Old crock. Climate action vital for our Earth. Progressive UK European opposed to Brexit insanity and Trump's fascism. Human rights for all. Oligarchs are an obscenity. Respect for all living species. Centre Left. Hope not Hate. No chat unless I know you.
Wikipedia's Angelika Stogis entry is being reviewed for deletion. It is on the technical grounds that she does not fulfil the guidelines criteria for notability. The entry has existed for six years, unchallenged. I see this is an act by Reform supporting activists.

Another example of the Joseph Goebbles approach to the truth. It seems Trump's administration has abandoned any pretence at integrity and indeed, it may be out of control.

Since Margaret Thatcher was consistently elected by an electoral minority the 1st past the post system has been unfit. It is now discredited and an impediment to democracy and a way in for an electoral minority extremist Party like Reform.

Jenrick is rotten to the core. As Tory housing minister he was quite happy to subvert the planning process to benefit Tory donors, and more than once.

.@PabloReports: Stephen Miller seems to be operating sort of as a shadow president at this point. Is there any legal liability he could face at the end of this presidency?

Ryan: There’s going to be legal—and I think criminal—liability for multiple members.. certainly Stephen Miller.

BBC report at a headline level that Grok will now not make sexually exploitative images any more. An actual reporter comes on and explains that it will do no such thing, and will just make the images invisible in the UK. These are two very, very different things.
