Productivity increases between 5% and 13% with working from home, and worker wellbeing improves hugely too. But Farage doesn't care about reality. Or productivity. Or your wellbeing. He cares about the workplace property investors who bankroll him. www.greatplacetowork.com/resources/bl...

If Mandelson is being investigated for his Epstein connections, he must also be investigated for his Thiel connections, because they ran a joint fund when Mandelson fixed Starmer's visit to Palantir bylinetimes.com/2025/04/25/p...

Politicians speak of “mutual concessions” as a path to peace. Intelligence asserts: such compromises are not peace, but a pause before a new war and a higher price. www.kyivpost.com/post/69280

A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent. Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.

Kyiv. We’ve just got power back! After a heavy night attack, they managed to give us some electricity. Even if it won’t last long, it feels like magic. Glory to Ukrainian engineers 💪

In Parliament Jess Phillips reads out the list of women murdered each year. 95% are murdered by men. (Source:ONS.) Many men are known to the women. Some male politicians talk the talk about stopping #VAWG but don’t walk the walk.

A reader tells @economist.com that while opponents focus on hypotheticals, thousands of terminally ill people face a harsh reality. The debate over the assisted dying Bill too often sidelines the voices of those it most affects - people seeking to regain control in the face of a painful death.

Breaking News: The number of Russian and Ukrainian troops killed, wounded or missing during nearly four years of war has reached nearly two million, a study says.

Greetings from Kyiv I begin with gratitude. After I wrote that some cancelled support during the night attack, people from different countries joined or upgraded. Thank you! Some told me to get a job or go to hell. But my job is to tell the truth and educate about Ukraine. I often do it from hell

New - Nigel Farage has been found by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards to have made 17 standards breaches, adding up to over £380,000 in late declarations. He’s apologised, so no further investigation (which seems unusual for a breach this large)

… including payments for promoting gold, presenting on GB News and from his friend George Cottrell, within 28 days. Reform UK leader apologised for what he described as administrative errors by his team.

"Battle Hymn of the Republic" is not a song to be taken on lightly ... but in light of this New Year Trumpian news onslaught, we're sharing this adaptation, called "Battle Hymn of the Empire" - as Trump goes marching on, and dragging us all back to the nineteenth century. youtu.be/8saU0WeocP0

Nigel Farage is wrong about the European Convention on Human Rights. He thinks we should leave the ECHR to reduce migration. But not only do just a tiny number of immigration cases rely on human rights, leaving the ECHR would be an unmitigated disaster ⬇️ https://goodlaw.social/ngjm

This case stems from the systemic failure & subsequent cover-up revealed by 2020 Russia Report. Boris Johnson refused to investigate but what is UK govt's excuse now?? Read about this 5-year campaign & why it's even more necessary than ever now. substack.com/home/post/p-... 4/
