If the government really intends to seize jewellery and other valuables from refugees,
either
- it is staggeringly ignorant of the historical precedents
or
- it's aware of the precedents, and thinks, yeah, we'll have some of that.

I'm so glad that Zack Polanski is owning the spotlight & acting as a beacon for the UK left right now - because otherwise the Your Party shambles would be absolutely soul crushing, rather than just kind of funny at this point.

If the Chancellor stopped telling everyone what is in the ‘confidential’ budget (and then changing her mind), she wouldn’t be in this mess.

Budget 2025 income tax U-turn: What the hell just happened?
The Labour Party will no doubt feel relief today that the chancellor is not going to break the manifesto. But the shambles this week is staggering.

Trump also claims he fell out with Epstein because Epstein was being a "creep" around young girls at Mar-a-Lago. That is another lie. Being a creep around young girls was why Trump was friends with Epstein in the first place. They fell out over a bidding war on Florida real estate.

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.

Was watching a bit of ‘Little Britain does Comic Relief’ from 2007. And it was a lot of fun, but it seems now like a parallel universe.
I know it’s a cliche, but would they do this kind of material today? Not sure they’d risk it.
