For every idiot like Ted Cruz, Bill Ackerman and Josh Hawley you find at Harvard, there are people like Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski, a 1st generation American who finished with a 5.0 at MIT and got her doctoral degree in theoretical physics at Harvard. Many people call her the next Einstein.

The OBR is run independently from Government. It literally was somebody else's fault.

Blanche didn’t ask Maxwell a single question about any of these emails. Then he moved her to Club Fed where she is served individual meals and has a puppy and numerous other special privileges while she prepares her clemency petition. WHY?

This statement about “young children” being something under 14 seems particularly detestable given Trump’s close personal relationship with Jeffery Epstein.

On X I used data to show London does not have the highest crime rate in the world.
10 mins later a right winger linked to my book.
10 mins after that I got 40 1-star reviews from unverified accounts (previously 4.9 star avg). Fair play to Amazon - they removed them all.
But that's how it works.

Interesting take. I wish balance-conscious broadcasters would discuss politics in this way. Would generate a far more interesting & nuanced discussion than insisting on having several hard right spokesperson for every progressive/ left of centre representative.
My most centrist dad take is that most governing politicians deserve sympathy because almost every policy that's actually any good for the country is unpopular, and almost every popular policy is probably bad.

This is a disturbing piece of(excellent) journalism by @lewisgoodall.com. I was going to include quotes but there are too many - just read it. What successive British governments did to the country and people of Afghanistan is deplorable. So bad, in fact, they didn't want to public to know...
For 2 years, 2 govts used a secret court to hide the truth: they put 100,000 Afghans at risk of death. They used constitutionally unprecedented methods to prevent reporting.
My reflections on two years on this story and why it must ever happen again.

I wish someone in Labour spoke like this about the cuts to PIP payments that their OWN party is messing about with. We need an AOC
AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."
