New Epstein emails show Peter Mandelson secretly advising JPMorgan’s CEO on how to fight Labour’s 2009 bankers’ bonus tax - even suggesting he “mildly threaten” the Chancellor.
Mandelson was Business Secretary at the time.
A year later, he was seeking work with JPM.

TikTok says it’s the ultimate wake-up call. But does the fitness craze have any downsides – apart from waking up the neighbours?

Amazon has placed a VERY specific product warning on the published edition of the Kenneth Williams diaries. The incident that prompted this surely deserved more media attention.

Interesting sight while out this weekend. Lampposts around the primary area for the flag shaggers have very clearly had the flags cut down. The people who did it have left the cable ties and bits of the flags, so when Barry Racist gets his ladders off the van, he'll have to cut the rest down.

Did the classic thing when taking an electrical appliance apart to fix/clean it.
Put it back together. Switch it on, it’s dead.
Ah hell, thinks I. I was careful and triple checked everything. It can’t be broken completely.
Had I plugged it back in?
No, I had not.

All you need to know about user focused development tools.
Trying to do something in PowerApps. Sketch out idea, use CoPilot and MS docs to check. Paste into PowerApp - shows an error.
Except my notes are right. Copilot is right. The DOCUMENTATION tells you to do it this way.
And yet it errors.

Tell you who we don’t hear from so much any more. People who told us Brexit will be fine because “we’ll just forge a closer relationship with the United States”.

be nice if Chris Mason et al were able to pause their attempts to write soap opera storylines and paid attention to their favourite boy’s plans
The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.
It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.
