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?

“He kept repeating that I was causing fear and alarm, people could be placed in a state of fear and alarm because I was reading out this poem about dead babies, dead children,” the activist went on.

“He said if you do that again, you'll be arrested. I said, well, hang about till 1.30 because it'll be getting read out again.”

VPNs aren’t just for privacy.

They’re essential cybersecurity tools that protect our personal data, help people to work or study remotely, and defend against cyber threats.

Restricting them makes everyone less safe – including children.

Tell the Government: Protect VPN use in the UK

Take action! Protect VPN use in the UK VPNs help people to stay private and safe online. Young people use them to avoid harassment, or protect location data. Companies use them to make sure remote log-in to their networks are secure.

^{Open Rights Group}

Today we’ve joined over 20 organisations to urge the UK Government to protect children online without making the internet less secure by restricting VPNs.

Child safety and security aren’t competing objectives – we need both.

Today, Green MP Hannah Spencer is to introduce a bill in parliament that would pave the way for a maximum workplace temperature in England.

Sorely needed. Go Hannah!

Green MP Hannah Spencer to introduce bill on maximum workplace temperatures

Byelection winner says heatwaves are causing ‘absolute chaos’ and workers need protection from unsafe conditions

"Farage called this election because he wanted control over the story. He wanted control over the narrative. Instead, he’s created four weeks in which every camera in the country will be pointed at the money, at the donors, at the excuses, and most importantly, the man in the bin standing beside him"

Faragian Farce Day 5: Winning Isn’t Enough Anymore

Why Nigel Farage may still win Clacton, but lose the only contest that really matters.

^{The Bear (Bearly Politics)}

Instead of pantomime by-elections and using ‘the establishment is against me” bullshit excuse, why doesn’t farage just show the evidence that proves him innocent of wrong doing. Surely that’s easier

Andrew Marr: " The Commons rules are very clear and they forbid face coverings "

Count Binface: "Well the Commons rules are very clear about what you can do with donations , but that seems to have got all murky so why can't I see how the line can get tested? "

The Clacton and Frinton Gazette, whilst I was typing that post, clocked what @dan pointed out last night about William Hill's odds. It hasn't clocked though that those odds have *already* shifted, since yesterday evening.

And there's an undertone the journalists have not caught of what the people with *large* amounts of money might soon be thinking of doing if the odds shift even more.

Count Binface currently 5/1 to beat Nigel Farage in Clacton

The Clacton by-election has effectively become a two-horse race after the major parties stood aside leaving Nigel Farage against Count Binface.

^{Matthew Benton-Smith (Clacton and Frinton Gazette)}

Interestingly, if the denizens of #ClactonOnSea are staunchly in favour of #ReformUKLtd and #NigelFarage, this is not reflected by the Clacton and Frinton Gazette (part of Newsquest).

Let's start with this profile of #CountBinface, which makes some insightful observations (that Jon Craig of Sky News could have done with knowing in Makerfield):

Yes, it's Silly Season. But the MEN likewise gave Binface a profile, previously.

How Count Binface plans to Makerfield Great Again

The intergalactic space warrior and leader of the Recyclons has contested more elections than most people have had bin lid breakfasts. He took time out from conquering galactic empires to speak to Beth Abbit about his intentions in Makerfield.

^{Beth Abbit (Manchester Evening News)}

It looks like U.K. Reform leader Nigel Farage will face some serious political competition in the Clacton by-election prompted by his own resignation from parliament. While Labour, the Liberal Democrats, the Conservatives, the Green Party and Restore will not be participating, Count Binface has announced his candidacy. Cosmopolitan explains who he is, and his manifesto (past pledges have included linking ministers' pay to nurses' salaries).

Prof May, those of us on this side of the pond can just replace "UK" with "US," and every word in your post remains accurate.
It's as if, left to their own devices, the morbidly wealthy will behave the same wherever they're found.

U.K. Reform Party leader Nigel Farage is once again under scrutiny for his finances. The News Agents ask how long his "man of the people" act can go on, with his five homes, £5 million gift from a crypto billionaire, and £270,000 payment for advertising gold bars. "He's raking it in from gold bullion, whilst he's also talking about getting rid of workers' rights, getting rid of the minimum wage, getting rid of the protection for people in their employment," says Emily Maitlis.

Will Nigel Farage’s finances end his ambition of becoming PM?

Nigel Farage’s finances are once again under scrutiny, after his earnings were revealed for work outside of politics, and that he had only declared two of five homes to Parliament. How much longer can he play the role of a man of the people?

Right-wing governments across Europe and North-America are showing their true faces if they label peaceful protesters as terrorists and fascist rioters as concerned citizens or derailed football hooligans. Those who side with fascists, are fascists!

"One pound in every £11 of UK government spending on contractors went to private equity-controlled companies last year, research shows, including key services such as transport, waste management and healthcare"

Nationalisation would rid key public services of these ghouls. It would also be of interest to track their political donations.

‘Financial pandemic’: £1 in every £11 spent on UK public contractors goes to private equity

Almost £24.4bn of government money went to private equity-run firms in year to April 2025, Guardian analysis shows

Social media bans don't work. They just make things worse.

In Australia, for those teens who haven't bypassed the restrictions, their access to news has been curtailed.

How does this square with giving votes to 16 year olds in the UK? Children have rights to free expression too.

ORG's @JamesBaker explains.
