⚠️ "I'm told that calling the left the party of murder, and saying violence is coming, and you better fight back or you die, is not enough to prosecute this odious man. But we don't have to do business with him, do we?"

There was a 19% increase in recorded religious hate crimes against Muslims last year in England and Wales, according to new ONS figures.
This compares to just a 3% rise over the past year among all religious groups targeted by hate crimes

Are we really going there, are UK politicians really parroting the absolute nonsense - dangerous nonsense - being spouted by Trump and other US politicians? Paracetamol was invented in 1878 and has been *extensively* studied. Perhaps we should shine a light on who funds Reform?
Richard Tice doubles down on questioning the safety of paracetamol, and wants to "shine the spotlight of the disinfectant of sunshine on the issue"

Quite apart from Tice going out to defend Farage's shady house purhcase and making things ten times worse, for the guy who says he will be the next UK Chancellor of the Exchequer to end on: "I'm not a tax expert - you're asking the wrong guy," is objectively hilarious. ~AA

RIP George Reid (4 June 1939-12 August 2025) at the age of 86. He was a towering force in the SNP & Scottish public life. A SNP MP from Feb 1974 to 1979, MSP from 1999-2003, long-term supporter of Scottish independence, & a journalist & internationalist who worked for the Red Cross. A major loss.

Incredibly important report on AI training & copyright released today by the European Commission. It gets lots right, slamming the idea that creators should be required to opt-out of having their works used for free by AI companies.
It says:
