We have had the perfect example this last weekend of why we urgently need to update how we regulate media.

The Guardian headline: Government drops health push after ultra-processed food firm lobbying.

Loads of Labour bashing results.

Yet paragraph 8 tells it happened 2yrs ago under the Tories.

The government’s new Planning and Infrastructure Bill could give businesses the green light to trash habitats and threaten wildlife. Say no to attacks on nature!

Is it Elon Musk or Donald Trump?

It's Canada v Trump and Musk, and Canada have threatened to put a 100% tariff on Tesla's.

Are you Team Canada?

I am.

At the heart of Canadian national memory is the awareness that Canadians twice came to the UK's aid in world wars years before the Americans showed up.

It will not be forgottem if the Brits now hide in a corner and say nothing when Canada faces existential threats.
Would be nice to see some UK politicians speaking up in support of Canada, which is blameless in this and with which Britain has far closer ties than it does with the US.

Nobody hold their breath.
