He even tells the Russian diplomat when Zelenskyy is coming to DC and that he recommends Putin call before the meeting. Unbelievable traitor.

Was there any coverage of the recent record warmth in both the Arctic and Antarctic? Multiple global datasets now confirm these records, and I think it's really quite striking.

Here's some very quick plots showing NOAAGlobalTempv6 data from October too. And see my earlier posts.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

James Carville, in his NYT Op-ed, says it's time for Democrats to "embrace a sweeping, aggressive, unvarnished, unapologetic, and altogether unmistakable platform of pure economic rage. The most populist platform since the Great Depression."

I can dig it.

So any rise affecting top council tax bands would be a very progressive tax rise. And, boy could Council Tax do with being more progressive!

As the red line shows, regardless of what band they’re in, the poorest pay much more as a proportion of income on CT than the richest.
