Top journalism there lads. I mean, you literally got the name wrong in the headline, lack any scientific comprehension whatsoever, and can't find your arse from your fucking elbow. But other than that, top work.
Fascinating by @IanDunt on how evidence of Neanderthal paintings means we can start telling new (and more hopeful) stories about who we are and who we could go on to be

The new evidence of Neanderthal paintings is changing how we think of our humanity

Doing the papers on Sky in a bit. Covid, Iran, climate change, staycations... The whole bundle.
Went onto Facebook for the first time in ages (still need an account for work). Pretty shocked how many people I'm 'friends' with have been red-pilled.

One of the most troubling things we've yet pressed "publish" on.
There are, at the very least, proper questions to be asked about whether a Government Minister has destroyed evidence in live court proceedings. https://glplive.org/bethell-phone

Brexit 'good news' now consists of holding on to *some* of the stuff we had before, ignoring the fact that this story proves member states can pursue their own border policies & never mentioning that we've given all the *control* to our former partners...

Freedom!
I think I’ve probably blocked too many cultish liars to be able to work out where this sort of nonsense comes from. But still it comes…
What research did you do on Boris Johnson, before directing all your fire on Jeremy Corbyn before the last election?
Knowing Johnson was installed by Trump and dependent on the ERG? https://twitter.com/mrjamesob/status/1423002269927280642

Surely it's time Rees Mogg, Francois, Bridgen, Jenkyns & co revealed what on earth their 'European Research Group' actually researched. After all, they took a ton of public money to do it.
I won't mention names because it makes their recovery harder, but if you're baffled/troubled/stunned by journalists you used to admire doubling down on obvious & epic public mistakes, I wrote a whole book about how it happens & why we/they can't help it.
