Oh look, another award for London. Someone might want to pass this on to Reform’s mayoral candidate, Laila Cunningham. Perhaps she could dial back the relentless shitting on the city I live in by, say, 5%.

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."

It does raise this point of two-tiered
justice..

Reform's Sarah Pochin believes the
sentence handed to the 64-year-old who
blew up a ULEZ camera was
disproportionate'.

Biden deserves to be called Sleepy Joe. For not being alert to the danger of letting a corrupt, criminal, rapist, insurrectionist run for President: a man determined to overthrow the Constitution of the United States. And not having Trump tried and imprisoned when he had the chance.

Remembering Wallace Stevens on his birthday 🎂 📷 Walter Sanders for Life Magazine, 1950 The caption read: "Poet and Vice President of Hartford Accident & Indemnity Co., Wallace Stevens." "The imperfect is our paradise."

Stevens walks out from between the columns of his impressive insurance company building, hands behind his back. He turns to the camera & smiles.

I have had a very productive morning using ChatGPT. Outline the problem. ChatGPT confidently gives me the solution. I point out why it doesn't work. ChatGPT adapts its solution. It still doesn't work. Chat adapts again, and I learn about a new (to me) R package. This is useful.

History is written by the victors. Thatcher broke the power of trade unions by mass unemployment, industrial restructuring, frittered away N Sea Oil, laid the foundations for the current housing crisis, decimated local bus services, hollowed out local government and introduced the poll tax.

Simon Clarke

Andy Burnham seems to remember a different 1970s to the rest of us. Britain in 1979 was utterly broken - ravaged by unaccountable trade union power, economically stagnant, the sick man of Europe.
The 1980s saw a remarkable national recovery based on free enterprise, the rule of law and championing Western values. And it is this that our Prime Minister rails against...

"BRITAIN BECOMES DUMP FOR THE NAXI EXILES. Scores of Jews and other exiles are being smuggled into England in small foreign ships, for £25 a time." Daily Mirror, 1938. Sound familiar?

Headline: Britain becomes dump for the Nazi exiles

SCORES of Jews and other exiles, abandoning their homes in the Nazi terror, are being smuggled into England by the captains of small foreign ships who slink inside the three-mile limit at night and put ashore their human cargoes for £25 a time.
This smuggling, once sporadic, is now a racket earning thousands of pounds weekly for captains of French, Dutch and Belgian trawlers.
It was exposed entirely at Hove, yesterday when two foreign seamen were gaoled for smuggling a German in at Shoreham harbour last Monday.
Britain's immigration officers are helpless. They know that Hitler is dumping his unwanted people here. They cannot stop other Mid-European Governments seizing on Britain's lethargy to lower their own unemployment figures.
Every day refugee Spaniards, Jews, Ger mans and Austrians are slipping into Britain Employment agencies are inundated by fran-tic appeals from foreigners who, scared by European unrest, want British security.

The Trump economic miracle. Govern the country enirely for your own interest. Huge tax cuts to billionaires. A thoughtless, pointless but crushingly expensive war. And borrowing costs surge to highest in 25 years.

I sincerely hope Andy Burnham doesn't misunderstand the problems facing the GB electricity grid in the same dreadful way that #r4Today does. The problem isn't simply connecting to the grid, and the problem isn't efficiency. Connecting to the grid in one location affects the entire grid.
