Nadiya Hussain post on Instagram that after ten years of making cookery shows for the BBC, they have now told her they no longer want to commission her show. "As a Muslim woman I work in an industry that doesn't always support people like me... There's a lot of gaslighting" she says.

Some simple budget math: Give out $4 trillion in tax cuts and cut spending by $1 trillion, and you'll get a $3 trillion increase in the national debt. Denying these realities doesn't change them (and yes, the bond market has noticed).

Pop quiz! Is this the market saying it thinks: a) Tesla's value was significantly reliant on Elon skimming governments contracts by being Trump's bestie? b) The Trump administration will use the machinery of government to enact personal vengeance? c) Both? Whatever the market says, I say "lmao".

At this point the Epstein files have probably been passed around to so many unsecured devices in the Trump administration that every major European, Russian and Chinese intelligence service has them all too

Appreciate everyone is focused on the memes but Yusuf quitting Reform & the Musk-Trump spat on same day is a good illustration of how fragile the Populist Right - Libertarian tech bro coalition is. When it works it works for them, but ends up as fundamental interest misalignment

There was a lot of press around Liz Truss sending Keir Starmer a lawyer's letter threatening action. Has anything happened as a result? Starmer clearly hasn't met her demands, and I guess from the silence she hasn't taken action. So why no follow-up reporting showing she was full of shit?

Trump spent 75 minutes on the phone with Putin. He praised him, talked about teaming up on Iran, but apparently never called on him to stop targeting innocent civilians. What a disgraceful way to treat our allies and the brave people of Ukraine.

I'd add this doesn't change the need to scrap the two child limit which largely affects a different group of kids who are already FSM eligible and whose households are right at the bottom of the income distribution

"What about religious identity?" Matt Goodwin's projection has only two categories: Muslims and Not-Muslims Muslims: 19% by 2100 Not Muslims: 81% by 2100 It seems quite strange to have no mention of Christians; nor of Hindus, Jews, Sikhs, or agnostics/No Religion Just Muslims and not Muslims

This is pretty devastating. Lutnick admits that tariffs were never about reciprocity, eliminating foreign trade barriers, or negotiating better deals. They just don't like international trade. Period. He even says about imports: "we don't want other people making them."
