Itâs rare for foreign policy to shift domestic elections, but I think this explains why Israel-Palestine has become so salient. Israelâs war in Gaza posed the question of whether genocide can ever be a proportionate response. That is a fundamental moral litmus.

On March 26, 2026, during a debate on violence against women in Germanyâs Bundestag, left-wing MP Kathrin Gebel was repeatedly interrupted by AfD MP Martin Reichardt. She responded: âMr. Reichardt, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and youâre still more sensitive. Thatâs quite an achievement.â

A data-driven analysis of how the New York Times's treatment of transgender subjects shifted "from rights-based framing toward more skeptical, conflict-driven coverage" since 2014, centering trans-rights opponents over trans people themselves.

"Al Carns is calling for national service" "Streeting is calling for new North Sea drilling" "Burnham is calling for tax cuts for pensioners" "Starmer is banning children from social media" These are all the same policy, from people who do not believe in power (soon they won't have to)

Joining the chorus of disapproval for the under-16s social media ban. There *is* unhealthy usage and ill-effects in this age group, but this is the equivalent of dealing with school shootings by banning children from schools. Fix the platforms. They are poisoning *everyone*'s minds in the same way.

Also, laying the blame so fully on Musk - who is absolutely a dangerous and contemptible racist creep - is very convenient for the UK's newspapers, news channels and politicians who've either spread the self-same racist myths, 24/7, for decades, or have entirely abandoned any pushback against them.

The bottom left point of the line starts at nearly $10 billion, far more money than any human being has ever needed. This accumulation of wealth and its concomitant power in one personâs hands is unconscionable. Civilised societies should not allow it.

I get the impression that some people aren't clear what this means. This is the UK state deciding to intervene directly in the healthcare of individual children, depriving them of medicine that their doctors have prescribed for their personal health & wellbeing, in defiance of global best practice.

Hi! I'm Bret Rhett Chet, here to tell you why you should buy and hodl SpaceX stonk. For a mere $135/share, you get pro forma tangible book value of $7.85/share, an immediate 94% dilution. New investors are putting up 48% of all capital ever invested in SpaceX in exchange for 4.2% of the shares. /1

Tell me about it. I despair at the inaction that has become the calling card of the Prime Minister. No doubt there will be a statement about how angry he is and if the companies in question donât do something heâll launch a consultation. Heâs become the Paddington Bear Hard Stare of PMs.

there were already many reasons to do this but Elon Musk actively encouraging racist violence in Belfast should be the final straw for every UK government institution to stop doing business - including being on X - with him in any way, and for him to be barred from entry to the country.
