And your lies Dan, your lies.

Jesus Christ. We go mad about one bloke we wrongly released, yet hear next to nothing about this horror? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

'There really is a cost to this approach of limping budget to budget' @helenmiller.bsky.social is joined by @benzaranko.bsky.social and Carl Emmerson to assess the public finances ahead of the November budget on the latest episode of our podcast. 🎧 Listen here: ifs.org.uk/articles/bud...

There is a underrepresentation of men in gilets and quarter zips in TV advertising.

That's why I have "there's too many black people in adverts" as one of the most hands-down racist klaxons there is, short of violence or Nazi iconography. There's no pretence of a policy issue there, no tapdance of "legitimate concerns". It's just pathetic melanin whinging.

Hadn’t, in truth, really absorbed the scale of what the Conservatives are proposing on ILR and immigration more broadly until this week’s Sunday Times interviews. Some thoughts on that in today’s note:

Has Katie Lam mentioned the stuff in museums that was given indefinite leave to remain? Is that being sent home?

'Get rid of the migrants or I'll become a migrant' is quite the argument

Let's not humour those advocating deportation of UK residents with reasons why their plans would not work. Keep it simple, this is not the action of a civilised country. If needed, this will mean complete chaos and destruction of international reputation.

I can’t remember where I read it but someone was writing about people’s differing experience of law enforcement. Pour coffee down a drain and three hobby bobbies fine you £150 and yet the perception is of no action taken against shoplifting or fare evasion on public transport.

Imagine how many would join up if he appeared on QT 53 times (?)...like Farage.

This, this, this. If journalists don’t scrutinize this and explain it properly now then they have failed on their duty and will bear a share of the blame if such policies are enacted (most of the public oppose them and don’t I think realise what is being proposed yet).

By rights, Farage’s shilling for Putin should have disqualified him from UK politics. He knows it, and is now trying to spin what he has said previously. Fortunately, @sturdyalex.bsky.social has kept the receipts. Please do listen and, importantly, share. @quietriotpod.bsky.social

TIL that the North Korean embassy is by the North Circular Rd in Gunnersbury.

you must remember 07, little subprime lenders getting in shit, one after the other, each one shrugged off as idiosyncratic. That memory is still fresh over here...

Me: I just want a quiet breakfast in town, I’ll avoid Mayfair…..40mins and three different HF guys later.

The return of #moyeenstie 2025 evening edition.

But if he looked in the mirror he’d see a bigot

Next time Farage or one of his mates is on Question Time getting applause for stopping/reversing immigration, may I suggest the following riposte: 'Everyone who just applauded needs to think hard what they were applauding. Without significant immigration, this country will become a catastrophe.' /1

How it started vs how it’s going: Pogacar edition 2025 Pog: “Hang that in the fkn Louvre”

@pelamity.bsky.social Mont Kigali and Muur de Kigali are max ciclismo

I’m deeply concerned about recent racist attacks in our capital city.

An absolute legend www.loudersound.com/bands-artist...

I can report that there are three swans in Canary Wharf, they have not been eaten by illegal immigrants.

Reality TV now shapes news coverage

Has the British Embassy issued a rebuttal?

This is a lifetime mission, vision of prison Aight listen In this journey you're the journal I'm the journalist Am I Eternal? Or an Eternalist?

Is The Rapture like Brexit?

Kippers or kedgeree for breakfast but it has to be on the St James’s side of Mayfair.

This is really gorgeous. And that crackling fire…

@pelamity.bsky.social CICLISMO

This has got to be the greatest individual time trial ever ridden

We hear so much negative stuff about Rwanda but the scenery and crowds in Kigali are 😍😍😍😍 #uci #cycling

I’m not saying I’ve been radicalised by social media but this is how I left the controls on the toaster.

This. 1000 times this. It’s like we don’t count.

In London, hate will never win.

Purely as it has the most unrealistic govt bond auction ever.

🧵👇 👊👊👊

@pelamity.bsky.social ciclismo is back tonight

Banksy BlueSky is compelling stuff

Pensioners and Quakers, those well known threats to public order

We are arresting pensioners on terrorism charges?!?!
