I wonder if #RideACockHorse might gain, you know, more notice for Banbury?
Cherwell District Council is holding a Jobs and Support Fair in Banbury next Wednesday at Castle Quay, with information and guidance for all jobseekers, including personal development and apprenticeship opportunities, volunteering options and CV writing.

Shall I come back in, say, 20 years then to see how it is progressing?
'Neither of these really feel like democracy to me.'
That's because they are not democracy. Scrap the HoL and replace it with an elected chamber.
To be repeated regularly, a changing world order is not the same as a dumb but domestically powerful US President.
Side note: Media outlets that refused to cave to Pentagon press rules have been coming up with scoop after scoop from military sources. So much for Hegsethβs attempt to strangle journalism
I suspect the plan didn't have enough 'WHIZZ', BANG' and 'KABOOMS' in the text, so Hesketh just ignored it.
As a Brit, I always assumed that was Musk's main interest in DOGE, that it enabled him to get hold of data about Americans that he could then 'use' in the future.
Just imagine, you buy a Tesla, this is my name and email address, ah yes, Musk says, I now know everything about you....
JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.
Dem Bobbi Boudman has won todayβs special election, NHJournal reports.
(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)
This is Demsβ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.
Surely the war against Iran has achieved Trump's aims - to completely distract from the release (or the non-release) of the Epstein files?
Some leaders keep calm and carry on in a crisis, others shout or sneer incoherently from the sidelines.
Some of the most important threats to democracy do not make the biggest headlines - especially (and understandable) given the new war in Iran. This 4 min update looks at actions weakening the rule of law, reducing oversight, expanding executive power, and making voting harder.

This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?
Good evening from the country
that refuses to disappear. πΊπ¦
Trump doesnβt have the ability to dictate when the war is over.
So....the killing of civilians was deliberate?
FACTS:
Net Zero barely nudges your bill.
Fossilβfuel wars send it through the roof.
So when Farage and his ilk slags off renewables while fanning conflict, remember who actually hikes your costs.
'We can take them (Russia) at their word'
Is there a word for utterly deluded beyond belief (apart from 'Republican' and 'MAGA')?
GREAT NEWS!
A special task force of elderly bald men, smelling of chives and armed with small penises, has arrived to liberate Dubai from the Iranian onslaught!

Warren: "It is still the case that the Trump admin cannot explain the reasons we entered this war, the goals we're trying to accomplish. The only part that seems clear is that while there is no money for 15m Americans who lost their healthcare, there's a billion a day to spent on bombing Iran."
And, presumably, everyone in the military involved in destroying sites such as desalination plants should be subject to prosecution?
At 11.55 here Claude Moraes correctly points out that care workers/dependants are fiscally *positive* every year until about 2045.
In response, the Home Office official misstates the facts & clearly doesn't understand either the point or the actual data/analysis

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.
Heartbreaking. Like this too...
Not only a sad day for Oxford University, but also a sad day for this country, when we stop such talented people from coming here to study.
The bullshit excuses came thick and fastβ¦ while any attempt at charm quickly drained awayβ¦
More of this please, media. Heβs there to be had. Thereβs a mess of nasty inadequacy and failure lurking behind his oh-so-confident bluster.

A King has randomly fired arrows at a wall. A courtier, may be he is an opinion writer as well, draws targets around them.
Mad king washing.
Hostility against Muslims is on the rise we all have a duty to stand up against it. We are pleased to see that the new definition of anti-Muslim hostility, along with supporting guidance, does this while explicitly protecting speech that is critical of religious ideasπ§΅
