Your regular reminder that the Palace of Westminster started falling to pieces in 1849 (about 20 years before they finished building it). Real cowboy job.

Jeff Bezos gives yet another powerful person an uncritical profile. The point of this one: if we’d listened to the king, there would be no climate crisis – even if some of his ideas are strangely trippy

it's unbelievable to me that someone could actually be a trillionaire. i think most of us have trouble internalizing how much money that truly is. let me put it in simple terms for you: a trillion dollars is three million dollars

"Starmer didn't pick Mandelson in spite of his Epstein connections… He picked him because of them."
Would he have made the same choice if Kamala Harris had won?
"Absolutely not", says @lewisgoodall.com.

I don't think the UK is ungovernable but until we have a government actually willing to address Brexit and all the other problems* that are dragging down people's quality of life and their life prospects, any leader presiding over national decline is going to become unpopular.
* It's a long list.

Do they understand how mad they sound? As if anyone has ever decided to cross the Channel in a small boat because, if they make it, they might get to take a free taxi to a doctor's appointment?

I see Starmer has said he opposes "the lie that people who look different cannot really live together" so expect another anti-refugee policy to be announced tomorrow. Every time he condemns racism he ends up courting it the next day.

I've checked and actually I can't see any sign of Leela being scripted to scream in either Fang Rock or Invisible Enemy, or any situation where she would do so; there's a "Doctor, help me!" in the latter when she's mauled by the phagocytes but that's about it.
I'm not sure Louise's memory about it having "Leela screams"-type-directions is correct (there's no trace of them in the script). I suspect that was The Invisible Enemy.

Am I the only one who remembers that Starmer specifically appointed Mandelson because of his "networking abilities" and "trade expertise"? He was given the job /because/ he had spent the previous decade hanging out with tech billionaires and their dodgy pals. It wasn't a shortcoming - it was a USP!
