On National Poetry Day, here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.

The Power of Poetry

with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,

it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,

so he reached for his copy
of The Complete Works of Yeats

and bludgeoned the President
of the United States

Kemi Badenoch condemned Reform's ban on critical journalists covering their conference as "authoritarian", saying her own party would never do the same as "we believe in free speech. We believe in a free press." Now the Conservatives have banned Byline Times from their conference

Kemi Badenoch's Conservatives Ban Byline Times From Conference After Condemning Reform for Journalist Ban

The ban comes just weeks after the Conservative leader called Reform's barring of critical journalists from their conference an "authoritarian" attack on the free press

#r4today Ed Davey sounding a bit churlish and peeved that Andy #Burnham has put a rocket up sorting social care It would be a better look fir Ed to drop the ego and get on board, this policy is for everyone, now and in the future

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

Listening to #Burnham vs Nick Robinson on #R4today yesterday He has a knack of answering calmly and reasonably despite being asked deliberately ridiculous questions. Like an caring uncle answering a toddler about why unicorns can’t fly #Labour

#Burnham ‘flooded the zone’ with big policy and taboo topics. Maybe a strategy so some get less monstering than if he trickled them out cautiously? #lbc @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Is Jenrick just idiot-grifting because he knows it's all he has to offer or has he genuinely had a full Liz Truss style breakdown and lost all sight of reason?

peeped at GBNews (so you don’t have to) to see #Burnham response Jenrick is on scaring pensioners with exaggerated and disingenuous claims, barking about ‘death taxes’ So business as usual, making money by talking down the country,scaring and dividing people And the sound quality is awful #Labour

That #Burnham speech is going to take a lot of disingenuous mangling from the sharp right corners of ‘journalism’ Taking back control of the basics people need-like housing and water? Down with that sort of thing..Won’t someone think of the billionaires? 🧐 #Labour #bbcnews #skynews #C4News #lbc

#kuenssberg I can go weeks without thinking about the word ‘snide’ but the minute i accidentally turn on Kuenssberg it’s like it’s written across the screen… #Burnham was her kryptonite, just answering her as though she’d said something sensible, she was really off kilter by the end if it

I'm seriously liking what Andy Burnham has been saying in his interview with Kuenssberg. Regardless of the ridiculous number of times that she tried to butt in with snidy comments, instead of allowing him to answer the questions properly.

Absolutely fascinating to see Laura Kuenssberg interviewing Burnham, flailing to adjust her stance to a politician with a moral argument and a positive message, who stands up for his policies and answers her questions clearly. She is getting so agitated at him not playing the game by the 'rules'.

Dolly Parton used her gift for music to highlight the challenges of poverty, inequality, and struggle in ways that uplifted and inspired working people. “And I told 'em all the story / Momma told me while she sewed / And how my coat of many colors / Was worth more than all their clothes”

Today is Venn Day, in celebration of the mathematician John Venn, born on this day in 1834. To commemorate the occasion, here’s a poem in the form of a Venn Diagram.

Poem title: At the Intersection

The poem is divided into two overlapping circles.

The left-hand circle is titled ‘me’ and the text reads:
the day we
went out to have
an ice-cream, we said nothing
just let our silence melt in
the air as we walked across the common
our love never tiring at all

The right-hand circle is titled ‘you’ and the text reads:
we should
have talked it over but
nothing ever seems to get
in your fat head. You are so
common that I wish we’d never met
at all and I’d married Tim instead

In the intersection of the poem (where the two circles overlap), the text reads:
we
have
nothing
in
common
at all

#bbcaq Difficult to decide whether Andrew Rosindell MP is displaying wilful ignorance or just plain stupidity He claims the equality act isn’t necessary because Britain has always been a fair country where everyone can realise their potential… Audience laughs loudly
