The BBC World Service will run out of funding in just seven weeks. Its funding arrangement with the Foreign Office finishes at the end of March. There is no plan for what happens next.

1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

Farage is blathering on about the poor English skills of certain members of the community, without naming Tommy Robinson fans.
He got it wrong though. Poor maths skills?
Or his geography skills (where is Clacton?)
Reading skills? (should I disclose this "donation"? Is it really mine?)

Absolutely true. Especially that our vibrant multi-cultural fabric is under threat.
Multi-culturalism is sustained by every mixed marriage, every child with multiple heritages, every arts project that garners from different histories, every fusion of food, every chord and rhythm we map to our own.

2/ If Starmer wants to protect the vibrant multi cultural fabric of the UK, he must scrap his divisive "earned settlement model".
These plans will mean some people will have second class rights throughout their adulthood, preventing many from flourishing & reaching their potential.

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.
It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.
Just wow.

Of course, I cannot condemn enough these terrible statements, trumpeted so loudly these days to either cow us, or make us all appear complicit.
