Yellow wagtails are definitely more yellow than grey wagtails. But I'm always surprised at quite how yellow grey wagtails are. I feel the naming committee could have done a better job.

Again?

It's not a million miles from military widows in Russia, weeping with gratitude as the state compensates them with a sack of potatoes.

Britain's shadow workforce is paid as little as 65p an hour. Who cares for the carers? | Frances Ryan Carer’s allowance turns 50 this year, but it’s no reflection of the labour of the millions who cook, clean and nurse behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

"Family carers provide support valued at more than £184bn a year in the UK... That’s more than three-quarters of the entire expenditure for the NHS."

(I mean, obviously it's left me wanting to punch myself repeatedly in the face. But it's good to see some backlash)

Whether it's a Hillary Clinton staffer asking John Podesta how to make risotto or Elon Musk asking Jeffrey Epstein where he could find a party featuring child sex slaves, there's plenty of embarrassing emails on both sides.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

Thank you!

It looks like your most recent events were in 2023, cost £2,500, and were aimed at professionals with a requirement for OSINT training. Is there anything aimed at individual citizens? Do we / can we play a role?

It's a damned shame because it really should be a breed

Thank you. I did baulk at that, yes.

Can you elaborate of this point? I skimmed the Policy Exchange submission. While it's clear their core (incorrect) assumption is that immigrants and refugees are a net drain, I didn't think all their suggestions were rubbish.

@hellotimbennett.bsky.social Come on, Tim! Start posting here!

I abandoned the other place a year ago. Missing your content (assuming it's still money and investment, not deepfake porn)

Yesterday's Scottish Budget had a flagship policy: an increase in income tax thresholds. It's being widely reported as a cut in income tax for low earners.

That isn't really correct.

Four quick thoughts on a very peculiar tax cut.

The “if she had complied, she’d still be alive” line that we’re hearing from ICE defenders is the mantra of apologists for security forces in dictatorships through the ages.

Thinking Iran and USA and wondering if/when the UK starts using secret police to terrorise and murder unarmed civilian protestors... Will I have the balls to take to the streets?

Same day as The Epstein Files are meant to be released.

Yeah, that was a weird take.

I do think Scott Galloway has some very interesting thoughts on the topic, however, so kudos for name checking him.

(I suspect Galloway may have spent a bit more time thinking about this stuff than Jimmy).

Trump wants to enrich himself by selling Ukraine to Putin.

See, this is the part that really beggars belief.

You might have thunk that grifters should be able to spot a grift. But apparently not.
