“Elon Musk’s post makes it very obvious he has not understood a book and movie franchise that most of his fans love. Worse still for the billionaire, it is not a complicated plot: a moderately bright child could fairly easily understand its message better than Musk manages here.”

Youth work changes lives and makes a real difference in communities across the UK. It gives young people a place to belong, build skills, and believe in themselves. But over the last decade, we’ve seen too many youth centres close their doors and youth workers leave.

James O'Brien, "The scenes on Saturday were striking, the numbers very high, but a fraction of the turnout of the please don't leave the EU marches" "No matter that the problems were literally caused by Brexit"

Oh.

"Farage was wearing a GB News pin. He was there to launch and promote a show in a company he has shares in." Is Farage in the US to represent Britain, as he claims, or to represent a right-wing news channel launching in America that very day? 🤔

Flag, Marry, Avoid… tinyurl.com/4rrn2mkx

"Farage's policies aren't about creating a 'Better Britain', they are about pulling things down: It's easy to be in opposition, you just get to destroy things!" So, why does Keir Starmer keep agreeing with Nigel Farage on illegal immigration?

This is a wonderfully detailed bit of reporting. On the other hand, Kemi Badenoch is adamant that Kemi Badenoch never commits gaffes…

And here are the front pages of papers now canonising Connoly, on the recent one-year anniversary of the Southport massacre. Mail found space for Dorries' hair loss, Telegraph for "Toddler kills cobra". None of them had room for Bebe King, 6, Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, 9.

Britain isn’t being “overrun” by migration — it’s being sustained by it. The Bear argues politicians on all sides owe voters honesty about this simple fact.

Trump's peace efforts aren't going anywhere any time soon. This last week was theatre alone, on every side. For the Europeans and the Russians the real prize of that theatre isn't peace- it's Trump's attention, the realities only in his head. New writing from me. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

Yesterday’s show was as another exercise in clairvoyance. I don’t think we’re ever going to see a plurality of journalism that properly reflects Trumps’s depravity & corruption. Never mind Putin’s. Not sure I’ll ever fully understand why.

One way to understand the awfulness of what Trump is doing is to imagine FDR trying to ‘negotiate a ceasefire’ with Hitler in 1942 but with Churchill completely excluded. tinyurl.com/4rrn2mkx

As elements of the political & media establishments edge ever closer to openly craving more race riots, we look back at the Southport murders & ask whether social media bans & reversing the mass closures of community spaces might lessen the chances of them getting their wish. tinyurl.com/4rrn2mkx

If you're around 35 or under in the UK, the government has never made anything better for you. Tuition fees brought in, stagnating wages from frozen tax brackets etc. An entire adult life of austerity with another decade ahead

‘I don’t like the position that I’m in. I can’t get past the numbers.’   @mrjamesob.bsky.social is ’sorry’ that he can’t support the doctors’ strikes, calling their pay demands ‘wrong to the point of offensive’ when the ‘public purse is in dire straits’.

A 30% tariff on EU exports would hurt businesses, consumers and patients on both sides of the Atlantic. We will continue working towards an agreement by August 1. At the same time, we are ready to safeguard EU interests on the basis of proportionate countermeasures. → europa.eu/!tPvKn8

There's no place for institutional finance in rental markets. It's a predatory extraction machine that robs the poor and middle. But one thing I'd add: we should stop calling these people "investors". They don't "invest". They buy up and milk existing assets. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
