By mimicking Reform to win back support, the Labour government is making a serious mistake. This race to the bottom emboldens Farage, punishes vulnerable people, amplifies racism, and undermines those working to hold communities together.

This is the new image I meant to put as main pic. It shows the change in Thiel's holdings. Those letters NVDA stand for Nvidia and the words next to it are self-explanatory "SOLD ALL". Thiel, the closest thing that Silicon Valley has to a bond villain, has pumped & dumped. So...what happens next?!?

Kemi Badenoch praises Shabana Mahmood's "measures to crack down on illegal immigration", saying that the Home Secretary is "bringing fresh energy and a clearer focus to this problem, and she has got more done in 70 days in the job than her predecessor did in a year."

Without asylum: Marks and Spencer wouldn't exist Queen would have been without a front man The other queen wouldn't have had a husband Judith Kerr would never have written The Tiger Who Came to Tea And thousands of less famous people wouldn't have been teachers, politicians, neighbours, etc

spot on

On Trump’s interview with GB News, where he confirmed he still intends to sue the BBC and will be speaking to the PM shortly, Lib Dem leader Ed Davey: “This is Keir Starmer’s moment to stand up for Britain, for every TV licence fee payer... & for a free press that can hold the powerful to account."

And then when it inevitably collapses these great libertarian titans of industry will go cap in hand to the state to save them.

Having to just watch them do this is actually painful. Pumping absurd amounts of money pointlessly into data centres, creating a circular nexus of funds, inventing opaque finance vehicles to hide the 10am-in-Paddy-Power reality of what they're doing. Obscene.

They're going to crash the global economy by attempting to create an artificial general intelligence, despite having no idea what that is, no proof they can build it & no hope of doing so. Cunts just read too many sci-fi books.

An ex-Facebook lobbyist has been put in charge of Ireland’s data watchdog. This risks making Europe’s privacy laws meaningless. Sign today to tell the EU to reverse this decision: action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-11...

Why is McSweeney still there. What greater proof would you need that he is incapable of doing the job. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Gotta love the way BlueSky ends comments on this

Anti-racism is of course welcome but the nonsensical phrase “woke right” is a very clear sign that a writer as lost it

Brilliant! youtu.be/D_lSOOPlkzE?...

If we're talking about bias, why do BBC politics programmes, from Politics Live to the Laura Kuennsberg Show, still always begin with a look at the newspaper front pages, which are overwhelmingly biased in one direction. Helps frame the entire news agenda and debate in their favour

As prep for this article, I listened to the BBC Origin Story from @originstorypodcast.bsky.social by @iandunt.bsky.social and @dorianlynskey.bsky.social - a highly important listen and one that I can strongly recommend.

But that is not enough. No.10 should never have been in a position to install Gibb in the first place. It shouldn't control the board membership, the DG appointment, or the purse strings. What's required is genuine independence for the BBC.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.
