The sit down with Maxwell sounded like a defense attorney prepping his client for a deposition or testimony. What a fucking crock of shit. Was he wearing his kid gloves

Well, I know no-one likes a smart arse, but me and Mark Carney did warn Trump last month how this ends!
Mark Carney says he's seen how this movie ends, just like everybody in the UK.
PM, Lizz Truss, tried to reduce the taxes for the rich with no way to pay for it. Treasury bonds suddenly had to raise their yields to buyers, so interest rates went up fast.
Bye Lizz!

Carole Cadwalladr just shared the words you didn’t know you needed to hear! 🔥

“In 2019, I called out the Gods of Silicon Valley.

I. was. wrong.

Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk - you are not Gods.

You are men. And you are careless." 🙌🏻🔥

This isn't a surprising but it is devastating.

The great betrayal of Ukraine begins.

We, in Europe, are in a place of danger.

We all owe Ukraine & its people a debt of gratitude for its extraordinary courage. 😢

Visit to the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield. To see Surreal Landscapes. Very interesting, several women artists who have been largely written out of history.
And a photo of a light effect in the cafe.

And I wish The Spectator did some basic checks on Miah before inviting him to appear as a guest with Isabel Hardman this week.

I wish more of the national media coverage reflected the fact that two leading experts looked into grooming allegations in Oldham and reported in 2022. They didn't find widespread grooming or a cover-up.

You may not be shocked to learn that Elon Musk has egregiously misled the world about the Oldham grooming story. I've been reporting on it for years and so much of the noise traces back to one bad faith rabble rouser called Raja Miah. This is the real story.

Elon Musk thinks there is a hidden grooming scandal in Oldham. Why can’t the police find it?
This week’s controversy can be traced back to a vicious online campaign that has terrified politicians – but struggled to substantiate its claims

Brilliant article from local journo explains the false basis for why Elon Musk thinks there is a hidden grooming scandal in Oldham. Why can’t the police find it?
