"People aren't more productive working from home - it's a load of nonsense”

Whatever you do JUST DON’T VOTE REFORM!

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I'll do likewise with that one ☺️

Are you reading the Genius of Trees? That's the book I've currently got on the go.

That last point. She’s exactly right.

And rename the House of Lords “The House of Scoundrels, Rogues, Thieves and Bounders.” (With apologies to the small number of members who are genuinely hardworking and honourable).

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

Google to pay $68 million over allegations its voice assistant eavesdropped on users Class-action lawsuit alleged that Google's voice assistant illegally recorded and shared private conversations with advertisers.

Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

Labour will ensure all peers meet the high standards the public expect of them and we will introduce a new participation requirement as well as strengthening the circumstances in which disgrace members can be removed.

Blink and you'll miss it - another Labour manifesto promise broken.

We've spent ten years being proved right about all the things the loudest, biggest voices in the UK media insisted, often obnoxiously, we were wrong about.

Greens could join pact with Labour – but not while Starmer’s in charge, Polanski says Exclusive: Zack Polanski tells The Independent that doing a deal with a Starmer-led Labour Party would ‘lead to a worse version of Nigel Farage’

No interest in working with Keir Starmer. The public know who he is.

We're replacing Labour - and taking on Reform.

No vested interests. Just standing with the 99%. And that's powerful.

Your opinion. How about a 1-1 debate? Let the voters decide.
