The Epstein files show that Brexit was never a “plucky British revolt”. In reality, Brexit was fed, and empowered, by an entire class of oligarchs and autocrats, who thrive on chaos, weak regulation and brittle institutions.

The Epstein files reveal the role of Brexit in a global network which stands to gain from undermining democracy itself

This is pretty menacing.
Sarah Pochin wrote to Bangor's university student run debating society requesting that she attend to "answer questions from students."
When they said "no" Reform rolled all it's tanks onto the lawns and said they'll cut funding to the entire university if they win.

I like the govt's plan to ban smartphones and social media in schools but nobody's mentioned the glaring hole in it
![Scene is a spoof TV news item. The NEWSREADER is talking to camera from behind the desk.
NEWSREADER:
Now, here to discuss the smartphone ban in schools…
We have with us, YouTube Shorts.
[Pull back to show an anthropomorphised version of the YOUTUBE SHORTS screen, sat in the interviewee's chair across from the newsreader]
NEWSREADER:
Good morning.
YOUTUBE SHORTS:
Hi
NEWSREADER:
You Tube Shorts, you work in education...
YOUTUBE SHORTS:
Yes.
I work in schools across the country teaching Epic Dance
Fail, Try Not To Cringe Challenge and Al Slop.
NEWSREADER:
And will the proposed phone ban limit your ability to do your job?
YOUTUBE SHORTS:
No.
I'll still be on all school laptops because YouTube is vaguely educational and Google have made me impossible to turn off.
NEWSREADER:
So children are being asked to do their homework on...
...the most advanced distraction machine ever created?
YOUTUBE SHORTS:
Well-
I think a more constructive way to frame that question might be:
Can IShowSpeed jump over a moving Lamborghini?
[The newsreader silently looks at the screen on YOUTUBE SHORTS's front, where a YouTuber jumps over a Lamborghini. This continues for an awkward beat]
NEWSREADER:
Woah.
NEWSREADER [returning to awareness]:
What were we talking about?
YOUTUBE SHORTS [pointing at the next Short which has appeared on its own front]:
Look at this fat dog.
