@jamesomalley.co.uk The 'democratic control' over social housing is almost certainly about housing associations. They have a huge chunk of housing stock - are completely unaccountable (because they are legally charities) and are effectively feral companies. Knocking on doors in London there's...

Kind of grimly fascinating as always, coming from the former director of strategy to a Labour PM. There just isn't a future for a centre-left politics that is this hostile to pretty basic progressive values.

Others will have their say about this, but I think it’s worth pointing out that this - or laundered versions of it - are accepted wisdom amongst a big chunk of our political and media classes and it is simply bad for society when the elites have little or no understanding of *the systems they run*

Very nice to hear a sane voice from Piddington. Serious respect to this woman, who is apparently already being othered by more bigoted villagers.

Thanks for sharing. When I went I found preserved bodies at the harbour very loving. The buildings are also very impressive, especially juxtaposed to the modern but crumbling town town

Guys, what's going on here?

The Labour Party government said “the right to peaceful protest is fundamental to our democracy, but we condemn the behavior in Dover and the travel disruption it has caused.”

“We appreciate the frustration of those who have been impacted today,” it said in a statement,

This is interesting. You get assigned to being born at a random place and time in history, to see what a typical person's life might have been like then. Unfortunately I was born in 1403 in the valley of Mexico and died at age 4 from dysentery.

New immigration stats show that the numbers of asylum seekers in hotels is down to 16k - falling 50% in a year. Small boat crossings down 23% in the year to June. Numbers waiting for initial decision down from almost 180k to 40k.

I feel seen as a mid forties man who occasionally goes to nightclubs. Although generally good ones.....

There is also sometimes good music and dancing with friends. Very dependent on the club

I agree, but that more Reform voters turned out than last time amidst the £5m scandal, lack of constituency work and against a bin says something. I'm sure the giant migrant boat and coverage of that helped turn out on the day.

TBF - he got more votes than in 2024 which is fairly impressive and says something about the core reform vote. It will be hard for other parties to win that back.

A simple point that surprisingly few people understand: "The longer we wait to reach net zero, the higher the eventual peak temperature will be, and the worse the associated damage. Warming is now nearly 1.4C above pre-industrial levels. Imagine summers when it gets closer to 2C."

Eunice Kennedy Shriver founded the Special Olympics in 1968. What she started as a backyard project grew into a global phenomenon. The first Special Olympics hosted 1,000 athletes in Chicago. Today, it supports millions of athletes across >170 countries She died #OTD in 2009. #SpecialOlympics

A charming photograph of Eunice Kennedy Shriver (1921–2009), the influential founder of the Special Olympics, embracing a smiling young athlete. Shriver stands behind the youth, wrapping her arms forward in a warm, supportive gesture. Her hands rest on the athlete's shoulder, and she holds a gold medal that hangs from a ribbon around the athlete's neck. Shriver has shoulder-length brown hair, and an open, joyous smile revealing her teeth. She wears a thick navy winter jacket with a plum collar showing. The athlete, also smiling broadly toward the camera, wears a brown and white knit beanie and a green hooded sweatshirt. In the blurry background, snowy outdoor slopes and a spectator in winter ski gear indicate a Special Olympics Winter Games setting. The composition emphasizes a strong emotional bond, projecting a triumphant and heartwarming mood that highlights Shriver’s lifelong legacy of fostering inclusion and celebrating athletic achievement for people with intellectual disabilities.

Is he telling the truth though? It should be fairly easy for him to verify some of his claims if they are true. Was he in seven up? What fundraising platforms did he use? The truth matters.

I worked with a Deliveroo rider who loved cycling and competed, he was penalised for not having an ebike or moped.

Jack Scriven @jackrs1.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

I don't blame the drivers though. It's the likes of Deliveroo and Just Eat and the grey area around legality that basically makes it easy for gig economy workers to pick up the fines for regulatory failure and corporate greed.

Sounds great, happy to take a look and provide feedback. I was inspired and had a play around taking a similar approach to Impact Economy Policy - with all the same caveats! Was thinking about how to test accuracy, run as a task to update and host off Claude, with verification being the trickiest
