The blunt truth is that if Karen Pierce had been a man, then she would still be US ambassador now and Keir Starmer's government would not be on the brink of death.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

The thing to remember about Suella Braverman is that not only is she nasty, untrustworthy, and full of hate and anger, but she's also abominably stupid.

Not a Labour supporter, but Bloviator Johnson literally sat on a throne of lies. Don't recall the BBC holding him up to scrutiny, or the rest of the whining right wing churnalists now chuntering on for days about Reeves.

Reform and X are not Britain, as John Curtice shows, though this loud minority voice thinks it is

Migration bad for economy?
32% of public - but 73% of Reform

Bad for our culture?
31% of public - 81% of Reform

Rights for ethnic minorities have gone too far?
18% of public - but 49% of Reform

Today is the anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement. One of the great political achievements post WW2.
For those of us growing up in the 1970s peace, albeit an uneasy one at times, was unimaginable.
