This is why Merseyside Police announced the ethnicity of the car driver. Opportunist racist rabble rouser TR seized on it as a ‘suspected terror attack’, stoking hatred and hoping for ‘revenge’. He must be gutted it was a white fella.

If you’re looking for a single chart that explains why Trump is so popular, this is it

More proof that “the economy” in the eyes of voters = more money in their pockets, NOT abstract macro-economic indicators

Lots of people saying yesterday wasn’t embarrassing for Liverpool because it’s just a minority of people and loads of them weren’t Scousers.

You’re missing the point. That’s never happened here. Last time the far-right came to Liverpool they didn’t make it out of Lime Street. 1/

I encountered a delightful little astrodynamics proof last week when an astronaut casually stated it as a fact, and when I looked skeptical, he just smiled and said, "Check it yourself."

@Samfr Is this saying that 45% of private school kids come from households in the top percentile of wealth, not that 45% of such households send their kids to private schools? So the area under the graph has to add up to 100%?

@RookieRedhead I haven’t read it yet but I also asked for this as a Christmas present 😅

Currently working my way through @ChessMood’s tactics course which has definitely improved my game already

A position with black to move for #chesspunks. How would you evaluate this position and what would you play, and why?

(I ask because I was surprised by the evaluation, and didn’t consider any of the five lines suggested by the engine, so I’m hoping to learn something here 😅)

Asked about the Conservative Party’s Tamworth candidate suggesting that unemployed parents struggling to feed their children should “fuck off”, Rishi Sunak’s spokesperson says the comments show that “unlike Labour we are a party that believes in work”.
