Not Tonight Brosephine

I find myself returning to Tony Benn’s five questions every time my daughter forces me to watch PJ Masks

Says politician who has spent the last two years continually kicking herself in the face.

"But who, other than climatologists, academics, and people who could read, predicted the chaos to be wrought by the collapse of global supply chains, Trump’s refusal to leave the White House and the AI singularity?" Somehow funny and terrifying in equal measure.

This is a very sensible and even-handed take, even if it hurts to think my kids might not enjoy Hitchhiker's as much as I would want them to.

Great, so now every time I leave fruit out in summer, I'm going to get drones?

Despite this being characterised by some as a "Spontaneous Protest" it was clearly not. If you are concerned by, and want to do something about, the increasingly organised right-wing extremism in our country, Hope not hate is a very good place to start.

1066 - Norman Conquest of England 1067(ish) - Norman aristocracy commission Bayeux Tapestry to commemorate the events leading up to 1066. John Redwood 2026 - “Too soon!”

If someone had told me twenty years ago that there would come a time when I was asked several times a day if I wanted to accept cookies, and that I would reject them every time, I wouldn’t have believed them.

Focusing on the media coverage seems like the sort of simplistic narrative that you often see in, well, in sections of the media. Surely any investigation should at the very least encompass Cambridge and the most prominent voices who pursued this on social media too? This didn’t happen in vacuum.

We need to show rightwing newspapers that actions have consequences. Add your name: goodlawproject.org/s/abb8a1

I feel like the word "claims" is missing from this BBC headline.

"...Liverpool fans [...] are viewing the potential high-profile investment cautiously." That's an unusual way of saying we want him to keep his filthy hands off our club and fuck off permanently to space like all these pricks keep promising. #liverpool #lfc #bezos #bezoff

This is a dreadful development in our politics, which is bound to see dodgy & illegal lobbying now go unnoticed. And I say this as someone who, 20 years ago, was included in the register of MPs’ staff interests, when I worked for an MP. I never begrudged my inclusion on the register.

Once again staggered that Farage thought (perhaps still does) that 'don't worry your pretty little head about it. The voters of Clacton have re-elected me' would satisfy most people:

@pimlicat.bsky.social: “As our econometric and polling research demonstrates, membership of the EU is a policy that delivers transformative, redistributive growth across the country and is popular with voters prepared to back Labour at the next election.”

I’ve been in favour of LVT for a while now. To my layman understanding it seems better thought out and more realistic than the magic bullets that wealth tax campaigners propose. Sobering how dependent it would be on proper, long term strategic planning though. Fascinating thread and report here

“Suddenly the RW press, that army of advocates for the right to offend, got terribly pompous. This degrades democracy, they say. What degrades democracy is the guy who thinks voters don't deserve to know what donors are getting in exchange for five million quid - not the guy with a bin on his head.”

Am I the only person who finds it crazy that the "Holy fuck! We're literally on fire!" story is only about 4th or 5th item on the homepage of most UK news websites, if it's even there at all? #ukwildfires #news #climatecrisis

He's falling apart

Victoria Derbyshire's surprise that Marouane Fellaini would be happy to cheat his way out of a red card is adorable and shows that she never saw him play #bbcnewsnight

Blatant lobbying, not for the sake of our country, but for the fossil fuel industry, in which almost all the ultrarich - including, in all likelihood, the proprietors of these newspapers - are heavily invested. These people are not and never will be your friends. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-...

@bestforbritain.org are amazing. I’m in awe of their relentless efforts to treat our country’s self inflicted wounds. In years to come, UK will be in a better place for the research and data they’ve helped gather and the awareness they’ve driven. You can help by sending their report to your MP today

The ability of Grok to strip women and children was not an accident. Safeguards could have been built into the chatbot, but its creators chose not to. I'm launching this High Court claim to pursue accountability for those choices.

Nigel Farage is a threat to national security inews.co.uk/opinion/nige...

What Reform did today was an incitement to rioting and an insult to a grieving family. This bloke should have hung his goddamn head in shame.

This is particularly damning from an actor who once played his mum on screen.

One of my favourite ways to upset car bros is to explain my belief that the order of priority in all road planning decisions should be 1) Pedestrians 2) Cyclists 3) Public transport 4) Emergency access 5) Essential services access 6) Privately owned vehicles. Drives them to distraction.

👏 Ed Matthew, the UK programme director at the E3G thinktank: “Clean energy is cheaper energy – it protects our bills from prices skyrocketing, its running costs are virtually zero, and it doesn’t cause climate change which threatens economic collapse"

NOT NOW MOSQUITOES!

Nigel Farage has gone all quiet about his friendship with Trump. Let’s not let him distance himself from the trainwreck. Please share this fawning video.

Nigel Farage’s claim that he paid for a £1.4mn house with his fee from a reality TV show has been challenged by corporate accounts that appear to show that the income remained on his company’s balance sheet after the property purchase. www.ft.com/content/88ce...
