The fact that there has not been proper outcry at the transformation of WH Smiths into TG Jones tells me everything I need to know about where this country is at now. I am old enough to remember the Choco Krispies protests of 1998.

I sincerely want to ask the self-proclaimed "good landlords" how many of their tenants they think rent by choice.

NEW: Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, and tell local cops whether to contact ICE about the person, while also removing apps designed to warn communities about ICE officials.

At 16 I did a part time job in a new supermarket. I asked who counts the people. Blank looks. "For the millionth customer prize," I explained. A colleague explained they just pick a photogenic person for a news story. That's when I realised there will never be justice.

Does Keir Starmer realise how much trouble he's in? The Prime Minister is facing a crisis of contempt among his own MPs

Anyone who's worked for a large company will recognise the description of Sir Keir in thisโ€”a supercilious blandroid CEO, cut off from the real world, isolated from decision making by delegation, but still demanding the final say & frequently going against advice

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

Good morning.

Liberalism got us into this mess and has shown no ability or interest in getting us out of it.

Wes Streeting has received ยฃ225k from private healthcare donors in the past year and I just don't think my morals could be bought for the price of half a London flat. I don't know if I have a number that would make me sell my country's health service down the river but Wes and I are different.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Yup. Apparently some Western capitalist billionaires are okay to hang out with on their private jets, I guess.

A new twist to the idea that future tense use affects decision making๐Ÿ‘‡ Cole Robertson @seangroberts.bsky.social et al show itโ€™s not future tense that drives psychological discounting but how people express the possibility of future events happening (modality). authors.elsevier.com/c/1m4gJ2Hx2-...

The fact that this person remains Health Secretary is objectively one of the most significant British political scandals of the post-Covid era. But because he's doing something the media barons like, everyone has decided it's fine.

how to preserve your friendships during an information crisis and why it's really important to try (if you can, and they're committed to it too)

my new book is published tomorrow! I have put an extract here for free of what I think might be the most important thing I say in the whole book - how to preserve friendships during an information crisis (and why it's important to try, if you can)
