Dear government, don’t send startling, high-pitched alerts about wildfires to ordinary people's phones. Send them to the CEOs of fossil fuel companies and make them impossible to switch off until they stop the destructive plunder that's contributing to climate change.

Jason Arday might have lied about the amount he was paid to write a book. Michael Gove literally bragged the £10bn stolen during the Covid PPE scam was an 'honest mistake'. One was instantly forgotten about, the other was hounded to his death.

What an awful individual Helen Whately is. People don't have ADHD/anxiety, the Saudis human rights record is fine, she threw NHS patients during COVID into care homes and has conflict of interest re hubby's biomass business. Stayt made short work of her this morning on BBC news. Off to Reform soon??

Absolutely crucial piece of research on misinformation in local news on Facebook, X and Nextdoor by @smfthinktank.bsky.social Full report is here (www.smf.co.uk/publications...) but these are some key findings:

2 in 5 local Facebook groups and over four-fifths of X searches featured at least one piece of misinformation in their last 1,000 posts. Of 19 Nextdoor locations studied, 3 were found to contain misinformation.
Nearly 1 in 26 (4%) of news related posts on Facebook were misinformation; on X the ratio is over 1 in 4 (28%)
Places in local authorities with no or limited local news outlets (e.g. ‘news deserts’) had nearly 3 times as much fake news as a share of all posts as average on Facebook groups, albeit based upon 12 groups worth of data.
Conversely, places with a relatively high number of local news outlets (‘news oases’) have half as much misinformation as average, again based upon a limited sample (13 groups).
Places with local elections, on average, saw more misinformation in the run up to polling day than they did earlier in the year. Misinformation as a share of all posts increased from 0.12% to 0.15% (26% increase) and as a share of news grew from 8.2% to 12.9% (56%).
The rate of misinformation seen across four Gorton and Denton local Facebook groups was 26 times higher than in the wider Facebook analysis – 3% of 1,000 posts were identified as fake news, compared to 0.1% nationally. This is driven by far more news related posts on these groups, and a near doubling of the share of them being classified as misinformation.
Three in five misinformation posts (61%) in places with local elections in the week of the vote related to national politics or council issues, compared to 28% in the wider national analysis earlier in the year.
1 in 5 ‘fake news’ (19%) posts analysed on Facebook groups related to local issues, including planning, transport, local services and council politics. Our case studies revealed how planning applications could be misinterpreted into the “council selling off the beach”, or how local authority communications can be faked.
A third (32%) of misinformation found on X was anti-immigration or Islamophobic, far ahead of the next most common, h…

The Two Body Problem
Keir Starmer does not understand what being Prime Minister means. Also: ray cats, atomic priests and nuclear semiotics; and the difficulties of defining a city.
Jonn Elledge
Apr 22, 2026
∙ Paid

In the 16th century, faced with the inherent contradictions of building a durable legal and political order around people who had a frankly inconvenient habit of dying, some clever lawyers came up with the nifty idea: the “king’s two bodies”. There was the body natural, the bit of the sovereign that could and would sicken and expire. But there was also the body politic, a legal personification of the bits of royal power that needed to endure for the state to properly function. A monarch is made of more than just a human being.

I have neither the philosophy nor the theology to be anything other than hazy on all this, but Keir Starmer, I am coming to suspect, is significantly hazier still: that it’s simply not occurred to him that Keir Starmer the Prime Minister is more than just the sum of the actions of Keir Starmer the man. We expect the head of a government – a party, a business, a team – to be more than themselves, but a representative of the body they run, the power they can exert, the things that are done in their name. Witness the way we attribute actions taken by people whose names we may never know to “the department” or “the palace”. Donald Trump probably doesn’t know or grasp many of the things being done by the “Trump administration”. No one in their right mind thinks that should get him off the hook.

Keir Starmer’s actions this week suggest that he might think it should. Olly Robbins, until late last week head civil servant in Britain’s foreign office and the latest designated can carrier, said Peter Mandelson’s ambassadorship was approved in spite of his failed vetting under pressure from “Downing Street”. Starmer has said,

I think we’re at the stage where we need two separate governments. One will be there to deal exclusively with allegations relating to Peter Mandelson. This will be the main British government. And then there’s a secondary administration that does all those little things like running the country.
