Magic Grandpa up to his usual tricks. 🙄

Reform UK and Matt Goodwin are coming for your womb. #GortonAndDenton

For that matter, neither did the King.

The impact of the Epstein crimes on our Parliament is a stain on public life. I led the parliamentary debate on this on Tuesday. We have listened to the gut-wrenching stories of abuse endured by vulnerable women and girls, and we are now at a crossroads in our public life. buff.ly/y6q5i9s

So, Matt Goodwin cheated, he had a Nazi-sympathising campaign manager, a team of racist campaigners aligned to far right hate groups and he himself was accused of sexual harassment by a colleague at GBNews. Please god don’t inflict this foul piece of shit on the rest of us, #GortonandDenton

Tonight’s weird dream. I’m in Delft visiting a daughter at university. It’s summer in the evening. I am happy. I get lost and my shoes are stolen by a sinister man in a wide-brimmed hat. I wander the streets barefoot. I’m confused. I wake up. I lived in Delft 20 years ago. I was very happy there.

Zack Polanski doesn't want you to watch this... youtube.com/shorts/Q7idI...

“It’s a cross between journalism and voodoo dolls.” Ian Hislop explains the Private Eye cover that predicted Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s arrest. ➡️ Watch the full episode of Page 94, the Private Eye podcast, on YouTube: youtu.be/pHNuqHyF5M0

Peter Mandelson: such a drama Queen. 🙄

The chances are waning that Vladimir Putin’s armies in Ukraine will produce something he can call victory. But Russia’s president cannot give up. We explain why

“In the Great Patriotic War, from June 1941 to May 1945, the Red Army advanced 1,600km from Moscow to Berlin. In this longer war, Russian forces in Donetsk, the main focus, have advanced just 60km—the distance from Washington to Baltimore.” 😂

He he. 🤣😂🤣 All the union flags on the B440 near me have been tied in knots, and a Gay Pride flag added, flying freely at the end. I thoroughly approve, even though I'm British and straight.

I don’t feel sorry for the idiots motivated by greed who bought into this. They’ll be leaning a lesson the hard way.

I'm sorry, but what in the actual blithering fuck?? "We will work to reduce the number of interventions in childbirth"???

Polanski is batshit crazy on natural birth and Greens should be avoided at all costs for the pain and damage they will cause to women. He’s a conman.

Thanks to @semafor.com for mentioning my piece on Eritrea and Ethiopia in this excellent selection of articles on the tensions in the Horn of Africa:

The word “dignity” seems to have left America.

Tonight’s weird dream. I’m on the run from the police in an oppressive state. I hide by joining a group of autistic children on a visit to a science park. I’m nervous that the unpredictable children will be difficult, but they are very sweet and loving. I wake up. Are these feta-induced dreams?

The US is always going in about “No Kings” but two countries that actually have royalty - Norway and U.K. - have done something about those in power that the US just hasn’t. How come?

“Tottenham have been given the name ‘Spursy’ – when you have opportunities but get no results…that is precisely how the Minister of Finance is handling the Swedish economy. The government risks making Sweden ‘Spursy.’ That won’t do. Sweden cannot perform like Tottenham” – Swedish MP Mikael Damberg😂😂

Tonight’s weirds dream. I’m in a small town in Kenya. It’s dusty and the soil is red. There’s no meat available because the pork marketing board (🤷) is on strike. But it’s ok because I don’t eat meat. I wake up. I don’t eat meat so it’s quite a relaxed dream.

30 yea ago I had an Arsenal season ticket. The only game I disliked was the North London derby. It was either an ultra dull 0-0 stalemate or 90 minutes of hatred, hysteria and pandemonium. I still feel sick watching it now, 3,500km away.

British Leyland is about to hit the NE US.

Andrew was catching up on the game at Twickenham yesterday.

Sending a hospital ship to a place that already has universal healthcare is such a perfect snapshot of how some politicians misunderstand government that it almost reads like satire. Greenland isn’t some lawless outpost with no doctors and a hand painted “ER” sign nailed to a fishing shack.

www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte... Excellent from @jonathanliew.bsky.social IMHO U.K. is likely to get a Reform government in error, which they’ll regret within months.

podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/c... Congress is broken.

England crap at cricket and rugby, a Labour government attacked from the left and the right. It’s like we’ve never left the 1970s.

Private Eye acknowledges the genius of our political commentariat.

Hannah Fry on our accelerating relationship with AI: ‘So far, society has been based on exchanging labour for money. Our tax system is based on taxing income, not wealth. I think those two things are going to have to change.’ www.newscientist.com/article/mg26...

FIFA’s plan to fleece fans, part 75. Buy FIFA crypto and watch it lose 90% of its value. Fucking idiots and gullible fools only need apply.

Another fucking traitor www.politico.eu/article/bori...

He’s actually mad.
