Honestly, the sooner the PLP pull the plug on this the better.

Wild stuff.

"If you don't like the changes that we've made, I say the door is open and you can leave"

The idea that this iteration of Trump simply sits and watches as he loses control of both houses of congress strikes me as highly improbable.

I cannot stress enough how enjoyable it is to deprive that withered old cunt of your money. Waterstones, Argos, Boots - it is so easy to get whatever you need, and it feels kinda fun, like taking a holiday in 90s Britain

Civil Service speak for ‘you would be out of *%#ing your mind’.

Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and Jacob Rees-Mogg conspired with a foreign fascist to overthrow the elected British PM, Theresa May. It’s right there in the #Epsteinfiles

Watters: I was walking in my street, a car drives by and I give him a wave. He rolls down the window and says, “F U fascist.” He doesn’t know I’m a fascist! Jessica: Yes, he does. You’re on TV.

This is really good. I think I’d just say that 60 odd year olds typically don’t change much.

McSweeney going makes no difference to the quoted point below. Starmer has lost the confidence of the House of Commons on a matter of national security. It is difficult to see any PM surviving that easily. And now there's the Mandeson document disclosure exercise over which he has no control.

Right, but just to clarify, you did not appoint Peter Mandelson, because you were not Prime Minister.

This skeet aging well. I also think this is still the case.

Spot on

Oooffff

Is this pitch-rolling?

Also, UK government contractor. Whoever replaces Starmer, nixing these contracts should be one of the first items of business. Enormous, epoch defining national security risk.

look, who could have possibly known that Peter Mandelson would misrepresent his relationship with a shady billionaire, apart from it being the thing he resigned over the last two times?

Yep…

Just reminded myself of the 2023 article. Not sure how you can read this and not conclude that he’s unfit for a government position. Open/shut case.

Andy Burnham today.

Whatever happens with McS, It’s always the principal.

Since Brexit, the UK engages with economic juggernauts such as the US and China from a position of weakness, not strength. It is time to accept that leaving the EU has made us weaker, diplomatically and economically.

Just to add that this another one of those golden eggs, which present themselves with increased frequency, that can be used to articulate a proper rebuttal to the entire Brexit project.

Yep.

Mandelson was on Laura kuensberg the other week and she asked him why he stayed friends with Epstein after he’d been to prison for being a paedo and he gave some excuse and then they just carried on talking about other news stories for the rest of the interview.

I assume that Epstein is asking the then de-facto Deputy PM about restaurant options here…

MI5 really didn’t already know this?

Why is it acceptable for the UK to have ongoing business with Thiel (Chairman of Palantir)? It’s batshit.

Entirely unclear to me how he stays in House of Lords.

If Wes wanted to burnish his credentials with progressives, nixing the NHS projects with Palantir would be a quick win. I shan’t hold my breath.

At this point, who actually believes this?

Jesus wept

Just a fundamentally evil, malevolent person. Rotten to the very core.

If you'd not read the preceding post, you might have thought this was about something else

Just for anyone who thinks we should emulate the American approaching to employment rights and unemployment, this is what some friends of mine in the US woke up to this morning.

Make it stop!

So in the face of an electorate demanding radical and visible change, the PM will launch a campaign to save Squires (when the time is right). This will not end well.

Battling for second place. Galaxy brains.

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country. As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

General Strike

Once I’ve filed my taxes return, I’m handing back my passport. I’m done.

If nothing changes, England cannot participate in the World Cup.

Any self-respecting democracy will be boycotting the World Cup this year.

Ed Miliband tells the Fabian Society conference: “I very much hope the local party will have the option of selecting Andy Burnham as the candidate”.
