This is very silly. Does anyone really think the phrase in question "Post Milk Generation" designates low milk (as the Supreme Court has decided)? Rather than people who don't want to drink milk?

Given Wes Streeting's links with Mandelson and Palantir, both stronger than Starmer's, the question MPs ought really to be asking themselves is, if we replace Starmer with Streeting are we hopping out of the frying pan and into the fire?

It's only if your worldview - like that of grooming gangs - is that girls from poorer families are just disposable playthings for the rich that this is all a hilarious joke.

The relevance of what McSweeney believed in 2020 to Labour's 2024 victory is not clear to me. I'd guess Johnson, Truss, Covid corruption, Partygate had a lot to do with it. But what's happened since 2024 can be attributed to McSweeney. And the evidence of what he's done since then speaks for itself.
On the other hand I think the wrongest of takes is the idea that McSweeney was incidental to the election victory that was all but guaranteed because of Tory collapse. He built a formidable election campaign- and was literally the only person you could find in 2020 who thought Labour could win.

Against a corrupt, exhausted, unlucky Government, which under-estimated the threat from Reform, trying for its fifth General Election in a row, Morgan McSweeney delivered 33.7% of the vote. And he then made Starmer the most unpopular PM ever. That's the measure of the man's 'genius'.

Is Thiel calling out Greta Thunberg as an Antichrist figure to frame himself as a Christ figure? I think so.
Peter Thiel warns the Antichrist and apocalypse are linked to the ‘end of modernity’ currently happening—and cites Greta Thunberg as a driving example | Fortune
The Gen Z Swedish climate activist is a legionnaire of the Antichrist, Thiel claims, a “Luddite” who wants to halt technological progress in its tracks.

While banning social media seems like the easy solution, in fact it's letting Big Tech off the hook and placing the burden to protect themselves on children and families.

That's how we see it. What do you think?

Excellent work by Reform at Kent Council, who made a £40m saving by briefly proposing to spend £40m on something then deciding not to. Using this model, every Reform council can save £billions!

These figures show trans suicides amongst minors went from 5 and 4 per annum to (at least) 22. The only explanation for the media not reporting that four or five fold surge is because it doesn't want to. And it doesn't want to because its trans panic was a cause of that surge.
One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.

People currently spluttering that you can't criticise Starmer for things Peter Mandelson did are the same people who spent several years treating antisemitic tweets from anonymous 50-follower accounts like they were press releases direct from Labour head office.
