There’s a solid majority of voters who loathe Reform, Farage, and their Trumpist vision for the UK. All the other parties need to do is not implode and/or alienate the people they need to vote tactically to keep out the populist right. And yet, here we are…

The daft thing is that with Proportional Representation there'd be no need for this self-destructive war within Labour. It could split into its component parts - left and right - and people could vote for what they wanted. It's only First-Past-the-Post that forces these irreconcilables together.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Epstein was in and out of Russia every few months according to his travel documents, but Mandelson was partying in nightclubs in St Petersburg and regularly in Moscow.
How did our intelligence services fail to pick this up? Or were their reports and investigations suppressed?

Industrial heat is one of the hardest parts of the energy transition.
This sand battery is now delivering fossil-free heat for industry, storing renewable electricity as high-temperature heat and releasing it when needed. Simple idea, big impact.

Once again with feeling: net zero is primarily a scientific target, not an ideological marker. Until the global economy gets to net zero emissions temperatures will continue to rise up to and beyond the point that the resulting pressure on food systems and human civilisation becomes intolerable.
Yes, god help we risk a floundering government that feels like no one is in charge.

@simonlightwoodmp.bsky.social sending this to you, as requested - with a recommendation to sign up to @carolecadwalla.bsky.social and other independent journalists, to keep a balanced view on the behind the scenes realities.
Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit
Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

This is excellent & draws out something the rest of the media is ignoring: among other things, the Epstein files have made it super, super clear that the entire "anti-woke" cultural hysteria was engineered by powerful men averse to accountability.
I wrote about the Epstein files (gift link) www.theverge.com/tech/874721/...
How the men in the Epstein files defeated #MeToo
The emails show the “anti-woke” crusaders are afraid of accountability.

This is capitalism synchronised with venal corruption. As it has always been since before the enclosure acts.
TrumpRx supposedly helps people pay less for prescription drugs.
In reality, it sends users to pharma giants’ websites, where they can pay out of pocket for certain medications.
One company that could benefit? BlinkRx, which has Donald Trump, Jr. on its board.
Funny how that works.
