Rescuers at Swan Support retrieved and X-rayed the swan. They found three airgun pellets lodged in her body. The swan has undergone surgery and Swan Support is hopeful that she will recover.

Earlier this year, E3G released a big report with the Department of War Studies at Kings College which showed that our dependence on gas is a major national security risk. Cutting heat pumps to fund defence is like not paying for a flu jab so you can buy lemsip. It makes no sense.

Andy Burnham, "Brexit has done more harm than good to UK growth, and to other things as well" "One of the big lies of the 2016 campaign was that we would 'take back control' and it would be much easier - the reality is you need collaboration to take control of immigration"

Just because we hunted Gannets many years ago, doesn't mean the killing should continue. The Guga hunt is needless cruelty in 2026.

We have a media which portrays opposition to Israel’s crimes as antisemitism. That same media is viciously and relentlessly Islamophobic. And as we see here, has no qualms using antisemitic tropes against “the wrong sort of Jew”.

Society often dismisses kindness to all animals as a radical stance. But is it more radical to live with empathy, or to completely disregard the lives of others? Caring for every animal on this planet shouldn't be considered a radical idea. If you agree, give us a follow!

Suella Braverman selling 106 copies of her book after all that publicity is so delicious.
Crack 'em while you can, though, because Suella's star might just be on the skids. Despite plugging her book on Question Time, on Tim Shipman's Spectator podcast, in serialised excerpts in the Daily Mail, and in a fawning interview with Allison Pearson in the Telegraph, in its opening weekend, Patriot sold precisely 106 copies.

Maybe the most amazing aspect of the Russo-Ukraine War is that Russia is getting backing from both China and the USA, the two largest powers of the moment--and Ukraine could still emerge triumphant as long as Europe backs it stoutly.

Green vote up from 11% to 33%; changing Holborn & St Pancras from a safe Labour seat to a marginal. Second best Green by-election result ever, making the seat winnable next time. 33% would win quite a few seats in the country with the vote division between several parties as things stand.
BBC graphic of the Holborn and St Pancras by-election result, October 2026. Labour 45% in first, down 4 points. Green Party (Zack Polanski) 33% in second, up 22 points.

We are 24 years away from when the world needs to be at net zero carbon emissions. Fossil fuel infrastructure and even some appliances have about a 25-year design life. That means that every gas power plant, gas pipeline, or gas boiler you install today is a middle finger pointed at your grandkids.
