I've often wondered how Steven Pinker's amazingly sloppy research and baseless claims* have for so long received a free pass. I wonder whether it could have something to do with a. his connections with the rich and powerful; b. his claims often aligning with what they want to hear.
*See next post.

It's the world view of rich white men who employ nannies and send their kids to boarding school

While Labour continues to target vulnerable migrants for detention and deportation, undermines modern slavery protections and actively tries to end some human rights for migrants, they also refuse to take the most basic steps to reform the seasonal workers visa to help reduce risks of exploitation.

Reform candidate called it ‘insane’ to jail man who said ‘burn asylum hotels’ Exclusive: It comes after The Independent revealed that Matt Goodwin called for ‘young girls’ to be given ‘biological reality’ check

Matt Goodwin said in a post on X: “Welcome to the UK. Where you go to prison for 18 months for anti-immigration tweets. This is insane.”

No. What is insane is shrugging off incitement to racial murder.

Put this man in the bin, not the House of Commons.

“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.

Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.

Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.

A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful.

Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.

Defend Our Juries Co-Founder Tim Crosland explains what the High Court ruling showing over the Palestine Action ban means in real terms.

He adds a renewed call for a meeting with Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood to discuss the harm that has been done since this ban was introduced.

Horrific comments by Ratcliffe today right when United appeared to making a charge. His comments stand against everything Manchester is about & its fanbase across the world. It’s also a disgraceful insult to our players and everything the United DNA stands for. I am appalled as a #mufc shareholder.

Presumably he will be changing the Manchester United team immediately to white English only?

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

Reform UK approached Bangor University to ask whether Sarah Pochin (Reform MP) could come to debate. They said no, and this is the response they get

Reform would behave exactly as Donald Trump. Don't agree with them, and they will penalise, threaten, defund, and cancel you. They are proto fascists.

Donald Trump won this district in Louisiana by 13 points in 2024.

The Democrat just crushed a Republican extremist in this district by 24 points.

Folks, that’s a 37 point swing to the left. We can compete everywhere and win anywhere. Let’s keep this up!

Just beyond parody at this point

The Times calls Keir Starmer's decision to hire Peter Mandelson an "egregious error" which deserves an "inquiry into the appointment process."

Not included is any demand for an inquiry into their own appointment of him, long after his post-conviction relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was exposed

This is obscene @ukhomeoffice.bsky.social please withdraw and apologise for lies and despicable rubbish.

Like Dominic Cummings, Morgan McSweeney helped deliver electoral victory but, in doing so, debased and subverted everything his party claimed to stand for.

This was my last night's viewing. Saw it at a festival 30 years ago, but never since. Poorly-received at the time, but I think it's rather an incredible film. No English subtitles here unfortunately but the story's simple and there's hardly any dialogue. Some astonishing images and sequences though.

NEW EPSTEIN SURVIVORS AD: “3 million files still not released — stand with us. Tell AG Pam Bondi to release the files. It’s time for the truth.”

Reform by-election candidate suggested people who don’t have kids should pay more tax Exclusive: The Reform politician’s suggestion would ‘punish millions of women and strip them of their basic dignity to choose’, Labour’s deputy leader has warned

So as I struggled with miscarriage after miscarriage before having my 🌈 baby, Reform would seriously think I should pay more tax during that agony.

This policy isn’t just a slippery slope to a handmaids tale dystopian future - it’s a deliberate step towards it

I knew Matt Goodwin promoted the far right Great Replacement Theory but until @huwcdavies.bsky.social pointed it out, I didn't realise he'd actually interviewed the originator of the theory on his GB News show and plugged it like he's PT Barnum. A vote for Goodwin is a vote for white nationalism

🚨BREAKING: Parliament is going to debate the petition – BY-ELECTIONS TO BE CALLED AUTOMATICALLY WHEN MP’S DEFECT TO ANOTHER PARTY on 16 March 2026!

Contact/Tag your MP now and ask them to attend the debate and speak out in support

Left: Reform UK breaks electoral law

Right: Vote Leave break electoral law

Why are there no real and meaningful consequences for breaking electoral law in the UK?

Great video. The homes are thoughtful, attractive and well designed. Khan is eloquent and considerate. Much more like this please.

I never understood how people of faith could vote for this degenerate scumbag.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

Barrister’s powerful speech at Filton Trial reminds jury of its right to defy judge

Keir Starmer and the media need convictions to justify Palestine Action’s proscription as a terrorist group. Rajiv Menon KC spells out to the jury…a vital last defence…
