Paul Nolan has finally been jailed. He has spent the last 18 months harassing and intimidating asylum seekers and posting evidence of his crimes online under his own name. Glad to see this happen but unsure why it took so long.

Heard a bit of this on #r4today. Labour should out-flank Reform on this and call for a similar UK policy to the one in Denmark. Lottery for call-ups, no exceptions. More democratic, more fair, and shows up Farage for the Putin stooge that he is. Notice Reform doesn't actually want a stronger UK?

This is Nixon cancelling the Apollo program, redirecting funds to resurrect the Edsel, and selling NASA to Moscow for scrap.
The latest version of the Senate's BBB is a death sentence for US energy leadership and a giant gift to China.
It eliminates tax cuts for solar that have been around since 2005, adds a new tax on solar after 2027, and creates a new direct subsidy for coal.
