An “academic” just lied on PM on R4 saying that Farage’s uncosted promises were like those of Corbyn’s. This is a lie. And so boring. Farage is more like Truss. Frog and Lettuce politics.

New Reform UK Councillors Daniel Rainbird & Nigel Berrill have taken photos of themselves with litter picking equiptment, standing next to bags of fly-tipped rubbish.
As a resident has pointed out, it was reported last week and the council cleared it, not a community litter pick.

Texas Republicans just passed a bill forcing every teacher to post the Ten Commandments in their classroom.
They passed it on the Sabbath… breaking the 4th Commandment.
Maybe they should try following the Ten Commandments before mandating them.

I still think represents the most shocking void in the UK’s COVID response - when the largest biomedical facility offered to undertake testing (many universities did the same) the government didn’t even answer. The cost would have been minimal. But no profit for private companies… is that it?
Astonishing evidence at the Covid Inquiry.
The Government repeatedly ignored offers from the Crick Institute to provide mass testing on a national scale.
Instead, the Government paid Deloitte consultants to project manage, not yet established, privately run labs.

Welfare cuts aren't just cruel, they're irrational.
Poverty creates vast social and economic costs that short-sighted politicians don't account for.

I love Ian Hislop but it’s worth noting that most of us would balk at the prospect of publicly admonishing a wrongdoer whose conduct you condemn in this way. I did it once to the UKIP/Reform/Brexit twerp Richard Tice but that took exactly zero guts.
This is speaking truth to actual power…

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa.
I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question:
Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from?
The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised.
