NEW: This is a terrific deep dive into Epstein & Russia by @professorshaw.bsky.social for @thenerve.news which starts with ‘Yachtgate’, Mandelson’s 2008 scandal involving Nat Rothschild, George Osborne & Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska 1/ www.thenerve.news/p/peter-mand...

Peter Mandelson, the Russian superyacht and the scandal we completely misread
When Britain's most powerful political fixer was caught on an oligarch's boat in Corfu, we called it Yachtgate and moved on. The Epstein files now reveal the full picture: a web of Russian money, paed...

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

Trump isn't a Russian agent. He's an attention seeking fool. And the amount of resources being taken up worldwide managing him is obscene.

I will never not understand how a minority of people have decided that wind farms - significantly prettier than pylons, coal power plants, nuclear power plants, and almost certainly fusion power plants - are ugly. In terms of energy generation, what else are you hoping for that is better?

Wind turbines are beautiful, solar fields are beautiful. They are the future we grew up hoping for, living in a surprisingly short-lived time and place where global warming and acid rain and deforestation were things we thought it was normal to want to avoid.

My first time trying the Today programme in months. Within two minutes, I get Justin Webb asking "if Donald Trump has a point" when he sues media companies for unfavourable coverage. And then I switch back to Radio 6.

I don't understand. God's hand saved hundreds, but it missed saving scores of others, including children. Why didn't God do a better job? And can't we just get Him/Her/They to stop extreme weather events caused by climate change?

Where is the moral panic? Where are @lisanandy and @Keir_Starmer? Or are we saying Rod Liddle can use his national platform to call for state violence and it’s fine But if Bob Vylan chants about actual state violence it’s “incitement”? At least try to be consistent.

As a general point I find it depressing when women with every means available to them to dress well choose to pursue a Beauty Ideal that makes them look as if they are made of plastic. It makes me wonder about their men too. Probably afraid of a woman who looks alive &like a person in her own right.

The fact we are making ourselves more dependant on US military assistance, not less, is fundamentally insane. We cannot rely on the US as a security partner, how obvious can that possibly be before the UK security establishment takes it in?

This cartoon was drawn 8 years ago. It seems the right time for it to be reshared. (✍️ Carlos Latuff)
The cartoon depict Trump as a tank being driven by Netanyahu towards Iran. War criminal Netanyahu is seen with a grin standing out of the top of Trump’s hair, through a tank hatch. The Israeli flag flies on top of Trump’s head and he has just run over and crushed a copy of the Iran Nuclear Deal. The whole cartoon suggests felon Trump is steered entirely by Netanyahu.
