This is one of the best pieces I've read on addiction. As someone who was addicted to hard drugs for a decade, I'm always surprised that no one talks about the emptiness and that quitting leaves you with, especially in the beginning. Glad to know it's not just me.

Once again - this is not what millions of us voted for. We wanted better and those most in need NEEDED better and if labour don't understand how bad all of this looks then they're in deep and dire straits

Benefit cuts with a red rosette are in many ways no different than those stained in blue. Joints still throb when the heating has to be switched off in winter. Stomachs still pang with hunger when there is only a biscuit for tea. And yet cuts signed off by a Labour Chancellor are in a sense particularly brutal. They come with a tinge, not just of fear, but despair and betrayal. The feeling that if this is life under the “good guys”, there really is no hope that anything will get better. Politicians, it turns out, really are all the same. That is the sort of loss that can’t be measured by a Treasury spreadsheet. It is also one that - once lost - is deeply hard to get back.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

A quick look on the racism site shows that Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick is apparently outraged at the delays in the criminal justice system. Y’know, the ones caused by the policies that he consistently supported. The ones that he was absolutely fine with when he was in government.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

It really is difficult to fully comprehend the shamelessness of MPs who did nothing on an issue for 14 long years when their party was in government only to express moral outrage on that same issue months into a new government. These people are everything that’s wrong with our politics.

Today is an object lesson in the radicalisation of the British right-wing press. Britain is being disparaged and insulted by a foreign far-right conspiracy theorist. But the Mail, the Express, the Telegraph and even the Times choose focus their criticisism on the British prime minister instead.
