No amount of support for Russia can end the war, because Russia is the criminal aggressor. A modicum of support for Ukraine could, however, end the war, by making it impossible for Russia to continue. This should not be a hard choice.

Atlantic bluefin tuna are making a comeback in British waters. But instead of protecting this magnificent fish, the UK government has greenlit further fishing. Listen to @georgemonbiot.bsky.social speak with host Mark Lynas about his encounters with bluefin tuna on this week's podcast episode.

Some Reform supporters are arguing that Sagal Abdi-Wali shouldn't be an MP because she wasn't born in Britain. Does the same logic apply to Nadim Zahawi?

Jenrick’s been on quite the journey from a one nation, Remain-voting Tory, through to frothing Brexiter and on to demanding that Royal Marines murder people at sea for daring to seek refuge here. All to impress the country’s racist losers and maybe get a few more votes. Christ he’s repulsive.

Guess what? Gas boilers were once a "middle class technology". So were televisions, and phones. That's the standard trajectory for any roll-out. Build the market, drive down the costs and an exclusive tech is universalised. Or did you have another route in mind?

Great stuff from the Telegraph. archive.ph/r2nTA

A 29-year-old woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said the high levels of unemployment were “noticeable” in the area.
“When you go into Somali town, as we call it, you just see people outside in the cafes,” she said, gesturing down the road, before adding: “It annoys me, they are loitering around and doing nothing.”
Addressing her own career path, the 29-year-old said: “I can’t work at the moment because of my mental health. Of course I want to work, I went to uni and studied English Literature for two years. I want to be a writer.”

Tl;dr: the Trump administration lifting sanctions against Russia in the week that Russia escalates its campaign of war crimes against Ukrainian civilians is disgusting but it shouldn't be remotely surprising. It's what Trump and his circle have always wanted to do.
