The Ed Miliband hate-fest in the UK press continued last year.
Predominantly right-wing newspapers published an incredible 112 editorials attacking the energy secretary.
That's two editorials a week, and more than twice as many as 2024, calling him a "crazed" "zealot" suffering with “eco insanity”

The Sun alone published 51 editorials attacking Miliband
The Daily Mail, the Daily Telegraph and the Times published most of the remainder.
These editorials are remarkably personal - often attacking Miliband's character as well as suggesting he is "mad" due to his support for net-zero.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

‘Spat at, pushed, punched’: medics tell of soaring levels of violence in hospitals
Doctors and nurses blame inaction by police and the NHS for mounting toll of physical and sexual abuse
*
NHS staff face ‘national emergency’ as patient violence hits 285 incidents a day
A Guardian call-out to NHS staff in England to share their experiences of violence in hospitals has revealed that doctors, nurses, paramedics and managers are being overwhelmed by a torrent of physical assaults and sexual abuse by patients.
Most respondents said they had little faith in the NHS to tackle the scale and severity of this abuse, which included being attacked with weapons, including knives and chairs. Many staff felt there was no point in reporting physical or sexual harm because perpetrators faced no real comeback from the NHS or the police. Continue reading...

Less than a week after they were installed, many of the flex posts on the BU bridge have been destroyed by vehicles. Appreciate the thought but cyclists clearly need more protection at these intersections.

Lots of good reasons to further embrace renewables
Six of the top 10 are either in a kinetic conflict or threatening one, with each other or a neighbour. Or they’re under blanket sanctions. Or both.
Yet oil is at ~$60 a barrel.
