Reform don't want to regulate your landlord. They don't want to regulate your employer. But they do want to regulate your sex life.

a year is a long time in politics

the tourettes at the BAFTAs thing, with its lack of clear baddie and its need for sympathy for all and a bit of saneness and restraint, is perfectly designed to send a specific type of (usually american) ultra liberal mental

I wrote on the fall of Peter Mandelson for the next issue of the @lrb.co.uk Online early now: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

watched and enjoyed shattered glass. hard to escape the feeling that these days he'd just pivot to substack, maybe convert to catholicism, come up shining 18 months later

Discernible among my friends and colleagues who remain heavy X users: affects both their sense of issue salience and the intellectual framework (i.e., usually race and migration) through which to understand them. Many think themselves exempt through critical thinking skills. You are what you eat!

Tbf, “become a Roman Catholic” is quite a common move for the (justly) cancelled

I’d say he’s sweating now

Very pleased to see my book reviewed in the TLS: www.the-tls.com/politics-by-...

very excited for this

i'm on main talking about the radical history of flour.

my ideal wall decoration... an egon schiele print ... my partner's ideal wall decoration... a picture of an american ship surrendering at sea during war of 1812 ...

I thought this was an AI mock up because no man would be so monumentally idiotic, insensitive and intrusive as to punish women for not having children…but then it is Reform. Reform are not on yourside. Reform not care about women’s safety. Reform only see us as baby making machines.

"A clear and incisive account, Morgan Jones carefully sets out how Britain and the remain world lost control – not in a single calamity but in instalments" 📚 @tomwatsonofficial.bsky.social reviews @morganj0nes.bsky.social's 'No Second Chances' @bitebackpublishing.bsky.social bit.ly/4raSGSt

Took me right back to the dark days of the Brexit wars. Kept wanting to scream "It was ADVISORY!" again. 🤣

I’m on this talking about my book, which has a section on how Remainiacs came into existence and its role in the anti-Brexit world (meta!)

First thing on Monday it looked like Starmer was organic sourdough toast. By teatime he looked safe – for now. Can the PM weather the brutal months ahead? @nndroid.bsky.social, @rmcunliffe.bsky.social, @hannahfearn.bsky.social & guest @morganj0nes.bsky.social discuss ➡️ linktr.ee/ohgodwhatnowpod

i am essentially a luddite and basically all new technologies i learn about on a day to day basis seem bad to me. but yesterday i learned they have made a grape that is mojito flavoured. this sounds so delicious it's restored my faith in progress

there really is always a 2nd referendum angle

"Jones has written an anatomy of a near miss and a self-deception... That is why the title lands. In politics, as in life, you can squander your first chance and still tell yourself you are keeping your options open. You are not."

I will be fascinated if we learn who was pretending to be Mainstream.

Very nice review of my book from Tom Watson (he should know) in the House this week: www.politicshome.com/opinion/arti...

Read "No Second Chances" by Morgan Jones about the campaign for a second referendum yesterday evening and it mostly adds to my view that UK politics suffered a nervous breakdown after 2016 from which we still haven't fully recovered. About ourselves, not really about the EU.

the reviews are good !!

www.newstatesman.com/politics/202... how spot on was this analysis by @dmk1793.bsky.social from almost 3 years ago

And the origins of that Brexit psychodrama? Could they have been elucidated in some kind of ... recently published book?

You can also hear @morganj0nes.bsky.social discussing the book on Today in Parliament www.bbc.com/audio/play/m...

High praise from the great @jim.londoncentric.media for No Second Chances by @morganj0nes.bsky.social. Get your copy here: amzn.to/4aoA36y

only i solider on

what will happen to us generationally when shorty can no longer get low, low, low

my first thought was “why do we care about the disgraced MP’s architectural proposal?”

This sums it up perfectly- such a good read and can’t really add much more to Jim’s take here! Congrats @morganj0nes.bsky.social

and who is this who is feeling querulous? you'll have to read the book and find out

i think this book would be best enjoyed with a Wetherspoons curry, regularly breaking off to google who felix marquardt is, with @duncanrobinson.bsky.social also there for some reason

So as I struggled with miscarriage after miscarriage before having my 🌈 baby, Reform would seriously think I should pay more tax during that agony. This policy isn’t just a slippery slope to a handmaids tale dystopian future - it’s a deliberate step towards it www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

New on FT website: Downing Street has refused to say whether Sir Keir Starmer knew Palantir was a client of Peter Mandelson’s lobbying firm when they both visited the company in Washington last February — ahead of it winning a £240mn UK government contract. www.ft.com/content/5bba...

chat about what is the most common birthday led me to the ons website and realising I was born in the sept/oct hotspot of shame
