Climate, law, politics, health, dogs, cats, science, reading. Not in any order and not necessarily all at once.
A bit of whimsy is good too. And food.

Going to leave you with a Home Office chart from their most recent asylum stats so you can decide whether the UK is a magnet for asylum seekers with a uniquely generous asylum system www.gov.uk/government/s...

So fine, wait for the full details. But let's not pretend Mahmood's feeble little brief-the-Guardian-and-the-Mail gambit is balanced in some way. It is very lurid about the bits that appeal to Nazis and very subtle about the bits that appeal to liberals.

Amazing to watch a government just totally squander a big parliamentary majority through incompetence, an absence of leadership, and a total lack of of ideological coherence. The fact that they started election campaigning on day one reveals the paucity of ideas - get elected to get elected again.
