Londistan does the best fireworks. It's haram to argue with me

Joining the EU has been a magic ticket to prosperity for former Russian satellite states. Bulgaria is now going vertical. This will happen for Ukraine, and it's Putin's nightmare. Ukraine’s resources, size, brainpower and location assure it will make even Poland's success small on comparison.

Anyone heard from J.D. Vance today? Hmm.

It’s fascinating comparing the front page coverage of the Huntingdon train attack (below) with how the British press treated another case 30 years ago. I’m referring to the 1995 Netto supermarket attack in Birmingham in which a man stabbed 10 people, killing one of them.

It's super easy to switch. Not justifying the increase in any way - it's disgusting.

Post is by James Buchan who defected from Reform to the Tories in Dartford Council. Pretty damning stuff...

Peak Telegraph! She's even called Flora.

Grear idea. But leave at least some of the extra cash with local councils.

Meta offers a subscription to opt out of ads. My insta feed is 70% suggested posts. Will I lose these too? The subs should offer opt out of the algorithm completely.

We're all missing her so badly

The social media giants avoided responsibility for harms for decades. We need to make sure AI is not the same. centerforhumanetechnology.substack.com/p/ai-product...

I'm not sure "strong-judgement, credibility and the ability to tell a story" are immune from being taken over by AI and I really don't think many people would put those at the top of the list of characteristics of successful investment bankers.... on.ft.com/47pDIQ0

Yes. Lib Dem's should take note

The whiter the area the more likely it is to have a Reform problem. Immigration isn’t the problem, otherwise you’d get Reform in more diverse areas - it’s fear of change among older people.

An unexpected reunion of two friends at a train station.Illia&Nazar once lived together in Zaporizhzhia, but Russia’s war separated them Their parents decided to surprise them:one boy thought he was going to Zaporizhzhia,while the other believed he was meeting his mother’s friends 📹mariia.tsapenko

ReFuk Election vote catching: “We’ll make efficiency savings and cut your taxes” ReFuk reality “No we aren’t. We lied”.

I just got the option to pay a monthly fee and have ad-free Instagram. Would you for £3.99 a month?

Scale of Plaid win in Caerphilly is significant, not least because of what it says about the potential for progressive tactical voting in (relatively) high turnout elections to block Reform. Voters in this race knew it was a Plaid-Reform contest and voted accordingly.

Good luck tomorrow 🔸

Nelson's Victory crew included a Brazilian and a Russian, 2 Indians, 2 Swiss, 2 Portuguese, 3 Danes and 3 Norwegian sailors. There were 3 Germans, 4 Italians, 6 Swedes, 7 Dutchmen, 9 West Indians and an African, as well as 21 Americans, 63 Irish, 64 Scots, 441 English.... oh, and 3 French men, too.

We've been here before a lot with Argentina. Why?

Too big to fail? Just like banks...

Ah! Good morning, reality. And welcome. We’ve been expecting you…

It's not news. It's designed to make headlines. Ignoring it is a definite editorial decision and I'd say it's right.

Well look at AWS crashing and taking the internet down with it.

Where would Farage find enough effective, competent candidates for a GE campaign? He will need hundreds. This is what those dumb poles never take into account.

Exactly this. There is a huge opportunity for LDs. But I think we need a new leader 🤫

#surestart really worked. And Osbourne (I think?) killed it. ifs.org.uk/news/sure-st...

@jtcbooks.bsky.social Loved your opening para to the Ian McEwan i/v in the Sunday Times mag. Rippling crocodile of squeaking school kids. Fabulous.

I block anyone who posts pictures of cats.

This is a grim read. I stick to my view that the wilful blindness of the government to the financial crisis in local government will cost them their majority at the next election. Why not roll the dice for change when the local public realm is falling apart? www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

If only. I'd be amazed if she did. But we live in hope I guess

Is ICE where all the psychos who got turned down by the armed forces work?

My friend Sascha is a professional musician and he's lost a viola bow on the way to Heathrow. Please signal boost to help him get it back.

Great way to use up NHS resources.

People keep telling me the UK is so over and they're going to move to Dubai and, like, fine. Go on then. Would you like directions to the airport?

No money flowing to USAID and hardly any to PEPFAR despite their duly enacted funding; well north of twenty billion dollars being deployed for other weird hair autocrats. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

*gasp*

honestly the way this terrible crap is pushed on all of us

Thank you for saying this. 🙏
