What is going on at the Times?
They have a main headline attacking net zero over a photo of the French wildfires arguably caused by climate change?
Are the editors stupid?
Do they think their readers are?
Are they trying to subvert their own message?

As always, a new Govt. (or administration) in the UK, will be bombarded by lobbyists from the financial services industry making two key claims:
1. that finance is key to the UK's economic success; and
2. the yoke of regulation needs to be lifted so they can increase that contribution...
But, new administrations should recall, financial services have been at the heart of our industrial strategy & its clearly not working; and
deregulation has crashed the economy before!

RE: seattle.pink/@mxchara/11697246…
I'd like to take this specific matter up again, the Dick #Nixon problem. The U.S. public has been invited to be far more forgiving and charitable towards Richard Nixon than he deserves. This was a policy right from the start; the GOP scheme to insure Nixon's pardon has been considered a sound resolution to the whole affair and that is clearly wrong.
An unholy fixation on executive clemency as a political weapon has invaded U.S. #politics thanks to the Nixon pardon. This has a moral dimension: according to the moral standards of Christofascism, a Trump pardon is exactly equivalent to a plenary indulgence.

America is no longer the indispensable nation.
The post war order was predicated on a stable United States. Trump’s chaotic #politics has destroyed the post war order. New alliances are being formed by former allies and a decoupling of dependence on American institutions is grinding forward. It will be expensive, but the alternative is eternal instability

Its hard to claim the UK's anti-terrorism policies are working when the vast majority of those arrested for terrorism-related offences are peaceful protestors protesting on behalf of Palestine Action.
Whatever one might think about the police's anti-terrorism work, its hard to argue this is a good use of time & effort if the aim is to reduce the risk of violent terror attacks in the UK.
Its a waste of money & police time, before we even start on its threat to democracy!
Its a classic case of false economies:
the engineered crisis in the NHS (which has both boosted private health care, there's a surprise, *and* widened health inequalities) is actually a key element in holding back the UK's economic potential.
Not only are there good humanistic arguments for sorting out the crisis in the health services, there is also a good national 'business case'; resolving the NHS's crisis is both pro-business *and* pro-worker!

Working for the Nazis is a tough job in 2026.Oh the struggle, the struggle.
like is anybody surprised here? The ICE murderer has a history of
" serious mental health issues since early childhood and never should have been given a badge and gun to patrol American streets, several of his close relatives told The Associated Press.
David Brouillette has a history of terrifying and violent behavior, according to those relatives. They accuse him of attacking women in his life over the years, and one shared a voicemail with the AP from last winter in which he told her that he thought someone should slit her throat.."
ICE has literally become the American Wagner. I would not be the least bit surprised if they started offering deferred prosecution or recruit prison inmates to get the EXACT kind of agent they want

Under Trump, the United States has made it clear that dependence on US tech can and will be weaponized.
In part, that's a new development — at least for some parts of the world. But ensuring the power of the US was sustained by getting other parts of the world to adopt its tech was always part of the plan.
