One of the most moving events of the year: thousands of Latvians lay candles outside Rīga Castle on Lāčplẽsis Day in honour of those who gave their lives in the struggle for Latvian independence and in later conflicts.

I think this remark is shameful, wicked. Millions dead and Neil Oliver is laughing and saying it's all a hoax.

Donald Trump — the twice impeached former president, Jan. 6 coup leader, convicted felon, adjudicated sexual abuser, and man who mismanaged the 2020 economic implosion and coronavirus disaster that killed more than 1 million people in this country — has convinced American voters to give him another term in the White House.

Trump's apparent victory has 5 big implications for the UK: 🧵
1️⃣ It can happen here. He will back Farage, the Musk propaganda machine will crank up against Labour; the Tories will remould themselves into Trump-lite Islamophobes ...

Yesterday we received the sad news that Nottingham-born artist and LeftLion contributor Sarah Cunningham has passed away.
We thought we’d share this cover Sarah did for us back in May 2018... 1/2
A regular haunt of mine in the 70s/80s, especially the Cooler Bar at the back and listening to the likes of Slender Loris, Plummet Airlines etc.
An old photo of The Imperial on St James Street #Nottingham. Although a smallish venue it had a long tradition of playing really good live bands from 1960s til 1980s. #ThenAndNow @No1tingham

Berlin, the location which later became Checkpoint Charlie, 31 July 1960. I post photographs taken on my many Berlin visits in the 1950s and 1960s. 180 historic street images of East and West Berlin are in my book "Berlin in the Cold War" (Amberley Publishing). #Berlin

1 November 1922. BBC Radio Licences went on sale at a cost of 10 shillings (50p). By the end of 1923, 200,000 licences had been issued and by 1928 this figure had risen to 2,500,000. The Post Office retained 12:5% of the fee to cover administration.

It will be a sad day when we lose contact with the Voyagers - they’ve been communicating with us from deep space since I was 9 years old! I watched them launch, watched them arrive at Jupiter, Saturn and, in the case of Voyager 2, Uranus and Neptune. I remember when Voyager 1 returned the Pale Blue Dot photograph. They feel like old friends and I do occasionally think about them out there in the darkness. Contact with Voyager 1 was lost and then re-established earlier this week using the low power S-band transmitter on the spacecraft that had not been used since 1981! Astonishing. That’s before Duran Duran released the Rio album :-) !!
