Alicia Kearns spoke powerfully on the Today programme this morning about the Chinese spying case and the threat to our national security. Yet she, plus many MPs from all parties, Government depts and ministers, is still on Twitter. Musk is as grave a threat to the UK and should be treated as such.

Taking on Elon Musk should be an open goal in British politics.

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved.

Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning.

That New York Times story lots of people are sharing today about Farage's ties to US anti-abortion groups was first reported by @mc00.bsky.social on Byline Times a year ago bylinetimes.com/2024/11/29/n...

From Robert Jenrick's video - in which he did not see a single other white face on a brief trip to Birmingham, despite his video showing that he did.

"He must have been walking around Handsworth with his eyes closed" writes Dan Cave

Change is happening, and it's individual history teachers who are behind it, in my experience

@sathnam.bsky.social , I was most pleased to hear that my son's revision involving the East India Company (because of study of the Sepoys) was not triumphalism.
It seems his school is teaching him actual history.
I'll check for involvement from your books in the curriculum...

Pro tip: it conventionally requires the warring parties to make this statement for it to be credible.

I bang on about this a lot: I think the combination of a global pandemic, underregulated internet/SM, collapse/corruption of trustworthy media, plus now unregulated genAI, is a wildly toxic environment for radicalisation & mental health. We see the results of that in our politics & lives every day

Everyone knows at least one person (normally, but not exclusively, a guy) whose gone properly mental due to net rabbit holes.

We see public figures regularly go mad and destroy themselves.

And we have, at a policy level, just decided to put our fingers in our ears and go nahnahnah

Last night I heard of another friend of a friend who has been lost to a rabbit hole of online propaganda. We need to start treating this as a serious public health concern.

The first British Professional Boxing Association was formed in London in 1885 at the Blue Anchor, Shoreditch. Its founding members numbered around 60. I believe Hezekiah Moscow to be the first Black man to be elected, but the digitised Sporting Life in which they're all named is too faded to read!
Two photos of a nine and a half stone Black or Black mixed heritage Chinese man in his late 20s. On the left he is posing shirtless in white tights, fists raised against a painted backdrop of tropical plants in a studio portrait. On the right in the same studio he is wearing a typical late-Victorian working man's outfit, a dark velvet looking jacket, waistcoat, shirt, trousers.

There must be a better way of charitable fund-raising.

In its strategic report the company cited “unfavourable media coverage” as a potential risk to its business, warning that negative publicity for its service fees “could have an adverse effect on the size, engagement and loyalty” of its customer base. Let's hope so!
