Voters were wrong to support Trump. People will tell you this isn't a helpful thing to say. But our role right now isn't to be helpful. It is to be truthful https://t.co/NLsBY2u1m8

Trump winning is the fault of America. It's time to own up to who our fellow citizens are

Bezos saw it coming & did what he needed to do. Who knows what comes next but this now is oligarchy. It’s the cojoining of state power & business interests. It’s 90s Russia. It’s the chaos before the crackdown. It’s Musk & Thiel & every cryptobro chancer in Silicon Valley

Harry Kane leads tributes to legendary producer Quincy Jones following his death, aged 91.

“Yeah obviously for more than six decades, Jones was both midwife and godfather to cultural revolutions, yet he wore that influence with disarming nonchalance,” Kane told reporters

In the 1930s, Lord Berners and Violet Trefuiss announced their engagement.

He was gay; she was a lesbian.

It was a conspiracy to get engagement presents.

Berners later announced the engagement was off, issuing this message:
'Lord Berners has left Lesbos for the Isle of Man'.

Whether you’re a fan of Hallowe’en or not, you have to give it credit for being the last line of defence against Christmas advancing even earlier into the year, a ragtag gang of goths holding the line against a battalion of baubled barbarians

In the last week, Labour hit a crucial milestone on getting rid of hereditary peers, unlocked £1bn funding for social housing insulation, initiated plans to regulate buy-now-pay-later lenders and started to coalesce around an HS2 replacement. Barely any chat about this at all.

By all means question whether this is a sensible use of prison. It is consistent with expected sentencing practice- so definitely not “two tier justice” - but there will be principled arguments against custody.

“Racist violence is good actually” may not be one of them.

Irish children shot dead under General Mike Jackson and his brave British state forces.

I cannot believe this is a real-life case that genuinely happened, but it’s in my media law textbook so 🤷🏻‍♀️
