But, on budget day, a major moment in the unravelling of Farage's myth was overshadowed by the Office of Budget Responsibility's ludicrous early leaking of their budgetary analysis.
You have one job! Nonetheless, Labour strategists finally decided that telling the truth about Farage's Brexit - namely that it has blown a £90bn-a-year hole in the country's public finances - might get more votes than just ignoring it, like someone stepping round a massive pile of dogshit on the living room carpet. Every day. For nine years.

Deborah Ross; and Farage's pointed refusal to investigate the influence of Putin, the politician he maintains he most admires, over Reform - "I'm not a police force, I haven't got the resources" - has passed largely without comment. (Farage has earned over {1m from second jobs, including his tacitly legal GB News infotainment show, since the last election, £200,000 of it from his bespoke Cameo video messages. There's loads of investigators at the Nerve happy to investigate Reform's Russia links for a fraction of the money Farage gets paid to wish happy birthday to morons, so let's make a deal.) Is this the best you people can do? It shouldn't be just a drunk comedian and a load of clever women who got laid off at the Observer asking these questions.

Glorious, cathartic, taking no shit at all, Stewart Lee.

Brexit: “like someone stepping round a massive pile of dogshit on the living room carpet. Every day. For nine years.”

If only all our media could be as ruthlessly challenging as this.

Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

Every time the shocking, perplexing tactic of “giving money to people who need it” is tried, it turns out to work.

And yet people who have more money than they could ever need remain baffled.

Jonathan Flint and Iain Mathieson · What’s in the junk? Genetic Effects We still only partly understand the relationship between genes and cognitive abilities. Over the last fifty years or so...

“We know more than we did fifty years ago, but we also have a better sense of how little we know.”

Might add that to the end of every paper or book I write

Romanesco broccoli has lots of little cones all over it like the drill bits in the front of a machine designed to dig to the center of the earth. It's a light green in color and looks very mathy.

Scottish village hopes to use abandoned mine for UK-first community energy project A SCOTTISH village is aiming to create the UK’s first community-owned energy project powered by an abandoned coal mine.

🔥 From coal to clean energy!

The Scottish village of Fallin, Stirlingshire, hopes to transform the abandoned Polmaise coal mine into the UK’s first community-owned thermal energy project 💡

The flooded pit could heat local polytunnels, turning a symbol of the past into a legacy for the future♻️

A map of Europe titled “High-speed rail plan” showing future high-speed train connections and travel times. Green lines represent future new connections, and magenta lines represent future train travel times. Major cities are marked with circles and connected by these lines. Examples of travel times include: Lisbon–Madrid (3h), Paris–Brussels (1h15), Paris–Rome (6h), Berlin–Warsaw (4h15), Berlin–Prague (2h30), Berlin–Vienna (4h30), Berlin–Budapest (6h15), Berlin–Stockholm (4h), Riga–Tallinn (1h45), Vilnius–Riga (2h), Sofia–Athens (6h). The map includes the EC logo in the bottom right corner.

We’re launching a bold plan to make high-speed rail the fastest, more sustainable way to travel across Europe by 2040.

It’s a concrete timeline to remove bottlenecks, unlock investment, and harmonise rail systems ⬇️

We have built a society in which people of different skin tones, religious backgrounds & cultures get along, share power, work alongside each other, procreate with each other, recognise the each other’s humanity and democratic rights. It is a STUNNING ACHIEVEMENT OF WORLD HISTORIC PROPORTIONS.

Anatomy of the Swiss Revolution How Switzerland Engineered Itself into Becoming the World's Greatest Transit Nation

Switzerland is “rich in something vanishingly rare in the rest of the world: common sense. This is most apparent in the way the Swiss get around…a model of sensible, sustainable — and yes, even enjoyable — transit. It’s simply the best transportation system in the world.” Via @taras-grescoe.com

Beth pears in a blue and white bowl

Beth pears in a blue and white bowl

The UK offers ideal pear-growing conditions – but only around 8% of pears sold here are home grown. Traditional orchards are excellent habitats for wildlife, but they're now rare – so planting pear and apple trees can really help boost biodiversity.

A bold protest-style poster with a red background. At the top, large off-white text reads “GENERAL STRIKE.” In the center, a black clenched fist grips an upside-down shopping bag, symbolizing resistance against consumerism. At the bottom of the bag, off-white text reads “BLACK FRIDAY.”

They call it the holiday shopping season.

Funny how nobody mentions the holiday eviction season, or the holiday medical bill season.

If we’re already broke, why bleed for billionaires on Black Friday?
