Ireland has been welcoming the Russians en masse and allowing them to own and export massive industries on their soil. An extremely embarrassing and pathetic situation in 2026.

Ireland is now being threatened by a Russian oligarch owned company which is exporting huge amounts of alumina to Russia, used to kill Ukrainian civilians.
We need Alumina sanctions immediately and we need to kick this company out of Europe entirely.

This is an ongoing concern and burning should never be done so that more grouse can be shot for 'sport'
Raptor Persecution UK@RaptorPersUK
New research from University of Leeds & the RSPB shows that burning on grouse moors is exposing millions of people to unsafe air pollution levels. Yet another reason to ban this 'sport'. Press release & link to the paper ⬇️ raptorpersecutionuk.org/2026/05/20/new…

Three female police officers walk up to a man sitting on a barrier and tell him he’s under arrest. He stands up, casually shrugs off the attempt to restrain him, and jogs away while they make a half-arsed comical chase.
This is British policing in 2026.
How embarrassing is this?
These are the people you’re supposed to call when you’re in trouble.
You’re meant to feel safe knowing that you can rely on them.
When forces lower physical standards, dropping the bleep test requirement from 5.4 to 3.7 in many forces, removing the upper body strength test entirely in 2016, and prioritising diversity targets and recruitment numbers over real competence this is exactly what you get. Public safety becomes optional.
Get rid of DEI.

The Pentlands are an ecological disgrace. They should be covered in deciduous woodland, which is physically impossible to ignite in Scotland.

"This was another superb example of land managers and @fire_scot working together" 🔥This week a wildfire at Eastside Farm in the #PentlandHills burnt around 17ha - but estimates suggest it would have been far worse without rapid intervention. Read more: tinyurl.com/3h4avarp

No, it won’t cut it. He needs to address why when 3 members of the SNP finance and audit committee resigned because Murrell wouldn’t show them the books the reaction of the leadership & their lackeys was to bully the person who made the announcement rather than to investigate
Chris McCall@Dennynews
John Swinney asked if the SNP “shut down” members who raised concerns about the party’s finances years ago. I don’t think simply repeating the police statement is going to cut it.

@overlandertheb1 @murrayJamescoo1 Apart from one bit at Easter Bavelaw farm who have planted loads of native trees, (plus some conifers that had to be part of the grant scheme unfortunately) but mostly very decent. Not to be confused with Bavelaw Castle he's not good, a certain Edinburgh dept store owner.

IRÁN: Aida Rostami fue una médica valiente. Atendía a personas que luchaban por la libertad, protestando contra el régimen.
Por eso, el régimen islámico la castigó de la manera más cruel. Fue torturada y le fracturaron huesos, la nariz y los hombros. Le arrancaron el ojo izquierdo. Luego, la asesinaron.
Su cuerpo quebrado cuenta una historia de una crueldad inimaginable. Aida no merecía esto: era una sanadora, no una criminal. El régimen le quitó la vida por atreverse a ayudar a otros. Su sacrificio no debe ser olvidado.
Comparte esto. El mundo debe saber.

OMG - The key line. "Ms Sturgeon was later told by Police Scotland that she would face no further action following direction from the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service"
This tells us Police Scotland prepared and evidence file and intended to press charges
Crown office (Bain) did not approve charges against Sturgeon. This in turn meant no changes could apply to Colin Beattie.
The crown office saved Nicolas bum. That's the same Dorothy Bain who (1) Nicola appointed (2) leaked Murrells charges to John Swinney (3) moved the trial to post election (4) resigned 15/05

Our reporter @conor_matchett has just asked John Swinney if he thinks giving a 'no comment' interview (as Nicola Sturgeon did) is fully cooperating with police (as Sturgeon promised to do).
FM's response: "I've got no comment to offer about police investigations."

Remember: after Wings revealed the SNP's missing money in January 2020, I personally DMed all the Scottish media's chief politics hacks to suggest they follow up on the story. Not one of them did. None even acknowledged the message. wingsoverscotland.com/the-final-robb…

Idaho’s war on wolves is truly unhinged.
am in umbria@AmUmbria
Based on report on Facebook, Idaho killed 450-650 wolves in 2025. Only 23 cattle &43 sheep were killed by wolves in the same period. April & May are pup season for wolves so Idaho will be killing the pups. Records show they killed 3 few weeks old pups previously, rewarded the hunters $750 each.😡😡😡

The Islamic regime is preparing to execute Pakhshan Azizi, a Kurdish woman from Mahabad.
Held in isolation for months and denied a lawyer, she was accused of "rebellion against the state" - a fabricated charge.

Hi National Grid. It’s May! I find it extremely difficult to believe that there are no active nests in these oak trees and hedges. Why are you breaking the law? @nationalgriduk @gridcustomersuk
@jcartlidgemp @suffolkwildlife @PylonsEAnglia
Rosie P 🦇 🦎 🕷️ 🦭 🐌 🍃🌳🚲💧@RosieP4
Today contractors from National Grid turned up at this farm ready to clear all of this vegetation, including the four oaks, without the required dawn bird survey. It is only because the land owner was on his toes and challenged them that they left. Plus National Grid has not explained why it is ‘not practicable’ to uphold their DCO obligation to avoid nesting season. They were not even able to explain why the oaks need to be felled for a bell mouth when they do not cause visibility issues. This is a horrific disregard for nature. (This is Bramford to Twinstead, ‘only’ 30km long. Imagine the destruction if Norwich to Tilbury at 180km goes ahead as proposed. We seek underground HVDC laid by cable ploughs for N2T)

You'll want to be sitting down for this bit.
Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends.
And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇
Prem Sikka@premnsikka
Yorkshire Water and Northumbrian Water have nearly 200 criminal convictions between them. On 6 August 2024, Ofwat fined them £47m and £17m for sewage dumping. Fines not paid, will not be paid. Firms claim to have invested. No penalty for abusing laws leftfootforward.org/2026/01/public…
