This is a politician who understands that this is not an indulgence, it's an investment. Every public space where you can have fun and not spend any money is probably more of a crimebuster than 100 cops.

The Assassination of It Coming Home by the coward Harold Kane

Yesterday the Telegraph reported on my comments about air conditioning. The comment section is quite something. I have apparently become a hero of the anti net zero crowd by saying something what I think is sensible about air con. Allow me to point out three ironies in this 🧵

Tuesday

Grateful to the Telegraph for providing the definitive answer to its own question, albeit in quite small letters.

@footballcliches.bsky.social @cdeccleshare.bsky.social Just heard the talks between Arsenal and Leicester, about the proposed transfer of Jeremy Monga, described as "very respectful".

Why "appears"? Spence didn't shake hands with Partey. Also, much more seriously,"pleaded not guilty to seven charges of rape" - no: "was charged and will be tried for seven charges of rape, which he denies", which is not the same thing at all. This is not balance, this is cowardice.

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

Just before the Brexit referendum vote, there were six weeks of sustained xenophobia from the British media, some of the worst I have ever seen. If many Leave voters want to pretend they weren’t seduced or enthused by that, then fine, but many of us witnessed it, and we won’t forget it.

Let’s not fudge why Starmer is in this mess. Yes, he didn’t have political instinct. Yes, the public is much less patient and more critical. But Starmer was also - to use his own phase - morally bankrupt on key issues of the day, from Gaza, disability benefits, to immigration.

Keir Starmer this morning accused his Labour predecessors of "moral bankruptcy" yet in truth it was his own moral failure to stand up against the forces of far-right hate targeting this country that ultimately led to his downfall bylinetimes.com/2026/06/22/k...

i think, if I tried to boil it down to a sentence, it'd be: "All politicians are hated by their opponents - but Starmer went out of his way to be hated by his supporters too."

40 years ago today...

This was Starmer’s response to racist riots with England-flag waving thugs trying to burn alive people who have been forced to stay in hotels for seeking asylum

Keir Starmer resigned as he governed - by lying his ass off.

Lets see how Sensible™ you think all this was when the documentaries in a decade start talking about you like homophobes in the 80s and Mosley's British Union of Fascists.

I don't feel sorry for Starmer. I feel for the Palestinians whose slaughter he enabled, for the trans people and refugees he's victimised, and my colleagues who've had their careers wrecked by Labour's assault on universities. A record to be ashamed of.

As the proud owner of a recently dead Dad, I loved Emma Hayes' shout-out to her departed old man. She's great.

Israeli occupation soldiers get killed in Lebanon Israeli politician: all of Lebanon must burn Get the f- out of my country you genocidal lunatics

most working class ppl aren't working down mines, on shipyards, or in factories britain is a service economy the blue haired queer barista at starbucks is more representative of the working class than whatever old fashioned stereotype @darrenpjones.bsky.social and his mates have in their heads

It's funny how the UK ban on kids' social media, which effectively lets publishers off the hook for the hate speech and radicalisation they publish and profit from, was largely driven by Mumsnet and its founder.

Ask every adult internet early adopter how we know

Don’t ban kids using YouTube. Make YouTube behave like a broadcaster. Pay creators. Reinvest in the creative industries. Pay fair tax back into creators’ economies. Follow guidelines on fair usage and copyright. Play fair. It’s bigger than TV now. Make it behave like TV.

Forget Cruyff, Gullit and Van Basten this is the best ever moment in Dutch football.

My friend took his family to see the Michael Jackson movie and his son claimed it was the greatest movie he’d ever seen but I’m a real MJ fan so I don’t believe the accounts of little boys

Can we finally get an apology from all the oh so sensible commentators who have spent the past ten years insisting Nigel Farage isn't part of the far-right

18 billion is "a few extra billion". 22 billion is "a financial black hole". It's not the inconsistency that kills you, it's the contempt.

"30 women have been murdered in Northern Ireland in the last six years - not one road was closed, not one protest. What was the connection? They were murdered by white locals."

If Muslims or members of the Asian and Black community had set fire to white people’s homes with children running for their lives, do you think we would be discussing legitimate concerns or focussing on who radicalised them and ideological and contributing cultural factors?

A statement from the Prime Minister correction of course not it's the Mayor of London.

@monisharajesh.bsky.social Came across this classic Ladybird book at work (school) today.

People can continue to rail against 'the Left' for producing the state the country is in, but at some point they are going to have to confront the fact that at no point in my entire lifetime has 'the Left' held political power in any way, and so responsibility for this lies at someone else's door.

I see that the Southampton rioters are once again proving to be the kind of decent, law-abiding, women-defending, pleasant stout yeomen of the shire we should be paying attention to.

Immigrants & asylum seekers are not our enemies. They are not responsible for the austerity, privatisation, erosion of civic life, thinning of democracy and concentration of power we suffer. But they're being punished for these things. Punished at the behest of the very people who *are* responsible.

Honestly I know its been said so much but compare how Labour crack down on pro-Palestine potests versus how they treat neo-nazi pogroms

“I mean, your society’s broken… Should we blame the rich, powerful people who caused it? No let’s blame the people with no power & no money & these immigrants who don’t even have the vote, yeah it must be their fucking fault.” —Iain Banks died #OTD, 9 June, 2013 www.theguardian.com/books/2013/j...
