Cutting foreign aid in the same month as USAID has been extra-legally eviscerated by Musk-Trump is an absolutely diabolical decision for Starmer to have made. Without the world's top 2 aid spenders, who will rebuild Gaza? Who will feed Sudan approaching its third year of famine?

Was Labour's pledge on tax increases the worst decision (tactically, logically, economically, possibly by any measure) any incoming government has ever made?

For a country that doesn't half go on a lot about its revolution, America has absolutely no revolutionary tendency whatsoever. Politically motivated firing of senior generals is the kind of stupid game that wins you a coup in quite a lot of nations.

Anyone have any experience switching away from Chrome and Google more broadly? I'm sick of the AI features, and techno-fascism, and wonder if there are better alternatives people are using? Thinking particularly about browsers? Chrome is so bloated and riddled with Gemini. Firefox? Vivaldi? Others?

A defining feature of the Conservative party is that its leaderships consistently believe that other parties are intrinsically illegitimate and voting for them is some sort of character or personal flaw in the voter

Nothing advocates better the need for experienced career civil servants than seeing the harm a new money aristocrat, some programmers, and unrestricted AI chatbot can do and how quickly they can do it. Case in point: a known issue, and the ability to carry out a sniff test!

It's absolutely criminal that no TV channel in the UK has picked up the 4 Nations Face-Off games. 6pm puck drop tonight for Canada v Finland. The UK needs to wake up to how good ice hockey is!

Around 400,000 people work in universities across the UK, and more then 200,000 of them are academics. The closures and job losses we’re seeing in the sector just now are a major industrial crises affecting the key workplaces and economic drivers of hundreds of towns and cities.

This country in a nutshell: addicted to complaining. Brand new subway trains had some ride issues so people complained. Subway then has this fixed, obviously at a monetary cost, about which people now complain. The reason we can't have nice things is because people just don't appear to want them
