Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Zack Polanski’s response to the Manchester terror attack has been a masterclass in mature statesmanship.

Soulful, human, eloquent, empathetic, nuanced, confident and focused on healing.

And bold. It has shone in contrast to so much weaponising or ill thought through commentary.

Thank you Zack. 💪

Fascinated by her exact blend of over-confidence, where you can see her doing that weird blinking thing she does when 'her complete lack of preparation or genuine intellectual curiosity' collides with 'facts she had not previously bothered to be across'.

UK nature is amongst the most depleted on the planet

We're getting a wave of articles that are like, "gee willikers it sure seems like the people who complained about 'cancel culture' for years really like canceling people."

Yes! This was extremely obvious at the time and a lot of us pointed it out!

After Charlie Kirk's death, teachers and professors nationwide fired or disciplined over social media posts At least a dozen faculty and staff have faced fallout over insensitive comments online.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

🚨 BREAKING: GANTRY CLIMBERS NOT GUILTY

A jury found Sam, Isobel and Rachel not guilty of public nuisance at Guilford Crown Court today, after they climbed gantries above the M25 in 2022.

The jury decided they had a reasonable excuse for taking action.

To many American pundits liberalism isn’t a system of values to fight for but just a framework for civil discourse. Even on those pallid terms, Kirk’s discourse wasn’t civil and he didn’t defend free speech. He ran a McCarthyite blacklist of left-wing academics!

there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

"...climate change makes up only about 1% of media coverage...many stories about disasters linked to climate change fail to mention the link, or mention climate change at all. Making these connections clearer may encourage stronger public support for climate action."

This cannot happen fast enough.
