I'm not sure if Tristan counts me as a friend, but this is me.
I have a *lot* of friends who have always had strong family relationships start talking about how they're now struggling to even speak to their parents in the last few years.

Every time - their parent's worldview is getting darker and nastier as a result of their media and social media diet.

Pregnant women who take paracetamol aren't stoking the risk of autism for their unborn children despite Donald Trump's claims of a link, according to a comprehensive review of research.

Sibling comparison trials showed no evidence of such problems, the scientists said.

When we said NATO wasn't working we were derided.

When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid.

The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe.

It's time for a rethink.

Serious question.

Is Nigel Farage scared of @zackpolanski.bsky.social ?

He keeps avoiding debates with him

Week by week - Laura Kuenssberg is interviewing the party leaders.

When I agreed to come on the show, I was told Nigel Farage was also doing it.

He's now pulled out - and they've sent the deputy instead.

The same Nigel Farage who's refusing to debate me.

A pattern emerging...

Please share this widely…

The EHRC is an anti-rights group.

An Independent EHRC is one way we can fight back.

I regard the existing EHRC as not independent and consequently not legitimate. So I am looking to recruit members of an independent EHRC who can fulfill its functions with genuine integrity and…

Reform now so toxic in Scotland that a great many Scottish voters would abandon normal party loyalties and views on independence in order to block one of Nigel Farage’s candidates from becoming an MSP, Norstat poll for Sunday Times finds [with share token].

Cory Doctorow has been venting the radical suggestion to legalize interoperability as a counterweight to US tech power. DMCA-style copyright rules block competitors, forcing foreign businesses onto US platforms effecting permanent rent extraction from EU businesses to the US. Still too crazy?

Keir Starmer did everything he could to be US poodle and his strategy has ended in total humiliation. Both him and Farage are puppets of a hostile foreign nation.

It's obvious that if someone is a bully - you don't just keep appeasing them.

Disastrous strategy by Labour.
