Today I walked 14 miles up and down Ben More on the isle of Mull and saw very little except this tiny frog.

Also enough to fund free university education, or every sane tram/metro project ever proposed in every British city. What we have given to PIP passes no good cost:benefit exercise, and the massive increases in it won’t create any enduring economic legacy for Britain or its new recipients.
The PIP increase across the 2024-2030 period of £19 billion is almost twice as much as the £10 billion the government needs to find to increase defence spending lmao

26 minutes of madness. One of the most extraordinary desert wars is unfolding right now. Houthi footage shows today’s attack on forces backed by Saudi Arabia in Al Jawf.

One of the charts I discuss in the post. That's a hell of a change in a single generation.
New post: Young people are increasingly unhappy. It's a real phenomenon + nothing to do with "snowflakes". There are lots of standard culprits - social media, school, economy - but none explain the long-term trend. So what is going on? (£/free trial) samf.substack.com/p/the-agen…

I’ve never thought we should ban innovation or scientific endeavour but it’s clear we need a new multinational treaty for the safe and regulated development of superintelligence. I’ve written to @antonioguterres @MathiasCormann and @andyburnham to ask that the UN, OECD and G7/G20 act now.

Political Islam is not a material planning consideration.
We are witnessing levels of British NIMBYism previously thought impossible.

Sanctions imposed by this hard left, anti Jew Burnham Govt against Israel: 1) will embolden antisemitic hate crimes in UK 2) are damaging to our international standing with US & Israel, two of our most important security partners It is self destructive virtue signalling that will make us less safe

You haven't researched this have you, for years the Ukrainian government have been abusing Russian citizens including banning the use of the Russian language, their Pro Nazi force were put into areas of large Russian population to kidnap torture rape and murder them, Putin warned them to stop they refused so Russia went in to protect their citizens, that is how this started not the western propoganda.
