Take Big Money Out of Our Politics British politics is awash with money from super rich donors. In 2023, two-thirds of all private donations came from just 19 people. These so-called ‘mega donors’ enjoy privileged access to political p...

Astounding interview by Nick Robinson with an Israeli government spokesperson on the Today programme this morning (around 2 hours and 12 minutes in on BBC sounds). Robinson's questioning is brilliant and the spokesperson descends into hysteria. Wild listen.

Also, play by the rules

Earlier this month, Flint, Michigan finished replacing its lead pipes to ensure clean drinking water for the community.
