Armenia and Austria were the clear top 2 for me. Serbia was a stunning vocal but not my favourite song. Soft spot for Denmark for being a banger but not the best performance. Of course loved Malta, and Latvia not bad. Germany, Norway, Ireland, Australia all dreadful. #eurovision #eurovision2025

So on brand for The Times to help whip up the victimhood of the right, rather than calling it what it is… Criminal abuse of power. A corrupt politician being found guilty in a court of law. Judges did their job. Le Pen muzzled herself. She is responsible for her own demise. Democracy is safer today.

Screenshot of headline:

THE TIMES VIEW
Barring Marine Le Pen from the presidential election will inflame tensions

At a stroke, the judges have displaced one of the most popular politicians in the country, a presidential favourite no less, and dismayed the 12 million voters who supported her. The apparent muzzling of an anti-establishment figure will feed into the culture of grievance that propels the hard right across the world.

I feel our withdraw is due to one simple thing. Trump's ego: -He can't be the boss of such an organization and so he won't be a part of it. -He can't stand people making him feel/look stupid (which he is) and there are A LOT of smart folks in the WHO so he just doesn't want to be a part.

How evil/moronic do you have to be, to think binning the Equality Act would raise productivity, restore confidence and create meritocratic workplaces? How TF could scrapping people’s rights to NOT be discriminated against, harassed or victimised at work be IN ANY WAY a good thing? It simply can’t.

Suella Braverman post:

Can you imagine if we got rid of all Diversity and Inclusion Officers/ Advisors/Champions/ Courses/Budgets etc from our Civil Service?!
And scrapped the Equality Act?
We'd save millions of pounds, increase productivity, restore public confidence and build a truly meritocratic workplace.

The thing is, I feel like if someone truly, accidentally, & unintentionally made a n*zi salute on a national stage, they would be appropriately horrified by it and apologize. And when they don’t ….. it says everything.

Glory for a moment in the fevered desperation of the Tory press to have someone do worse than their very own, very special, out-of-control firehose, Liz Truss, spraying them all forever with her mess. No. Not this time, you silly twats. The wait for a replacement goes on… (Private Eye)

HOW JOURNALISM
WORKS
First two weeks of January:
Yields on government bonds rise dramatically. Headlines include
"Reeves facing £6bn blow from rising gilt yields", "Reeves must cut taxes or risk driving the economy off a cliff' (both Telegraph); "Labour's borrowing costs surge 'worse than Liz Truss chaos'" (Mail); and "Reeves battles market sell-off as bond yields rise" (Times).

15 January: Gilt yields fall dramatically after better than expected economic news, erasing almost all increase of previous week.
Almost no headlines mention this in any of the above newspapers.
