It's a truth as old as time.
When we used to watch the grovelling to the tyrannical leader in some movie or read about it in a novel, it was sometimes difficult to imagine it ever happening in a 'civilised' Western democracy, certainly not in our post WWII endless golden age.
How myopic we were.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Setting up a UK/EU payment system outside of Visa/MasterCard should be an imperative.
The US has already weaponised payment systems against Trump's perceived enemies using the sanctions regime.
Literally anyone who angers him could be next, including entire nation states.

The thing about weaponised interdependence is that other people, including your allies, might try and escape it, even if you don’t actually weaponise it.

But most journalists clean it up. We don't quote people like this.

Ugh. I almost lost my dinner.
My wife went on holiday with her friends and left me with a 'to do list'. I bought a robot vacuum cleaner to make things easy. I programmed it and went to work. Came back to a dog with a bad stomach, made much worse, by a robot dog poo paint roller.

This Panorama investigation into a possible Dorset police framing of an innocent man for murder is comprehensive in its debunking of the prosecution case, and utterly damning.
That Omar Benguit is still in jail (after 23 years) points to something deeply rotten in our justice system.

In case your mental arithmetic is a little rusty:
170,000 students claiming £5,000 each in Covid compensation
= £850,000,000
(Eight hundred and fifty million pounds).
Not sure the universities have that much to spare just now, tbh.

Matt Goodwin of Reform wants a head to head debate with the Greens, suggesting a Green-friendly host like Novara.
Why?
Normally an underdog/challenger tactic, not a frontrunner move
And/or Goodwin wants to boost Greens - and frame as Reform v Greens, more than Reform v Labour
