Transphobia just one of a whole collection of phobias, study finds. Terfs are also misogynists shocker. Also often racist and xenophobic. Almost as if there's a link.

Never mind breaking the bond market, the cheeky fuckers at the BoE have turned Wellington and Copenhagen around!

A beautifully evocative piece. The author is 2 years younger than me - a lot of this chimes really strongly with me www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

The White House and the Kremlin share an ideological agenda, a worldview and a geopolitical strategy inews.co.uk/opinion/usa-...

Despite the narrative the right tries to promote, their success is not inevitable. Plenty resist www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Sorry but it's not a lottery: if it were the link between how hard things are for kids and where they live would be random. But it's not.

Is this the BBC saying "Put up or shut up", @davidallengreen.bsky.social ? www.theguardian.com/media/2026/o...

This is quite extraordinary. I don't think I have heard a more coherent, articulate and accurate deconstruction & demolition of Nigel Farage's ReformUK, Tory & Restore policy than this. In under 85 seconds! @rafaelbehr.bsky.social is on here folks and worth a follow.

Interesting www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

What a week. We've seen the news agenda rescued from the grip of the far-right. We've seen astonishing levels of competence in government communication. And we've seen the outline of a radical policy programme. It's a v.exciting time to be involved in politics iandunt.substack.com/p/some-dispa...

Great opening paragraph from John Crace www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

$6 trillion? The AI crash is surely coming www.theregister.com/ai-and-ml/20...

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.
