Israel has just killed Lebanese journalist Fatima Ftouni. I am honoured to have known her. Just at the beginning of the month she reported on Israel killing seven members of her own family live on air.

BREAKING NEWS!!! Canadian Sailors war graves in the UK now protected from theft.

Maybe instead of running around filming workout videos for social media, renaming bases, hunting DEI, firing outstanding officers, and fighting to restrict press access, Pete Hegseth should’ve been studying the war in Ukraine to learn something about modern drone warfare.

Somerset's far right supporters' grooming gang. Two are Reform members, one reposts Rupert Lowe. Rupert and Tommy were quiet about this lot, I wonder why

Jane Fonda: “This is the first time in the history of the US that an authoritarian regime has broken through. Worldwide historians who study these things all agree it has never happened so fast in any industrialized democracy. He is moving to consolidate very very fast which means right now we have to use the tools we have to stop it”

This should be headline news but it’s likely it will go unmentioned. One has to question why? I, as a patient, want my medical or surgical consultant and GP to have gone to medical school. I believe others want this too. This must be stopped.

London rejects the far right! 💪

Massive geopolitical shift. Gulf nations completely refuse to retaliate against Iran despite taking heavy damage. They are furious at Washington, admitting US & Israel started this disastrous war without even consulting them. US military bases are now seen as a massive liability

I rather suspect American policy is to get rid of all the Ice? ;-)

PM Carney on Canada's contribution to Arctic security: "We already have the second largest icebreaker fleet in the world after Russia. Once our icebreaker program is completed, we will have the largest. We will have 42 icebreakers. The Americans have one."

I think this is great from @UKLabour. Looking after military families in a way that neither the Tories or Reform have even considered. Good homes at the heart of military life: MOD to build first new forces homes in a decade - GOV.UK share.google/hnThOS7Uez1dwA…

Wow. In New York people have taken to the streets. They're standing in front of 11 East 71 street. The house that once belonged to Leslie Wexner, passed on to Jeffrey Epstein and now belongs to HOWARD LUTNICK. No one is taking this anymore. Release the Epstein files! Lock em up!

Maternity ward in Odesa. Again. The hardest was evacuating newborn twins on ventilators. When Russian Shaheds attacked, doctors moved 33 pregnant women and 19 newborns to safety in a bomb shelter. Then helped put out the fire.

Trump does not care and removes protections for creatures that have existed for millions of years namely sea turtles and in picture below Rice Whales on the verge of extinction down to its last 51, just because his big oil buddies must add billions more to their profits

By 1943, the Allies had forbidden any new assassination attempts against Hitler because they viewed his paranoia, incompetence, drug abuse, and megalomania as so damaging to the Axis war effort they considered him a net strategic positive. History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes.

'Lots of people are really sick of Islamophobic and anti-migrant narratives in our society.' Amnesty International UK's Alba Kapoor speaks to Sky News, as she joins protesters in demonstrating against the far-right in central London trib.al/cHDlCBg

Absolute chaos in the alliance. France and the EU are screaming that Russia is helping Iran attack US bases, but Secretary of State Marco Rubio casually brushes it off saying Russia is focused elsewhere. The incompetence of this administration is staggering.

Matt GPT got absolutely cooked He used ChatGPT to show how a book he wrote was not written by AI. You can't make this up. He couldn't name a single person who peer-reviewed his book.

That’s two Middle East security agreements hashed out by Zelensky in as many days. The man is fighting half the world & still has time to help others. He was born for this. (UAE)

On our way to the shops - what a beautiful day it is here in spite of the cold March wind
