“FIFA peace prize”. Like when you run up a quick certificate to placate a toddler who didn’t win the Nursery fancy dress prize just to shut him up.

Crypto Investor Donates £9 Million to Reform UK After Nigel Farage Plugs His Company and Tells Industry 'I Am Your Champion' The Reform leader recently used media interviews to back Christopher Harborne's company while promising to cut taxes and regulations on crypto firms

A Thailand-based crypto investor has handed a record-breaking £9 million to Reform UK, shortly before Nigel Farage used media interviews to plug his crypto firm and promise lower taxes and deregulation on the industry

2 in 3 of Nigel Farage’s current and former partners do not speak English as their first language.

This is vile and so so wrong. GB News is the TV version of X.

Extreme racism like this should not be platformed as ‘news.’

It is absolutely disgusting and another attempt to drag ‘debate’ to the right and destabilise our democracy.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?

That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

Cost of unregistered children's care homes a 'national scandal' - Ofsted The Children's Homes Association says there is no clear national plan and government must 'fix the system'.

Cost of unregistered children's care homes a 'national scandal'.

Charge up to £30,000 a week per child.

Poor regulation. Lack of capacity as the sector was privatised. Profiteering rife. Councils spent £8.1bn on children in care.

Why are so many children in care?

While obviously Lammy's proposal of scrapping many jury trials is getting the headlines, it seems odd how little attention his proposal to scrap the automatic right to appeal is getting. That seems like quite a big thing to be honest, especially for poorer and more marginalised defendants. #r4today

We kept the receipts. These comments, taken together, paint a picture of the man he is today.

It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says:

"The European Union is the prototype for the New World Order."

That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories.

How the fuck did this man direct the course of our politics?

Two women - one older; one elderly - cycling on a segregated cycle lane in the Netherlands.

In the Netherlands, where the Dutch invest in safe cycling, the over-65s cycle around a quarter of their journeys, while the over-80s cycle around 10% of theirs.

Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and cycle lanes don't 'restrict freedom', they expand it.

"Part of the iconic Wetherspoons brand—imagine Denny’s and a Greyhound bus station have unprotected sex, and the baby is raised by carpet... The customers—the bitter, the deranged, and the men in full motorcycle outfits eating lasagne at 11am—shoot us curious, guarded glances." 😱

This is perfect.

Not just a tragedy for America, but, given the central place the US occupies in the research ecosystem, a tragedy for the world.

This is incredibly depressing- this holds out the prospect of curbing qnd even eliminating HIV infection, and we are blowing the opportunity.

BREAKING: “The idea that leaving the EU was the answer to all our cares and concerns has clearly been proved wrong."

Keir Starmer says that "wild promises were made" about Brexit.

He adds: "The same argument is now being made about the European Convention on Human Rights"

Who would have thought that appointing a talentless conspiracy theorist to the highest law enforcement position in a country would lead to poor leadership and bad outcomes?

It’s painfully obvious that the only route to significant growth is the reverse the massive drag on growth -I.e. Brexit

Let silly hacks go and work on their next bit of Westminster gossip. THIS is the main news from that conference. The clearest indication yet, right from the top.

Right, this is the thing, "the Budget is not honest", okay, sure, I'm with you, "because they made things seem worse than they are" - are you on glue?

👏🏽"We must all now confront the reality that the Brexit deal significantly hurt our economy. We have to keep reducing frictions. We have to keep moving towards a closer relationship with the EU. And we have to be grown up about it. To accept that it will require trade-offs."👏🏽

Music to my ears. ~AA

The great thing about Russian assets is that they are often stupid enough to telegraph their Russian asset status.
