Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

💥 97,500!💥 This Rejoin petition is so close to completion. Let’s tip it over the 100,000 mark to force the government to respond. Given the party in power now realises they need the pro-EU base - are they really going to refuse a debate in parliament on this? Let’s find out! Sign and share!

Petition: Apply to Rejoin the EU as soon as possible to increase growth in the UK
We believe Brexit's not working. The OBR judges that the UK economy is smaller and trade is weaker because of Brexit, and it will just get worse. 10 years after the Brexit vote, let's apply to rejoin ...

Iris Murdoch: Man is a creature who makes pictures of himself and comes to resemble the picture. Picturing people as good is wanting them to become so. It’s an ethical and political stance. It’s hope for a better world.

This couldn’t be clearer. Bannon’s texts to Epstein in mid July 2018 - “overthrowing May right now” and in “London with Boris” as well as his appearance on LBC with Nigel Farage are prettying damning evidence of a cross party plot with foreign backing

I never really thought much about the law before Brexit but since then, and now watching events in the US, the importance of the judiciary has become really evident. The bones have been laid bare. Hooray for clever laws protecting rights and democratic process!

Please help us. The situation here is horrific. It is a full scale war. The regime's forces show no mercy. They shoot protesters in the head and heart and even finish off those already wounded on the streets. In hospitals the wounded are being kidnapped and killed.

This viral video claims to show US flags being waved in Venezuela to celebrate the US seizure of Nicolas Maduro. While the video is recent and was posted by a TikTok user over the weekend, a simple geolocation shows that the gathering took place in Panama City, not Venezuela.

I'm very grateful to environmental scientist Sam Matey-Coste showing me these Our World In Data charts when we had a chat recently. (sammatey.substack.com/p/a-conversa...) Yes, so much is a worrying, enraging mess right now. But the bigger picture is a little more reassuring.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Have been thinking about “immigration has been tearing this country apart.” Surely I’m not the only person to think that it isn’t true, but inflamed rhetoric about immigration by politicians is what is tearing this country apart and so statements like that only makes it worse.
