Magical thinking latest: that you can have an effective child poverty strategy while leaving the big lever marked 'this lever guarantees child poverty' untouched.

Ok. Seen this a number of times. It's grim. She is a victim of male abuse who funds rape crisis centres, he is a perpetrator of male abuse who rapes women. This is a shameful, shameful comparison.

I’ve been reminded that it’s a decade since I wrote this - it’s all very basic and obvious now, but at the time not much like it existed, and I’m still proud of it sexandgenderintro.com

I’m just checking for Chris Mason’s many pieces about it being unfair for the Tories to blame the last Labour government from 2011-2024 but all I can find is him blowing their ego about how great that was www.bbc.com/news/article...

Yet another example of the BBC's "report the 'controversy', not the facts" approach. Are white South Africans actually being persecuted? We given lots of opinions, hard facts not so much. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Nearly cut off my little finger inserting garlic slices into a lamb joint using an unnecessarily sharp knife. A bloodbath ensued, then a four hour operation to repair the damage to tendon, nerves and arteries.

Just watching the awful Mason on #BBCNEWS, and my lord what an appalling journalist. The question on being a rule taker in future was pure idiocy - we are de facto a rule taker and have been since brexit.

I’m old fashioned enough to think the BBC should be leading on what the deal is and what it means. Rather than the political claims from both sides.

Enjoying listening to floundering brexiters on #BBCPM. Some minor tweaks to their terrible deal and they’re wetting themselves.

I also remember this. The organisation I then worked for was instructed to reduce testing. Appalling.

This is gobsmacking. I remember this offer from the Crick at the time and was astonished it wasn’t taken up.

I think, if you’re an LFC fan who’s not from Liverpool, you might not get the TAA boos. Yes, he’s spent 20 since the club since he’s been 6. But you just don’t leave the club on a free for a team that can’t even be arsed to pay a fee for your services. You. Just. Don’t. #LFC #YNWA #RedSky

What a disgrace Fico is. At different times Russian imperialists attacked virtually every country close to Slovakia, including in 1968, Czechoslovakia itself. Russians are not “heroes”. They are perennial predators.

Do you know what binary biological trait is determined by just a single gene though? Sex. SRY is necessary, if not sufficient, to develop the male phenotype.

When will MSM, especially BBC R4 and C4 News understand that Dr James Orr is a christo-fascist to the core and a dire apologist for JD Vance. Don't be deceived by those velvet, Oxbridge tones. He's despicable. Witness tonight's C4 interview and R4's 'Today' Podcast www.politico.eu/article/jd-v....

Overseas pressure groups targeting civil society in the UK is something that urgently needs more scrutiny. The National Trust has frequently been campaigned against via a group whose directors and funders are thousands of miles away. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

It’s amazing that things like cutting FDA funding are never framed as, “I think private companies should be able to profit from having you literally eat shit and you shouldn’t be able to do anything about it”
