Wish I could say it comes as a massive surprise that there's an overlap between the flag people and suspected fraudsters, but this is great work by the @birminghamdispatch.bsky.social. 'It's 100% legitimate' www.birminghamdispatch.co.uk/red-flags-th...

Yippee, arrival of much needed catharsis in the bedlam and vitriolic quagmire we seem to be trudging through. Very much looking forward to this @robinince.bsky.social I find your words are often a poultice and edifying.

If you thought that Peter Thiel had disappeared from DC, think again. “[T]he most coveted invitation for a MAGA gay in Washington is to one of the parties that Mr. Thiel… has been throwing at his mansion near Embassy Row.” 8/28/25 … 1/

This, from the Quakers, is a pretty good example of how to resist pressure from bigot lobbying groups. Effectively “we legally can allow trans people to use the loo, we morally should, and we tried it and nothing bad happened”

One of the most urgent crises in the criminal justice system is that allegations of rape and serious sexual offending take five years to reach trial. Any politician who claims to care about sexual violence and is silent on this issue has another agenda.

The latest figures show robbery, theft, residential burglary and knife crime are down in London, but there's still a long way to go before I’m satisfied. Backed with record funding from City Hall, the Met is putting high-visibility policing at the heart of fighting crime.

Palantir is in the news a lot lately. However, the public discourse about the company often misconstrues it as a data broker, a data miner, a single centralized database, etc. But what does Palantir actually do?

This, this is what journalistic media should be... allow opinions, but also provide facts and don't let it just be yarn spinning and party political broadcasts!

This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

I seem to remember a poem about this very topic. Seems relevant metro.co.uk/2025/04/23/t...

It's been my working assumption for a while that most of the angry white male young Tories on twitter and knocking around Tufton Street are some degree of Bell Curvers (i.e. massive race science bigots)

🔴No There Has Not Been an ‘Exodus’ of UK Millionaires and New Wealth Taxes Won’t Force Them to Leave Either Forget the fear-mongering about a flight of the super rich. The reality is they’re not going anywhere, argues Kate Bermingham bylinetimes.com/2025/01/24/n...

Well played Finland for capturing this ship. 🇫🇮 👏👏👏 “Eagle S, the Russia-linked tanker suspected of damaging an underwater electricity cable on Christmas Day, was kitted out with special transmitting and receiving devices that were used to monitor naval activity”
