We’ve made this investigation free to read because so many people in Sheffield are affected by this story.

Our journalists have been knocking on doors for weeks and we’ve had to employ lawyers because of the legal threats made against us.

We can only do this kind of journalism with your support.
“It broke my heart, that was my savings towards a new car,” one woman who paid Milne tens of thousands of pounds told us. “He has just wiped me out.”

Who is Andrew Milne - the solicitor sending "very aggressive" letters to Sheffield homeowners?

“What Mamdani has in common with people like Polanski -but also Trump and Farage - is that he acknowledges people's lived experience and seeks to act on it. Whatever one thinks of his solutions, tonally, that is very different from most centrist politicians who, on the whole, just propose tweaks.”

Funcionarios y generales mexicanos prometieron a un empresario recuperar una mina, pero solo si recibían sobornos. Recuperarla era más que un negocio: era un ajuste de cuentas con su pasado y una oportunidad de retribuir al orfanato que lo crió social.elpais.com/d6owu17

"Centrists" need to call Mamdani a "radical leftist" so they can say Trump/Farage fascism is just the opposing side of an equally matched "both sides" conflict

But Mamdani is just a middle of the road, European social democrat

And "centrists" - ie centre-right and right - are simply pro-fascism.
BBC Radio 4 this morning joined Trump in describing Zohran Mamdani as a "radical leftist".

I spent a really long time amassing everything you need to know about Labour's vast deals with fossil gas-loving, Trump-donating AI giants out to pepper the world with climate-wrecking data centres...so you don't have to!

My reporting for @desmog.com 📖👇
The sheer scale of Labour's deals with Trump-donating Big Tech firms has been seriously under-reported.

Not only are they being allowed to build climate-wrecking data centres, they've also been given permission to embed their tech within Whitehall, the NHS, and defence 👇👇

In case you're worried the Mediterranean will empty out or get as salty as the Dead Sea, fear not! The Straits of Gibraltar let in just enough Atlantic water to keep it at the same level as the ocean

Do read Czerski's book on the world ocean as a physics-based machine. It's mind-bendingly great.

To defeat Donald Trump, first you must defeat Chuck @schumer.senate.gov. Hopefully that’s what Zohran Mamdani has just done…

It came as Democrats flipped 2 Senate seats and 1 House seat.

So excited, I have to share some work of ours @connectedbydata.org (well, mostly @timdavies.org.uk's) that has just gone live.

We've developed a "Workshop in a Box" for teachers to use to get student feedback into the AI in Education Summit early next year.
