Little public challenge, including from

> GB News staff who aren't white nationalists/racists
> Regulator
> Govt ministers, Opposition, backbench MPs
- anxious about free speech/hate speech
- too awkward if on a TV channel, not 4Chan?
> Other media outlets: now seen as normal, not newsworthy?

If big tech seems invincible, try fighting the distribution system you depend on for everything. In the early 20th century, Americans fought to break the grip of the railroads. Now the antimonopoly movement is back.

Great to be on the cover of Prospect w my old friend @davidsonofaaron.bsky.social

The Borgias versus the Lawyers Are the Starmers destined to lose?

 This article was amended on 5 March 2026. An earlier version said low-skilled workers would “receive immediate access to welfare and social housing” if Labour did not make them wait longer to apply for settlement. In fact, settlement status only gives people the eligibility to apply for welfare and social housing, it does not give them instant or automatic access to such benefits. This has been clarified.

From breaking news to huge investigative proje

Guardian has now [after my complaint] corrected Mahmood's deliberate & incendiary false claim settlement gives immigrants "immediate access to welfare and social housing".

Good for Gdn but embarrassing/shameful that Home Secretary deliberately misled the public for political gain like this.

Young Woman Being Harassed by a Man

This is Judith Leyster's amazing 1631 painting ‘Young Woman Being Harassed by a Man’.

She was well known in her day but SURPRISE! her works were later misattributed either to Frans Hals, her local contemporary, or her husband, Jan Miense Molenaer.

Trump’s Greenland Threats Reopen Tariff Wounds in Europe President Donald Trump’s fixation on Greenland offers an ice-cold reminder to leaders in Europe and abroad: No deal is ever final.

Worth noting - "Both Lipsky and Lincicome [respected US trade policy folk] said that they think it’s unlikely, with the Supreme Court case and other factors, that the tariffs actually kick in Feb. 1."

One big reason Europe chooses not to over-react. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
