The Tory opposition leader says that the Labour government's proposed act of 'performative cruelty' against refugees and their children is "small step in the right direction". Have we not learned that appeasing fascists is never a good idea? How about about appeasing the Greens for a change?

Do we have any indication yet of how long we will have to endure this endless drivel about the BBC's terrible left wing bias *cough* and how the perfectly truthful and reasonable US president (he who has never lied about anyone!) has been maligned by it ?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but in the real world on 31/07/2025:
Number of new socialist parties in the UK = 0
The number of members of new socialist parties in the UK = 0
I genuinely hope that changes, but we need to avoid deluding ourselves. Living in a fantasy world helps no one.

I wonder if there's a more concise description of "people who privately share a racist joke"

Imagine what Sonia Sodha would have made of it in her regular Observer pulpit if the trans doctor in the case had said a tiny fraction of the things that nurse had said…?

A man on Radio4 just said that while he's cleaning his teeth, he has started reading books rather than looking at his phone. My main takeaway from this is that older people who go on about how young people can't concentrate on anything anymore tend to be people who are unable avoid talking bollocks.

...or perhaps it dawned on someone in his PR department that publicly admitting that he supported Trump's run for US president while he was sitting on evidence that they were a rapist and pedophile is not a good look.

He didn't say anything. Training an AI model with limited data curated by his sister will produce something that is more of a representation of her relationship with him. Although meaningful, it's also a misrepresentation. There are ethical issues with AI pretending to be something it's not.

In case you lot over the pond are feeling like you're the only ones, on the news after some UK local elections this morning, I heard a jubilant fascist congratulating "our great leader" and talking about "returning Britain to its glorious past." It looks like we'll be in the same boat soon.

I wish the BBC would stop saying that that murdered paramedic Refat Radwan "died". He was killed: deliberately shot dead at close range while doing his job. It was a murder and a war crime. Don't call it anything else.

Anyone know how the NATO treaty works when NATO country attacks another NATO country? My understanding is that the attacker would breach Article 8; also, under Article 5, all other members have to attack the aggressor, but in doing so, they'd be attacking a NATO member, so... erm...

I am no economist, so I am a bit baffled by the chancellor on BBC Radio 4 this morning. Could someone explain to me in layman's terms how cutting a disabled person's benefits will result in them having more money?

Just heard a broadcast from the UK state information ministry (AKA the #BBC) in which an ex-Bullingdon club member likened Attlee's government to Nazi Germany. What a way to start the day! Is this what passes for journalism these days?

I wish people would stop saying "the left want to do X," or "the right want to do Y."
It is almost never true.

The BBC is our greatest form of soft power (closely followed by the Arts in general) and yet both the left and the right want to dismantle it. We are developing quite the knack for self-face-shooting.
There are very real examples of what happens when the World Service has retreated.
In Lebanon, when its Arabic radio service left, the Russian state-backed Sputnik radio moved in and on to its frequency - directly targeting its former audience…

This, absolutely. Device dependence is problematic for every generation, but it also seems to be a convenient way of not talking about our appalling legacy that so many young people have to live with.
Terribly convenient, isn't it, for a generation in power which has ruthlessly screwed young people - house prices, tuition fees and grants, environmental breakdown, hostility to their speech and identity - to blame smart phones for their poor mental health.
