George Box was right. Unfortunately the definition of "useful" in this case will be boiled down to "profitable".
Can anyone please explain what it is anyone means by this? And no not the definition, I mean “what is the thing actually being created here”

Fascinating look at possible reasons why Reform’s former leader in Wales Nathan Gill became a Russian asset using the CIA’s MICE spy recruitment framework: Money, Ideology, Compromise, Ego.
Like all good stories, it starts in a court - in this case, Llangefni County Court.

A really interesting post that puts James Watson in context.
Watson's original title for The Double Helix was Honest Jim.
I think it was honest, but only in the sense that it revealed Watson and not reality.
He was an ambitious, arrogant, misogynistic, and opportunistic man who managed to get himself into the right place at the right time.

Well worth the read. The fact that you study old things, doesn't automatically make you a historian.

You tell people to shut up or fuck off enough times and they just might do it.
Also fun that they refer to "AMs" in the linked article. Nice to know that they're on the ball and taking the election seriously.

Claiming Lab > Plaid switching is just about Reform is really unhelpful to Labour. Unhappy Labour voters have switched to Plaid in elections long before Reform (or UKIP) were on the scene.
And the rubbish about YouGov 🤯

Between this and the Financial Times charts showing an "explosive growth" in Reform Ltd. support by carefully ignoring previous Farage vanity vehicles, the narrative is really creaking today.
