BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.
She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

The briefing against this government has been the most coordinated and cynical thing I’ve ever seen. It’s a weapon-less coup by a number of far right actors. Against a government delivering the most progressive agenda we’ve ever seen. Oh, wait……

I am amazed by the bandwidth the BBC - Trump fued is taking up on the BBC. Someone plainly needs to state that the President of the United States and his role in stirring up an insurrection on January 6th is defamation proof. Not every incident of journalistic malpractice is equally consequential.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Somebody (middle-aged) came up to the board and said "I see all the oldies hate social media".
Actually, it was predominantly young people, sub 30, who felt it was a scourge, and especially the under 18s.

Another very pertinent fact that I have not seen mentioned ANYWHERE: In 14 years of Tory rule we had 14 Prisons Ministers - six in a single year, at one point - and a total of 11 Justice Secretaries, including Grayling, Raab, and Truss. In 13 years of Labour it was three: Irvine, Falconer, Straw. 🤔
