Wet winter, hot summer? What ‘climate whiplash’ means for the UK
https://theconversation.com/wet-winter-hot-summer-what-climate-whiplash-means-for-the-uk-277353
After a dry 2025 with the UK’s warmest summer on record, winter 2026 delivered something very different: rain for 50 days in a row in parts of Devon and Cornwall, one of the rainiest seasons on record and only 80% of average sunshine.

Scientists have given this a name: climate whiplash.

The donations mean Reform received more in donations in the last quarter than the Labour Party.

https://europeanjournalists.org/blog/2026/02/17/switzerland-us-analytics-firm-takes-republik-magazine-to-court/
The American company Palantir Technologies has filed a lawsuit against Republik, an independent Swiss media outlet that published an in-depth investigation into its activities. The case is currently being heard by the Zurich Commercial Court. The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) considers this legal action to be a potential case of a SLAPP suit (strategic lawsuit against public participation).
