Hate that I have to say it here, but… no DMs please 😕
My thoughts too - sudden change of opinion = been told the redacting and removal has been completed.
Feels like we're at the stage where Nixon caved to the pressure and released transcripts of the Oval Office recordings, which turned out to have been heavily edited and misleading.

We might be jumping ahead to the 18 1/2 minute erasure, though.

But I'm not sure the 1-to-1 comparison really works?
Attention, historians of Watergate! I'm getting flashbacks from the months of back and forth, reversals and blunders over release of White House records. What stage are we at with the Epstein Files? Drip, drip, drip, as we used to say. @kevinmkruse.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Desde que la ley de eutanasia entró en vigor han donado órganos 154 personas que recibieron ayuda para morir dignamente, lo que ha beneficiado a 442 receptores: “Ya que no me van a servir, que alguien pueda disfrutar la vida que yo no voy a tener”
Donar órganos tras la eutanasia: “Ya que no me van a servir, que alguien pueda disfrutar la vida que yo no voy a tener”
Impulsar la donación en personas que están en las últimas etapas de su vida es una de las nuevas estrategias de la Organización Nacional de Trasplantes para mantener a España como líder mundial

Court convicts two donors for illegally diverting £100k to Eurosceptic think tank run by Nigel Farage's girlfriend. She definitely doesn't sound like the sort of person who would get involved with tax fraud on a house purchase.

I’m sure it was only last week that I ready that Michele Mone was purchasing a £10 million house.

Yet here it says her and Barrowman’s PPE Medpro owe £39 million in taxes… not to mention repaying the £multi millions for duff PPE

We’d love people’s input to this! 👇 Where are the UK public sector reformers?

Help map the movement so that we can work out together how best to support it.

Grateful for RTs
Where are the public sector reformers? Can you help us find them?

At @kinship.works, we thought we'd try to map the different public sector reform 'tribes' & where to find them (orgs, events, networks/communities, online spaces, newsletters/publications/podcasts etc) - but we need your help!

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.

The whiter the area the more likely it is to have a Reform problem. Immigration isn’t the problem, otherwise you’d get Reform in more diverse areas - it’s fear of change among older people.

This gets to the core issue. Many mistakenly think "taxing the rich" means people on 6-figure salaries paying more tax, when it's actually about adequately taxing non-salary based wealth people accrue from assets.

That's what wealth tax actually means and it's why the rich s**t themselves about it.
