The endless column inches, YouTube videos, podcasts and more given over to the largely non-existent rightwards shift of young men is exhausting. A small fraction are getting radicalised by the online right. But most young men vote left and liberal! Even more so than millennials did at their age!

Incredible stuff from @wsj.com www.wsj.com/us-news/igno...

"Starmer will jump" talk speaks to mix of wishful thinking among breathless commentators and effort by contenders to write self-fulfilling narrative. Missing ingredient is political/personal dynamic. It's really something to be PM. They don't just up-sticks when skies darken. Remember John Major?

Reform is taking the UK towards Trump postmodernist chaos.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Trump's racist post depicting the Obamas as monkeys has been deleted, with the White House claiming "a staffer erroneously made the post." This comes after Karoline Leavitt defended the video, asking the public to "stop the fake outrage."

After latest release country should move on to Epstein trials.

Every American needs to watch this:

It's like a who's who of people who need to physically connect with a steel girder dropped from a significant height

The Trump administration would sanction Kaja Kallas if she did the same. Unacceptable foreign interference!

This is great. For the environment and people who want to buy GPUs at a lower price. All we need now is for the AI bubble to burst.

The urge to say go fuck yourself to Trump must be strong. Of course he'd love that.

I think it's going to rain and be gloomy forever. It's like Blade Runner but without the air cars

ICE at the polls! Bannon is basically yelling “fire” in a crowded theater here. His objective is to cause chaos (and suppress votes on the left). And it’s already working. This threat works on multiple levels and doesn’t have to be “real” to serve its purpose. Let me explain & offer some advice.

Been thinking about the whole Starmer/Mandelson thing but I think reports of Starmer's demise are extremely premature and overplayed. I think because the Tories were so dysfunctional we think it's normal to have a new PM every month. I'm not a big fan of him but let's be real.

Reminder that you should avoid all Nestlé products.

Not sure that Russian women are an outlier in the human trafficking sex trade. It's all needs looking into but blaming Russia for prominent, notable, rich men raping young girls seems... secondary. Not a sleight at Peter here.

Even without looking to see the moment, I know for a fact the answer is 'yes', because Norman Shaw South (where the leader of the opposition's office is) is absolutely riddled with mice, even by the standards of Parliament.

Alex Burghart MP has now called for a review of the circumstances around the award of Palantir's £240m defence contract, and asked why Mandelson's visit to Palantir's offices in Washington was kept off the books while the company was being represented by his firm, Global Council.

There's little real evidence here of what the Telegraph is reporting on. Just as many links to other countries including Israel.

One piece of good news for Mandelson this week... I can reveal the council is NOT taking any enforcement action against him for pissing in the street, due to a "lack of evidence"

Dan Kaszeta FRHistS My own experience, which is not inconsiderable, allows me to put out Captain Dan's Tear Gas Laundry guidelines. Specifically, this is for your street clothing that has been exposed to tear gas in smoke/aerosol/dust/particulate form. A small thread 🧵

I don't think Jim Pickard is a Nazi but the new angle of Musk Zieg Heiling seems fairly unambiguous. Also using the very conservative JC as a defence of view doesn't exactly help your cause.

The genocide never stopped.

Possible misconduct aka treason.

Mandelson committing treason is not something I had on my Epstein file bingo card.

In an otherwise utterly grim saga this is, I'm sorry, hilarious. Epstein, the recipient of Mandelson's leaks chides him for being indiscreet and betraying his bosses in his autobiography.

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

Putin just disrespected Trump by unleashing one of the most relentless attacks on Ukraine in this entire war, right after Trump publicly claimed he got Putin to agree not to attack. And she has the guts to call Biden weak? Seriously?

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control. “It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.

I can think of a few other politicians who have probably contravened this law in recent times.

Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever. Here is a blank sample warrant. Note who signs off on it; an "immigration officer."

In a return to the seventeenth century parliament may pass a bill of attainder or something so as to punish one person by primary legislation. Would be better just to have a general statutory scheme for any person in the position of the accused here, so that there may be independent due process.

I'm sorry but it's very funny to me that the legislature of a G7/P5 country of 70 million is currently drafting the "Fuck This One Guy in Particular Act of 2026." Also, imagine tolerating a system of privilege so entrenched you need to rewrite centuries-old rules just to get at one douchebag.

When Trump dissed allied troops’ contribution in Afghanistan, he touched an open wound in Britain over the ‘blood price’ paid for our relationship with the US markurban.substack.com/p/the-myth-e...

Mandalson should be in jail. Was Epstein a spy? Blackmailer? Both?

Cities are the last line of defense against federal encroachment and the first line of exposure through these systems, EFF’s @tsnvaa.bsky.social told @bridgemi.com. “Community members really need to be asking hard questions about where their data actually flows.” bridgemi.com/michigan-go...
