Pope Innocent III,who died in 1216, spoke of a certain kind of older man, who is "easily provoked", "will believe anything and question nothing", is "stingy and greedy" and "praises the good old days and hates the present." Reform UK's voter base has been knocking around for a very long time.

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

The offshore wind installation vessel Wind Ally entering the Tees yesterday. Wind is currently producing nearly half GB's electricity needs. Much of the remainder is solar or low-carbon imports, with gas accounting for only 6.8%. Only idiots want to increase our reliance on fossil fuels.

Each of these incidents is being framed as a success — a terrifying success that you must believe in and fear— rather than what it is as a criminal failure of ethics and institutional control.

Tom Watson’s move to Palantir is the latest sign of how far the rot has spread in UK politics. Like Blair, Cameron, Clegg, Mandelson, hired to open govt networks to companies and corporate capture of the state. They sell political capital built with public money. What do we get in return?

Not just managers but other staff you have no choice about working with but you don’t have any influence on their behaviour. This has happened to me on several occasions. Eventually you give up and leave. And they are still there making others’ lives difficult www.theguardian.com/money/2026/s...

The Scottish Parliament backed our motion to boycott, divest from, and sanction Israel. Yet, there are still companies with links to Israeli war crimes in Palestine getting taxpayer contracts in Scotland. It's time to fully implement the boycott and cancel these contracts.

Worth noting — as most coverage omits it — that Peggie called Dr. Upton "a freak", "a weirdo" and "it". Peggie said she would like to post bacon to a mosque. Peggie reacted to news of deaths in flooding in Pakistan by saying "What goes around comes around, they've been flooding Britain for years."
