In 2009, when I was a PhD student, I think even I could have gotten my hands on a ten grand loan from somewhere. Why on earth couldn't Peter Mandleson, literally a government minister, borrow ten grand from somewhere other than Jeffrey Epstein?

Online ads target Zack Polanski’s drugs stance as Labour aims to sideline Greens and consolidate anti-Reform vote
Labour has launched an attack on the Green party for wanting to legalise drugs, as the parties vie to be seen as the main leftwing contender against Reform UK in the Gorton and Denton byelection.
The party is pursuing a strategy of trying to sideline Zack Polanski’s party after warnings Labour was too slow to pitch itself as the “Stop Reform” party in Caerphilly, which was won by Plaid Cymru. Continue reading...

As a news organisation the #BBC really is completely shot. R4 6pm news last night, a longish section on Burnham and the G&B by-election, followed by Chris Mason riffing on the same. Not one mention of the Greens. Even the Times gets it better, reporting Lab insiders fearing they may come third.
