Deeply saddened by the horrific murder of Henry Nowak and my heartfelt condolences to Henry’s family.

But beware those cunningly politicising people’s pain; scapegoating and throwing under the bus the whole Sikh community, based on the actions of just one violent individual. 2/2

Let’s be crystal clear about it what is happening tonight in Southampton.

Far right thugs are doing Nazi salutes and throwing bricks at police.

It’s not a ‘revolution’ it’s criminality and thuggery.

This was Kyiv last night.

Those very, very fast missiles are probably 3M22 Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles. Russia fired eight of them at us yesterday.

Imagine this was your city, and this was happening a few hundred metres from your home.

Ukraine flew drones 1000km across Russia and blew up a $150m Russian warship and set fire to an oil terminal on the opening day of the Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum.

Utter humiliation for the Kremlin and Vladimir Putin.

Actual Nazis mobilising and rioting on the streets of Southampton today.

The moustached man in this video is Luke Jahn of the National Rebirth Party, a neo-Nazi movement led by Alek Yerbury, an infamous Adolf Hitler cosplayer.

[thelefttake @thelefttake]

It’s hardly surprising that these protestors have been videoed throwing up Nazi salutes at the police.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

The family asked for peace.

Farage and the far right instead give them riots.

Awful, hate filled, racist thugs.

Tommy Robinson told his supporters to go to Southampton Police Station, claiming he was only going there to report on the situation.

As soon as he arrived, he was rushed to the front of the crowd. When it was announced that he would be saying a few words, he initially pretended he didn't want to speak, saying, "No, I'm fucking not."

A few seconds later, he was on the microphone claiming that he had predicted Pakistani Muslim gangs would start a race riot.

The killer is Sikh, and it had nothing to do with Pakistanis or Muslims.

Farage is humiliated by Starmer at #PMQs and shown to be not only a pathetic little racist but actually a danger to the UK.

Farage should be in prison for what he did yesterday.

Every day, ships leave this russian owned factory in Ireland straight for St Petersburg carrying thousands of tonnes of raw alumina for the war machine.

There’s corruption everywhere. Locals tell me politicians are bought by oligarchs.

Ireland is no longer militarily neutral.

Economist Mariana Mazzucato says Brexit led to businesses leaving the UK, shrank market opportunities and damaged investment.

She tells The Fourcast that Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have still not been held accountable for what she calls one of the country's biggest economic mistakes.

Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have both denied lying to the public.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Every sign at this refinery in Ireland is in russian. The official website is a .RU domain.

There’s no reason to hide it because local politicians are openly doing it for them.

Cardiff Morrisons praised for providing nesting seagull shelter in 30- degree heatwave ☀️

A Morrisons in Cardiff has gone viral after creating a make-shift shelter for a nesting seagull. Staff covered the mother with a bedsheet, coned off four parking spaces, and gave her fresh water and food.

The Lesser Black-backed Gull, which is said to nest in the same spot of the supermarket’s
carpark each year, is being well-looked after in this heatwave.

Well done @Morrisons 👏.

[Carl Bovis @CarlBovisNature]

I'm fuming to read this! 🤬
Year in and year out this kind of crap happens in the summer, when most birds are already breeding, not just with Swifts, but with all birds! 😒
Birds and their nests are protected by law, but the law is clearly inadequate and is riddled with loopholes that councils, builders, farmers... anyone really, can exploit. 😡
Yet still some wonder why the UK is the most nature depleted place on earth...

Keir Starmer condemns Nigel Farage, Reform UK leader, for saying that people should respond to the murder of Henry Nowak with “with pure cold rage”, adding that it was “the wrong reaction”.

PM says he felt “sick” watching the video footage of Nowak being handcuffed as he lay dying. “I have seen the body cam footage, it’s harrowing, and I have to say, as a father of a 17-year-old boy, I felt sick watching it.”

Environmentalists are calling for more care to be taken over tree-felling plans after intervening at a site where a cedar is home to a nesting pair of sparrowhawks.
On Tuesday, protesters arrived at London Road Cemetery in Coventry to find an area surrounding the large cedar had been cordoned off in preparation for cutting down. The city council deemed the tree at risk of falling.
Perched in the branches were a sparrowhawk pair tending to a nest, which protesters said should have been obvious to anyone inspecting the tree.
Council officers and police were called to the scene, which resulted in tree surgeons, contracted by the local authority, putting down their tools.
The council said: "We are very aware of our duty to conserve biodiversity and that it is a criminal offence to destroy or disturb an active bird nest."
The authority confirmed work was halted after protesters contacted them, and no further action would be carried out on the tree until the end of the nesting season.
But one protester who was at the scene on Tuesday said there was concern it was nearly too late to save the birds, and if the intervention had come any later, the nest would be lost.
Lower limbs of the tree had already been cut before the full felling was halted.
The Warwickshire/Midlands Wildlife and Nature Matters group member said of workers: "They didn't even know the sparrowhawk nest was in there. If we could see it as members of the public, then why couldn't the contractors - who supposedly have trained ecologists with them - check trees properly before carrying out any cutting?"

If we give the Ukrainians Patriots and sanction Russian energy the war is over. In other words, US policy at present is to keep the war going.
