The Tory Bayeux Tapestry is very funny and a great skewering of most of the main characters, apart from Angela Rayner who looks absolutely iconic in every image

The ability to pour hundreds of millions of pounds into a loss-making TV channel, bent on wrenching British politics sharply to the right, is yet another of the ways in which extreme wealth is trying to remake UK democracy. It needs to be part of any serious conversation about political funding.

It takes a lot to make Jacob Rees-Mogg the voice of (relative) sanity (and not by a small margin in this case). But by gawd Tucker Carlson is up to the task. Dude's gonna be crazier than Ye ever was soon, and without the excuse of literal manic psychosis.

If GB News were a normal commercial venture, like Talk TV, it would have been binned long ago. Since September 2020, it has spewed out hateful far-right propaganda, paying high salaries to people such as Nigel Farage. Ofcom has abjectly failed to address this threat to democracy.

Chinese Govt owned Syngenta to cease operations at Grangemouth, 400 jobs at risk. Previously oil refinery closed. England-based British Steel rescued. What would govt do now? UK govts oppose state ownership but let foreign govts own infrastructure. Why? Any industrial strategy?

There's a new edition of THE HOBBIT & it's the one illustrated by Tove Jansson which has never been published in English before. (It was pub'd in Sweden where Astrid Lindgren picked her to do the illustrations!) Read more: tovejansson.com/hobbit-tolki... 📖 www.harpercollins.com/products/the...

Tove Jansson's cover for THE HOBBIT with a very Jansson-esque Bilbo holding a shield and axe with mountains behind, Smaug flying overhead, and the line of riding dwarves as tiny silhouettes behind.
