‘The Kushayb trial demonstrates that the ICC is scrupulous and just. The question is whether the governments that are members of the court, such as the UK and all European Union states, will rally to support it.’ Alex de Waal on the ICC’s Darfur judgment, from the blog www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/oc...

Neoclassical economics is built on myths — and none is more absurd than the idea of homo economicus: the perfectly rational, fully informed, self-interested human who supposedly drives all economic decision-making. youtu.be/jvn2yzT0C6Y?...

"My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right," Often misquoted this is how I feel about @snp.org and why I have chosen to stand for party President. If elected I will set it right.

🟥 Media watch: Is the BBC misleading Scotland over its spending? 📺 Scots pay almost £300 million a year to the BBC through the licence fee - that is more than the arts and culture budget of the Scottish government.

In the name of all that is holy what is wrong with Labour in England? I thought they couldn't surprise me but this is the most batshit idiocy I've ever heard. I'm not sure if they are malicious or just incompetent but I'm not sure it matters at this point.

Labour could and should be doing much more. But the UK’s deep economic malaise can’t be fixed in a period of months Short-termism is a huge problem that results in quick-fixes and silly decisions that will make things even worse (i.e more cuts)

Something I’ve not seen covered is the fact that the recipient of this gas has been Eustream, largest importer of Russian gas into the EU, which is owned by Daniel Kretinsky. If that name sounds familiar it’s because he’s just bought Royal Mail.

An important lesson when designing an organisation. In particular Companies Limited by Shares are limited by the legal system that defines them and all have the same faults and vulnerabilities. They are locusts and we should not be surprised when they consume everything in their path.

Waste! The debate (like much of the mainstream economic commentary) will miss one crucial aspect. Every pound spent by the central government is matched in the non-government sector $ for $ in the US and £ for £ in the UK. Not all waste is equal. A short economic thread 1/5

Is locational electricity pricing the answer to inequality in the UK, offsetting nimbyism (cheap electricity for areas near energy sources), encouraging industry to locate to these areas and reducing the problem below? All at no cost to the State, just reform of elec market.
