As the world celebrates Victory in Europe Day, let us not forget how World War II began — with a deal.

In 1939, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union signed the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. This agreement set the stage for the joint destruction of Europe.

Hitler invaded Poland from the west, and Stalin followed from the east. The USSR then attacked Finland, annexed the Baltics, and seized territory from Romania. Between 1939 and 1941, the Soviets supplied Nazi Germany with oil, grain, and raw materials — fueling its conquest of Europe.

Stalin was not Hitler’s victim. He was his partner in crime. Together, they ignited a war that would claim over 70 million lives.

Truth matters more than propaganda.

I don’t get why Laurence Fox, Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson are all celebrating D-Day when their side lost

@RichardJMurphy I'm a pensioner and I won't vote for this corrupt party. They stole my EU membership from me and I will NEVER forgive them. They're a self-serving, self-aggrandising, cheating, lying bunch of chancers who've stolen our prosperity, our reputation and our position in the world.

@ProfColinDavis Shame on them. Why do the UK electorate vote for and support such people as MPs

In other excellent news I have abolished the worst waiting lists in NHS history - nearly 8 million people at the current count - by redefining these patients as not so much waiting as failing to progress kinetically. I promised I’d cut waiting lists - and I’ve delivered. #NHS 💙

We should be calling out racism (and using it’s real name). There are not two kinds of racism, one of lesser import than the other:

Why is antisemitism so rife in UK academic settings? I have never found student life more difficult

@sammwittings We’re a long way past the start. It’s been functioning, certainly in the UK, for several years, at the highest level of administration

. @RishiSunak says he will would "not allow a foreign court to block these flights". The ECHR isn’t a foreign court. It is an international court of which the UK is a founding member. His characterization is duplicitous and misleading.
Integrity, professionalism & transparency?

The @bbcnews prejudice wld be farcical if the circumstances were not so tragic & the bias so poisonous.

For all interested in the tipping point of the Atlantic overturning circulation : here's Henk Dijkstra's recent talk.
The tipping point has been confirmed in a state-of-art climate model, and a novel early warning indicator suggests we're heading there.

@MarkTrewick1 @Sir_David_King Too many seem unaware that things appear to have already gone too far to ameliorate effectively in the near future and may take us past a precarious tipping point

The co-authors have published a remarkably detailed analysis of global warming in the pipeline:  https://t.co/Ud2uzXgAim.  This analysis of the trends in temperature and greenhouse gas levels over the past 67 million years, and the last 800,000 is stark

New study find that grazing and herbivores are more of a hinderance than a help in restoring vegetation

The scientists findings "suggest that excluding herbivores or reintroducing predators may aid restoration efforts in many locations"
