Thanks for the follow. It says in your bio that you love Mysteries... so I have to recommend my wife's books.
@lizziebentham.bsky.social if you're interested.

Take a breath. Look behind the hostile headlines. What this government is on the verge of doing is to expand this one-in-one-out deal into, essentially, a safe and legal route from France. It is - and has always been - the only solution to dangerous crossings and what has been needed for years.

The Ignoble prizes make fun of science. I don't think they have ever done a Peace Prize but can I nominate #Trump for one?

The very rich pay a much lower percentage of their income in tax than almost everyone else. The 'Zucman tax' addresses this problem directly in a way designed to attract the maximum popular support.

Most people would agree that taxes, taken as a whole, should be progressive. When you add up all the taxes that an individual pays, the pe...

I have never witnessed the utterly baboonish levels of jeering Reeves endures in the Commons - and this level of disrespect started on day one, so it is nothing to do with policies, credentials, or ability and everything to do with her being a woman.

Rachel Reeves held her ground, rejected Treasury orthodoxy, and forced through a significant change to the fiscal rules on investment. She gets no credit for this, but she damn well deserves some

I'm sure you guys are up on this story, but just in case...
Ok, this is a complete failure of our media.

Reform and/or Farage are all over our media, completely out of proportion to their support.

But 9 (Nine!) councillors suspended/resigned in LESS THAN A MONTH?

Crickets.

Where the Fuck are you #BBCNews?

This is the ninth Reform councillor - all elected last month - to either have resigned or been suspended.

@quietriotpod.bsky.social listening to Kenny's story just emphasises what an unspeakably evil person Dacre is. Alistair Darling's book is brilliant and the crisis management was vital. And Dacre wanted to make this crucial national moment worse.
