 last year.

The payment came from Base Group, the lead investor in Korea Aluminium, which faced penalties after the Commerce Department found that South Korean companies were circumventing trade duties on Chinese-made aluminum. The money surfaced in Trump’s annual financial disclosure released in late June.

The disclosure described it only as a nonrefundable development fee tied to a letter of intent. The Trump Organization says it relates to an unannounced golf course project.

Base Group has courted the Trump family for nearly a decade. It sells Trump-branded wine in South Korea and hosted Eric Trump at its Seoul headquarters in February, where executives discussed expanding trade between the two countries.

As recently as last month, the Commerce Department was weighing whether to raise tariffs further on Korea Aluminium. A preliminary review released last week sided with American aluminum companies. The agency that decides this company’s fate answers to the president. The president took $2,000,000 dollars from its largest investor.

This is one payment. Trump’s holding company collected at least $125,000,000 from foreign sources last year, from more than a dozen countries.

Every president in modern history stepped away from their business to avoid even the appearance of a conflict. This president kept nearly 30 ventures with foreign partners and now profits from companies whose fortunes his own government controls.

This cannot be normalized.

Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

George Cottrell opens an account with Oneify on 28 May 2024.

Fiona Cottrell (his mother) receives cash from an “unknown” source and transfers £1m to Oneify in June 2024.

The money goes to Richard Tice’s company (Britain Means Business).

Then £250k each on 10 & 12 June goes to Reform UK.

#BREAKING: Liz Oyer: “I was shocked to hear Mr Blanche’s testimony about this yesterday. What he said about my firing is provably false. His claim that it had nothing to do with the concerns I raised is contradicted by documents and evidence. His claim that he tried to call me before sending marshals to my home is flat out false. His claim that it is normal for DOJ to use armed law enforcement officers to deliver mail to the homes of its former employees is preposterous. The casual lies that Mr Blanche tells, even while sitting in this chair testifying to this committee, are emblematic of a much larger problem. To the American public, it looks like Mr Blanche is running DOJ as Donald Trump’s personal law firm. Americans across the political spectrum rely on DOJ to keep us safe and free. Mr Blanche has shown that he is willing to put all of that at risk to serve a political agenda. I beg the members of this committee to think about what this is costing our country. Please do not degrade our justice system further by promoting Mr Blanche.” 😳

"Howard Lutnick lost 658 Cantor Fitzgerald employees who were killed on 9/11..."

Within days — before many were even confirmed dead — Howard Lutnick cut off their paychecks to their families without warning.

He wept on national television. The families were furious.
Years later Cantor Fitzgerald won a $135 million settlement from American Airlines.

Lutnick told senior executives the bulk of the money would go to the firm's partners — not the families of the 658 dead.

He is now Trump's Secretary of Commerce.
He is also the man who lied to Congress about visiting Jeffrey Epstein's island with eight children.

England & Wales water firms lose 2.87bn litres a day, 20% of all water pumped through network.

Hosepipe ban would save 577m(4%) litres a day.

Violating hosepipe ban is a criminal offence, potential penalty of £1,000.

No water execs fined or prosecuted.

I was halfway through my lunch when I noticed an old man sitting alone by the window. His tea had gone cold. Every few minutes, he'd straighten the empty chair across from him, not because anyone had moved it, he just wanted it ready.

The waitress asked if he'd like another cup. He smiled. No, thank you. My daughter doesn't like cold tea.

A few minutes later, the door opened. He looked up so quickly his glasses slipped down his nose. It wasn't her. He smiled anyway.

When the bill came, he folded it carefully and slipped it into his shirt pocket. The waitress smiled. Keeping it? He nodded. My daughter always asks how much we spend when we have lunch together.

He stood, pushed the empty chair back under the table, thanked everyone, and walked out. Nobody in the restaurant spoke.

I sat there wondering how many parents are still saving a seat for children who stopped showing up.

If your mum or dad can still answer your call, don't wait. One day, you'll wish they could.

Bombi's Keepers wear zebra-striped coats, just like her.

After barely surviving a lion attack that left her orphaned, our little zebra now imprints on the stripe pattern, as nature intended, as opposed to any one person. At Kaluku she has grown up among buffalo, ostriches and a black rhino, with best friend Pips the giraffe rarely far away. When Bombi's ready, she'll rejoin the wild – a bittersweet prospect for Keeper Peter who dons a striped coat while shepherding her towards that moment.

Elephants may be our best-known orphans, but they are far from the only species to find a family in our care. A monthly donation helps us raise them all and protect the landscapes they will one day call home: https://t.co/NVpsbuFaAn
