Great, thanks. If we go light on the Jimmy Saville part, I wouldn’t complain, because it could dwarf everything else.

Identify seats with vulnerable Labour MPs, pull up their records on Gaza and tell their voters, “If you vote for us, you can hold them accountable by kicking them out of office and making sure someone like them never comes back. And we’re coming for the others next time.” @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Starmer is done. Its Flint's job here to guff and blunder an excuse for the PM and Gov. Instead she point blank refuses to do it. Cooked.

Amabel Holland has designed board games that tackle the struggle to end slavery, women’s suffrage, and the highly personal topic of gender transition, referring to them as “political art.” What can board games say that other art forms can’t?

If you want an effective campaign messaging for a nascent left-wing party that could both capture and channel the energies and emotions of the current moment, in my opinion, you couldn't do much better than, "Imagine how good it'll feel to make all of these empty suits and their media mates LOSE."

With the guy who lost Scotland and the woman who lost to the Greens in Bristol. What are the chances that any of the ideas discussed include things 'the fleas' actually want?

Make or break, if this guy doesn't get the boot then Your Party is dead before it starts.

At the beginning of August I attended Gen Con, as I usually do. This year was different. This year, I participated in an adapted megagame of John Company: Second Edition alongside 50 other people. It was insane. It was brilliant. My thoughts on the event: playerelimination.com/2025/08/25/a...

@patrickwyman.bsky.social A stupid person to be compared to really one of the 'great men' but it makes me think what Octavian was able to do at 18/19 years old. Caesar era advisors under appreciated in what they were doing on his behalf?

Our official response:

"It's a good moment for the party to clarify that we're challenging an unpopular Labour government,” says Mr Polanski. “We are not there to collaborate with them. We’re not there to be disappointed or concerned about them. We are there to replace them.” www.economist.com/britain/2025...

Reviewers including No Pun Included and Shut Up & Sit Down are boycotting Codenames publisher CGE for releasing a new Harry Potter-themed game while ignoring JK Rowling’s anti-trans rhetoric: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20...

I wrote something new for History Respawned today. It's a review of a new book about Red Dead, but it's really about academic writing and historical game studies as a field. Please read, but also know, I really really really really REALLY didn't want to write this review.

Rotten cruelty. At home and abroad. Hell really isn't hot enough.
