Spent today doing vox pops in Clacton, a place Farage never goes unless he wants a photo op, something the locals agreed with. He’s in the US for the SEVENTH time since July, yet this is the first thing you see as you enter town, it’s been there since December. A metaphor for voting Reform.

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.

UK Tory govt spent £50,000 to stop release of review into disabled man’s death. DWP wrongly stopped his benefits, leaving him with no income. He weighed 4.5 stone when body found, eight months after benefits were stopped. Govt tried to conceal murder. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The story behind this picture. This guy got bitten by a Rattlesnake it cost him £153k to save his life. They charged him $83,341.25 for antivenom that cost them $2,500. That is private healthcare and there was nothing he could do except pay.

Remember the FBI informant who claimed President Biden took millions in bribes from Burisma? He admitted today in federal court that he made the whole thing up. And that he started spinning new lies after meeting with Russian intelligence. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Staff answering calls at councils are likely to have a tedious job & callers can often be challenging. However when asking what support might be available for a friend, do they really have to sound so robotic and detached? That would make me angry if I was asking for help.

Bluesky is brilliant for the Bylines Network. 🦋 So much better than X or Facebook. It doesn’t kill news links, the news mix is healthier here, and it’s an ideal environment for community-building. Our citizen journalism is thriving here. Keep it up @bsky.app!

We finally know the name of the mystery taxpayer who bought a dodgy tax avoidance scheme and tried to obtain an anonymity order to keep his fight with HMRC out of the press. It's Frankie Dettori.

I think this meant to say “Exploitative bosses will sack sick staff under Rayner’s rights overhaul”. The amount of panic about these reforms is becoming absolutely ridiculous.

Word of the day is ‘quafftide’ (16th century): the season for drinking. Also a pithy way of declaring that it’s time to relax. Works for hydropots (water drinkers) just as well.

I don’t think Justin Welby gives a shit about the survivors of the predator he failed to report. Ian Hislop spoke about confronting him the day after his resignation as he had fun at a gala, no fucks given. He’s entitled and enabled, like most men of his ilk that are wrongly in a position of power.

Trump's margin of victory—in a country of 342 million—is down to 2.2 million and 1.47%. His vote share is <50%. Republicans for now have only a 1-vote majority in the House. Things are so bad for Trump in the Senate that he's floating illegally dismissing the entire body. This is his "mandate."

A huge amount of effort is currently being expended into trying to make the prospect of Nigel Farage becoming Prime Minister appear to be anything other than a ludicrous joke. Here’s why www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/nigel-fara...
