A couple of days ago, I was wondering where Sarah Malone is now, and whether she regrets her association with #Trump. Today I found out, due to her truly bizarre statement about Jack Polanski, that she still works for Trump and is still a sycophantic fuckwit.

The Institute of Economic Affairs has appointed as their new head a Conservative peer who earlier this week tweeted a chunk of Enoch Powell's Rivers of Blood speech on its anniversary in apparent approval. File yet again under: probably wouldn't have happened five years ago.

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

"Spain, rarely the center of gravity in European affairs, has become the standard-bearer for Europeans frustrated at the continent’s fear of standing up to a U.S. president." www.wsj.com/world/europe...

Israel killed every single person in this photo in Lebanon. Every. Single. One. All journalists. Targeted and assassinated intentionally. For reporting the truth from the frontlines.

So, some reflections prompted by the combination of the launch tonight of the 1926 Irish Census exhibition at the British Academy and Suella Braverman's comments earlier in the Telegraph on the teaching of a 'patriotic curriculum' under a prospective Reform government. 1/6 #Skystorians

"At first, rescue workers were able to get to Faraj, who was seriously wounded, as well as recover the bodies of two people killed in the first air strike. But Israeli forces fired on the rescuers, forcing them to halt attempts to reach Khalil, the ministry said." aje.news/252c85?updat...

Been catching up on today’s news about Reform’s plans to introduce a ‘patriotic’ British history curriculum. Can I point you all to my BBC radio series, which explored just how problematic state-led national history textbooks can be? www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/serie...

On this day in 1979, schoolteacher Blair Peach was murdered by police officers for attending a protest against the National Front. His murderers were protected from prosecution, and the Coroner aided the cover-up. Never forget. #ACAB #AbolishPolice #fascism #BlairPeach

I've never quite been sure whether Pippa is ridiculously gullible or in on the Labour right's shameless PR. Possibly both?

Would you like to have to present your ID every time you want to go to the gym, or the swimming pool, or try on clothes at M&S? That's what Sex Matters are suggesting for *everyone*, in our new gender-policed world.

Under Secretary Hung Cao now takes over. The NYT says he is: "more aligned with Mr. Hegseth, especially on some of the social and cultural battles" He says: I'm worried about witches.

Today was lost to the Right a long time ago.

Deciding against a man whose ego is cocaine-driven in favour of a man whose ego doesn't need cocaine. I suppose there is a logic in that.

This is an extraordinary, searing interview. In the context of the repulsive new Jackson biopic, it raises questions about why so many people just don’t want to know what he did. FWIW I saw Leaving Neverland before HBO pulled it, and I absolutely believe those kids.

🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer messaged Peter Mandelson the night before he announced him as US Ambassador “You’ll be brilliant in challenging circumstances. And after many years of our discussions, we get to work together side by side. I really look forward to that” [@ShippersUnbound]

it is devastating to notice how few benches there are in the world and how some benches have been replaced by weird "leaning" things. the world is incredibly cruel to disabled, elderly, poor, pregnant, tired, homeless, and all people. there should be benches fucking everywhere for everyone

So @sickkidsvs.bsky.social @sickkidsto.bsky.social is raising money by giving way one of the things mostly likely to kill kids. A different meaning to sick kids, I guess. Really shameful stuff.

Genuinely funny.

Diana Magnay: "Amal Khalil was doing what a journalist should do, incredible bravery to go down there & try & document what was happening in her country & lets be honest about this, Israel has targeted & killed other journalists.. they have killed hundreds of journalists in Gaza"

Incredible how @mattyglesias.bsky.social says Martina Navratilova isn't a bigot the day after she baselessly calls an innocent trans woman forced to flee the UK, a sexual predator. It's not about her interest in sports Matt!

I could say a million things to try and convince you to pre-order MONSTERS IN LOVE: A PRIDE ANTHOLOGY but nothing could be as effective as just showing the insane murderer's row of queer comics talent assembled here in one issue. @readtinyonion.bsky.social and @darkhorse.com went buckwild.

Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was killed today in a targeted Israeli strike. The IDF fired live rounds and stun grenades at the Red Cross ambulances trying to reach her. She is the 4th journalist killed by Israel while in the field since 2 March. Photo via X @HindRFoundation.

Fascism, pure and simple.

Lebanese journalists Amal Khalil was found dead under the rubble following an Israeli strike after which Israeli forces fired at ambulances trying to reach and rescue her. Her death is the 15th killing of a journalist by Israel since 7 October 2023 and the fourth since 2 March 2026.

Israeli genocide scholar Omer Bartov will have his book on Zionism and genocide translated into 9-10 languages, but not Hebrew. He even offered to translate it himself, but not a single Israeli publisher would go near it. Not even the ‘leftwing’ ones. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

IDF commanders told Haaretz that southern Lebanon is being demolished “like Gaza.” The declared goal is to prevent civilians from being able to return. Both are war crimes punishable under international law. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

He can't even be arsed to deny it.
