Can you all please be especially gentle with middle-aged people in the next few days, as we're all trying to process the idea that 2015 now counts as "the old times".

The difficulty with being a Truss tribute act is there's so little original material in the short career. Like trying to be a tribute to a Dr & The Medics, there was only one hit and it was a novelty cover version.

"Labour Liz Truss" sounds like a crap tribute act, like "the Stoke Roses" or "Yeovil Pink Floyd".

The "Labour Illuminati" & the deep state will control the puppet strings of Rayner and install Streeting, says former prime minister Liz Truss, who also says Labour have nobody to compare to herself.

Keir Starmer will be looking for his third Chief of Staff since becoming PM, after the departure of Morgan McSweeney. What is the role of Chief of Staff to the PM, how did it arise and what is the difference with other key roles in No10? www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainer/do...

Someone just ran into the pub I was in and shouted "The war on the Soft Left is over!" and everyone started cheering and crying and making toasts to Ed Miliband and a state driven green energy transition. Never seen anything quite like it

I think it's time for Schumer to go. All he seems to do is provoke hundreds of Americans to write angry messages I have to wade through every day, there's nothing I can do about them and it's really boring, so he'll just have to go.

Shriver gives this interview from her Lisbon home, where she is, unsurprisingly, an immigrant. But by only demonising Black and brown people, in fiction guaranteed to stir up hate, she is blissfully unaware of her own contradictions.

Pressure increases on McSweeney: told that if he doesn't go soon, he'll be played by James Corden.

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

Gove forever plays the awfully polite gentleman who entertains this sh!t, but he never really knocks it down. Because that would be impolite. This is just another reason why the hard right is running rampant through Conservatism.

Do these guys *ever* have a moment of self-awareness

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.
