Reform UK’s Warwickshire library review alarms librarians and readers Reform-led Warwickshire County Council proposes censoring what children read, even if residents don’t agree with them | Meg Gain @roaringmeg.bsky.social

Recycling and grey water is a definite option. Or recycle the heat to use to generate power. The issue is that the US (especially) doesn’t think like this. They have a “don’t care” attitude.

Trump can only get expensive shags or rapes, no regular women would go near him

substack.com/@fluentinfin... Why can’t data centres use water in a sealed loop cooling it each time. Mr Benz thought of this 120 years ago. Presumably there’s enough solar power for both electricity and cooling?

The UN is a diminished organisation struggling with conflict and natural calamities. If Trump imposes tolls on the Strait of Hormuz that would be its demise. UN’s most powerful and founding member acting like a cartel boss would be too much. All the good work the UN agencies do would be undone.

"As we have heard in so many similar situations, ICE falsely claims the suspect “tried to run over an agent, who then fired at him.” That was a shameful pack of lies."

👏Trade minister Chris Bryant on CNBC: "I think our historic destiny is to be back in the European Union"

Well yes but we never had a US President who thought like a mob boss more than a country leader and a party utterly terrified of pointing out the damage this is doing.

This is a must read!

It’s not only a moral obligation to improve living standards in deprived areas in the north and elsewhere but a political necessity for any government. Let’s hope Burnham can pull it off.

Putin's war is still raging. Ukrainians are still being killed. Russia should be nowhere near the Olympics. The IOC must reverse this shameful decision. @tomgordonld.bsky.social

Well said. Over 1 million Europeans signed a European Citizens’ Initiative calling for an EU-wide ban on so-called 'conversion practices.' Meanwhile, the England and Wales just got its first draft bill after over years of stalling. This issue has been allowed to fester long enough.

More than 80 women accused Harvey Weinstein of rape and sexual assault. When speaking about those victims, Ann Widdecombe said “It’s down to them, they had a choice.” Yet GCs, including the billionaire who runs a support service for victims of sexual violence, are sharing content in her defence.

"But then, like many others, he made the decision to abandon his previous ideals, to bury the patriotism that was once so important to him, and to become, instead, a loud, opportunistic collaborator." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

A really important message from @chrisgpackham.bsky.social. Church leaders have a moral responsibility to protect the natural world & they have the perfect opportunity to decide to do so on Tuesday - see @wildcard.land for details of how you can add your voice & make sure they do the right thing👇

Wow!

This is an interesting piece. But I think the fundamental problem is that monetary policy communication is just harder when the outlook is highly uncertain. The 2010s were relatively easy, central banks could just say “rates are going to be low for a long time”. www.ft.com/content/fe18...

substack.com/@christian39... Oh I sooo hope the esteemed Count will trounce the incumbent arsehole and yes it’s only in Britain that such a contest could occur. Absurdism, the comedic cousin of surrealism is such an integral part of our national personality it should achieve national treasure status

Why is this tax dodging, has been spiv wanker on tv defending Farage? Shouldnt he be playing with his horses? Tosser.

news.sky.com/story/iran-w... Millions are turning out for the weeks long funeral of Iran’s supreme leader. If Trump is assassinated the world will express a sigh of relief that this idiot is dead. His funeral would be a laughing stock, his disastrous reign remembered as the worst in American history

Elon and his DOGE incel battalion stole our data, made our government dysfunctional, and cost thousands of lives globally. Rick Wilson details the disaster on MSNOW.

Reform, Restore re whatever are so alien to majority British opinion, they only pick up a proto fascist protest vote that wouldn’t exist if our society was fairer.

US President Donald Trump shared this image yesterday of a massive fire and smoke, claiming it showed "retribution" for Iranian attacks on ships traversing the Strait of Hormuz. But the picture is an AI-altered version of a photo taken over a year ago in June 2025 factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

I did an episode of @alexpodyssey.bsky.social on the myth of Midas which is, in part, about the folly of greed. But in terms of deities it's actually Hades, ruler of the Underworld, who is also god of wealth (nicknamed "Plouton": the rich one). This is for two related - and delicious - reasons. 1/3

Sunak and Starmer were in this account "strategic inertia". That didn't do much unsurprisingly to reconcile extravagant Brexit promises with reality, a nation state with global companies, a failing rules based system, or growth with an ageing population. Such are the challenges...
