‘Should a government department responsible for managing 640,000 acres of forest and much of which is already used for commercial logging be allowed to use 0.5% of its land for solar farms without consulting another branch of government?’. It’s honestly had to take the objectionable this seriously.

Not had nearly enough of this from Labour. Long may it continue

Absolutely pathetic that Reform are replacing the Tories, and the Tories still won’t attack them on their weak areas!

Milwall 3rd in the championship with a goal difference of just +1 is very on-brand behaviour

Seriously impressive win from Sunderland

This is a desperately needed win. Hopefully we can use it to kick on

Feels incredibly bad that the barriers around this sort of open racism have been degraded so much that a sitting MP (from the party currently leading the polls, no less) will engage in it on TV with a smile on her face.

Deary me how many millions are going to be wasted trying to keep this in private ownership

X is not only completely out of control, it is also increasingly dangerous.

He always does these tariff blowups on a Friday

One of the more hotdog man op-eds I’ve seen from Jeremy Hunt here www.ft.com/content/02e5...

Is it acceptable to do WHAT

Simply buy Civ V and all DLCs on sale for £20 and get 1.5k hours of gameplay out of it it’s that easy

womp womp

we're catching them lol

Awful news

A good use of state power for this government *right now* would be get utterly mediaeval with Chansiri and find a way to strip him of ownership.

If there's one thing we know about constitutions, it's that illiberal parties scrupulously observe them, and if there's another thing we know about constitutions, it's that they're best drafted at times of severe polarisation.

Bro...

Most people in NI are really not surprised by the Soldier F outcome - but this was no show trial or witch hunt. The judge excoriated the soldiers' conduct, but because of a passing of time caused by extreme state failings, could not convict. That is the scandal. These headlines are grotesque:

Ed Luce watching democracy die in the United States of America

"As I drove into Caerphilly for the count there was a giant electronic billboard that read “only Labour can stop Reform”.The last minute attempts to suggest that a vote for anyone other than them was a vote for Reform was divorced from reality" open.substack.com/pub/willhayw...

YOUR SUPPORT WENT TO PLAID - THE LEFT OF CENTRE OPTION - YOU ABSOLUTE DING DONGS BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT STANDING UP *AGAINST* FARAGE. You’ve just been handed proof you have more to lose from losing your base than to gain from pursuing Reform voters!!

Of all the housing charts not made by MMI, this one is my favourite. It shows how, despite rhetoric, housing shortages aren't a global phenomenon, but they do seem to be an Anglo-American one.

Plaid squeezed everyone else into the ground. 11% for Labour here is terminal

I don't believe electrolytes are real. Just seems like fake science to me.

Got a lot of “wow, this is nuts!“ from Tory MPs but also an engagingly snotty “why are you only writing about this now?” from a senior Conservative - a reasonable question from *Labour or the Lib Dems* but “why have you only just now noticed how nuts we are?”…what?

NEW: Dozens of Labour MPs have written to Peter Kyle warning that upcoming regulations on how to implement rules on gender recognition could cause chaos, including significant potential costs and a “minefield” of competing legal rights. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

This is more sinister than just a wellness grift imo

Not surprising that an idiotic target has been behind their behaviour

What a nightmare

Once again the decision to not put Cleverly into the final two looking utterly disastrous, for the party and the country

No way this is true right come off it yanks

British wider left will invent 300 things that can stop reform before considering punting the most unpopular PM ever, replacing him with someone good, raise taxes and investing in public services

He has gone the same way as every Twitter user will eventually it seems

In the end, whether the constitution is written or not seems less important than whether political actors feel bound by the law and accountable for their actions. Everything depends on a modicum of good will.

Here's something people seem to completely struggle to grasp: if Zelensky, or, say, Abu Mazen ever compromise on this notional principle in exchange for nothing, as a society we are fucked in ways that go wildly beyond Russia and its neighbours. It would legitimise the right of conquest.

lads

forgot how autistic laios dungeon meshi is

"unusual" is one way of putting it

This feels like the party is actually disintegrating as an organisation.

People who are generally upset with how their lives are going, and also feel there are too many people around who look different, can never actually be appeased. Not by Brexit, not by eliminating FoM, not by new taxes or fees, not by ending ILR, not by denaturalizing not by anything.

This was a depressing read

Not impossible we put on 100-120 in these last 12 overs but we really need to start scoring
