"Back down or we'll give you even more leverage"

It's always good to have a target market

I know this is going to shock everyone, but Goodwin’s piece defending the misrepresentations within his book also misrepresents the criticisms and fact checks of his book, as here. The expert does not confirm that Cicero says this.

It is with regret that I must announce that today I have, by mutual agreement, left Tottenham Hotspur.

Have to say that I think one thing Matt missed about Gorton and Denton is that the radical right is particularly attracted to people who appear to be winners and conversely appearing to underperform can unleash blood in the water.

You know those surveys that Ipsos runs of the public sometimes where they are like how many Muslims are there in the UK, to measure political ignorance? Could someone do that but for British right wing elites pls.

@thegoblinpoet.bsky.social @aremay.bsky.social dat drop tho

"Matt Goodwin does a poor job championing Great Replacement Theory, the uncontrovercially true and universally accepted purely factual observation that no one has ever contested." - The Critic

9) Here is the Hatozla NW Website. The loss of four ambulances will have a significant effect on their ability to operate. If you're able to donate something - anything - please consider it - hatzolanw.org Thank you. Thread ends.

This is the first time in four elections that the elected PM won't come from a party that didn't exist a few months prior to election day. Does tradition mean nothing to you, Slovenia.

I'm on leave next week. This is how I'm planning to commute when I get back.

As a 40 year old man, can confirm.

I don’t live in Israel I don’t have family in Israel I have never been to Israel but if I mention anything about being Jewish? well you’d better believe I’ve got to clarify that I don’t approve of Israel immediately stop conflating all of Judaism with Israel’s government but leftishly

Wife has spotted Hannah Spencer outside our local mosque for Eid this morning. Doing some sectarianism, I see.

Nick Clegg unveiled a portrait of himself at the National Liberal Club yesterday and it's hard to tell which one looks less like Nick Clegg, the portrait of Nick Clegg or the actual Nick Clegg

I swear to God the last ten years have been an incredible teaching aid in how dumb capitalism can be.

I think as well, frankly, as someone in the seat who spent a long time mulling over who to vote for standing Burnham would immediately make so many people think "well obviously Labour's going to win" they'd become the tactical voting choice immediately.

Fun to see how the erroneous predictions line up with how the crypto super PACs were spending. I've spoken before about how Polymarket — despite its PR claims about being more accurate than polls — is often a better signal of what crypto holders WANT to have happen.

Hearing the President is worried about straight allies.

wtf is this??

On herself, Sep. 2024: “I don’t have gaffes. I never have to clarify, because I think very carefully about what I say.” 😂

I do find it remarkable that Ireland is, to my knowledge, the only country in the world where the Head of Government is obliged to be out of the country on the National Day of the country they are nominally in charge of.

I'm frequently fascinated by how, across my lifetime, we've moved from "we're all middle class now" to being completely obsessed with the working class.

Crazy crazy story. Times of Israel reporter ( English language Israeli news site ) gets escalating death threats to change story that’s at center of big polymarket bet. www.timesofisrael.com/gamblers-try...

When things are going great

Real ‘something for everyone’ feel to the French first round municipal election results. Everyone gets to be a bit happy and a bit disappointed. Obviously, not much for Macron, though a close Renaissance second place behind the incumbent Green in Bordeaux sets up a potential upset there.

The thinner Bart de Wever gets the worse he is. RETVRN.

it’s beautiful to think One Battle inspired a whole new generation to read Thomas Pynchon’s wikipedia page

How are voters moving between parties since July 2024? (Ipsos)

there’s something seriously wrong with this guy

If Arsenal win the title it will be so very on brand that that they do it while putting half my timeline through a huge roller-coaster of emotions.

The straits are not ok.

Everywhere I go, I see his face

Oh good, this should make it easier to end quickly.

The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit

One journalist is still unafraid to tell it like it is.

As a man who needs to remortgage in November BOOOOO

Noting down 'Ed Davey hates badgers'

Iran is a country that the West keeps trying to interfere with in ways that make it seem as if we don't give a crap about Iranians and then we wonder why they are mad with us.

I love her so much. When she stops being Tory leader we should construct a Goodbye Lenin esque false world in which we convince her that actually she's PM just so we can watch what she does.

This is what happened when the Greens won the Gorton and Denton by-election.

My answer to the trolley problem is: That’s not a trolley, it’s a tram. No, what you call a tram is a cable car. No, what you call a cable car is probably a funicular. Oh, while we were sorting out these important points, the railed vehicle has passed the points. Yes, they are points, not a switch.

My two party system, it is very sick.

i heard they've been sending each other Stephen Bush's tweets

Everytime Trump does this I just imagine Carney's approval ticking up another couple of points.
