Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations

When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

I wouldnt mind MPs getting a pay rise if they also had the decency to ban MPs second jobs, and ban them from receiving gifts like £15k sunglasses.

As most other Danes, I am beginning to find this nonsense tiresome.

Our Viking ancestors were settled in Greenland more than 500 years before Columbus set sail for the New World. Any infringement of our national sovereignty must be met with an appropriate response.

I have never been so simultaneously optimistic (Lenacapavir) and pessimistic (political fuckwitery) about the future of HIV treatment.

This is superb 👇
Looks like a once a year intramuscular Lenacapavir injection can maintain systemic drug concentrations at a level exceeding those shown to be protective in 6monthly dosed PrEP trials.

12 months protection from HIV acquisition is the potential here. 1 shot!

Huge!

This country is awash with money. The very rich are rich beyond imagination. So when Starmer wants to stay within his arbitrary fiscal rules, who does he decide to take money from? The very rich? No, from people with disabilities who depend on benefits for the bare minimum of a decent life.

There is nothing, simply nothing, to emulate about Trump and Musk’s slash-and-burn vindictiveness.
It is borne of prejudice, corruption and revenge. It is not efficiency. It is failure. It has no redeeming features and it betrays both America and the world. Labour, you must tell a different story.

In journalism it's important to reflect both sides,listen, understand nuance,be aware of your bias
It’s also important to call out facts that aren’t true
Trump suggested Ukraine started the war with Russia
That is not true.Facts matter.If you want to end a war,you need to face up to how it started

The Mekons - Ghosts of American Astronauts
Reverb-drenched and wistful, this 1988 minor indie hit evokes America's post-Vietnam/space race disillusionment. Lovely melody & vocals by Sally Timms.
