Fashion′s Faustian pact: the high cost of Jeff Bezos′s Met Gala patronage (The Guardian)
|
|
|
Billionaire's role as honorary chair and main source of funding has led to boycotts and criticism event has lost its cachetThe Met Gala in New York is the grandest and ritziest event in the fashion calendar, and an indicator of the growing ties between designers, celebrity and power. But with tech billionaires now joining the cohort, this year's party may be its most controversial yet.All eyes are on the guest list – and their outfits – to launch the fashion exhibition Costume Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute. Beyoncé, Venus Williams and Nicole Kidman are chairing the event with Vogue's Anna Wintour, and tickets cost about $100,000 (£73,500). But in a plot twist worthy of the new Devil Wears Prada film, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos, the Met Gala's new honorary chairs, will be joining the 450 guests on the museum steps on Monday.

UK Schools Pushing Books On Kids Telling Them "There's Plenty Of Room" For Small Boat Migrants
Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,
British kids as young as five are now being read picture books that paint small boat crossings in glowing terms and urge them to open the door to unlimited migration.
While record numbers of illegal arrivals strain housing, schools and public services, left-wing charities are using taxpayer-backed programmes to turn classrooms into recruitment centres for open borders ideology.
More than 1,100 schools and nurseries across the UK have signed up to the Schools of Sanctuary programme, run by the City of Sanctuary network. The scheme requires schools to complete a “rigorous” award process to prove they are “working collaboratively to strengthen community approaches to welcoming refugee children and families.” Once awarded, they pay a minimum donation of £75 to £300.
Children's books with pro-migrant messaging that teach pupils 'every...

The Left′s Reaction To Arrest Of The Latest UK Stabbing Is As Predictable As It Is Disgraceful (ZeroHedge)

The Left's Reaction To Arrest Of The Latest UK Stabbing Is As Predictable As It Is Disgraceful
Authored by Paul Birch via DailySceptic.org,
These people have never been in a life-or-death situation like the arresting officers
One would think that even when the police successfully detain a suspect who was alleged to have been conducting a marauding knife attack, the professional activists would have a day off.
But you would be wrong. Amid all the 'Don't Look Back in Anger' cliché bingo, voices of criticism were heard. Among them, the blue-tick career race-baiter Shola Mos-Shogbamimu. She was quick to take to X following yesterday's attack on the Jewish community in Golders Green, north London. The 45 year-old suspect, a British national of Somali origin, had reportedly stabbed two Jewish men at random. The suspect – depressingly, inevitably – had previously been referred to the Government's counter radicalisation programme, Prevent.

Young Americans have soured on Trump | Steven Greenhouse (The Guardian)
|
|
|
The president's approval rating with those under 30 has plummeted as he has failed to deliver on promise after promiseRepublicans rejoiced when far more young voters than expected backed Donald Trump in 2024, with many of them moved by Trump's grandiose promises, such as his vow to “build the greatest economy in the history of the world”. But Republicans should be alarmed that so many 18- to 29-year-olds have soured on Trump – his approval rating with that group has sunk from 48% in January 2025 to between just 25% and 33% in recent months, according to polls by YouGov/the Economist.It shouldn't be a surprise that millions of young Americans have turned against Trump, considering that he has failed to deliver on so many promises, most notably his vow to reduce prices on day one. For young people, inflation is the No 1 economic issue, far outpacing other issues, and they very much wanted Trump to focus on affordability, but Trump has focused on everything but affordability. He's focused instead o...

More farming co-operatives could ′unleash growth′ in UK, finds report (The Guardian)
|
|
|
Greater agricultural collaboration can improve food security and resilience to global crises, says policy paperAgricultural co-operatives could “unleash growth” in the UK and improve national food security in the face of crises such as the Middle East conflict by “improving the resilience of UK farms”, according to a report.The policy paper produced by the Co-operative party, which backs influential Labour MPs including Steve Reed and Jonathan Reynolds, calls for “a shift in perspective, not a doubling down of the status quo”. It says co-ops, which enable farmers to pool resources, share risk and invest collectively, can help “reduce exposure to volatile input markets”, such as fertiliser, fuel and animal feed.
