"Human rights official says politicians are playing into the hands of the populist right as they seek to tackle migration"

It's so obvious that Starmer is playing right into the hands of Reform, that you have to wonder if Keir Starmer is a secret admirer of Nigel Farage, because if Starmer isn't aware of what he's doing, he's someone's useful idiot.

Remember, I accurately predicted the downfall of Boris Johnson, in 2-3 years, at the time of his big win in 2019. I'm not some sort of clairvoyant, and I've repeatedly explained how I make these accurate political predictions.

Daily Ukraine map thread for Sunday 7th December to Wednesday 10th December 2025
Highlights: Large update today as we condense Sunday through Wednesday into one, due to lack of personnel. We'll do a full front round up to make up for it.
Vovchansk - Russian forces advanced slightly to Lyman (different one) in north Kharkiv, as well as being sighted in Vilcha.
Kupyansk - Ukrainian forces sighted in north Kupyansk, indicating Ukrainian pushback is succeeding in the city. Ukrainian forces also retook much of the territory back to Stepova Novoselivka (Map 1)
Lyman - Infiltration via the woodlands means Russian forces snuck through to Yarova. Heavy fighting continues here, in the tough forested area.
Siversk - Heavy fighting in Siversk itself as Russian forces try to breach the river. (Map 2)
Kostyantynivka - Heavy fighting as usual here, no significant changes as Russian forces continue to expend large amounts of manpower to advance a few yards.
Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad - Russian forces sighted in Myrnohrad as they try and capture the town, and the supply line is very very contested for Ukrainian forces coming in and out. There was a large Russian assault in west Pokrovsk towards Hryshyne, especially on quads, resulting in lots of burning wrecks along the road. (Map 3)
Dnipropetrovsk / East Zaporizhia -
Proof of the Ukrainian recapture of Ivanivka came in, showing numerous Russian KIA and PoWs taken. 67th Mech also released a video, undated, of the capture of numerous Russian PoWs across the river south of Orestopil. Russian forces press in on Hulyaipole, with drones striking Russian positions within the northeastern residential section. (Map 4)
Elsewhere, Ukrainian USVs struck the sanctioned Russian oil tanker 'Dashan' in the Black Sea today, seemingly disabling it. This is the third confirmed tanker hit over the past few weeks, discounting the one disabled near Senegal which was unconfirmed.
As this is being typed, a large Ukrainian UAV attack on Russia is underway.

$EOSE A thread on my analysis of NextEraโs Investor Day:
NextEraโs $NEE Investor Day was a masterclass on the energy industry and the base case for the next decade. Anyone interested in this sector, or with investments in any energy company, should listen and analyze every word that came out of here.
This is the biggest utility company in the world. They are the largest: gas, nuclear, renewable and storage operators IN THE WORLD. They've built more infrastructure than the next 20 biggest utilities COMBINED. If they speak, you listen.
They clearly stated that the real bottleneck in U.S. power isnโt generation - itโs capacity. And THE ONLY CAPACITY RESOURCE AVAILABLE AT SCALE THORUGH THE END OF THIS DECADE IS: ENERGY STORAGE.
Theyโre planning 8X more storage than gas through 2032, 53X more than nuclear, and highlighted that extending BESS duration to 8 hours doubles their opportunity set. This is the strongest, most detailed endorsement of grid-scale BESS weโve ever seen from a major utility.

$NEE kicked off their investor day with multiple PRs. Among them:
- A 2.5GW contract with 2 energy-storage agreements with $META.
- An expansion with their $GOOG relationship, building on their 3.5GW in operation or contracted capacity they have in place. Particularly, developing three initial campuses for data-center hubs with a focus on clean energy capacity.

Basically, $NEE has become the developer of choice of Hyperscalers data-centers.
Interesting tidbit here. If I was a hyperscaler wanting Eosโ batteries at my datacenters, NextEra is the top developers I am choosing. Nice to see Google and Meta putting the initialpieces together already:

When you combine all three signals, the picture becomes very clear:
โข $40B/month in T-bill purchases
โข a fresh โ0.25% rate cut
โข and an economy already in stagflation
โฆyou donโt get a โsoft landing.โ
You get the start of a new inflation wave.

T-bill purchases = stealth liquidity.
Rate cuts in stagflation = negative real rates.
Negative real rates = the oldest monetary accelerant in history.
This is how a central bank weakens its own currency without admitting it.

That question just got answered by a team at Cornell.
They needed a way to trace connections backward through the brain - to light up every neuron sending signals into a specific area.

From the moment Alexander "Sandy" Kemp held up his hand to pause the first witness in the Sandie Peggie tribunal so he could write down what had been said in laborious longhand, it was clear what sort of judge was in charge.๐งต
Never mind that this unnecessary note-taking disrupted the flow of the evidence and the legal arguments, never mind that there was a stenographer in court and the hearing was recorded, Judge Kemp had his own way of doing things and he was sticking to it.
Anyone whoโs spent time around courts knows the type. Itโs almost always a man, a man who believes he inhabits a realm above those of mere mortals, a king in his own courtroom.
