A Cambridge professor is dead after facing extraordinary scrutiny over alleged PhD errors. The Times, Telegraph and Mail published 111 articles about Jason Arday. Edward Higgs asks what lay behind this campaign when other plagiarism cases attracted far less attention.

We need two Arday inquiries: 1) Into racist (and misogynistic) bullying by UK press and social media accounts (see also Diane Abbott); and 2) into the duty of care that HE has for its minority staff - a duty of care that in my repeated experience is reserved primarily for white male sex offenders.

'Stand Up to Racism, which organised the vigil, estimated that 30,000 mourners had gathered in the square to listen to emotional speeches from MPs, friends and campaigners on Arday’s life and legacy and join in a minute’s silence.'

NYC, high heat is back. Today the city will feel like nearly 100 degrees. This heat wave will not be as long or intense as the last one, but it can be dangerous without the right precautions. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and check on your neighbors — especially older adults and people without AC.

Hold the CEOs of corporations whose products induce suicide, commit crimes, or cause financial harm responsible for the actions of those products, including AI! I don't think the charges laid against CEOs for the crimes of their AIs should be civil only. They should face criminal charges.

Over 160 MPs - including 88 Labour MPs from all parts of the party - have now put their name to the call for a commission on changing the voting system. The momentum is growing every day. As one Labour MP put it: "You don't have to be Harry Kane to see what an open goal this is."

Is Labour about to scrap UK's 'first past the post' voting system?

Some 88 Labour MPs - more than a fifth of the party's presence in the House of Commons - have so far backed a bid to set up a body to investigate electoral reform.

Here's an interesting irony about Trump's claim of election rigging in 2020. When he won in 2016, Obama was in office. No rigging. And when he won in 2024, Biden was in office. No rigging. But when he lost in 2020, he was in office. So, did he rig the election against himself? Duh!

A reminder

As you hear the latest news of Tory greed and corruption from the Covid inquiry, don’t forget that we had THREE pandemic preparedness exercises, the biggest, exercise Cygnus, in 2016.

Findings showed the UK was scarily unprepared for a pandemic. The Tories didn’t just fail to act on the findings they refused to fully participate in the exercise including making life or death decisions.

Ultimately, they favoured ideological austerity over replenishing stockpiles. Four years later Covid hit and instead of acting fast they thought about how their donors and mates could profit as our NHS workers used fucking BIN BAGS while attending to patients.

To add insult to injury the fuckers partied and got coked off their tits in Westminster as millions died and suffered in isolation.

Never forget what those scumbags did.

Strangling Cuba until it collapses into chaos, or launching a cinematic special-ops mission to rendition a 94-year-old autocrat, isn’t a strategy. It’s a weapon of mass distraction from Epstein, ICE, inflation, Iran, the J6 terrorist immunization fund … The real move is magnanimity.
