A fact being ignored even more than usual: 70% of the money from abolishing the two-child limit will go to families who are in work (via @ippr.org).

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should

The US isn’t great because it’s powerful – it’s powerful because it’s great and the moment it starts using that power to acquire more greatness it would lose it all.

Idea: whining about your taxes in the press comes with a *free* wallet inspection from HMRC just to make sure you're not over paying

The UK has a regulated TV market because we understood the power of mass reach. Back in the day newspapers had more local circulation and impact and often will have fierce competition. The internet changed that, all newspapers are now national media and have higher responsibility towards the public.

Gosh, Laura Bates' 'The New Age of Sexism' is extraordinary. This is a book every policy maker, certainly every male policy maker, needs to read.

Theory: We replaced "experiencing art" with "having opinions about art" and this explains why everyone has takes on movies they haven't seen. You don't need to read the book anymore, you just need to know which side you're on.

Only three days left to grab a truly unreasonable deal on toxic lesbian literature! If you're a connoisseur of sicko, you're unlikely to see another opportunity like this for quite some time~ itch.io/b/3364/poiso...

Energy systems are at the heart of climate change, technology, and the future of how we live, but they’re far more complex than most people realise. This is a great explainer video by @chrisjardineenergy.bsky.social that helps to make sense of the energy system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCXG...

Menopause is a major neurological event in which the brain rewires itself. It is a coordinated shift in brain metabolism, connectivity & cognition—on a scale comparable to puberty. www.zmescience.com/feature-post...

Today we’ll get latest net immigration figures - They’ll show immigration for work is plummeting. Why is this not part of the discussion on Rachel Reeves balancing her books & stalled growth? For every 100,000 drop in net immigration, the OBR adds £7bn to the deficit. #r4today

That pro-trans bias just keeps showing up doesn’t it

No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should

"Parliament has given the ICO considerable powers not to politely hope for the best, but to enforce compliance with legally binding orders." www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Something something death panels something

Big Oil is using native advertising to "disguise their ads in news outlets" and promote "controversial technologies like carbon capture as climate solutions, portray fossil fuel companies as climate-friendly, or misrepresent their role in the energy transition" finds author @commscholar.bsky.social.

No, I will not subscribe to your Substack, but I hope you find enough success to escape it and find real independence

The EHRC want to exclude women from femal single-sex spaces based on how "female" they look. This is off the scale sexism and misogyny. Millions of women will face harassment as result of this insanity.

“Many classic Original Series episodes are built around criticisms of war, racism and greed. In a now-infamous season three episode, “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield,” Star Trek gave one of its most pointed critiques of racism ever.” ❤️❤️❤️

Study finds that women’s names filled just 23% of author slots in 900 retracted articles published in medical journals (2008 - 2017). One possible explanation: women are more detail oriented & know they will be subject to scrutiny; thus are more careful. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Stick it to the man, be always polite ☺️

Sad day 😢

Have I mentioned I love the @metoffice.gov.uk? One of the best services out there, especially in this weather 🥶

I once again ask you to stop sharing deeply personal stuff publicly. It’s embarrassing.

I love how the news is like "the Left needs to learn how to reach out to young men's issues" and the young men issues are that they can't get laid and aren't making enough money with online gambling.

Free speech is more than me being allowed to say what I want. Everyone also has to like it and tell me I'm a smart and handsome boy

Why are 90% of the articles just poorly edited AI slop?

Beating the far right by becoming the far right is the same as beating cancer by drinking cyanide.

How do public perceptions of government spending match with reality? A YouGov experiment put a series of govt spending areas as head to head match-ups and asked Britons to say which they thought more was spent on Read more here: yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

Someone tag the Labour party: ““This was a cynical strategic manoeuvre to avoid losing voters to the far right, but it seems, based on polling, that all they have done is prime their own voters to join the far right rather than stay with the Social Democrats.”” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

As someone who’s family had to flee Nazi Germany, this is really disgusting stuff from my government

I love and admire Ben for many reasons, and one of them is how perfectly he is able to distill the pathetic-ness of the right and instill hope and solidarity in everyone else around him. Anyway, go read his interview with the biggest Spanish newspaper here: english.elpais.com/technology/2...

Wonder if Rachel Reeves' team will read this... "A luxury levy would be politically smart – it would primarily fall on the wealthiest, including wealthy tourists visiting London, while sparing working-class voters." labourlist.org/2025/11/budg...

I don’t think talking heads and politicians realise what ordinary people mean when they want to “lower inflation”. They don’t mean they want prices to stop rising, they want prices to go back where they were relative to their income

Now imagine growing up with this coming from every direction

Reform UK council in Leicestershire proving their “reform” means cutting kids’ decent school meals.

The iPad Pro went on sale 10 years ago today. At the time, many saw it as just a bigger iPad. A decade later, though, the iPad Pro has changed. Rather than try to make it into something other than a laptop, Apple made it… a laptop. Read more from @davidpierce.xyz: www.theverge.com/tech/817939/...

I’m starting to think that civic education in this country isn’t that great

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months" China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

I’ve rarely seen the left and the centre of the Democratic Party as united as it is against the actions of the party leadership. Good job Schumer you finally managed to get them together, lol

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004. Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

What a loooot of people struggle to understand is that you can’t make a left-wing populist party that’s conservative on social issues because that’s what the far right is.

What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC. This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting. iandunt.substack.com/p/extra-edit...

Reform says Kent CC is their "shop window", where the country can see what a Farage gov't would be like. Well... chaos, suspensions, defections, paralysis, zero "DOGE" savings, tax rises, and a leader making mad-dictator speeches, sounds about right. ~AA www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
