I’m not playing this stupid game with Reform or any of their multimillionaire groupies, vilifying immigrants and moaning about the benefits bill from their tax havens and Dubai penthouses. Then lying about what they said and why.

Reform is a racist party. Relying on racist votes for power. End of.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβ€”because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Britain left the EU because people told us we had greater security and financial relationships with the USA.

Happy now?

Let's not even pretend that Westminster/Whitehall care.

They don't.

One should always be suspicious when the state resists disclosure of documents.

And one should be more suspicious when the state suddenly purports to agree to the disclosure of documents.

Private Eye article headlined "Minority representation on TV causes outrage" with body text commenting that Reform MPs are only 0.7% of the house of commons and yet are over-represented on the BBC all the time.

Genuinely brilliant from Private Eye.

Buff-tailed Coronet stretch - Video from pics. This bird landed near a feeder and went through this stretching routine. Also have you ever seen a hummingbird pee? You have now. #birds

Brexit promised to β€œtake back control of our borders”
But it also created huge labour shortages
So, govt issued huge numbers of visas to fill the gaps.
It ended reciprocal asylum arrangements with the EU
So, crossings went up.

Govt response?
β€œTake back control of our borders”
Such a ruinous deceit.
