Debunking Benefit 3: The Multiverse Where Britain Randomly Volunteers to Underwrite the EU A benefit built entirely out of counterfactual smoke, time slippage and the UK mysteriously becoming fiscally adventurous for the first time in history.

A Brexit benefit that only works if time runs backwards and the UK suddenly loves EU debt.

That’s… not how reality works.

Nigel Farage Has a Slogan. Britain Needs a Plan. A deep dive into why soundbites aren’t substitutes for statecraft.

As ever, lot of chest-beating with very little in the way of detail or deliverable policy - though at this point, that’s hardly a surprise.

Farage’s Daily Mail essay reads like it’s been engineered entirely for applause lines, not governance. No costings. No implementation plans. Just slogans.

Trump on NATO: “If the US was in trouble and we called them. You think they're going to come and protect us? I’m not so sure.”

This already happened, after 9/11. And every single member state backed the US. He really does talk a load of old blathering shite.

¿: Reuters My News Trump to revoke legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians as US steps up deportations By Ted Hesson and Kristina Cooke March 6, 2025 1:08 PM GMT • Updated 19 min ago Aa

In just two weeks, Trump has:

I'm curious to know if it is my imagination or whether other people who use Facebook find that it is becoming more toxic in the same way that Twitter/X did?

NO Nigel Farage - the vaccine rollout was not helped by Brexit YouTube video by Peter Stefanovic

If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it

If you agree share this FACT CHECK widely

Researchers Make Computer Models To Tackle Antibiotic Resistance Learn more about the new computer models that make more targeted antibiotics a possibility.

🧪 University of Virginia researchers created computer models to design targeted antibiotics, reducing bacterial resistance. By identifying metabolic traits, these precision treatments limit unnecessary antibiotic exposure. 🧬💻 #MLSky

Niche-specific metabolic phenotypes can be used to identify antimicrobial targets in pathogens The emergence of resistance to traditional antimicrobials increases the need to develop innovative approaches to understanding pathogen function. This study uses a computational data-driven approach…
