Lord Glasman, who Curtis Yarvin told me was a "charming fellow", is now calling Yarvin a "wanker" in the Byline Times and disputing Yarvin's claim that they hung out the night before I met him in June bylinetimes.com/2025/09/25/b...

CURTFISHING www.astralcodexten.com/p/sources-sa... (on.ft.com/3KoF59G)

I very much doubt you'll see a pic that goes as hard as this all day (unless the Rapture does actually happen) Great piece too, all my best to the Sisters of the Sanitary Cloth 😘

‘Potus, in full manuka honey-hued visibility, appeared thrilled with the spectacle in his honour.’ — @jemima.bsky.social, in today’s @financialtimes.com, captures the Trumpery in Windsor.

I went to a witches festival near Coventry and wrote about it for my latest instalment of "Adventures in Woo Woo" 🧙‍♀️💫🔮🧹 In this weekend's HTSI and online today on.ft.com/46WszWP

Cold press. AeroPress. Iced. Or simply black and strong. The FT's coffee geeks are ready to confess: Martin Wolf, Jemima Kelly, Robert Smith, Pilita Clark and many others are firmly under the spell of speciality coffee.⁠ ⁠ ⁠What about you? What's your coffee passion? on.ft.com/4nkeQ32 ⁠

@jemima.bsky.social delivers a wicked column. Donald Trump's adventures in Windsorland on.ft.com/4nbU45u

Iconic

"Trump namechecked Shakespeare, Dickens, Orwell — authors whose works he has undoubtedly devoured." @jemima.bsky.social on the US president's adventures in Windsorland on.ft.com/4nbU45u

"The first ever second state visit for an elected leader who claims a third presidential election win started off with a bang on Tuesday night, when Donald Trump landed at London’s fourth most glamorous airport." @jemima.bsky.social on sublime form on.ft.com/41XZUih

Aber-baijan does have q a nice ring to it

"Arguably" is arguably doing a lot of work here The totally impartial and ever giant-brained Eric Trump on how crypto will make the dollar great again: www.ft.com/content/0d40...

Beyond belief. Downing Street pandering to Trump by literally shutting down UK free speech. Shame on the government for its spinelessness. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

All political tribes can be hypocritical but the right's current level of hypocrisy on free speech is deliberate. It's an assertion of power not a blindspot.

Quite amusing to think of Trump in his grand Windsor bedroom suite posting this after putting on all his presidential airs for Charles and being stuffed with organic Norfolk chicken ballotine and quail egg salad

Utterly insane decision by ABC/Disney

Ever wanted to have your very own Lunch with the FT? WELL I'm honoured/mortified to announce I'm being auctioned off in the @financialtimes.com Financial Literacy & Inclusion Campaign and you can bid for lunch with me here! ft.com/auction #FTCharityLunchAuction #pickme www.ft.com/content/2179...

The Economist graph looks terrible at first glance and indeed it is bad, but it's also worth pointing out that even in this poll Trump still has 39% saying they approve, and his national polling average is relatively steady at 46% approval (per RCP www.realclearpolling.com/polls/approv...)

V excited to watch this next week

Some amusing stuff in this dispatch from the FT Weekend Festival, but amazing how sloppy the writing / subbing is. Manages to misspell Roula Khalaf's name two different ways! thecritic.co.uk/britains-eli...

A reminder of what Mandelson said to the FT's questions about Epstein in February this year

I learned from @jemima.bsky.social’s article today that the Rose Garden paved over by Trump is where he shouted at the boy mowing. Which leads me to conclude he paved it because that became a funny meme at his expense and he’s thin-skinned. Article here: on.ft.com/4mOd3Tl

My column in today’s FT Edit which by the way gives you 8 of the best FT stories every day for £4.99 / $4.99 a month IT’S A BLOODY STEAL

Farage is apparently speaking to Congress in his capacity as a spokesman for GB News.

It's the LEAVING MILLIONS ASKING for me 🤣

This is interesting on Americans' attitudes to labour (sorry "labor") unions. Kinda makes you feel like if the left could just get it together...

Mad mad image

“My philosophy is that the relationship of a source to a journalist should be long term and not a quick, cheap bang... I don’t want to have to use a condom. Metaphorically speaking.”

I have been waiting so I can share this with the non-weekend-socials people. It is revealing, terrifying, instructive, important, original - rare enough qualities amidst the clickbait that passes for journalism at the moment. Rarer still, it is splendidly written.

Another 300 clicks here 🎁! on.ft.com/4ozyZmK Sunday at the garden party for Curtis Yarvin and the new, new right

Grab a coffee, settle in, and try not to spill it at the details

This is brilliant. As with all things alt/far/extreme right, the blend of sinister & ridiculous is heady. Perfectly realised here.

Brutal www.ft.com/content/0e24...

Few commit harder to their work than Jemima Mar-a-Lago Kelly and this is the piece of the weekend bar none. Clutching only a bottle of Taittinger she heads to a garden party for the new right with Curtis Yarvin and you'll never want it to end. on.ft.com/4li3F92

dass me 🤡

A little taster of what to expect. It is *that* good, yes.

Reposts are not endorsements, apart from sometimes

I spent the day with Curtis Yarvin and the "dissident right" at a garden party in Surrey and wrote quite a few words about it. My cover story for today’s FT Magazine on.ft.com/4ooXS4t [GIFT LINK! 🎁]

From the way some talk, you'd think Labour is losing all its voters to Reform. Absolutely not. From @georgeeaton.bsky.social excellent email

AI shows ingroup bias towards AI content! If we deploy LLMs in decision-making roles (e.g., purchasing goods, selecting academic submissions) they will favor LLM agents over ordinary humans www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Bit of a reach, this

It's *almost* as if he had a vested interest on.ft.com/4fp1pLV

Column by the FT’s @jemima.bsky.social on our story that No10 hosted its first ever reception for influencers “I applaud what Labour is doing… but we do need to be careful to draw a clear line between public relations — it used to be called propaganda — and govt accountability via the press.”

Did some reporting on asylum hotel protests in London, which have kicked off again this weekend. NIMBYism, public safety debates, and estate agents fielding calls from nervous buyers in Canary Wharf. on.ft.com/4fi4XPU

Turning the White House into Mar-a-Lago is v funny - imagine a future Democratic president hosting balls in what will surely be called the Donald J. Trump Ballroom on.ft.com/4lqiZ3H

Just rediscovered this absolute gem for the ages - Matt Hancock describing to the poor ignorant "masses" who read The Sun why he was going on I'm A Celebrity www.thesun.co.uk/tv/20292691/...

The quotes on this are mostly a great collection of “hyper-literate Brits troublingly hostile to anything that might reach out to people who aren’t”.
