Two stories you may not have seen this week that would be a big deal in a normal country:
1) The ‘dossier’ detailing the BBC’s editing of the Trump speech literally edited Trump’s speech.
2) The NBER calculated that Brexit’s longer term damage to GDP was greater than originally forecast.

It takes an obscene amount of hubris to lecture the BBC when you have The Telegraph’s record on truth-telling.
Some of the paper’s errors this year are so bad they’re almost laughable 👇🏻

The Govt has announced a £104m investment in local transport with £1.3m spent here in #Telford.
The money will boost our transport networks - better buses, reducing congestion, making streets safer & more.
This will unlock job education & training opportunities for those who've been denied them.

This is so reminiscent of Brexit…
Farage loudly whipping up fear and hatred, in front of a huge ‘Breaking point’ poster with tiny little fact checks whispered far behind the bullshit headlines.
His immigration ‘plan’ would be a cruel and incompetent shitshow. We’ve done this all before.

Hugh Muir recalls the response of London Mayor Ken Livingstone to 7/7 from Singapore. I agree that, despite his flaws & failings at other times, that this was an important message

Reform UK has uncovered the scandal of a “wasteful” £350m contract.
Small problem: it’s not a contract. Or £350m. Or a scandal.
But apart from that, spot on! 😬

Elon Musk has a favorite phrase when making bold promises: “Next year.”
From Full Self Driving and Hyperloop to robotaxis and literal robot armies, we traced his timeline of big talk and missed marks—because in Elon’s world, hype usually outruns reality.
