In 1622, when the Ottoman Sultan Mustafa I was supposed to be returned to power after years of imprisonment, he instead barricaded himself in his room and refused to come out, telling court officials "I do not want to be the Sultan".
Not sure what made me think of that.

"It's structural" "would any of the replacements be better?" - it really is just this simple, that the government would be better if it had a prime minster.
This is just pro-Starmer self-soothing frankly. Literally any of the plausible replacements are obvious upgrades.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Politics is an even worse spectacle when they all start going off about a subject you actually know something about. Makes you wonder how clueless they must be about all the other stuff they pontificate about.
Iain Duncan Smith says when Maccabi played a game in Istanbul there was no trouble at all
@ianbyrnemp.bsky.social had to point out UEFA moved the game to Hungary after the Turkish authorities refused to stage it &the Hungarian authorities then played it behind closed doors. Hence no trouble

If Keir starmer really wants to prove he’s not antisemitic he’ll riot with Maccabi Tel Aviv. Anything less he may as well be Hamas.

Common ground and shared goals are important.
But here's the thing.
If my starting point is "let's be nice to everyone" and yours is "let's deport all the browns and create a white supremacist ethnostate,"
...then I've got to be honest, I'm not really sure it's my job to put the work in here!

God its so disingenuous to pretend that all CK did was “have horrible opinions”. The man co-founded an organization that’s sole function was to fight tooth and nail to indoctrinate children at school into violent white nationalism. He wasn’t even just a pundit. He was ceo of the baby Nazi factory.

Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs.

Hulk Hogan Was a Racist, Liar, and Scab
In the 1980s, the professional wrestler portrayed himself as an all-American hero—but he was really a “jabroni” the entire time.

Starmer confirms in PMQs that the government will be looking at “the threshold” on winter fuel payments “as part of the next fiscal event.”

@knoxharrington.bsky.social have you guys ever done a stat dive show into what happens to Trent's workload when he's not playing? Like who covers his progressive passes/play switching etc. if anyone does.
Feels like it's not in Bradley's locker, and unlikely to be found in the RB market either.
