The DoJ made it easy to download everything that they released, which any experienced journalist does with document dumps by default (even if they don’t make it easy).
So deleting without explanation is just dumb. It’s never going to work. It’s going to directly draw attention to what you delete.

At least when Keith Joseph didn't believe in the railways he had the excuse that we had had 40 years of decline under British Rail. That Rishi Sunak basically didn't believe in them because he was doing 1980s cosplay is comfortably the worst thing he did as prime minister.
Canceling the northern leg of HS2 was an act of insane self-harm
Industry insiders are concerned that fewer, shorter non-tilting trains are on order for HS2 — and that journey times will return to those of the 1990s

The idea of “imported” violence against women and girls is a deeply comforting fiction - one that allows people to avoid looking at where it actually happens: within our homes and behind closed doors.
The Violence Isn’t Imported. It’s Domestic.
Kemi Badenoch’s attempt to blame violence against women on migrants doesn’t just collapse under scrutiny - it actively distracts us from where the harm really happens, and who is actually responsible.

Dog-whistle and factually incorrect. Ladies, raise your hand if you were sexually assaulted by a boy at school? I’d wager this or a family member is most women’s first experience of sexual violence

Rejoining Erasmus is unambiguously good news - and a rare example of a policy that particularly benefits the young.
And no, it is a not a "betrayal" of Brexit. It's the kind of sensible, grown-up arrangement between the UK & the EU that many Brexiters said they wanted.

Concentration of media ownership has always been an issue, but it is now a crisis.
Ideological propaganda spread by ideological media is demonstrably harmful for society & personal liberty.

Labour’s shift away from “immigration is good but it needs to be managed” to “it is bad” is a gift to essentially everyone they compete with, because it means that they don’t have the right position to be able to attack *anyone*.
I'm sorry, but these attacks are just not going to convince Green-curious voters, because Labour is so visibly out of step with those voters' core values
This by @umakumaran.bsky.social is good - and a example of exactly how Labour should be taking on the Greens; on values, direct and on Labour territory. Taking them seriously.
