TN bill would allow death penalty for women who have an abortion SBC President Clint Pressley endorsed the effort saying it would β€œprovide preborn children with equal protection of the laws.”

The economic cost of Brexit has just been laid bare – and it’s devastating A decade on, the economic cost of Brexit has just been laid bare – and it’s devastating. Here's what the figures say.

Because of Brexit, the UK GDP is 6–8% lower than it would have been, business investment is 18% lower than in comparable economies, and both employment and productivity are around 4% lower. Can’t wait to see in a decade how Trump has damaged the US economically.

A new all-electric double-decker Climate Stripes bus has started taking passengers around Reading today.

The bus shows the warming stripes for Reading back to the 1860s and will hopefully help start climate conversations amongst passengers.

Whole interview is remarkable. The AI chat around 17-18 mins is spot on. Ian's gag about being glued to your phone at 19 mins is superb. But the last 4-5 minutes with a highly political soliloquy (written by Shakespeare) from Thomas Moore is utterly stunning.

I feel this way about the use of X as the main communications route for lots of companies.

Transport are particularly bad for this - train going to be cancelled? Find out on X. Lost your bag? Contact us on X.

β€˜If I think about what this means, I want to cry’: what happens when a city loses its university?

If I think about what this means, I want to cry’: what happens when a city like Southend loses its university?

Loss of education, reskilling, social mobility, exports, contribution to local economy and hope.

40-45% of universities in crisis, caused by govt policies.

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign.

Gregory Bovino must also be fired.

No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

Too often, a loud minority claims to speak for women. But women are diverse - and most of us reject the idea that feminism means exclusion.

This campaign gives women a platform to show that we will not be misrepresented.

1. This short thread is about the issue that dominates almost every aspect of politics, and causes or exacerbates most of our problems: the extreme wealth of a small number of people. Here’s the amazing thing: almost the entire political class aligns with the ultra-rich against the rest. 🧡1/10

One court decision, two different headlines.

Guardian on the left, NY Times on the right. Which one more directly conveys information and the stakes to the reader?
