I have a folding bike now so I can keep it in our flat. I had two bikes stolen in 2 years one from a communal garden bike rack (it was 14yo & worth about £30 😲) and the 2nd (insurance replacement for the 1st) from communal garage. I have a really heavy chain for my foldie🤞

Do people realize that Trump and Miller are creating so many valid civil causes of action that taxpayers will be paying billions of dollars—if not tens of billions—to their innocent victims and their families over the next 25 years?

America will be digging itself out of a hole for decades to come.

If you tax trucks 🚛, trucking in your inputs gets pricier.

That means flying ✈️ or shipping 🚢 looks better.

Where do planes and boats come from?

Yes, this just made transporting inputs from abroad *more* competitive.

It's like taxing bikes to reduce road congestion.

Jenrick now proposing sacking judges he doesn't like. I can just about remember when Conservatives cared about things like the rule of law.

Brett Kavanaugh's ICE claim brutally fact-checked by reporter Stories are piling up of American citizens and those otherwise legally in the United States being arrested or detained by federal agents carrying out warrantless raids. Americans being stopped, brutalized, and detained by federal agents have become known as the "Kavanaugh Stop," wrote legal analysts...

Stories are piling up of American citizens and those otherwise legally in the United States being arrested or detained by federal agents carrying out warrantless raids.

The idea that ME/CFS must be psychosomatic or de-conditioning because current testing could not identify a mechanism or marker is *precisely the same* reasoning error that leads to conspiracies like anti-vax or Q.

This is complex & I don’t understand it, so it must be this thing I do understand.

I hate to sound like some ancient old throwback, but I don't recognise the country I am living in.

When did racism become acceptable again?

Why do we have to rely on ageing retired Engand fullbacks for guidance on the misuse of flags?

A pub terrace needing 26 attached documents including a 59-page long heritage assessment is absolutely barking mad.

With their usual amount of careful planning and checking the Conservatives launch their new merchandise...

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies.

This is dangerous and could cause serious injury.

The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke.

They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”.

Stay strong Portland.

In my view, the Starmer government will not have a market or fiscal crisis.

Will not have economic growth, but it is competent enough to avoid a crisis.

And we will see in my view a collapse of stock market valuation particularly at the trillion $ US companies.

Half of Tory members do not want Kemi Badenoch to lead party into next election, says poll Having lost to Ms Badenoch a year ago, Robert Jenrick is now comfortably the members' favourite.

There are obvious differences between France and Spain, but none quite obviates the comparison. One leader tried to bridge the political centre and the neoliberal-authoritarian right; another has (however imperfectly) bridged the political centre and the emancipatory left.

There's a fascinating case study to be done on the different strategies of Macron and Sánchez. Both emerged, against the odds, from centrist milieux in the mid-2010s to lead their countries since 2017/18. But their fates are totally different.

Man arrested over suspected arson at Peacehaven mosque The front entrance of the building and a car parked outside were damaged, Sussex Police say.

Good. Let’s hope the perpetrator gets a substantial jail term.

My 7yo says "ChatGPT is rubbish" because he watched a YouTube Kids video where it took TWENTY goes to show a peeled apple (fruit).

True.

Reform lied to get elected to Kent County Council.

They promised tax cuts in their election material.

The only tax councils have any real say over is council tax.

Refore are now saying they will increase council tax in Kent.

Failure to deliver on what they promised after just 5 months.

Gary Neville admits tearing Union Jack down from building site — Metro The football pundit hit out at 'disgusting' division being sewn in communities, 'mainly by angry middle-aged white men' in the wake of the synagogue attack in Manchester.

Good lad. He knows and we know, the flags being put up illegally are for purely divisive and sinister reasons.

Bloody foreigners, right?

Decent people don't vote Reform

The idea that public agencies can just efficiency their way to doing more with less is one of most pernicious neoliberal lies ever told.

Dear Gods of all that is stupid...

IT'S REAL.

I think even this stuff is too soon to say. As it stands, whoever wins in 2029 will have, yes, ageing population, etc. But they will also benefit from having had a more responsible predecessor (and Labour's missteps are easier to un-mess up than the ones of 2010 to 2024).

Every post from the Tory conference just makes me sad. Like watching a destitute clown begging for pennies.

It breaks my mind that two British political parties have seen scenes like this and decided to try and replicate it in Britain. Thuggary, lawlessness, state brutality. Farage and Badenoch decided they liked the look of it.
