I would like to go to the Malcolm X exhibition in New York, but ironically I don't want to be packed into the back of a van by ICE if I visit the US at this particular moment.

There's no patriot like a Monaco-based patriot.

‘Labour's relatively pro-European leader, has notably been rather cautious and rarely addressed the separation, paralyzed by the prospect of alienating working-class Brexit supporters….’ I’d rather a government of pro EU clarity and action, not a ‘paralysed’ one. www.lemonde.fr/en/opinion/a...

Thomas Tuchel is the only manager who hasn't been sacked (yet).

I always support the Jewish community, and I will stand by the Jewish faith to the hilt. It abhors me the daily injustices which are experienced by Jewish citizens - and we must all take a stand whatever our faith or not.

I've learned the Indian restaurant in my building has an easy online order form and I can just go and pick up my food without all the added costs of a delivery app and I think I'm just going to be eating curry forever now when I can't be arsed to make a lunch which is often goodbye.

The MacSweeney fusion of Blue Labour and Mandelsonian New Labour makes no sense to me. It is absolutely incoherent and Starmer lacks the political ability to pull it off. Killing off the Left certainly didn’t work. Dissenters aren’t always wrong.

He can’t afford to throw another tantrum today. He was always devoid of vision or strategy. He can barely keep his operations going. This political project is nasty and incompetent in equal measure.

The old saying goes— “if you come at the King, you’d better not miss.”

I strongly believe that education should never become a cash cow through expensive workshops or courses. Or else it becomes merely a tick biz exercise and potentially abuse of vulnerable people.

I get scared at the thought of anyone who has not done a proper management degree such as a MBA looking at the NHS England missive published today and thinking that's what management is. It's an intellectually void protocol designed to facilitate neoliberalism that's all.

I'd be amazed if she wasnt tbh

I think that the Labour Party is in serious trouble now.

2 more sleeps until Tay is no 1 hopefully. @itaherone.bsky.social

Ash Sarkar on splendid form tonight. #newsnight

I object to Starmer being called "a decent man", as regards his political career. His changes in policy and exclusion of members of Labour reveal a nasty, unprincipled, vehemently opportunistic streak which I simply cannot countenance.

Good luck for your next show @matthew-wright.bsky.social - it must be difficult to keep up with the news at the moment as it's going so fast.

You have to realise that I don't "need" to do anything in frailty or dementia. I have learnt a lot over the years, and cared a lot for my mum. I don't need to prove myself, nor to keep my ducks in a row to please people. If my critical gerontology offends you, sod off.

Chris Mason failing to point out that Ratcliffe's immigration numbers were untruthful

I will make my work data driven, operationally efficient and all other modes of bullshit led tomorrow.

Ooh a podcast?

Starmer shouting and losing it was not a good look. Petulant and out of control.

Almost every page of that book had me aghast. Starmer, McSweeney and the rest of them shouldn't just be out of government, they should be in prison.

“Politics is who does what to whom” Margaret Atwood It is essential that we understand the rhetoric and dialectics of English frailty and dementia policy.

This type of board game was previously not know to exist in Europe before the Middle Ages go.nature.com/3ZvJZ9f

The most egregious implication of the 'Fraud' hypothesis of the evolution of the Starmer project described by Paul Holden in his new book is that the strategy was bound to ramp up the intensity of anti-semitism - and I find this aspect the most abhorrent.

Good hecklers always appreciated 👏👏👏 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Getting reading to dive into #ToCatchaFascist by @letsgomathias.bsky.social

70,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza by Israel. This is Israel's military accepting Netanyahu's government lied...and on this the Hamas health authority told the truth. The genocide charge is strengthened. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Tottenham 1-2 Newcastle Boos ring out for Thomas Frank. Spurs have failed to win in their last 8 games in the Premier League. Their last longer winless streak was between May-October 2008 October 2008, a run of 9 games.

According to Starmer, Doyle and Mandelson were allegedly lying. I’m so glad that I never used a tool made by his father. #PMQs

Terrible performance from Starmer and excellent performance from the leader of the Opposition. #pmqs

Starmer’s Matthew Doyle answer unbelievably bad. #pmqs

I personally think despite Wilson and Blair that Labour itself is ungovernable especially since the acceleration into factionalism widely described, “the Labour Files”’, the misleading misnomer “Labour Together”, Starmer, Mandelson and McSweeney. An extremely nasty outfit.

I’m looking forward to this.

how interesting that the squalid hate maker Farage is linked with the Epstein horrors. he is a human who seems without love or kindness - Farage - and doubtless Epstein too preying on our difficulties - to make them worse and profit from them

Mandelson has made a career out of lying - Starmer outsourced his judgement to McSweeney. Fatal!

Watching Sarwar praising Starmer as ‘a friend’ while simultaneously plunging the dagger. It will bring them both down. Shakespearean stuff!

Thatcher began the erosion of local councils. Now they struggle to be little more than supplicants of the Treasury… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Streeting probably goes to sleep each night dreaming of waking up as Prime Minister…

Daisy Cooper, "The European Union is right on our doorstep and you just can't fight geography" "For the benefit of our country, to get Britain growing again so we can end the cost of living crisis, we have got to get a better deal with the European Union" #RejoinEU

I’m traumatised by watching the USA, and trembling for the UK as well. Here in NZ that white nationalism is entering our Overton window. You and I earned our spines the hard way. We must use that spine to hold a flame of hope against the smothering greed. It will be decades

Not just any journalist, she won the goddamn Triple Crown of broadcast journalism (an Emmy, a Peabody, and a Murrow) in 2024 for her reporting on Gaza. This is textbook censorship of the highest degree
