Just checked and...

Deeply depressing to watch pundits radicalise themselves into supporting criminal thugs causing mayhem on British streets

Imagine volunteering to be the paper candidate for a no-hope party in the Makerfield by-election, only to then find yourself on Question Time.

"The Court implies that individuals with profound cognitive disabilities cannot be "deprived" of liberty because their condition limits their ability to experience it" UK is going back to 19th/early 20th century eugenics isn't it?

Congress is also supreme! they have just largely chosen to abnegate their responsibilities as lawmakers.

A lot of the BBC needs to ve fired, just this and the BAFTAs alone should have *serious* questions on BBC editorial and leadership.

Ed Miliband: "New phone, who dis?"

Babe it's our Barak Ravid pump and dump article again.

If James Cleverley could do maths we would all be loudly discussing the inevitability of a Tory victory

I don't, but if you are that worried about "getting caught" maybe don't tell the Times?

Mamdani: "Govt efficiency — these are words that somehow have been understood as if they are R priorities, when in fact they're priorities of anyone who believes in the public sector. Any yet, Elon Musk used it to cut as many jobs that were as critical as possible for so many of the neediest people"

Guys, Barak Ravid told us that "US Source" say that a deal is going to be wrapped up in the coming hours or days at most /s.

a time-honored tradition for key affiliates of disintegrating Nazi regimes

People should be waiting for the @edzitron.com and Moores Law is Dead's channel for an upcoming Broken Silicon podcast in the next two weeks (likely 9th of Tuesday) than this:

While Tony Blair is trashing UK govt energy policy, NESTA analysis finds "early signs [it] may be working" 2022: Gas prices went up 100%, electricity 83% (roughly 1:1) 2026: Gas +28%, elec 6% (5:1 = "electricity beginning to decouple from gas") www.nesta.org.uk/blo...

Columnists reaction: wow you don't have to agree with what Mr. Blair says but his sophisticated analysis is second to none

Every Ed miliband policy in government: we shouldn't bomb every kitten in Britain to power the genocide ai machine Every Tony Blair stern criticism: yes we should

Except it isn't what he did in government! He raised spending massively, raised taxes, increased welfare spending, increased immigration and was pro-EU integration. Now he's against all those things.

I'm curious as to what 'home truths' Tony Blair thinks Canada needs to reckon with. That we didn't do enough on fentanyl? That we didn't integrate ourselves sufficiently with the US? That while we joined in Afghanistan, we sat out Iraq?

I mean, its very plausible if Burnham like ends up PM before thr Summer Recess + snap GE by end of August/Early September. But yeah, anyone actively wanting to be PM ASAP with no snap GE is kinda nuts.

Lol Trump doesn't want the war to end, another Pump and Dump with "exclusives".

Brought my Brazilian friend to Glastonbury and she could not understand what 28 degrees in a field in Somerset could do to her that 33 degrees in São Paulo couldn't. It's real!

One problem of the fact the UK hasn’t had decent income growth is that it encourages a crabs-in-a-bucket, everything is zero sum mentality.

rough day for Calvin Robinson

Totally not a bubble guys: isaiprofitable.com

I love when all the folk who moved to Britain from hot countries finally experience a British heat wave and suddenly Understand

This may to be celebrated but I am not sure if its worth basically killing off pathways of youth unemployment.

Can it really be true that: a) the Women's Institute has had trans members since the 1970s, b) the UK passed a law in 2010 requiring them to be expelled, c) nobody noticed this until 2026? it seems that we may have to consider the appalling vista that some lawyers are very bad at their job

Ah! Well. Nevertheless, Can't wait to do this again next week when markets open

You must understand: Lily, who works doing data analysis for the University of Bristol and lives in a house share is middle class. Brian, her landlord, who is a self employed plumber declaring around a third of his income is working class.

30% of Makerfield's working population are in trades/manufacturing or manual labour. 70% are in professional, managerial, admin or services jobs. 22% work from home.

Brianna Ghey is valuable and has great utility to the transphobes now that they've used her mom to rewrite the narrative from "Brianna was brutally murdered by transphobic classmates who pretended to be her friend" to "Brianna died because her phone convinced her to be trans"

👇 Today’s announcements just felt of a piece with the general “but I don’t WANT to govern for the times I find myself in. I want to govern like we have the New Labour economy but this time the old Labour right is in charge” vibe.

"Theresa May supporting self ID" is also important to remember when people do the whole "well I regret how horrible things feel now but you do have to accept the radical trans activists went too far with the nonsense of self ID" thing - no, it had cross-party and general public acceptance!

1. Unrecedented expansion of serfdom 2. Near obliteration of the Crimean Tatars 3. Pale of Settlement 4. Brutal reprisals after peasant uprisings 5. The destruction of the only state which had a chance of becoming a successful multicultural republic Random German historian: "Girlboss behaviour?"

Every single article written on welfare "reform" (cuts) should involve the journalist who wrote it speaking to some actual welfare claimants. Reading this you do not come away with the idea that the DWP are as viciously sociopathic as they evidently are, see this:

👇 This is the point that cannot be made enough. Ultimately the advent of the personal automobile you cannot run a decent bus service without subsidy (yes, this is true in London too). Need to have a solution to this or the 2025 Act is just a theoretical power for most local authorities.

I don't know where this bizarre idea that China has universal health care comes from, but it very much does not by any normal standard. It has a highly tiered system that brutally discriminates against rural patients and imposes often crippling financial costs.

Hahaha wow they are going for it, Farage's screaming will be absolutely **GLORIOUS**.

Honestly really wonder if Lowe and co really go for it and then it results Burnham/Labour winning by equal or less the share of vote of the Restore candidate. The meltdown by Farage would be absolutely glorious and completely worth it.

we don't talk enough about how the EC let Brexit/Reform get away with having a massive arrow pointing at the ballot box

This is exactly the phenomenon I was discussing in my thread yesterday (will attach below). Even if you can show a video is faked with AI, some people just don’t care - as long as it supports what they want to believe.

crucial context: Peter Mandelson was sacked from the first New Labour government for having a £373,000 *loan* (not a gift) from a Labour colleague (Geoffrey Robinson) to buy a house

Does that include the £5mn?

Once again: Jo Cox MP was murdered. David Amess MP was murdered.

Hearing that Matt Goodwin used to deliver takeaway to Makerfield

Okay I'll be honest, *that's unexpected*. And technically still in Greater Manchester... but not exactly the seat *anyone* was expecting. I hope Team Burnham has done polling on this extensively, I mean:

I know we like to joke about how every faction in the Labour Party will eventually adopt every position. I wasn't expecting them to manage it in one leadership contest
