I am convinced that Europe’s ‘new right’ is a radically contemporary movement. Defeating it means understanding its critique of liberalism, says Mark Leonard of the European Council on Foreign Relations

This is merely one loophole, I worked with a senior Tory (unfortunately) and there are many loopholes that are costing the UK billions. Close them and we would not have to worry about future taxes on the rest of us.

Wealthy use loophole to conceal value of £300m in Scottish land sales
Prices paid for large estates not being disclosed on official register, land reform advocates say
Land reform campaigners are alarmed at the increasing use of a legal loophole that allows landowners to conceal the price paid for Highland estates from the public register.
Andy Wightman, a land reform analyst, said the loophole meant the prices paid in more than £300m-worth of Highland property transactions were not disclosed on the register. Continue reading...

As Bill McKibben notes, costs have flipped so dramatically that renewables now undercut coal itself 📉🔥.

Lithuanian Olympic uniforms by Issey Miyake for the 1992 games in Barcelona. This was Lithuania's first time in the Olympics after gaining independence from the Soviet Union. Fabric was cut and shaped using heat, not scissors or sewing machines.

Those who know me—which I suppose is very few on Bluesky—probably guessed I’d write at least one album of love songs as Hounds.
This song, and in fact this whole album, is for my wife... the most profoundly good person I've ever known or will ever know.
Goodnight, all. Sleep well and wake brave.

So far Starmer is the only person I have heard apologising to the victims. Or even mentioning them. Not the press. Not the leader of the opposition (a woman), no one in the other parties. All too busy making it all about them. Well shame on them.
Pity the media in U.K. ( Mason, LK, Rigby , Channel 4 .. Guardian etc ) , the opposition parties and the FEW Labour MPs making their own naked ambition to remove Starmer so clear , aren’t as reasoned and straightforward! She shames them all !!

The wave of support for Keir Starmer has left me emotional this morning.
It feels Like our country has woken from a drugged slumber that was poisoned by populists and racism.
We’ve changed overnight. It’s impressive.

Great to meet architect George Clarke at Wingspan Walk in Tottenham Hale, a new social housing development from Haringey Council delivering hundreds of genuinely affordable homes.
A strong example of what can be achieved when we invest in building the homes Londoners need.

I think the Media misjudged the #SolidarityWithStarmer in the electorate. They believed their own hype. Which is the trouble with being in a bubble.
People feel better off and can see money being invested in our Country. People are not mugs. They can see Starmer is decent and on their side.
