We hope to report today on the employment tribunal of Samantha Tempest & PQ vs DEFRA and the Rural Payments Agency.
It is the first day of hearings so there may well applications or other business for the Tribunal to deal with. Official start time is 10 am.
PQ & Tempest (the claimants or Cs) are claiming discrimination, harassment and/or victimisation on grounds of gender reassignment. Central to the claim is the Sex Equality and Equity Network in the Civil Service (SEEN or IP). SEEN has been granted right to intervene.
Unpopular opinion: Putin is no longer the absolute ruler of Russia.
He is a hostage to his own security apparatus.

He is a hostage to his own security apparatus.
(🧵Read on — 1/13)
Putin came out of the KGB — and the KGB's heir is the FSB. Four years of war later, the FSB has seized control of Russian life: not as a spy service, but as a political police with emergency powers that now substitutes for the state itself.

Start with communications. A law Putin signed in February 2025 lets the FSB order any carrier to cut any connection at its own discretion, with no explanation and no liability to the customer.

Yesterday at Leinster House for World Whistleblower Day, the conversations afterward turned powerfully to accountability, protections for those who speak out and the gaps that still exist in our institutions.
Follow up discussions quickly moved to the banking crisis of 2008 and its aftermath, very much ongoing today - & whether the full story of decision-making back then has ever been properly confronted.
Those exchanges prompted a closer look at key testimony from the Banking Inquiry that still feels unresolved today.

One striking piece came from former AIB Chairman Dermot Gleeson, who recalled the night of the blanket bank guarantee in September 2008.
Gleeson said Finance Minister - the late Brian Lenihan told him he was prepared to let Anglo Irish Bank and Irish Nationwide wind down.
Gleeson added that AIB viewed Irish Nationwide as irretrievably broken at that point, and he was surprised by how the broader guarantee unfolded without fuller input from some key players.
Crucially, when Anglo’s Sean Fitzpatrick publicly claimed that all banks were insolvent, Gleeson wrote to him describing those comments as “frankly outrageous”, insisting AIB did not see itself as having a solvency problem on that critical night - contrary to discussions in May 2019 in Finance Committee in which it is openly acknowledged that banks were insolvent.

Gleeson’s account painted a picture of AIB as somewhat sidelined from the final guarantee decision, learning the details largely through the media the next morning.
He maintained that the focus that evening was heavily on containing the risks from Anglo’s collapse and its potential ripple effects, rather than any immediate crisis of solvency at the larger pillar banks themselves.
This testimony left many wondering how much of the systemic picture was shared openly at the time versus managed behind closed doors.

Excerpts from TR Fehrenbach's "Fire and Blood: A History of Mexico" (1995). The PRI had massively expanded higher education. These universities were entirely 'free'/self-governing and became locuses of left-wing organizing.
In 1968, security forces fired upon a massive student demonstration/riot against the Olympic Games.
By 1970 Mexico had made enormous progress; the national income increased sixfold while the death rate dropped by half. But Mexico was still struggling with foreign-exchange; the govt pursued import-substitution to improve balance-of-payments.
Last week, Israeli–American journalist @emilykschrader addressed the Oxford Union in opposition to the motion: “This House believes Israel never truly wanted peace with Palestine.”
She argued that peace requires mutual recognition of each people’s right to self-determination – and that the Palestinian national movement has too often defined peace not as coexistence with Israel, but as a world without it.

1/11 Lp(a) - Friend or Foe ?
Lp(a) is usually labeled “atherogenic,” but if you look at the biology, there’s a more nuanced story that may intersect with Alzheimer’s pathways.
Lp(a) is basically LDL + apolipoprotein(a), and apo(a) looks a lot like plasminogen. /2

2/11 That matters because plasminogen is part of the fibrin breakdown system, and fibrin isn’t just about blood clots in the body, it also shows up in brain microvasculature and has been found in association with amyloid-β deposits.

3/11 Amyloid-β & fibrin actually interact: Amyloid can make fibrin clots more resistant to breakdown. That creates a loop where impaired fibrinolysis ➡️ more persistent fibrin deposits ➡️ more vascular stress and inflammation ➡️ worse clearance of amyloid from brain tissue.

1/ Zimbabwe’s pension funds hold US$1.16 BILLION in property.
It earns just 3.7% a year.

That’s a loss on 44% of the nation’s retirement savings — every single year.

2/ For 2 years, that loss was hidden.
In 2024, 79% of pension “income” wasn’t rent or dividends.
It was paper gains from marking property UP.
When the currency steadied in 2025, the magic stopped — total pension income fell 78.7%.

3/ The property is still on the books at full value.
Re-price it to what it actually earns:
• −US$383m at a generous 6%
• −US$702m at the full hurdle
That’s up to 26.7% of ALL pension assets

Give a driver, they stop driving. Give a cook, they stop cooking. Each "favour" removes a reason to move, decide, exist. He calls it the Dependency Risk Spiral: confidence → decision-making → relevance, lost in that order.
"Getting old is mandatory. Feeling old is optional." Tell someone "don't climb the stairs, don't drive, don't, don't, don't" for ten years and you've built the frailty you were afraid of.
