Do the voters of Holborn & St Pancras not understand the courage it takes to stand up (and then sit down again) and say, with trembling voice: "I abstain"? www.newstatesman.com/politics/the...

Kemi Badenoch in her speech yesterday claimed "“we spend more on benefits than we do in income tax”. This isn't true for the current financial year, or indeed for any of the years forecast by the OBR. www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

Page 203 of Green Party's 2026 conference agenda describes the "forces aligned against our vision": "a global network" of collaborators in politics, business and the media, working on a "multi-decade strategy" to re-run the fascism of the 20th century.

Kemi Badenoch's claim here is bullshit. Either she doesn't understand the figure she's using, or she knows it's wrong, and is citing it anyway. Neither option looks great. Here's more detail on the claim: www.newstatesman.com/business/eco...

My family's claim to fame is that my uncle, who was a painter, did artwork for Iron Maiden. (Mostly stage sets I think; he also did sets for the Chippendales, and was told off for dancing along to their music during rehearsals.) Anyway, I think he would have liked this cover.

The cover of this week's New Statesman, showing a futuristic skull, looks a bit like a 1980s metal album cover.

Lobbyists for the water industry have just announced a new 'National Watershit Prize', which will award a whopping £15,000 to the best research into stopping sewage pollution. That's enough to pay the salary of Thames Water CEO Chris Weston for almost five days!

Obviously I'm the sucker for reading this drivel, but it was at least amusing to read that Jordan Peterson thinks money is destroyed if it's spent on wind turbines . We must save capitalism from... a smaller money supply? Wait a minute
