New billboard in Clacton, Farage’s constituency. He’s still the UK’s #1 grifter. No other MP takes more from second jobs while being employed to represent their constituents in Parliament

Towards the end of this episode, @maitlis.bsky.social does an excellent job of pinpointing the key dynamics in play were not just race, but class and misogyny also. Throughout, Andrew Norfolk provides the best account and analysis you are ever likely to hear on this topic: youtu.be/AHntVVOQRGY?...

Lots of people commenting on the So called grooming gang issue in following some “intervention” from the USA They might want to consider that Starmer left office as DPP with the highest conviction rate for child sexual abuse since records began

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image. All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

I wonder how tax changes "cost the life" of a farmer who does not know of them when he dies? Obviously The Times is against measures that tax wealth but this is 🤯.
