Peter Sullivan: Man jailed for 1986 murder acquitted after 38 years Peter Sullivan, 68, sobbed as he was released after advances in forensic technology absolved him.

Imagine if, as so many rightwingers want, he'd been hanged as the rightfully-convicted villain of this heinous, depraved and brutal crime...

What Labour should be doing is creating a new narrative about immigration - about welcoming people who make a contribution but reducing the numbers who don't.

5 ways major media can seek redemption It’s getting late, but there’s still time to repair some of the damage.

Five steps to redemption for major media:
1. Say directly that Trump is overthrowing democracy. Lose the weasel-wording.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Were the US tariffs calculated by the Wordle bot?

Lovely story - and some of us are compelled to fix things. This is the light cord in our Airbnb
