In this week’s @guardian Blind Date, they’re in the middle of a silent disco, there’s nowhere to sit and dinner is a sandwich.

You see this, this is what happens in real life. The bots can't show up on the streets.
On the right there (yeah the far right) are the 6 nazis who turned up to cause mayhem.
Everyone else is there to stop them.
This is England.

Did you know? The co-discoverer of black holes – the Australian Louise Webster – has been forgotten. I’m giving away 5 signed copies of my new book, A CRACK IN EVERYTHING to a UK person chosen at random from those retweeting this amazon.co.uk/Crack-Everythin… @FelicityBryan @HoZ_Books

The efficiency of the combined LD/LAB vote shares is a real sight to behold. The Lib Dem share in seats Labour won seems to have rarely surpassed 10%, then as soon as the Labour share drops below ~30% the LD share explodes.

"Unlike American presidents, who must only contemplate the terrifying nuclear power they control, British prime ministers must actually decide—definitively—whether they would use that power."

Strongly disagree. This is FPTP at its *best*, allowing the electorate to mete out proper punishment and let another team have a proper go of it without having to bend to fringe parties that hardly anybody at all wants.

The media narrative could easily be: why hasn’t the hard-right made more progress in the last ten years? But it isn’t.

I'll never stop thinking about not just the art, discoveries, inventions, & progress men have stolen credit for but also how much has been kept from us because the majority of the population was kept out or dismissed.
Me shouting 'no, no, no' while watching this and laughing. Poor bear!

The bear shown as “Joey” is a standard spirit (kermode) bear, and wildlife experts would have identified him as such. He also would have been tagged when he was relocated. There are no articles about this story; the only sources are the TikTok itself and Reddit.

Chris Patten, the sort of intelligent, morally-driven Tory that was permanently ostracised under the Johnson clownshow, has committed another murder.
He’s so angry he even swears twice.
I could watch this all day.
Absolutely superb, as always. 👏
