After her 5 years in Iran’s Evin Prison, bombed the other day by Israel, Nazanin Zachary-Ratcliffe writes: ‘If Evin taught me anything, it was that freedom does not come from bombs and brutality, nor from clever stunts for the cameras. It lies in human connection and empathy.’

If you fancy cringing until your eyes pop out, watch this interview with the new Reform councillor responsible for economic growth in Nottinghamshire. Gems include “I have no idea, genuinely” and reading (badly) from a bit of paper.

My previous thread about Victoriia, her incredible bravery and the important work she was doing. A testament to one of the many treasures that russia keep taking away from us.

People are too quick to weaponise gender (along with race) in politics. But Rachel Reeves qualified as an economist with a masters from the LSE, and earned a merit in the process. No man would have their qualifications questioned in this way. Ever.

Ian Hislop, "Farmers didn't pay inheritance tax at all, and now they're going to pay half of what everybody else pays.. And the limits they set on them are really pretty high"
"So it's meant to stop wealthy landowners buying lots of land in order to avoid taxes"
"People who come to mind.. Jeremy Clarkson who originally bought his farm in order to avoid paying any tax on it"
"Who has now become the champion of the small farmer who is probably not going to get hit by this, and is going to end up worse off for lots of other reasons"
Victroia Derbyshire, "Why are you here?"
Jeremy Clarkson, "I'm here to support farmers"
VD, "So it's not about you and the fact that you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax?"
JC, "Classic BBC.. It's not the fact that I bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax"
VD, "You told the Sunday Times in 2021 that's why you bought it"
JC shakes his head
Ian Hislop, "It's not as though he doesn't have any history with the Beeb, she's quite lucky he didn't punch her in the face with cold food"

Rachel Reeves has a masters in Economics from the LSE, which is a ridiculously hard university to get into.
Questioning her credentials is pure misogyny. We’ve had countless less qualified Chancellors but they were men and men know about money, right?

A GP heckled Sunak at a live presser:
"The NHS is disintegrating.... 2,500 GPs are unemployed because of your policies... 37,000 Gps will not vote Tory... you cannot employ lesser qualified people instead of GPs..."
He then proceeded to laugh at her.
