School pupils are to be taught how to tackle conspiracy theories, spot 'fake news' & root out misinformation. The Daily Mail, ajudged by Wikipedia to be an unreliable new source, is furious. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to work out why.

Hannan and Frost in the Telegraph. Sunak in the Times. Kwasi Kwarteng in the iPaper. Johnson in the Mail. Gove editing the Spectator. Farage everywhere. All of them shamelessly honking out their ‘Listen to me!’ garbage, as the country flails around in the unbelievable mess they’ve made. Nauseating.

Seconded. How dare the Tories try and pretend they want to hold Labour to standards the Tories have sniggered about and ignored as "not for us, of course, only for the peasants". Well, of course they dare, because who dares wins, right? That's their whole philosophy. Rules are for the lesser.

Just a brief reminder for anyone in Caerphilly thinking of voting for the English posh-boy's grift party Reform today - Reform are exactly the kind of people who would have "saved costs" by ignoring "woke" safety concerns about the Aberfan slag heaps.

Yet another Reform MP has been accused of being in breach of Parliamentary rules. deputy leader Richard Tice failed to register lavish hospitality he received from Lubov Chernukhin – wife of a former Russian deputy finance minister. Deform are a set of traitors.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

As Toby Young points out, Black people are over-represented in advertising. He somehow forgot to mention they are over-represented in poverty, unemployment and homelessness statistics too.

Just a quick reminder of what a toxic bunch of poison-mongers the Tories are. All that's changed is they've forgotten to decorate it all with public school accents.

From Frederick Douglass’s Narrative. It’s full of passages like this. I’m thinking increasingly about the joy in which some take in inflicting pain and misery on others as a sense of domination. And I fear it explains so much.

Reeves says she won’t take economic risks, hints at hard choices. Hard choices are always the easiest ones for politicos to make - they're called hard because they crush just that little bit more the poor and powerless. Taxing the rich... that's TOO hard. Geddit?

If they're anything like our local Labour group's planning "consultations" they'll mean exactly nothing, except that some more middle-men get to make a buck from "government work".
