WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Ironically, and off the top of my head, she is immediately ‘cancelling’ Ophelia, Desdemona, Portia, Othello & Shylock. Also, why does she think so many female characters dressed up as men to enjoy agency or, while we’re here, they were all literally played by actual males for years?

Bertrand Russell, in 1948. Extraordinary to realise how pessimistic people were during an era we now associate with optimism. And reassuring to realise that things sometimes turn out OK, even when everyone thinks we're fucked.

Remember, Jimmy Carter put his family-owned peanut farm in a blind trust, before being sworn in, to avoid any suggestion of conflict of interest. Fifty years later, it's hard to tell apart The White House from The Shopping Channel. ~AA

Today marks nine years since Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right extremist, a terrible loss to those who knew and loved her and to politics. Zero lessons were learned though and the far-right continues to be pandered to. With more political assassinations in the US it all feels too familiar.

Remarkable that it’s often foreign press who report honestly on the damage Brexit inflicted on ourselves. British farming sacrificed. Shellfish exports crushed. Small food exporters priced out. Costs up, red tape up, markets lost. Food security destroyed. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/b...

Lots of people sharing this... but as with so many stories in the tabloid press... when you actually read it you discover that all is not as presented in the header. Perhaps "travel influencer quits UK because the schools won't let her take kids on holiday during term time" wasn't sexy enough

Don't let the Tories and the Reform Party Ltd claim credit for the announcement of an inquiry into grooming gangs. It's the recommendation by Louise Casey who carried out a review at the behest of Yvette Cooper. It's nothing to do with the Tories or Reform.
