    This is Piotr Patkowski, Poland’s deputy finance minister. He looks *extremely* like a 12-year-old playing dress up as a kid’s idea of a grown man. He’s 29.

    Well this blew up. Nothing to promote, just urge you all to support the Polish women’s movement and Strajk Kobiet in opposing Piotr’s horrible government.

    This is FASCINATING. Rebekah Vardy's legal claim against Coleen Rooney relates to how completely the grand........ reveal seeped into meme culture, and gives this example from Corbyn during the general election.

    National Action was banned in 2016, in the wake of Jo Cox's murder. It was the first time since the second world war a far right group had been outlawed by British authorities. Here's a bit more about why – a brilliant backgrounder by @ambassey

    I’m sure this point has been made, but MY GOD how poorly this reflects on Johnson. Break lockdown and erode public faith in lockdown? Cummings stays. But brief against the PM? You’re out in a flash. How upside down politics is.

    What is happening to Jess Brammar now amounts to really sinister bullying. Trawling her private Instagram? We should all be calling this out - it matters for everyone working in our industry.

    This is a horrifyingly sad piece. When Harry Sentoso got called back to work at an Amazon delivery center in Irvine, California in late March. But two weeks later, he was dead. latimes.com/business/techn…
