Thank you @katie0martin.ft.com and @robarmstrong.bsky.social I made the mistake of listening to the end of the most recent Unhedged podcast and now “charts on the radio” is singing in my ears for the rest of the day.

Reform really don’t like scrutiny. All the more reason to closely monitor what they’re up to.

Cars have killed somewhere in the region of 80 million people since invention, but somehow people still manage to get more annoyed with cyclists.

So apparently another internet company can tell your provider that you’re leaving when you’re not. And when you phone your provider and they stop this, the first company can overwrite this and get you cut off anyway. And then you’re on hold endlessly and waiting for your internet to be restored.

Never before has a politician announced their intention to run for re-election on an explicitly pro-sleaze, anti-transparency ticket. Never before has a politician gloried in having enriched themselves by breaking the rules, and then demanded a mandate to continue doing so indefinitely

Nigel Farage’s 'Pro-Sleaze' By-Election Is A Sign Of Terminal Weakness
The Reform leader's desperate decision to call a back-me-or-sack-me by-election is a sign of a politician who knows he is finally being exposed for the man he really is, argues Adam Bienkov

This is an absolute scandal. Student loans should be replaced by something far closer to what was believed to be sold, with reductions in the loan based on a fair view of the repayments made.

Disagree with lots of this, including the central argument, but it's very thoughtful. The best single idea in it is this: "Any platform that uses an algorithm more complex than ‘people you follow in chronological order’ to be treated as a publisher, and held to account for content."

The right are so obsessed with the idea that leftist agitiators on are secretly being paid is simply because their movement is being secretly financed. They also can't imagine why you would take a position that you weren't being paid to take, since they have no actual principles beyond self-interest

Yes @helenrumbelow.bsky.social, that’s the point. If you want to drive fast and risk death (ideally your own, not pedestrians’) then go to a track day. 20 zones are there because drivers continue to ignore the impact of their selfish behaviour on others. Maybe switch to cycling for a while, Helen.

Now this does seem steep for building a bike path. But the reporting is hilarious. Stress from a 10 minute driving detour. Counting to 11 on one hand. It is, of course, not being funded by the council despite the misleading headline.
A telegraph headline stating “Labour council spends £3.8m on 197m bike lane”.
The picture shows a group of people standing by the Road Closed sign.
“Neighbours said they were suffering from health problems because of the stress caused by the project, which has forced motorists to take a 10-minute diversion after a main road was closed to traffic for the works. It is scheduled to remain shut until April next year.”

I guess if I ran the transport for one of the few EU countries without a rail link to the airport from the capital; without decent cycle or walking infrastructure, in a car clogged pollution nightmare, this is the kind of badly researched ill-informed nonsense I’d be expected to produce.

Telegraph - Girls targeted in mixed changing rooms
FOI police request shows women also at risk of sexual assault and mobile phone voyeurism at pools
The Daily Telegraph10 Dec 2025By Daniel Martin DEPUTY POLITICAL EDITOR
Women and girls are being sexually assaulted in mixed changing rooms across the country. Police data show at least 16 rapes, 80 sexual assaults and 65 acts of voyeurism were committed in sports centres in 2023, equating to three offences a week. Many of the offences were in mixed-sex changing areas, according to a report by the Women’s Rights Network. Campaigners warned that mixed-sex changing areas were a “magnet for sexual predators”.
