Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Minority representation on TV causes outrage

There has been widespread support for prominent Reform MP
Sarah Pochin after she complained about the over-representation of minorities on television.
Said one angry viewer, "She's right. Every time you turn on the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg."
She added, "I respect their way of life and their strange customs, but Reform MPs comprise only 0.7 percent of the House of Commons. Yet Nigel Farage is on Question Time more than Fiona Bruce."
"I'm not prejudiced. Some of my best friends are swivel-eyed loons, but enough is enough.
There are too many people with angry red faces on television.”

Rachel Reeves is right that the world has changed - so why won’t she change her strategy to reflect it? Rigid adherence to arbitrary fiscal rules & refusing wealth taxes is a political choice that’s causing huge pain & harm, as well as laying out the welcome mat for the populists at Reform UK

Despite the progress that's been made in the aviation sector to make it more sustainable, I’m simply not convinced that you can have hundreds of thousands of additional flights at Heathrow every year without a hugely damaging impact on our environment.

If we’d been shown this headline in 2016, we may have struggled to believe such a mess could be possible. But here we are, 8 years on, being asked to consider concessions on fish and opportunities for young people. And the inescapable crappiness and tedium of it all is.. well.. just so very sad.
The i front page:
 
EU tells Starmer: your Brexit reset is doomed without a better offer on fish and under-30s

» European diplomats warn Keir Starmer that he still needs to make major concessions to the
EU if he wants new deals on trade and security - with Brussels prepared to drive a hard bargain
»Leaked negotiating documents show that the EU is demanding a new fishing agreement as a precondition to the start of any talks, plus easier migration for under 30s between the two sides 
» Brussels wants to make the UK adopt the bloc's laws in exchange for getting a veterinary agreement which would boost British farming and food trade, a key plank of Starmer's strategy
» European diplomatic sources say most EU nations are happy with the status quo - and claim they are becoming exasperated by the UK making demands without offering concessions

“The government is recruiting a new Permanent Secretary to lead the UK’s relations with Europe. Does this mean we are serious about a reset?” Well my view is that it signals the capacity will be there- but it all comes down to how far Starmer will let them go. Youth Mobility Scheme… or we’re stuck.

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed. But he still needed a 45% pay rise. Like if he needs a pay cut. RP if you want the Monarchy gone. #AbolishTheMonarchy

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds
