Boy am I glad we've got a Labour government that fucked over the NHS on drugs budget, and is now a handy excuse for the EU to do similar: www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

How is it reputational risk for someone to act out of conscience, but not for the CEO to completely blow it by firing them?! novaramedia.com/2025/12/04/d...

No.

Once more the Labour Party has done its best to reflect the values its voters (who hate the Labour Party) rather than its weird and unrespresentative membership. That's what being a real leader means.

You can tell this map was done by English people because they didn't even try with Ireland and Wales.

So many people believe in the magic labour tree

I dunno, man. I just dunno. How can we live in a society with an MP acting like this? Charlie Brown doesn’t have hoes, Farage isn’t like Polanski. Stop it, have some decency. You’re an MP. Act like an adult. You have an adult brain. You aren’t an idiot, stop acting like this.

will also add - yes, this is my personal crusade - that turning podcasts into videos implicitly asks women to once again make more effort than men, as the bar for "camera-ready" for one gender is obviously higher than for the other

Donald Trump has closed the FBI Headquarters and has moved it to a smaller building which it will have to share with other agencies including ICE. He is putting his ICE thugs in charge.

It still feels like people are underselling this Epstein scandal. The implications of the most powerful country in the history of human civilization being run by a cabal of child rapists are vast!

This is literally what the Telegraph campaigned for.

Brilliant cover story this week on the "senile belief system" of "Windsorism" by @willoyd.bsky.social:

The problem with Thatcherism is eventually the plebs have no money

It would be nice if a British leader could say the same: and stand up for London, it’s Mayor and the BBC at the same time

Good interview in the paper, this. I think Sadiq is right: London 'needs' to be less successful than it is for a bunch of political arguments here in the UK to work, hence the fictions being invented about it:

‘Perhaps one in ten West Papuans has been a refugee in the last five years. By clearing Indigenous people from their land, the TNI both eases the extraction process and seeds future conflict: displacement allows extraction which leads to further displacement.’ www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/de...

Lush's soap most of the money from which goes to funding Medical Services for Palestinians in Gaza. Let everybody know.

to be clear: Jesus also said denying help to the poor is rejecting God.

Hmmmmmm

Kyiv is celebrating Christmas. Residents of the capital gathered for caroling on St. Michael’s Square. I’m genuinely so happy that at least part of our country can gather like this - all thanks to the people defending us this Christmas.

Beautiful Christmas song from George. A wonderful singer who quietly supported good causes and gave a lot of his money to charity. Be more George and less Elon. youtu.be/l-xzyD00_fI?...

Warning. Leave several hours free after reading of the sordid lives of Andrew Windsor, Epstein, Maxwell and Trump. You'll need the time to shower and feel clean again.

The Embassy staff of Germany, France and the United Kingdom sing Schedryk in the Kyiv underground. Wonderful!

There will be a couple of launch events for Tonight The Music Seems So Loud next year, in different parts of the country, but the first will be at The Hay Festival on the afternoon of Saturday May 30th. Come along! We can talk about 80s hair! Songwriting! Immigration! Link via: sathnam.com/events

Staring in historian of Western imperialism...

Netanyahu's very vulnerable politically rn If the US is serious about Gaza phase 2, now would be the moment to push him. By end of March at latest countdown to Israeli elections starts And the Trump WH will have no time for this As I said: If the US is serious.

Oh, it goes deeper than that. The Christmas tree is actually a folk memory of the two trees of Valinor, whose pure light was captured in the Silmarils (Silmaril -> ilmaril -> irmarel -> ermarel -> ornamel > ornament)

This Christmas, please consider making a donation to UNRWA, the UN agency that plays a leading role in sustaining Palestinian life, in defiance of Israel's genocide and ethnic cleansing. donate.unrwa.org/int/en/general

Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

‘They don’t want statues to themselves in town squares, like Churchill, Attlee, Gladstone, or even Thatcher. They want the seven-figure salaries and jet-setting lifestyle of a Tony Blair or a Bill Clinton. You don’t get those by trying to re-nationalise water.’ 🔥🔥🔥🔥

If you want to hear, not me, but the normally mild-mannered @profafinlayson.bsky.social suggest that Britain might now be entering a pre-revolutionary phase, get your ears around this massive Christmas pressie of a Culture, Power, Politics Emergency Podcast. culturepowerpolitics.org/2025/12/24/p...

This Christmas remember there are 6,000 people with $16,000,000,000,000. They could give everyone on the planet $1000 for Christmas and it would be only half their money. Just 6,000 people, not even a small town.

i'm trying not to constantly post about it but all the shit about epstein is boiling my head cos it's not actually news. the media has completely failed in their role to make it clear the news here is the authorities were fully aware of both epstein and his network.

I was just reminded of this - how a felon and convicted sexual abuser stole money from children with cancer but enough USA citizens thought he was the sort of person who should lead their country that he is President FOR THE SECOND TIME www.forbes.com/sites/danale...
