Le Monde, "French MPs vote through the left's wealth tax on the ultra-rich" Your reminder that a 2% wealth tax on those with £10 million, affecting 0.04% of the UK population, would raise £24 billion a year You have to wonder why Labour chose not to do this..

This is so unconscionable. Elon Musk is personally extorting Ukraine to get access to their minerals for his car batteries. Once again, Elon Musk is an existential threat to everyone on this planet. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

If road deaths were a virus, we’d call it a pandemic. Safer transport helps us all – and we need it urgently. Deaths on the road costs countries up to 5% of GDP. Centring transport around people, not cars, can propel development. www.theguardian.com/global-devel... via @theguardian.com @who.int

Both did fascist salutes. But actually, when you stop and look at it, they both did them really badly. It's a sinister, dark gesture that, if it wasn't a fascist mark, might not look so bad. So how do they manage to make it look so shit?

This is where Liz Truss & Nigel Farage both spoke. Any media in this country need to ask them are they fully on board with nazi salutes now. Truss needs stripping of any money we the UK taxpayers pay her, enough is enough now.

An under-explored aspect of motonormativity is what I call Chekhov's Bicycle. If a character is seen cycling in a TV show or film, then they will almost certainly be involved in a crash.

"Pharmaceutical companies with COVID-19 treatments may be wary of testing them as long COVID therapeutics. If a long COVID trial were to fail, that could leave a negative perception of their drug’s usefulness in acute COVID-19. In long COVID, it's still COVID. It's a branding problem."

Whoever suggested Starmer should inveigle a visit to The White House needs to give their head a wobble. It is an opportunity for Trump to humiliate Starmer and the UK, and Trump will grab it with both hands.

Absolute stand-out logic here from Farage: Ukraine should be able to hold an election in wartime because Britain held one between VE and VJ Days. Yes, if the nearest frontline to Ukraine in the Russo-Ukraine War was 5,000 miles away, I’d probably expect them to hold elections on schedule too.

This is bad enough but it will get worse once Bhattacharya is there. His malicious administrative fuckery will be more targeted & more effective. Get ready for grants conditioned upon ideological purity tests, loyalty oaths, & institutional compliance. Blacklists & retribution for dissenters.
