Yeah, it would be fucking stupid, easily weaponised to persecute opponents and not achieve anything.
We finally have a shot at criminalising lying in politics…

And you can help.

I spoke at an event this week where the room voted almost unanimously that MPs & Lords must be covered by the new offence of Misleading the Public

Imagine if this went though

And this is where we need your help…

In Pakistan, the CIA went around door-to-door pretending to be giving polio vaccines, while secretly hunting for Osama bin Laden. The result was that real health care workers were ignored or even killed, and hundreds of people got polio, which had otherwise been nearly eradicated worldwide.
There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.

The underfunding of Free School Meals disproportionately impacts schools in more deprived communities

Below inflation rises are damaging schools

This isn’t new, @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social & @departmentforedu.bsky.social are well aware schools are forced to top up the FSM grant from other budgets
Exclusive: Extending free schools meals eligibility to all children from families receiving universal credit – while increasing per-meal funding by just 5p – could leave schools tens of millions of pounds further out of pocket, analysis suggests

Schools face £47.5m free school meals expansion shortfall
Leaders say government's plan to increase funding by 5p per meal goes 'nowhere near far enough'

Reeves's incompetence and political cack-handedness baffles me. She is not stupid and in the 2015 - 2020 period wrote some interesting and thoughtful work about tax reform, including business taxes. Yet in government she's been a walking wicket and a bone-headed ideologue
She never seems to learn from past experience.

Two replies to this *already* saying “we don’t want charisma, we want competence”. Ah, yes, when I think about this government and its 12 U-Turns and counting, I think “competence”.
The centre-left's determination to thwart anyone with charisma is a real superpower. bsky.app/profile/jess...
Have asked a number of NEC members to tell me the chances Andy Burnham has of being selected to fight a by-election.

Ah, yes, I can relate--I, too, am now hot, but was cool a billion years ago.
Most Hot Jupiters Were Cool Giant Planets for More Than 1 Gyr
The origin of hot Jupiters is the oldest problem in exoplanet astrophysics. Hot Jupiters formed in situ or via disk migration should be in place just a few Myr after the formation of their host stars....

Sure, this is so horrifying that it should trigger something between a fully armed tactical police response and a torch wielding mob, but have you considered that sometimes Bluesky can be a bit preachy?

Lots to think about.
In our conservative estimate, 41 percent of Grok’s images — or 1.8 million — were sexualized depictions of women. Separately, CCDH analyzed how many were sexualized images across genders and ages. Their findings: an estimated 3 million images, including more than 23,000 of children.

this is, to be clear, extremely good and the actual foundation of american leftism rather than the co-option of aesthetics and ideas that arose in entirely different material conditions
The way so much of bluesky, including and maybe especially Jewish social democrats, has adopted the religious aesthetics of Civil War abolitionist Christianity is absolutely fascinating

There you have it, the Board of Peace is nothing more than a corrupt real estate deal dressed up as diplomacy with the sole purpose of enriching Trump and his favoured cronies.
Trump makes concluding remarks. He says Gaza ceasefire push began because he is “a real estate person at heart, and it’s all about location, and I said, ‘look at this location, on the sea, look at this beautiful piece of property’”.

It’s good that Trump backed down but if European governments take that as an excuse to go back to sleep until the next time the lynchpin of the western alliance has a snit, I do not believe I will be able to cope.
