It was supposed to be a symbol of the international effort to tackle climate change and leave the world in a better state for the next generation.
But on Monday the Government was scrambling to distance itself from the new face of Cop26: a £1,600 taxpayer-funded seal dressed in a blue cheerleading uniform and Glasgow-themed bobble hat.
The mascot, which was signed off by Boris Johnson’s administration, will be patrolling the streets of Glasgow from next week as world leaders descend on the city for the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference.

… The minister of national defence, Harjit Sajjan, told the House of Commons on July 22, 2020, under questioning from the Conservatives, that the government had made decisions in response to COVID-19 “based on sound intelligence to make sure Canadians are safe.” In a brief exchange on that day, he repeated the assertion no less than four times, while declining to divulge any specifics about the intelligence reports.
It is now clear, thanks to a long-delayed release of records under the Access to Information Act, that the minister’s confident assertion about the quality of intelligence was incorrect.

Dozens of families living in San Francisco have been forced to hire private security firms to patrol streets in their neighborhoods amid spikes in brazen crimes as some have said they don’t feel secure any longer.
“We don’t feel safe in our neighborhood,” one resident, Katie Lyons, told KPIX-TV. “And we have an alarm, we have cameras on our property, but we want the extra security of having someone have eyes on our place.”

The University of Cambridge is reportedly adding “trigger warnings” to children’s classics in its archive, flagging “harmful content relating to slavery, colonialism and racism”. More than 10,000 books are apparently under review.
The project, reportedly paid for by a £80,633 grant from the taxpayer-funded UK Arts and Humanities Research Council, will apparently expose authors who have been “offensive to historically enslaved, colonised or denigrated people”.

Police investigating banner held at Crystal Palace criticising Newcastle United takeover
Police are investigating a banner unveiled by a section of the Crystal Palace support before Saturday afternoon’s draw with Newcastle United at Selhurst Park.
The Saudi Arabian-led takeover of the Tyneside club has caused controversy due to the human rights issues in the country and a graphic banner was held up in the Holmesdale End of the ground before kick-off.
A post from the official Croydon Metropolitan Police Twitter account read: “On Saturday 23 October police received a report of an offensive banner displayed by Crystal Palace fans.
An offensive banner? Saudi is an offensive state.

Social media users have mocked Ohio after its launch of a number plate to mark the first motorised flight by the Wright brothers in 1903 crash landed.
The US state’s new design, unveiled by Governor Mike DeWine, sported a banner attached to the plane that boasted Ohio was the “Birthplace of Aviation”.
But the banner, which should have been trailing behind the plane, was actually attached to its front.

The District of Columbia chapter of the Sunrise Movement, a radical group of climate change activists, announced Wednesday that it would not participate in a local voting rights rally because of the involvement of “Zionist” groups.

U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine, who identifies as a transgender female, claimed the title of the “first female four-star officer” in a video boasting about “diversity” for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
“I am honored to serve as the first female four-star officer of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, and the first openly transgender four-star officer to serve across any of the eight uniformed services,” Levine said in a video posted Tuesday.
