I see that Telegraph are going after the BBC and David Olusga for his Empire series (which is a year or so old?). Such a clear example of them hating a brown man doing history. He's not even slightly radical! Saw him in Edinburgh last week; he's the personification of mild.

The HPV vaccine is such a triumph for humanity. I fucking love the people who developed it, you absolute fucking QUEENS.
Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

“Eton boys cheered Farage’s “worst comments on migrants and Covid” and subjected visiting girls to “racial slurs” & “misogynistic comments”…The college said it had apologised “unreservedly” for the “totally unacceptable” behaviour, but it is difficult to understand what other outcome they expected.”

I endured an English public school. But that’s not the only reason I’m unsurprised about the Farage allegations |
Let’s put aside the schooldays accusations and look, instead, at the Reform leader’s path since then. I think a pretty clear picture of the man emerges, says author and podcaster Musa Okwonga

A child poverty strategy with the 2-child limit in place would *not* be a credible child poverty strategy. *All* of the growth in child poverty since the 2011/12 low point is for children in scope of this policy.

I don’t think Danny Kruger is being taken seriously enough - this is far more extreme than anything the Conservatives were allowed to get away with. He is effectively saying that being anti-racist and being trans are contrary to British national identity and his party is leading the polls.
Reform are so dangerous and this headline doesn’t do it justice. I also think a piece like this should start with the politician‘s core views just to emphasise the urgency.

That American politics went off the rails after Barack Obama and British ethnonationalism has reared its head after Rishi Sunak is the real tell about how committed some people are to integration and post racial politics.
A country where Sadiq Khan can lead London, Humza Yousaf can lead Scotland, and Rishi Sunak can lead Britain is a country where the racists had *lost*. So much of this vicious bile has come directly after that and almost no one seems to draw the connection

Pensions account for 55 per cent of British social security spending, a hefty chunk of NHS spending is also on elderly people, and so is a big chunk of local council social care budgets. There is no way around this! So you either need HUGE birth rates or you need immigration of working-age people.
