Suella Braverman was made the 'skills spokesperson' by an idiot who holds a geography A level

Suelle is so inept she was twice ousted as Home Secretary - once by Liz Truss of all people, for leaking sensitive documents and once by Rishi Sunak for going to war with the police.

Unskilled, may be a better epithet

🙄

First they came for the intellectuals https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/02/18/first-they-came-for-the-intellectuals/ Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain party is promising to sweep 'Anti-British", "anti-white" elements out of our universities and schools. Doing so, he is copying the Nazi playbook of 1933. If you're not worried now, you should be.

Outlook goes out of its way to give me daily reminders of how awful it is

VERY important: do NOT give Discord this information. DO NOT. It goes to multiple third-parties, who link it to a lot of sensitive personal information, and more than one of has already leaked people's PII. They also have lied multiple times about selfie verification not leaving your computer and deleting images of sensitive IDs.

Just so its clear: data centres are not "critical infrastructure".

They are Mystery Factories that can perform computation for any digital output: from crypto scams, to hospital databases, to on-demand child abuse material, reams of unstoppable generated slop content, telemetry for helicopters.....shoving that all under one single, broad and politically-charged label opens the door to wasteful, harmful and environmentally harmful behaviour.

Dear Vladimir, please send one million Russians to dilute Palestinian presence. Yours, Ehud

Fmr PM Barak also "disparaged Jews who arrived from Arab & Muslim countries after the creation of Israel in 1948, saying Israel can now be 'selective'."

"Israel’s Ashkenazi leadership has a long history of looking down on Jews from the Arab & Muslim world, often treating them as inferior."

Ooh oooh, it's New Model Day! New Model Day everybody! Drop what you're doing and start writing your "it's a total game-changer" posts!

As the bodies of two dozen Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes arrived at hospitals in Gaza on Wednesday, the director of one asked a question that has echoed across the war-ravaged territory for months.

“Where is the ceasefire? Where are the mediators?” Shifa Hospital’s Mohamed Abu Selmiya wrote on Facebook.

At least 556 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes since a U.S.-brokered truce came into effect in October.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

ICE needs to be abolished, yes, and ideally its agents should be punished, but I haven't seen anyone bring up something even more important, which is the reparation of the harm done, with an emphasis on family reunification
