As being “free to make our own trade deals” has delivered the square root of jack shit and, as Brexiters still can’t tell us what EU regulations they want to scrap, closer alignment with the EU should be a no-brainer. Great work @bestforbritain.bsky.social www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

On CBC last night, I spelt out the moral case to keep on trying, however hard it might be. Defending the living planet is not an option we can abandon. Ultimately, it is all that counts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX2V...

NEW: Platformer has obtained the dehumanizing new guidelines moderating what people can now say about trans people on Facebook and Instagram. Employees tell me these changes are likely to inspire more violence against LGBT people: www.platformer.news/meta-new-tra...

Private equity sharks cash in on foster care. Just three made £40m profit from the plight of vulnerable children. Foster carers paid £7.50 an hour, treated as self employed, denied workers' rights, rely on benefits. Privatisation delivers exploitation. www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/market...

Found this buried on page 6 of today's times. If there had been a Tory government this would have been a front page banner headline.

Covid corruption commissioner starts fraud probe

Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94. His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.

They never had any intention of delivering the ‘alternatives to HS2’, did they? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023...
