A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...

78% are murdered by a partner/ex

Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this

Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety

In fact, they voted against them...

Britain is not a country of racist bigots.

Time for the decent majority to "take back control".

Repost if you agree.

Today another trial that forms the basis for great drama: the case of Thomas More, tried and executed in 1535, events dramatised by Robert Bolt in a Man for All Seasons and Hilary Mantel in Wolf Hall. Was More really ‘the Socrates of England’?

Since Joe Rogan has gone on a full-scale flame attack on me this week, I've ported over my public letter to him to Spotify

I will be responding to the firehose of abuse he's shared with millions soon

Trump and his lawyers embrace the logic of dictatorship

"The administration's arguments boil down to this: if Trump wants to do it, he gets to. Their stance is that laws are irrelevant in the face of Trump’s wishes and the courts can’t stop him”

A really fascinating article - for anyone interested in how misinformation and politics are related. Spoiler alert! “Misinformation and radical-right populism must hence be understood as inextricable and synergistic—two expressions of the same political moment.”
Important research investigating politics and misinformation: used 32M tweets from politicians in 26 countries, spanning 6 years and several election periods. Radical-right populism was the STRONGEST determinant of those who spread misinformation.

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP.

It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next.

Amazon, Meta, GM, Google, and Microsoft have donated millions to Trump's inauguration.

America's largest corporations and wealthiest executives are showering Trump's inaugural with cash for one simple reason: to ensure they receive another round of trickle-down tax cuts.

Some great film directors came from acting, others from writing or photography. Lynch, like Kurosawa and Tarkovsky, came from painting, and in a way he was always first and foremost a visual artist. He will be missed

When billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech.

It’s a win for oligarchy.
Ann Telnaes resigned after the Washington Post editorial page killed her cartoon. It’s worth a share.

Big Tech executives are bending the knee to Donald Trump and it’s no surprise why: Billionaires like Jeff Bezos like paying a lower tax rate than a public school teacher.
