It's hard to see how the Green party's motion today will avoid an investigation by the EHRC, given Labour was previously found in breach.

What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving, how express and admirable in action, how like an angel in apprehension, how like a god!

A magistrate has been reprimanded for serious misconduct after publishing four posts on Facebook that were said to show he “held a prejudicial view of matters involving Jewish people and Israel”. It's the most serious disciplinary finding short of removal. rozenberg.substack.com/p/magistrate...

The bond yield story just keeps getting starker.
Line chart titled "10-Year Treasury Note" showing the yield on the 10-year Treasury note from late 2025 through September 2026. Treasury yields surged dramatically to 5.29 percent on September 29, 2026, the highest level in the period shown. This represents a sharp 130 basis point increase from the October 2025 low of 3.96 percent and a particularly rapid 45 basis point climb over just the final month. After trading mostly between 4.00 and 4.75 percent for nearly a year, yields broke decisively above 5.00 percent in September 2026, signaling a fundamental shift in borrowing costs and market conditions.

It will never not be wild to me that the Russians attacked Keir Starmer's home, successfully spread falsehoods about Starmer's love life, and this didn't changed British politics and British political elite behaviour *at all*.

This is the best squirrel photo I've ever taken, hands down. #SquirrelSaturday
A grey squirrel leaps across a grassy field while holding a round, vibrantly green fruit in her mouth. The squirrel is in profile, facing right,  with all of her paws off the ground and her bushy grey tail held out straight behind her. Although she is a grey squirrel, shades of reddish-brown run through her face and her body from the torso down. Her tail also sports patches of red-brown. She is surrounded by a field of saturated green.

What’s important here is that when Richard Burgon or Ellie Chowns push forward to break the lines, Carla Denyer anchors the midfield, especially if Zarah Sultana’s combining in wide areas with Sian Berry. Look out for John McDonnell as a false nine.

The cats graciously put on a magic show for us last night. I figured out how they did most of the tricks, but I didn’t say anything, because that would have been rude.
Two cats on a platformed tower. One is on the lower level, head hidden behind the middle section. The second is on the top tier with only their head showing.
