If anyone can discover what magnets are, surely it must be Elon Musk.

🎧: Under fire from powerful enemies at home and abroad, how can the BBC save itself? @arusbridger and the FT’s @janinegibson.ft.com speak to Pat Younge, former chief creative officer of BBC Television.

Listen up, American cousins. When the political party of your president and the one with a majority in Congress welcomes people goose-stepping around in black leather boots, waving swastika flags and brandishing canisters of Zyklon B, you should maybe question whether you're in the right country.

See, Anerica, when the political party of your president and the party that has a majority in Congress welcomes people goose-stepping around in black leather boots, waving swastika flags and brandishing canisters of Zyklon B, you should maybe be questioning whether you're in the right country.

Poorly written, but my takeaway from it is that the American right, including the Heritage Foundation, embraces a substantial number of outright nazis. That is no surprise at all to me.

House majority leader Mike Johnson blocked new congressmember Adelita Grijalva from taking office for over a month. @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social believes one of the reasons Johnson prevented her swearing in was the signing of the Epstein files.

As an exercise, readers might like to try comparing repayments on a 50-year mortgage with an infinite mortgage (which is effectively interest only, with no repayment of the principal). At typical interest rates, these differ little.

This is good, by Philip Clark. I was raised on Hancock's comedy. I also know a guy who was Hancock's odd-job man and driver for several years, so I know something about the man as well as the character.

The United Kingdom has stopped sharing intelligence on suspected drug smuggling boats in the Caribbean due to concerns about the legality of recent U.S. military strikes, two sources with knowledge of the matter tell NBC News.

I see that EU is to impose a package handling charge of about 2€ for low value parcels sent from China etc., in addition to VAT (exemption was removed ~3 years ago). And it's considering import duties on top of that. These charges will obviously be passed on to buyers, despite what the EU claims.

A colleague of mine rumbled that the bumbling Boris persona was a cover for Machiavellian sociopathy while Johnson was still London mayor. Later, my Cassandra-like mutterings that he would tell any lie and would stop at nothing to become PM were sometimes met with outright laughter.

They did well for the amount of collective talent they had

Lock up your children. It's another kiddie-fiddlers fest.

I never understood what the entire Osbourne family were for. I mean, what was their purpose and why did anyone else have to share the misery of their existence?

For the avoidance of any possible doubt, I don't forgive any of them. Or anyone, save those with sub-imbecile IQs, who voted for them,

I also listened to a voicemail this morning. Does the independent want to do a piece about it?

This is not news and not a feature. This is just a day in the life of seriously dysfunctional rich people and does not belong in a national newspaper.

The truth about any particular incidence of Johnson has invariably proved to be more shocking than most people could have imagined.

...and only then will people sit up and take notice. I said years ago that it would take the flooding of financial centres like London and New York for anyone in power to start to do something about it. By which time, the damage will be widespread and irreversible 😕

I suspect the parties during lockdown were much more decadent than we have been told.

Hmm. Within 50 years at most, much of London's most desirable areas will be uninhabitable. Westminster, Chiswick, Putney, Chelsea, Fulham, South Hampstead, Chalk Farm, Camden Town, Euston etc. will be lost. It's what happens when you persist in being ignorant and ignoring the warnings of experts.

All those basements they’re busy excavating will be so useful.

Farage has the excuse of harbouring extreme prejudices including a hatred of immigrants. Trump of extreme stupidity. Johnson has no excuse: he is far from stupid and he isn't unusually prejudiced. He is merely an empty, greedy and evil person, whose only interest is himself and its indulgence.

Johnson, more than Farage and any other single person, destroyed the UK. Mostly through his appallingly and lastingly damaging Brexit, but also, like Trump, through inflicting his dishonesty and ignorance on us and encouraging rampant corruption at the highest levels of govt.

This was an early Boris Johnson cock-up, when he was still Foreign Secretary, and a sign of awful things yet to come I knew enough about him, through a mutual friend and a close encounter, to warn people before the Brexit vote and again before the leadership election and the 2019 GE. Who listened?

‘She was extremely petrified’: the shocking drama about one woman’s six-year ordeal in an Iranian jail

"The Jeffrey Epstein saga has a dastardly quality: The more anyone drawn into the morass tries to dig themselves out, the deeper they dig themselves in. The White House proved the rule yet again on Wednesday," writes Stephen Collinson | Analysis https://cnn.it/47ZKMTN

As London struggles to adapt to the reality of more frequent and powerful floods, its wealthier corners are emerging as some of the most at risk

When your president is a "cryin', talkin', sleepin', walkin', livin'" sex crime, you don't get to question the legitimacy of our BBC.

The US Democrats have really fucked up on this. I wash my hands of these arseholes - they have achieved almost nothing. Honestly - outsmarted by morons!

$1 trillion for Trump's golden shower. Oh wait...no. Golden Dome Anyway, can you protect against nuclear armed missiles just by pissing on them? It seems like a very long shot, in all senses.

We purchased our over the horizon radar from the Aussies.........

The three 22-year-old cofounders of Mercor became billionaires last month. Now workers say they canned an AI project that involved thousands of contractors, then offered to rehire workers at a lower hourly rate.

Well no, he lies on behalf of literally thousands of known criminals.

So is the Pope, but he doesn’t spend all day lying on behalf of a known criminal.
