Only recently @infrequently.org was waxing lyrical over the prettiness of styled RSS feeds (infrequently.org/2025/07/links/) and next I see we have a proposal to remove the entire mechanism to do that from Chrome...

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

There are a lot of idiots enraged by this misleading Times headline.

The article itself - yes, the exact same one - points out that:

A) In any typical year, about 50 independent schools close

B) More independent schools opened than shut, so the overall number went up.

But that's far too nuanced.

It doesn’t matter how many votes Corbyn got… he lost…

Part of the reason he got so many votes is people were willing to vote for him to get the Tories out

I know of lifelong Labour members from working class backgrounds in the Welsh valleys who quit the party when he became leader

Boundless is going under, it’ll cease trading by end of day. Archna has emailed Neem Tree Press authors about this but not Unbound ones :/

Authors, a couple staff members are working hard to get reversions, subcontracts, and files to us—if you need them email NOW before the lights go off

His campaigning was luke warm at best and then post referendum he ran a three line whip to invoke Article 50 before there was any plan or agreement

We wanted change - and this is what we got. Labour will leave Government, after only one term, having achieved nothing beyond delivering the country to Reform
