I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Imagine trying to explain this to a shark.
It takes 225 million years or so for the Solar System to make one orbit around the galaxy. Sharks evolved long enough ago that they’ve done it twice.
Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

Okay, I can't let this one go. I live in Ireland, not the UK, but the use of this image by a supposedly socialist party is so stupid and offensive, I'm going to get stuck in.
Let me explain to you why any experienced illustrator/designer could have stopped you making so many miserable mistakes. 1/

The fall of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is no fall at all.
It comes ELEVEN years too late and has only happened as a damage limitation exercise.
We need to start having a grown up conversation about monarchy... and I'm starting it here.

This, by Will Lloyd, on the increasing absurdity of the monarchy, the irrelevance of 'Windsorism' in an age unmoored from God and deference, is just such a fantastic ride. Beautiful writing.
