They knew #CovidIsAirborne from the very start.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

Since his ennoblement in Boris Johnson’s 2023 resignation list, Tees Valley regional mayor Lord (Ben) Houchen has claimed more than £25,000 in tax-free daily “attendance” allowances from the House of Lords for 73 days when he hasn’t voted, spoken or performed any recorded parliamentary activity.

It should be illegal for the President, VP, and lawmakers in Congress to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Two major polls today putting Labour back into the thirties. This one puts Reform firmly in third place and would give Labour a majority of around 134

Most of us carry dormant viruses from past infections, usually harmless. But extreme stress or a weakened immune system can reactivate them. Scientists studying astronauts' immune systems are exploring what might wake these viruses up and how this could be linked to Long COVID. Podcast: 14 minutes

I mean it’s not a vetting problem, is it? It’s that it’s a racist party, run by racists, with racist policies, for the benefit of racists. The fact that it turns out to be full of racists is not a glitch

Oh well, no harm done, eh?

This is a non story. The police chief cites actual figures. Farage challenges actual figures. Farage has no basis for doing this. Why did the BBC run this?

The US is in the midst of the worst measles outbreak in decades whilst RFKJr as HHS seeds vaccine mistrust. So it’s disappointing but somehow not surprising that the CDC refuse to support to develop a multiplex test that would enhance measles detection and surveillance.

Again: Why does Musk have operational control over any *military grade* version of anything. That’s not how DOD contracts work.

Brexit didn’t just take away rights. It separated families, disrupted lives, closed doors and stole opportunities. Freedom of Movement was never just about crossing borders. It was about the freedom to live our lives. We want it back. #Brexit #FreedomOfMovement

Brexit was a gift to Putin, and those who sold it are stooges, either intentionally or otherwise, to Russia's attempts to destabilise Europe.

This Clacton resident summed it up perfectly: being part of the EU helped keep us safe. It's time to restore our EU membership.

Brexit, Russia, Twitter bots – it’s been a good week for finally acknowledging a decade’s worth of malign influences on Britain. But let’s not overlook perhaps the biggest and most hostile troll of all This week’s Nerve column by Stewart Lee
