Age verification? I used to have to stand up and walk across the room to change TV channels.

There are no immutable rules keeping streets like this in Europe. Our urban environment is a reflection of what we commit to build. We don't have to let cars sterilize our landscape. It's a choice.

We should do this in the UK www.euronews.com/green/2026/0...

i think we all need to step back and realize that peak art was made when neolithic pot in the shape of a pig was fired

Great explainer from @ericlevitz.bsky.social about whether Trump is trying to rig the midterms (yes) and whether it'll work (almost definitely not, but the fact that we're having this conversation at all is not great, bob) ... gift link

Nah, I only really like your early stuff.

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 sure I buy Anas Sarwar's "fury", given that Mandelson's links to Epstein were already in the public domain when he posed with him in April 2025, calling him "my old friend".

Went for a walk with the Dopey Spaniels and MyAmazingWife™. It was nice.

This is the report I spoke of on #bbcaq just now - ministers tried to suppress it, were finally forced to release it after an FoI, but shamefully only published a redacted version. The first duty of Govt is to protect its citizens - that starts with being honest with us about scale of threat we face

I went around the world From LA to Japan I never found a place with parking Quite like Cwmbran.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The 50 wealthiest families in the UK own more than 34 million people combined. That level of inequality is totally unsustainable. A wealth tax isn’t radical - it’s inevitable. And the Green Party will keep making the case.

Dunt, excoriating on McSweeney asking if Mandelson could be US amb. part time, replacing Karen Pierce: “This [offers an] indication of Westminster’s relative assessment of value: One full-time experienced woman is worth less than a part-time inexperienced man.” iandunt.substack.com/p/starmers-m...

So Team Starmer couldn’t ’possibly have known’ Mandelson was lying about his relationship with a convicted paedophile. Despite mountains of publicly available evidence. Yet they spent £30,000 on private investigators trying to dig dirt on journalists who asked them troublesome questions? 🤔

For MPs to expect us to be tapped up for £40bn - forty billion pounds - to repair the Palace of Westminster shows just how out of touch they are. And a fascinating glimpse of their sentimentality emerges when you learn that relocation is off the table. How about a new build in, say, Sheffield?

Corporate contrition for Kernow/Cymraeg cock-up.

The paid and unpaid facets of the Labour PR machine are in full swing following yesterday's vote on lifting the 2-child benefit cap, crowing about how many children this will lift out of poverty. But how many children were avoidably pulled into poverty because Labour dragged their feet doing it?
