18 m. ago Farage condemns UK’s ‘authoritarian censorship regime’ ahead of giving evidence at US congress

Reform UK leader to speak about Online Safety Act at House judiciary committee; government set to announce date of budget at PMQs later Good morning. It is the first PMQs, and with the government set to announce the date of the budget today (Wednesday 26 November, if HuffPost UK is right), you would expect Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch to get stuck into a debate about the economy, and taxation.But it might end up as a free speech day at Westminster, as a result of the conflation of two related issues.On the question of civil liberties, Britain has, unfortunately, now lost her way.I will do my part, as a participant in UK democracy, to help our country find its way back to the traditional freedoms which have long bound together our two countries in friendship. In the meantime, Congress should draw bright lines: British free speech rules, applicable to Britons, are made in Britain, and American speech rules, applicable to Americans, are made in America.

93 m. ago This was the hottest summer on record. If it happens again next year, Britain’s ecosystems won’t cope | Lucy Jones

A future of extreme heatwaves, drought and collapsing habitats awaits if we continue to ignore the danger signsWhat does British summertime mean to you? Blackberries? Picnics? Festivals? Ticks?

Since moving there in 2016, the number of ticks my family has picked up in the woods has increased each year, but this summer has been astonishing.

We spend time in Scotland, too, and find ticks often when we go there now.Lucy Jones is a journalist and the author of Losing Eden and The Nature Seed Continue reading...

To my left, the view is not just clear but startlingly beautiful.I’m able to see back down to the tiny mountain hamlet of Gacaferi, where I’d slept the previous night, to look across the deep greenery of Deçan Gorge beyond, over dense pine forests and grasslands that pop with pink and yellow wildflowers, and gaze all the way to the 2,461m summit of Çfërla and the rugged peaks of western Kosovo’s Accursed mountains.
