Systems "flicker" when abt to shift to something else. Well, we've had 6 UK PMs in the last 10 yrs (& a 7th soon-ish). "Our" governance systems can't cope. It's not 2016 (Brexit), or 2008 (GFC), it's 1979 (Maggie). Not that Keynesianism was a picture of health insideclimatenews.org/news/0407202...

“remarkably accurate statements” – Professor Michiel van den Broeke @mrvandenbroeke.bsky.social assesses a 1980 “CO2 Newsletter” article with the terrifying title "Glacier ice melt - how soon? how fast." allouryesterdays.info/2026/02/10/r... 1/n

Hello @joshgabbatiss.bsky.social - love Carbon Brief's work. Are you aware of allouryesterdays.info and @allouryesterdays.bsky.social

Having the lowest level of situational awareness and an even half functioning memory really is enough to drive you completely insane in this country isn't? I guess that's why our journalists strive so hard to make sure they have neither.

"A third of Britain’s postwar prime ministers have occupied No 10 in the past decade, despite only one change of governing party. This instability has much to do with an unprecedented squeeze in living standards and a hollowed-out public realm" 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Sherlock Holmes and his Good Advice. “It is of the highest importance in the art of detection to be able to recognize, out of a number of facts, which are incidental and which vital. Otherwise your energy and attention must be dissipated instead of being concentrated.”

Policing by consent at its finest.

When he ran Labour Together, Cabinet Office minister Josh Simons hired a PR firm to investigate journalists After our revelations, and a flurry of news stories, Simons finally gave his side of the story But it doesn't seem to tally with the facts... 🧵 democracyforsale.substack.com/p/mcsweeney-...

Not bad from Barry Gardiner. My summary - even at PMQs Starmer still had choices. He unerringly went for the worst possible course of action. Very on-brand. www.politicshome.com/opinion/arti...

"All the President's Oligarchs"

Nothing drives sexist racists more wild than evidence that there are women of colour smarter than them, who achieved more than they will ever achieve despite having various feet belonging to sexist racist inadequate bullies on their necks. It destroys their (unwarranted, obvs) sense of superiority.

"I think there will be a lot of soul-searching over the weekend." And if they search long enough they might find one. From Guardian comment feed (I took a brief break from work)

"and now the life has been crushed out of him and his heart broken, all through this accursed Hudson." Bwhahahahaha sherlock-holm.es/stories/pdf/...

cannot possibly convey how actually crazy-making it can feel, after spending 20 years monitoring all these orgs blaming sex workers and the internet for enabling a vast sex trafficking network, to now see Jeffery Epstein’s inbox

i will never stop thinking about the intersection of epstein and the shitty media men list

Minneapolis residents are trying a new tactic to slow and deter federal agents from entering city neighborhoods. Called filter blockades, they’re pop-up block parties in the middle of city streets, and they’ve already earned the ire of Trump border czar Tom Homan (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

While SW1 theorises that the Green surge is down to Polanski, SE4 reality says it’s 99% Starmer. One resident comes to the door having just read about Shabana Mahmood giving the police facial recognition technology. “As a black man, I don’t feel safe.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

11. This story is being spun as one bad apple. That awful man went off-piste and betrayed the national interest. Yes, he did, and he did it secretly in his disgraceful dealings with Epstein. But in other respects he undermined democracy with the full backing of the government. It was the policy.

10. Mandelson's betrayal was institutional. It was not a bug but a feature of the New Labour government. And it has been a feature of every government since.
