In case you were wondering why Donald Trump has ordered Pete Hegseth to scale back war exercises with our “ally” South Korea against North Korea: As usual, it comes down to Donald being Putin’s pet monkey.

In Atlanta during the FIFA World Cup match between Spain and Cape Verde, a heartwarming moment unfolded when a Spain fan noticed a Cape Verde supporter and gestured asking if he wanted to swap jerseys. The Cape Verde fan enthusiastically agreed, and the two exchanged shirts before sharing a long hug

The Guardian on the Palestinian families in the al-Bustan district of occupied East Jerusalem, who are being forced to demish their own homes, or pay ten times as much if the municipality does the work. All for the "Disneyfied nonsense" of an archaeological theme park based on a historical fantasy.

Anyone who received their postal ballot today in the South of Scotland region, please be aware that "Independent Green Voice", which appears second on the list on the peach regional ballot paper, is NOT the Scottish Green Party. This is in fact a deliberate vote spoiling attempt by right-wingers.
Photo of the South of Scotland regional ballot paper for the Scottish election on 7th May 2026. Added text identifies the "INDEPENDENT GREEN VOICE" as "NOT the Green Party" and "SCOTTISH GREEN PARTY" as "The actual Green Party".

Hundreds of North Sea licences granted by Conservatives have ‘so far produced only 36 days worth of gas’
Exclusive: Findings cast doubt on claims new drilling would help cut bills and boost energy security, researchers say Hundreds of licences granted for new oil and gas projects in the North Sea under the Conservatives have so far produced only 36 days’ worth of gas, according to analysis. Research by the energy consultancy Voar and the campaign group Uplift found that between 2010 and 2024, the government handed out hundreds of new North Sea oil and gas licences in seven licensing rounds.

Bumper pay awards to FTSE100 bosses. Smith & Nephew CEO pay doubles to $15.3m. Similar story at BP, Shell, Rolls Royce and more. Average real pay for workers unchanged since 2008. Govts preach pay restraint to workers, silence on fat-cattery. archive.ph/w7OZJ

Reform is too thick to hide their real motive for power. It’s not to make us wealthier. It’s not to improve our public services. It’s not even to manage immigration. It’s to wildly enrich themselves by dumping the rules and regulations that protect us from exploitation, discrimination and risk.
