The absolute shame of a Cork person describing the UK as "our great country." Fascinating, too, to so blithely erase your own immigrant positionality while spearheading anti-immigrant rhetoric and policy.

How extraordinarily fortunate for Wes Streeting that the only text messages he sent Peter Mandelson just happened to be exactly the sort of things other Labour MPs want to hear from a potential leadership candidate

Absolutely blows my mind that Starmer couldn't even get it together to fire McSweeny. He's the political equivalent of a tattered plastic bag caught on a fence.

Went out to get coffee at lunch today and in that short time I saw:
1. A tree branch on a car bonnet
2. A cup of coffee whipped off a table by the wind, tossed onto the pavement and spilling coffee as it went
3. A woman wearing shorts and flip flops.

I wish one of our illustrious political journalists or commentators - many of whom are excellent - would once in a while take a look at the absolute clown show that takes place in some our committees week on week, and maybe write a few words on it.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

I have something I call The Harry Redknapp Rule, which goes thus: if someone is caught, by fluke, doing something wildly, intricately illegal - in Redknapp's case, placing dodgy cash in a Monaco bank account in his dog's name - then it is vanishingly unlikely that this is their first such crime.
Do we think that a) Epstein is the only person Mandy was doing favours for? and b) Mandy is the only one doing favours for people?
Do we?
