This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something
Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

Following the price surge, the British right are pedalling a fantasy of self-sufficiency through North Sea oil. This has no serious basis in reality. Britain has been a net energy importer for 20 years. It has nothing to do with net zero and everything to do with decades of declining production🧵

"I listened to 170 hours of Joe Rogan’s podcast – trust me, he hasn’t turned against Trump"
We're in The Guardian today, explaining why people can't just believe out of context clips about Rogan breaking from Trump, Joe is still very much on the Trump train.

So chuffed that my friend and hardest working skeptic alive, @mrmmarsh.bsky.social, got this opinion piece published in @theguardian.com.
If anyone knows Joe Rogan, it's him. Journalists skim clips from JRE; but Marsh does the deep dive.
If you're trying to be bombastic and discombobulate your opponents, you really need to have something substantial with which to do so.

Great result for a constituent who sought my office's help in securing an accessibility ramp to get in and out of their home following their hip operation.
I am pleased the ramp has now been fitted, and we were able to help and support this family.
Writing in the 12th century, the Persian polymath Omar Khayyám's writings were considered heretical in his time — but today Edward Fitzerland's 1859 translation is one of the most widely read poems in the English language. A testament to Iran's remarkable traditions of free inquiry and rationalism

And every single one of these projects will help reduce fossil gas imports that are once again about to become massively more expensive.

This looks like a good initiative from the government. There’s lots of public land available where well sited renewables projects make a lot of sense.

This is a ridiculous headline to a much more nuanced piece. Starmer could and should have talked more about the government’s net zero efforts given they are popular and largely working. But at no point did he ‘abandon net zero’.

Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament, with Mr Speaker.
A strong reminder that cooperation matters - and that we can do so much better together.
“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”
GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON
As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.
Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.
'Because council tax is included in rent you can't register to vote' (which is nonsense) actually means 'please don't tell the council or HMRC that the property is let out'.
Basically a confession that the landlord is iffy, in the Rightmove listing!
Plans to make refugee a status of perpetual limbo will do nothing to stop people who need help seeking it nor make it possible for them to rebuild their lives and contribute. I call for humane and effective asylum reforms because I am true Labour, not blue Labour. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Angeliki is a brilliant woman and I'm sorry she's not in Parliament. The absolute shit candidates (and MPs) get from all sides (and the whole political spectrum) is unbelievable.
It's the constant questioning of good faith that's the worst tbh - and the idea that you're fair game for nastiness.
Obviously disappointed by the result overnight but really proud of the Labour staff, organisers and volunteers who worked so hard🌹

OLD FOGIES RULE OUR LIVES! ALICE HINES RANDALL, plain-spoken factory girl, wants to know-WHO WATCHES THE WATCH COMMITTEES? And she doesn't mince her words ..
I appeal now to the City Mothers of our beautiful Modern Towns to ask the City Fathers to do something for the City Children. Won't you please let us have a paddling pool -I beg your pardon, a Lido ? We promise to keep it nice and clean and beautiful, and we'll never make the mistake of putting our back-less bathing costumes on back to front, even though some of us have never worn one before.
A young woman complains about the selfish old men telling her that she can't stay out late drinking, deciding which films she's allowed to watch, and which facilities she and her friends are allowed to enjoy...90 years ago today, in the Daily Mirror.

Out on the doorsteps in Gorton & Denton today with lots of volunteers and the Labour family.
We do this because we want to strengthen our Labour team by electing Angeliki Stogia.
There’s so much we want and need to do to turn things around for our country, let us build on this strong start 🌹
