Perhaps wisdom isn't knowing everything.
Perhaps it's knowing where the boundary of our knowledge really lies.
And being willing to admit when we've reached it.

A 94-year-old Jewish human rights barrister was among more than 80 people arrested outside the Labour Party conference in Liverpool while demonstrating in support of Palestine Action.
The arrests came as Ed Miliband told critics of the government’s policy on Palestine: “We hear you. You were right"

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith: I will not be silenced by threats of prosecution from the President. The rule of law will endure. Public servants have remained faithful to their oaths despite extraordinary pressure. While fear may be contagious, courage is as well.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

If people don't want to pay tax to make this country function and help out the rest of society and particularly those who need help most... then maybe they should move to Dubai and stop bleating about it.

Burnham made Farage seem “angry, thin-skinned… absurd. What we witnessed today was a masterclass in political communication which makes Farage look like an amateur”
Finally. The confidence that comes with emotional intelligence. It could make all the difference.

Burnham speech: An astonishing moment of radicalism and commitment
It’s easy to be cynical, but it would be false. Something extraordinary is happening here.

The fact that the Fairford suspects are all British Nationals proves nothing. I’m a British National and look at the damage I’ve already caused to the UK.

FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK: Don't let flashy mailers trick you! They claim Ohioans want voter ID, but we ALREADY require photo ID to vote. What they are hiding is that it locks in rigid rules that permanently ban digital tech, stopping our overseas military from using digital IDs. Vote NO on 3!

The Times - which has v much joined in the rightwing clamour to reduce immigration - now reporting that Mahmood’s “success” has cost the economy £4- to £7Bn.
Would they like to now honestly confirm that fewer people = less spending power for all.
There’s a high price to pay for this nasty obsession.
