I’m not sure the lack of yacht ownership among young people is down to the perception that it’s not cool and trendy

so what you’re saying is that immigrants haves failed to respect a nation’s laws & don’t integrate into the culture

RFK JR: One time, Trump grabbed a placemat, turned it over, took a Sharpie, and drew a perfect map of the Middle East. Then he marked the troop strength of every country along each border on that map. It challenged a lot of the assumptions I had been told about him.

Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most.

You only come to think like a lawyer because you do the thinking yourself, putting things together and then apart. If you use AI as a substitute for this essential work, then whatever you are doing, you ain’t lawyering.

"Watering down" Labour's hostile anti-immigration policies is akin to someone saying they removed most of the rat poison from a cake mix so it is fine to eat. When policies are so thoroughly toxic they need scrapping and the Home Secretary who pushed them needs firing. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Stuart incoming?

I feel like Goodwin is getting a lesson in the fact that, even in hard right politics, you can be either pleasant to work with or good at the job but you do actually need to be one of them. His cardinal error was to be a prickly, thin-skinned arsehole and then lose. No one to blame but himself.

Crime in the United States has dropped immensely in the last 35 years

The internet is not, in any meaningful way, a lawless ‘wild west’.

This is tough on that devout Catholic Tony Blair.

Future generations are going to be amazed by how much we knew about climate change and how many ways we found to keep pushing the use of fossil fuels. It’s seems unlikely they will look upon us fondly.

Trump spent five minutes of his Cabinet meeting boasting of his thrift with a story about negotiating for $5 personalized Sharpies. The company that makes the permanent markers said the exchange never happened.

But the money will go directly into the oil company shareholders’ pockets?

Blair’s piece is basically ‘I am right, as I have always been in every matter of the Middle East. I am the voice of reason. I understand, and those who disagree with me clearly haven’t thought it through. Unlike me. Because I’m right.”

I see no problem here. Hard to disagree with and easy to chant.

If Matt Goodwin 'saw it with his own eyes', why didn't he immediately report it to the electoral officials in the relevant polling station? That would have been his patriot duty, surely?

That UK government ever considers asserting its contractual rights against a major supplier is rare and welcome. And here, this is especially welcome. This will not be easy but it can be done, but it is good it is being seriously considered at all. www.ft.com/content/2d2b...

A very good morning to you all.

The thing is, Tony Blair discredits his own messages just by being Tony Blair.

Again, the allegation here has to be left unsaid because the moment you spell it out it makes no sense – to affect the result here the claim needs to be that Gorton and Denton was full of Muslim women who wanted to vote Reform, but were coerced by their husbands into voting Green instead.

I'd add that this is why using the momentum of today is essential for building networks and communities, reconnecting with unions and civil societies and groups. However tenuous the links are, there's then the possibility to strengthen them when necessity dictates.

About time. The Government's "earned settlement" proposals are neither "clear", "compassionate" or "fair" - either to migrants or Brits, and the case for them, both economically and politically, has now been completely dismantled Starmer knows this - time to act. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

It’s still rather sweet that after all that’s happened so many people still trust the electoral process.

No no no no no. This is not enough until the midterms. You likely will not have fair and free midterm elections. You have to keep protesting.

Oh - memories - my first concert, aged 16, Colwyn Bay Pier. The Specials, The Beat, Selector. Wonderful!

There is an element of truth in the cartoon that makes the situation truly pathetic. Our sons and daughters are the cannon fodder for the sons and daughters of the oligarchs!

I’d rather like us in the U.K. not to have a king either….

Free public transport is a good idea for so many reasons.

Surprised she hasn't sent the police in to arrest the marchers...

The thing about art: it's like any other media. Most of it can be good without needing to know much/anything about the subject. Don't let being a know-nothing scare you. You wouldn't give someone a lecture about the life and historical context of Steven Spielberg before showing them Jurassic Park

I understand that Labour are involved in the anti-far right march today. Does that mean that Shabana Mahmood is resigning?

Early estimates of the London march against the far right today range from 50k [early police rough estimate] to several hundred thousand ['Together alliance' organisers] - Guardian www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live...

The Post called the White House. But the name attached to the number read “Epstein Island.” A Google Maps error labeled the White House as “Epstein Island” on some Android phones. Google reversed the edit and the White House said it was an external issue.

The book banning school in Manchester has now been named, the Lowry Academy. Some of the books have been returned to the shelves but not all. Glad to hear CILIP are supporting the librarian ://www.indexoncensorship.org/2026/03/greater-manchester-school-library-censorship-who-is-accountable/
