I one got the first page of the paper FAXED to us with "THEY MISS THE POINT" written diagonally across it in Sharpie. That was the extent of the "review" 😂

A reminder: Matt Goodwin lost heavily in spite of an almost total lack of tactical voting, not because of it.

The combined Green/Labour vote was 66%, versus 28.7% for Reform.

If Labour and the Greens split the vote 50/50 – a total coordination fail – he'd have finished third, not second.

Editorial: Florida’s fire risk keeps climbing. Don’t ignore it Florida is in the grip of a record drought. Floridians can see it in the withered tones of roadside vegetation and hear it in the dry crunch of their once-green lawns. But those who have been aroun…

"But many Floridians — particularly those who have moved here since 1998 and have no prior experience with wildfires on a massive scale — don’t see these signs and don’t comprehend the omens. They arrived ready to worry about hurricanes, but might not think of fire in the same hazardous terms."

Braverman deleted this tweet which made me wonder who that previous prisoner was. His name was Junead Ahmed. He was a conman mistakenly released in 2023. She was Home Secretary at the time. Oh.

You need to get your teeth into it.

Three things that are probably worth knowing about the 'Stanford top 2% scientists' metric that people are sharing.

1. It's based on a rather subjective 'C-score', where:

GLENN: You look fabulous in that suit

TRUMP: That's the one that attacked you last time

ZELENSKYY: I remember that. You're in the same suit. I changed mine.

How 4% of Migrants have Become a National Obsession. According to YouGov, 47% of Britons believe there are more "illegal" Migrants than "Legal" Arriving in the UK despite "illegal immigration" representing only 4% of the numbers. Why is this?
