RIP Walter. Your performance in Babylon 5 was one of the great highlights of that groundbreaking show.
My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

When I saw the headline, this was my reaction too. Gordon Brown was one of the worst chancellors ever. With his pension reforms, he created a ticking time bomb that’s going to explode for far too many of my generation. Burnham should not be making this worse.
Why is the Government going after pensioners? It's time to tax the rich

What *is* it about Reform that consistently attracts the worst people to it? #rhetorical
Reform UK has received a £36m donation from a British cryptocurrency billionaire called Ben Delo Last year Delo was given an unconditional pardon by President Trump over a breach of anti-money laundering laws at his crypto trading platform, BitMEX, to which he had pleaded guilty in 2022

This Substack post is gloriously written and made me laugh out loud three times
This explainer out of Australia is genuinely useful background and analysis of what happened with the Canada-US trade deal last night. Note that it is extremely and delightfully sweary. Also there’s an appended glossary of Australian slang. ifloz.substack.com/p/king-carne...

To people living in fear of abuse who have a secret phone - or indeed anyone with good reason to want emergency alerts off their phone - please share. I've not had any alerts today so I'm guessing it worked when I did this on my phone a while back 👍 www.gov.uk/alerts/optin...
Is there anything more Whitehall than: - sending out an emergency alert only in Welsh - while gov.uk says “there are no current alerts”? Sir Humphrey would be proud!
Gov.uk now shows the *Welsh* alert in the English section - and no English version of the alert. Great to see Welsh - and to see a Welsh-first approach. But we also need an English version for those who can’t speak Welsh.

If the Conservative Party had any morals or ethics, they would expel Badenoch over this. A rotten party for morally corrupt people.
So Badenoch would recruit a neo-Nazi but *not* someone who didn’t want to leave the ECHR or someone who supported our NetZero commitments. Second chances for this guy but not Dominic Grieve. The Tory party is truly wretched. It’s screwed the country, betrayed its own and lost its tiny mind.
