Wealthy Dubai residents race back to UAE to avoid tax bills Some risk spending too few days in the emirate and too many in the UK

This is nothing. Just send Mahmood out again to announce some more anti-refugee policies and you can easily find your way to fifth place.

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

Labour must stop channelling Reform and unite with progressives. That’s the lesson from Gorton and Denton | Sadiq Khan The threat to the party in some parts of our country is now existential. But we can progress, as we have in London, by being bold and strong in our core beliefs, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

"Trying to compete with Reform not only feels inauthentic... but a betrayal of what Labour is supposed to represent. We must address the concerns and fears of voters, not play on them."

Damning stuff from Sadiq Khan

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.

Screencap of Autocar tweet: "It's official! Buyers in the UK can now order some General Motor's biggest vehicles, direct from the manufacturer.

2010-18, SUVs were the second largest cause of the global rise in CO2 emissions, eclipsing shipping, aviation and heavy industry

Children in collisions with SUVs are 8 times more likely to die than with a standard vehicle

Keir Starmer's attempt to paint the Greens as extremists yet again reveals his intolerance of political difference. His instincts are illiberal and authoritarian.

Labour MP Ian Byrne: "The lines from the PM and Cabinet today essentially labelling the Green Party as extremist is appalling, desperate and frankly embarrassing.

"It also makes very clear that the leadership has zero understanding of where it has been going wrong."

Have to hand it to him, he was spot on with this one.

I'm ready. Let's all get together.

And not a moment too soon 👏👏👏

You're gonna love this. I received an editing request from someone who wanted me to do a developmental edit on their book. The subject of the book:

Fuck the fuck off, you fucking fucker.

Screen shot from Paul Embery’s X account: Respect to this police officer. Confronted by radicals demanding the arrest of a Christian preacher on the grounds that Whitechapel "is a Muslim area" she was calm and professional and gave them short shrift. Let's see more of this from the police. Has a video of a woman police officer talking to a group of Muslim men

This clip is all over the other place and has made its way onto GB News and Talk TV so I’ll do a bit of an explainer here too!

The clip doing the rounds is of a fantastic police officer telling a group of Muslim men that a Christian preacher nearby is entitled to freedom of expression.

A simple comic titled "How to live without cheese." Step 1: "Stop eating cheese." Step 2: "Explain step 1 to people when they repeatedly ask you how you live without cheese." Below the text is a cartoon drawing of a person with a neutral expression. The comic humorously illustrates how frequently vegans are asked about not eating cheese.

That casein addiction will subside 🧀

BBC reporting that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

There is no precedent for a senior member of the royal family being placed under arrest in modern British history. A seismic moment for the monarchy.

You can’t defeat the far right by giving them what they claim to want, bc that isn’t what they really want. What they really want- as they occasionally make clear- is racial purity. That’s why measures aimed at reducing migration are not only cruel & self-harming but pointless on their own terms

Another game of “play until the big, rich team wins.”

When Nigel Farage claimed that 1 million people in the UK didn't speak English properly, perhaps he was referring to the knuckle dragging Reform supporters banging on about "mooselamic rayguns"
