“Consider that less than 10 percent of the US’s 90 million corn acres directly feed its people. After subtracting exports, the remaining 70 million acres or so are split about evenly between animal feed and ethanol for blending with gasoline.” phenomenalworld.org/analysis/the-i…

LDs beat Tories in number of councillor seats

You wouldn’t know this from the copium being pumped out by the Tory press

Mars on the left, Earth on the right.

Was a big pleasure speaking to Sydney Nash about the future of the UK's relationship with Europe.

Worth pondering how flawed assumptions pitched by figures like Goodwin and Cummings that mistakenly conflated fleeting generational dynamics with a permanent realignment have stoked delusional thinking on the Right that is bringing about Tory collapse

Labour’s lead over the Conservatives needs to be in the teens for a majority only if swing is uniform since 2019. The local elections themselves show swing is not uniform and Lab are doing better in target areas. It seems blindingly obvious.

I see Tim Shipman has been at the copium again

If Tories think they can repair the damage caused by 14 years of misrule in only 8 months, they are utterly delusional.

RIP Roy Cross. The greatest ever model kit box artist.

The Daily Mail has entirely missed the last two days....

Respect to the election workers who counted votes for the London mayoralty, despite the capital's widespread looting, gun battles and tank warfare

This kids is why you shouldn’t do drugs - it makes you hallucinate

Enough of the local election results. We need to get back to the issues people really care about like small boats and Angela Rayner’s old council house.
