Even quite a few of those going around the constituency knocking on doors and leafleting on behalf of the party were angry at Labour.

Now I can see why some Reform people are - behind the cloak of anonymity - expressing doubts about Farage’s positive comments about these lovely bros.

This claims to be the most working class cabinet in history and it’s not a claim without merit. But it’s a weakly made claim, one that could have been used in a highly political and advantageous way to Labour had not been in the hands of legacy New Labour children afraid of ‘class’ politics.

‘Every single demographic prediction in my book was checked by some of the world’s leading Nazi demographers’ - A. Hitler.

What did they actually see? People going in family groups to vote or being coerced by older male family members to vote in a certain way? Not sure how they could observe the latter. It doesn’t really matter as Reform have their propaganda and whatever is the truth, they have their win.

Which is ironically less gas than has been produced by the Conservative front bench this year.

For our next podcast @fieryparticle.bsky.social & I will be talking to @gsoh31.bsky.social tomorrow about his book which looks at what new labour did in office as opposed to what its fans & critics say it did. If you have any questions for him, let me know: only rude & abusive ones will be read out.

If there’s nothing more pointless than a Formula One race, it’s a press conference about a Formula One race.

Wodehouse nearly turns Bolshevik.

Courtesy of a PG Wodehouse short story, I’ve just discovered there was such a thing as an All Quiet on the Western Front cocktail named in honour of that novel. I’m aghast and my eyes are boggling. If I can find all the ingredients, I might even make one. www.bonappeteach.com/all-quiet-on...

God bless Lisa Nandy. 🙄

Now Trump’s war on Iran finally makes sense.

Thank you @alcs.co.uk for that unexpectedly large contribution to my financial well-being. I hope others in my circumstances have signed up too.

I guess this counts as click bait as I can see no good reason for this story (sic) other than that. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Like so many, he was the future once. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/23/w...

Quite the most important question to be asked by YouGov today.

If nothing else this gives a clue as to where a lot of Farage’s money is coming from: the nutty US far right.

The only hope for the world is that somehow Trump dies and is replaced by Vance who, if only to get in with the MAGA antisemites, will find a way to come to terms with Iran. And obviously that’s not much of a hope.

Sorry to be a pedant but Goring wasn’t dead. But I’m pretty sure he was off his tits on drugs.

My enemy’s enemy is not *necessarily* my friend.

I’m not watching the game, but have seen the score so I can only assume that Arsenal haven’t got any corners yet.

Please address your questions to the brilliant political strategist Morgan McSweeney.

When someone says ‘the market thinks X’ - how do they know?

This is a very relevant question for him to ask because so many of the objections raised against Muslims in the UK and elsewhere echo those used by the Nazis & others to attack Jews. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

And he should know, as he looks at one in the mirror every morning.

Some have called Hitler’s invasion of the Soviet Union one of the craziest military decisions ever made, one that could never succeed, but at least he had a plan.

When somebody dies who wears a wig, if they are cremated does the wig go with them?

Timothy‘s comments & Badenoch’s endorsement confirms my impression the Cons are not planning to campaign against Reform at the next election: apart from ‘fiscal responsibility’, I don’t know what the difference is. Lab needs to prepare for unity on the Right. It’s obvious what needs to be done, yes?

One of the greats.

1. Britain has very much *NOT* always tolerated minority faiths. Just ask Jews and Catholics. 2. The idea that religious expression should be "in conformity with our values, our norms, our beliefs" should worry every faith group, starting with Christians.

This is an interesting but also at times infuriating discussion between 2 figures on the US rights, some of the matters are specific to them but others more general and applicable to the UK. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/19/o...

Under Rayner Labour wld performatively demonstrate it was on working people’s side but she doesn’t indicate where any new money will come from to make a real difference to their lives. What’s clear tho is she’s not seeking a place in Starmer’s ‘unBritish’ govt. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

With the kerfuffle about Churchill on a bank note and Trump banging on about how Starmer isn’t anything like him, we really do need to have a second edition of this.

I don’t see why they shouldn’t be, I certainly am.

I’m looking forward to FIFA finally awarding the 1966 World Cup to West Germany. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

You don’t have to be an antisemite to question the relationship between the US & Israel, tho it helps, but how ironic that this moment of Israel’s greatest influence over a president has provoked this crisis for US future support. It’s going to be an interesting ride. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/17/u...

Psychoanalyse this person from this.

As someone who reluctantly but eventually concluded Corbyn had a problem with those he saw as the wrong kind of Jews, this is slam-dunk, overt & absolutely 100% racist and it’s only because they’re Muslims that so few are pointing it out.

Who needs assisted dying when you can watch the Oscars?

A nation shrugs.

My wife pointed out Leonardo Dicaprio is starting to look more and more like Benny Hill and I can’t unsee it now #oscars

Don’t watch it.
