Liz Truss has chosen to live in London for decades. Just the most desperate self-serving grift

75% of Reform UK’s donations have come from just three rich men Calls grow for donation caps as Democracy for Sale research reveals that three-quarters of Reform’s funding comes from a trio of wealthy donors

"Nigel Farage’s Reform UK is more reliant on super-rich backers than any major party in modern British political history." 👀

Over a pint in Oxford, we may have stumbled upon the holy grail of agriculture | George Monbiot I knew that a revolution in our understanding of soil could change the world. Then came a eureka moment – and the birth of the Earth Rover Program, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

and the "Russian world" as a living space that must expand offer no chance of a peaceful compromise.

- I would expect only one thing from Europeans: understanding of this. Everything else must follow from this understanding - that this war is not just another regional conflict...

Interesting this latest Farage revelation. An 18 year old boy would spot a 9 year old Nigerian boy and tell him 'the way back to Africa' and then seek him out repeatedly to repeat the same racist humiliation...to a boy half his age!

That is not 'banter'. It's vicious, racist bullying.

French intellectual and activist Bernard-Henri Lévi @bernard-henri-levy.com:

"Of course we’re not ready. And thank God we have the Ukrainians. Thank God that in Europe there is an army that knows how to fight. Thank God there is an army in Europe capable of holding the line.

It's so bad now

Farage turns on broadcasters over racism allegations as number of claims hits 28 Reform leader suggests he would boycott BBC, saying he has had letter from Dulwich pupils defending him

Anyone of a similar age to Farage will know that antisemitic remarks played no part in 1970s banter.
Nazis were universally hated. Farages abusive behaviour would have made a strong impression. I have no doubt that Farage’s classmates remember him perfectly.

Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women".

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

A £9m donation to Reform UK from a cryptocurrency figure based on the other side of the world.

In other words: A foreign-linked donation illegitimately influencing an upcoming UK election 🧵

Not even believable is right.

Oh sorry, my mistake, what a baby Professor Edmans is

The Daily Mail offered a quote from a senior figure in the British chess world, to counter the view of a middle aged man with strong views on a under 14 girls' chess title.

This does not reflect well on the London Business School

Pleased to discover that slightly misnaming the national chess championship you won as a school child is a much more serious offence than repeatedly racially abusing your fellow pupils and telling them they should go to the gas chamber

London Business School Professor

It's like the incredibly tedious "Rachel from accounts" thing. Misogyny in politics remains a powerful force.

What a baby Professor Edelman is.

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Congrats, everyone seems to be waking up.
