Interested in stuff. Particularly interested in history, science, nutrition, fitness, AI, brain and behaviour. And Wimbledon. Like a good podcast, BBC R4 & World Service.
What can scientists learn? Is it that Musk's rockets are as accident-prone as his cars?
Mason is quite possibly the leading Farage fanboy at the Beeb but he's not the only one. The BBC report I saw following the Sunday Times scoop only referred to Posh George as a Farage ally, not as a convicted criminal.
Perhaps Farage did wargame the scenarios... with Lee Anderson and Sarah Pochin
Ah, interesting. So the anti-Farage will coalesce behind... @countbinface.bsky.social? It will never happen... Will it?
Telegraph: Miliband vetoed plan to use North Sea oil to find defence. Department for Energy Security: This story is pure nonsense. The Telegraph was repeatedly told these claims are categorically untrue, yet published it anyway.
I don't know the background to this story but it sounds extraordinary even by the standards of the Daily Mail. Couldn't screenshot the whole piece but thanks @louiseraw.bsky.social for highlighting it
Musk's fortune ascended rapidly followed by it all coming unstuck. Sounds familiar for some reason.
"Leaked Labour canvassing returns showed a fascinating change in voting intention in the streets where our letter (Carol Vorderman & Hope Not Hate) had been delivered: a 13-point increase in the number of women who had shifted to Labour."
Twice before The Farage party (whatever it is called at the time), has polled in the mid 20s, before sharply declining. I've not seen anything to convince me that the friend of the crypto billionaires can make it third time lucky.
Chris Mason will be all over this. Oh wait, it's Reform showing themselves up, not labour... forget I said anything.
Quelle suprise... Trump lawyers refuse to reveal financial information to BBC in $10bn lawsuit

While the war in Iran goes on Russia gets an economic boost, thanks in part to Trump lifting sanctions. This gives Russia an incentive to keep the war going, so it is in the US geopolitical interests to deter Russia. So why is the White House doing the opposite 🤔
Why did they only ask living presidents, Donald could asked Jesus to pass on a message
"Supreme leader Khameni is dead, long live Supreme leader Khameni" Trump actually got something right (except Khameni Jnr. is apparently even more extreme).
I wonder if Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson knows which party the Telegraph blames for the lack of gas storage capacity
and what if you don't actually deal with difficult people directly but they are in a position to make life VERY difficult?
Not sure how Laura Kuenssberg can portray Reform/Boris Johnson's support for US illegal military action as opposed to Starmer's refusal a 'faultline in politics' - it isn't an issue like say covid where a united response is either expected or desirable.
Reform wants ICE and US style border forces knowing what is going on in the UD
