Forgive me if I'm wrong, I can't think of a single politician who campaigned hard for Brexit who has since come out and said that they think it was a mistake. Surely, in their heart of hearts, literally one or two of them must know that. So is it that they can't admit it to themselves or just to us?

Billionaires want you to hate immigrants, so we don’t blame them for our problems.

Brilliant journalism as always from @carolecadwalla.bsky.social & @thenerve.news
This needs amplifying. Perhaps @ZackPolanski.bsky.social could give it volume on Kuenssberg tomorrow, as he did during #bbcqt
Who else is on? Bring it up. Force it into the discussion if necessary!

Next week, Reform faces a key by-election in Wales. Yet voters in Caerphilly know none of this.
Even tho Reform’s candidate is Nathan Gill’s former assistant.
We are at a critical point of failure in Britain. The delay of the authorities, the silence of the media..

Letter to the editor:
£5bn over ten years to “restore pride” in Britain’s poorest areas?
That’s less than the EU, in its time, gave us every year.
Ambitious? Hardly.

A better world is possible
According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted & 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.
Just the start.
Common sense.

Tip of the hat to @mrphoenix.bsky.social. Those are pages from his amazing graphic novel, "Crash Course," on the wall in the background. Another book that should definitely be in your collection if you care about safe streets.

Turning this description over to my colleague with the headline “frisky business” which I recognize is probably too much of a deep cut pun—but cheers to all my frisket fans out there.
After the capuchin caper I spent the evening trying to figure out why half this page in my Greek psalter is upside down. At 7:30 I figured out that the typesetter reused some previously set type as bearer type to balance the page on the press—but the pressmen didn’t realize and just inked it
