It’s tragic that a decent PM will be brought down by Mandelson’s sleaze – but it’s a matter of when, not if | Polly Toynbee
With three years left and a huge majority, Labour can govern with more humility and deliver real change. But with Starmer at the helm? I can’t see it, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

Truly worth reading if you want a better understanding of the links between Russia, US, Israeli, Farage and the reason why creating and maintaining a non-regulated currency such as crypto is so key to the success of the funding of populism and the far right #crypto #putin #thiel @bylinetimes

As many of us concluded years ago, this network of wealthy, elitists not only supported each other in the procurement and sexual abuse but saw nothing wrong with it. I’m sure it’s ongoing globally, and always will be until we hear and respect the voice of the victims. #epstein #marinahyde #sexcrimes

I’m sorry, but this is not just a political scandal. Time to refocus on the horrific mistreatment of women and girls, and the role of these ghouls, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

What do these corporations have in common?

They all reaped billions in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill — and are actively collaborating with ICE's deportation machine.
Always follow the money.

The old test in moral philosophy ‘what if everyone did that?’ is coming back to haunt us. LLMs only work because the information they are sucking up was not generated by LLMs. But as they drive more and more real researchers out of business they are building layers and layers on their own quicksand.

The ICE murders in Minneapolis are a “glimpse of what happens when fear and loathing of migrants curdles into toxic tribalism, another grim warning for all those European voters flirting with the far-right and dark forces of nationalism.”
That’s Reform in the UK.

Thoroughly stimulating and worthwhile visit to the Banksy Exhibition in London. He predicted the future accurately and with great foresight. So wonderful to see him stand up for Ukraine, Gaza and the refugees. Powerful to combine art with political messaging. #Banksy #art #politics #london
