This is the correct answer.

"Hard to believe there was ever a world leader as dumb as Donald Trump. Can't spell, can't read, has never managed anything approaching an original thought. His brain is like a radio playing at top volume, but between stations." The brilliant Stephen King, my second favourite author of all time. 😉

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

I’m sure he must have in mind another book. He can’t possibly mean “Careless People” by Sarah Wynn-Williams, published in the UK by Macmillan. I’ll ask my local independent bookstore to confirm.

Are you referring to the book ‘Careless People,? The one Meta don’t want to see publicised? #CarelessPeople

Good book. Well worth buying. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

🎉 Fantastic news: 2025 was a record year for solar installation, with new panels brought to British rooftops every two minutes. This is the highest total ever recorded in a calendar year - and 37% more than in 2024.

Good Lord, in two days the Russians have lost almost 1000 trucks and close to 3000 soldiers.

The Russian occupation in Ukraine faces a "catastrophic" situation, according to alarmed Russian warbloggers. "Total drone terror" is now taking place across the entire occupied area, with no place being safe any more. ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/spec...

Memories of the Summer of 1976 endure in the British memory, 35.9 °C, parched fields, standpipes in the streets. 50 years on and, in the last decade alone, temperatures above 36 °C have been recorded on six days in the UK and the UK’s highest record temperature now stands at 40.3 °C.

The blood on this man’s hands. Determined to prevent a deal with Iran. Determined to eliminate Palestinians. Determined to kill Palestinian statehood. Determined to drag the wider region into a spiraling circle of death. The war criminal of our era. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

With all the terror that our Politicians have regarded the idea of our getting our Freedom of Movement back 'at all', - is Schengen really that much 'worse' ? It's like they've overplayed their hand, they've done everything to avoid giving us our FoM back, - but if we still need to get it

to rejoin the SM, then question to be asked is, why not Schengen, too ? ie, they will have lost the FoM argument, and they will therefore lose the Schengen argument, too.

Agreed. We should join Schengen. Their argument is dead.

I support this call. I've seen evidence firsthand. At one of my schools, two of the worst bullies devised elaborate games for torturing animals to death. They enjoyed hurting other animals as much as they enjoyed hurting humans. It's a flashing red danger sign.🧵 www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Better to call this event a pan-European Nazi summit, because that is exactly what it is.

When he was an MEP, Farage excused his absences on basis that it was an illegitimate government and that sovereignty should reside in Westminster. He's now an MP in Westminster And he's been absent for 77 Parliament votes in a row. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/whe...

My model predicts that over the next two months, the White House will announce between eight and fifteen Iran deals, all of which will be applauded by Fox News. And I tell you the best place in Guyana to buy Kool-Aid. All that and more in the next Silver Bulletin.

What if the Springsteen Center was a think tank though

Very honoured to be the first ever guest on @rolandmcs.bsky.social's new podcast. I know there are loads of pods around but do consider it, not because of my contribution but because Roland is such a skilled interlocutor, and his associated Substack is consistently excellent.

It’s such obvious bollocks. But it gets reported widely because hardly anybody knows any better any more.

YOU'VE HAD TO MAKE MARK FRANCOIS A SHADOW MINISTER

UK politics is SOOOO febrile right now. Farage under pressure about £5m plus Reform flailing around in Makerfield. Polanski stepping on an endless series of social media rakes. The current PM going through the motions like a doomed Chelsea manager. No idea what polling will be like in six months...

Seen this medical AI image earlier. Serious problems.

Brexit was organised and bankrolled by the libertarian right but most of those who voted for it want more state, not less. flipchartfairytales.wordpress.com/2017/07/07/t...

A wait and see approach is advised here. It's either just words, remember JD Vance was particularly proud to have stopped help for Ukraine, the claims they have helped Ukraine are clearly BS. But there is a possibility the US admin has changed course now Russia seems to be on the brink of collapse.

"The wound it seemed both sore and sad To every Christian eye; And while they swore the dog was mad They swore the man would die. But soon a wonder came to light, That showed the rogues they lied; The man recovered of the bite, The dog it was that died."

⚡️Russian brigade that committed war crimes in Bucha hit by Ukrainian drone strike, military says. The attack struck a training ground used by Russia's 64th Separate Motorized Rifle brigade, one of the units responsible for the massacre of civilians in Bucha in 2022.

Lastly, and most importantly, if you’re wondering what we can do about it? My pinned post has the answer: a list of six science-based ways that individual individuals can meaningfully contribute to catalyzing societal change at the scale we need.

And to everyone who is wondering, “how could humans be causing more than 100% of the warming?” — it’s because, according to natural factors, the earth should be cooling right now. So our emissions are offsetting that cooling AND causing all of the observed warming. For more, watch:

And for those who are questioning my reference to “nearly a century” – it is referring to the paper published by Guy Callendar in 1937. To get the full story of the amazing cast of characters who contributed to fundamental understanding of climate science since the early 1800s, watch:

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

It's okay - someone found him with What Three Words. Predictably about as far from Clacton as you can get.

🔴 Keir Starmer promised to crackdown on "Slapps" - abusive libel cases to silence journalists and critics Then Labour quietly dropped it We can reveal why: a three-year lobbying blitz by libel lawyers who've acted for Russian oligarchs, Epstein + more democracyforsale.substack.com/p/how-lawyer...

Excellent, thorough piece on the perverse impact of UK's restrictive attitude to migration. Government claims it wants to improve economic outcomes and encourage integration -and is achieving precisely the opposite. (draws on @migobs.bsky.social/my research) www.economist.com/britain/2026...

Email leaks revealed that Johnson lobbied for Harborne. Both Farage and Johnson started lauding crypto around the time they received millions from him. Harborne is suing Ben Habib for suggesting Johnson and Farage colluded in the 2019 election. But they were both in his pocket

Wonder if everybody is aware that the 1970 England World Cup squad produced an LP, not just the single Back Home. Songs include versions of Lily the Pink, Congratulations, Sugar Sugar. Available at specialist vinyl shops for £100+ Save your money, it's execrable.

Qi’s allegation will add to fears of the widespread infiltration of the Chinese interpreting community by the United Front Work Department, an organ of the communist regime in China that is said to seek to suppress political dissent and shape opinion abroad.

The lady opposite me on the train was reading this. To be fair she was only on the first chapter.

For clarification...

Hi @krishgm.bsky.social @channel4news.bsky.social Please can you invite representatives of the 27 EU States to face our current Political Leaders, so that the EU can tell our Leaders, to their faces, in Public, whether or not the UK might be welcomed back into the SM, CU and EU. - and then ask
