I watched Boris Johnson hide in a fridge - but the real story is much worse
Speaking on The Division Bell podcast, hosts John Stevens and Sam Lister explained how things got even worse after the TV cameras stopped rolling on the Tory battle bus tour

Sunday Taquitos #30: Flock This! Art by @ivan-ehlers.bsky.social
A cartoon of two people standing under a flock camera speaking to each other. The man says “I’m fine with mass surveillance ‘cause I’m not doing anything wrong.” The woman responds “… Until someone changes the definition of what’s ‘wrong.’”

They way things are at the moment that probably means they just haven't got around to stealing them yet. I hate AI and its developers and advocates with a passion.

This point needs to be made over and again: The main purpose of wealth taxes should not be to raise revenue. That's a small and secondary benefit. The main purpose should be to *reduce the fortunes of the ultrarich*. Why? Because those fortunes present a massive threat to democracy and public life.

Defra breached law, with Tory govt was in office, when it let farmers use bee-killing pesticide, watchdog says. This is one outcome of capture of the state by corporations, and secrecy. Govts pursue economic growth, not resilience, at almost any cost.

Starmer should do that thing you sometimes see in American committee hearings and have someone hold up a huge infographic of the Conservative's policies and actions when they were in government.

Seems to be a lot of selective memory in UK's right-wing newspapers about schools not closing during the 1976 heatwave. I just checked and, yes, many schools did close early as well as allow parents to "keep their children at home if they wish". This clipping from London Evening News, 29 June 1976

BREAKING: I've secured a parliamentary debate next week on banning all MPs' second jobs. Farage has pocketed over £1 MILLION from outside "work" since the General Election. Being an MP is a full-time job. No MP should be out chasing lucrative second jobs. Let's end this racket!

I have never experienced a publication fighting THIS hard against reality. The sneering, patronising bullshit that they choose to publish should embarrass them - the problem being, after so many years of sliding down into tabloid status, they have zero shame left. None.
