Too many ill/disabled people have been put through months of stress & fear that more essential support will be taken away. Policies & rhetoric around immigration have been horrendous. There's little care or support for trans people. No party can take votes for granted - they need to win back trust

How the BBC & ITV give disproportionate coverage to Farage & Reform: hard evidence from a serious study. BBC & ITV now give Reform more coverage than the Conservatives, more than the Lib Dems & nine times the Greens. Superb research from Stephen Cushion.

Mrs Joanne Murray, to give her her correct legal name, and not that made up one she uses on X, once again keen to reinforce the patriarchal idea of what constitutes a woman.
She even believes that people with DSDs are somehow men or women first, and their condition is some kind of ‘afterthought’.

This column on Vox is the biggest pile of steaming AI crap I've seen this year. Human's aren't running out of ideas. Instead, those with power and money don't want to listen to ideas that threaten their power and money.
Ideas are plentiful. Putting those ideas into action is the hard part.

This sounds like defensive briefing straight from a Morgan McSweeney Whatsapp group in denial about how an ineffective leader unwilling to face the breakdown of US-Europe relations might not be the best figure to lead the UK into a post-American order

The idea that you mustn't change leader in time of war was one Boris Johnson's team pushed hard.
As I wrote at the time, the UK has a long history of doing just that. Indeed, "The ability to change leader during a crisis was once regarded as a strength of the UK system".

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

The Government spends an average of £230,000 a year on every single child in care
Of that more than £60,000 is profit that never even goes near a child
The corporations get that, but if you foster a child you get only £10,000.
A sick system that has been twisted for profit
