"We're withholding our endorsement because our owner is frightened of government retaliation if Donald Trump wins" is a more forceful and eloquent statement than any newspaper editorial ever written.

This is the text of the Post columnists' statement, for those hitting the paywall: The Washington Post’s decision not to make an endorsement in the presidential campaign is a terrible mistake. It represents an abandonment of the fundamental editorial convictions of the newspaper that we love. This is a moment for the institution to be making clear its commitment to democratic values, the rule of law and international alliances, and the threat that Donald Trump poses to them — the precise points The Post made in endorsing Trump’s opponents in 2016 and 2020. There is no contradiction between The Post’s important role as an independent newspaper and its practice of making political endorsements, both as a matter of guidance to readers and as a statement of core beliefs. That has never been more true than in the current campaign. An independent newspaper might someday choose to back away from making presidential endorsements. But this isn’t the right moment, when one candidate is advocating positions that directly threaten freedom of the press and the values of the Constitution. Signed by: Perry Bacon Jr., Matt Bai, E.J.

Another damned good question. We've paid landowners £9bn to improve the environment, what have we actually got in return?

Yorkshire Water dumped sewage in rivers, breached its permits 259 times, received 146 warnings in last 2 yrs. Last yr CEO got £657,000 salary £371,000 bonus. CFO got £436,000 salary £245,000 bonus. Public gets cost of cleaning. Regulators do little. yorkshirepost.co.uk/business…

New monitoring data called the 'red list' shows species are now on the brink of extinction. Data reveals that we are in real danger of losing a significant amount of animals in the UK and globally.

*Longest sentences for non-violent protest in UK history* ❌ Roger Hallam jailed for 5 years ❌ Daniel Shaw, Cressida Gethin, Lucia Whittaker De Abreu, & Louise Lancaster, jailed for 4 years. 🎥 Watch Lucia's interview on her last day of freedom. @JustStop_Oil @DefendourJuries

What will you tell your kids? And what will the judge who issued those prison sentences to Just Stop Oil tell his? We are failing them …all because people are too stupid, greedy, corrupted or ignorant to act What an unforgivable legacy to leave.

Best take I've seen so far in regards to Trump's assination attempt.
