Intrigued by the People’s Bookshelf at the National Library of Latvia. Each book in the collection has been donated by a member of the public and is inscribed by its former owner, telling a personal story relating to the book.

🚨 NEW: The BBC is facing criticism after Keir Starmer said the Verify unit backed his inheritance tax estimations on farmers

Shadow Culture Secretary Stuart Andrew: "The taxpayers pay for the BBC to be independent and free from bias, not for them to regurgitate Labour lines."

Social media use by age in Britain (with newspaper reading thrown in for fun)

Nearly two-thirds of people in their 70s use Facebook!

A huge fan of how the UK political system is seemingly made with the goal of maximising drama. You can argue about efficiency, democracy, all that stuff, but the dramatics are undisputed.

Catastrophic mistake from Scholz to appear to bring Putin in from the cold, he’s emboldened not ready to compromise. Western leaders should remember this is who we are dealing with.
Overnight Russia launched a massive drone and missile attack on Ukraine, targeting energy infrastructure. Most were shot down but some still made it through. Two people were killed in Mykolaiv, southern Ukraine, by a drone attack. Six others were injured, including two children.

Before the porridge moralists jump in, pls note, that the report found poorer households would have to *double* their food spend to be able to eat a healthy diet.

Poverty sickens society. Raise benefits & minimum wage, for cost effective benefits to society.

The MPs said afterwards that they staged the protest because they didn’t have a chance to properly oppose the bill, so I looked into it and it’s actually terrible:
- The debate only lasted 60mins
- Debate time limited to just 5mins per speaker
- Only 2 backbench speeches out of 11 overall
Māori MPs briefly suspended the Aotearoa parliament’s attempts to reinterpret their founding treaty in the most bad ass use of the Haka I’ve ever seen.
