The cover for the book of The Neverending Story by Michael Ende. It depicts a cartoon style white dragon twirling and flying around a blue mountain with a silhouette of a boy riding on its back. On the base of the illustrated mountain there's an open book with a silhouette of a horse. The illustrations of the book cover is also filled with stars.

I dont think Starmer is going to survive the week. I don't have any sympathy because he was buried under his own factional hubris and political stupidity.

This series of articles by Peter Oborne is so spot on - withering about McSweeney - and his obsessive focus on party politics, scheming and tactics, at expense of policy conducive to the national interest - and in process ultimately ruining Starmer’s govt.

The lads diplomatically explain that if McSweeney goes, Starmer has to go too. I’ll explain why, more bluntly: this project minus Mandelson and McSweeney is like The Scooby Doo Show, without Shaggy and Scooby. Nobody thinks Scrappy Doo is the star.
February Labour MPs are turning on Starmer over Mandelson Daily Politics Daily Politics from the New Statesman > - ٠١٠٠٠ • 3m 贝 Keir Starmer has been grilled in the Commons on his decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador, despite knowing his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein continued after the financier's conviction in 2008. Starmer pledged to release the vetting documents relating to Mandelson's appointment, but argued that some details would need to be redacted on national security grounds. This angered backbench MPs who, along with former deputy leader Angela Rayner, forced the PM into another humiliating climb down. Will anger in the party force Keir Starmer out?

Bringing this over from Threads. Anyone know anything?!
Screen shot of a Facebook post: Terri Brisbin 10h I've been asked about the rumors about Harlequin/Mills&Boon's Historical line closing down. Sadly, it true. Authors in the line were told yesterday but we're in shock at this point and still sorting through contract questions, etc. The last Historicals will release in English in September 2027 (spine date October 2027). All backlist books will continue on-sale and foreign languages will continue too. I've written for them since 2000 and i think the book i just turned in was my 35th for them. It's a shame the line never got the promotion or narjeting that other lines did and that it was nearly invisible to readers. But, at least our fabulous stories will still be available to readers. I hope you'll still give us a try!

Just occurred to me that Faiza Shaheen was almost certainly stopped from standing for election on the say-so of one of Epstein’s inner circle. As were many other excellent left-wing candidates.

Every one of Labour’s 2024 intake is tainted by this. Morally, they should all stand down.
jimcaris.bsky.social Jim Caris @jimcaris.bsky.social · 5d
The MPs who will choose the next Prime Minister once Starmer inevitably resigns were hand-picked by friend of Jeffrey Epstein, the serially disgraced Peter Mandelson.

Expect them to force Mandelson's protege Wes Streeting on us.

One has to wonder now how much this was driven by his desire to do the billionaires a solid and sink the left-led Labour Party vs how much guaranteeing a hard Brexit would benefit his financier chums.

YEEEEEES. As a huge fan of both horror and romance, explain to me how "tormented or quirky detective solves a crime" is less of a trope than a final girl, or enemies to lovers. And I like those shows!

The assumption that all romance is trash for dumb people who like formulas -- that's still a thing in TV & film. A big thing. Also, like, I'm sorry, but a middle or upper class man is an asshole and is doing crimes or solving crimes? That's not a genre? MORE formulaic than a romance? HILARIOUS

I just want to remind people that when we talk about creating a "British ICE" and a concentration camp as somehow copying America, we already had the previous Tory government set up a concentration camp run by British military personnel for asylum seekers rapidly shut down after legal battles.
ayoub.bsky.social elia ayoub @ayoub.bsky.social · 14d
The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.

It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.
The Legislation Upon winning a general election, a Reform government under Prime Minister Nigel Farage will: 1) Leave the ECHR 2.) Repeal the Human Rights Act and replace it with a British Bill of Rights. 3.) Pass The Illegal Migration (Mass Deportation) Bill: This Bill will: Create a legal duty to remove illegal migrants for the Home Secretary The Bill opens with a blunt obligation for the Home Secretary: "The Secretary of State shall ensure the removal from the United Kingdom of each person who does not have extant leave to remain and is not an Irish citizen or otherwise protected by regulations made under this Act." The following parts of the legislation are introduced on an emergency basis, with an in-built sunset clause after 5 years: Disapply the 1951 Refugee Convention, the UN Convention Against Torture, the Council of Europe Anti-Trafficking Convention (ECAT) Derogation is justified under the Vienna Convention doctrine of state of necessity: Britain faces a national emergency in which uncontrolled illegal migration undermines public order. These treaties will otherwise be used by activist judges to frustrate deportations, even after the repeals of the HRA and ECHR. Create Detention Power Without Hardial Singh Constraints This means illegal migrants can be detained until they are deported. Activist lawyers routinely use Hardial Singh to secure their client's bail, after which the client absconds. If you came to the UK illegally, you are ineligible for asylum. End of story All asylum claims will become inadmissible if made by a person within the Act's scope. If you came to the country illegally, you are ineligible for asylum in the UK. This strips the Home Office, the immigration tribunals and the higher courts of jurisdiction to even consider claims. A claim that cannot be considered cannot suspend removal and therefore, cannot delay a flight. Re-entering after deportation and destroying ID becomes a serious criminal offence Re-entry after deportation will be… The Operational Plan We will create an enforcement unit called UK Deportation Command, including an Illegal Migrant Identification Centre - harnessing cutting edge data fusion A Reform government will create a cutting edge enforcement data centre to relentlessly identify and detain all illegal migrants in the UK. Using powers granted by the new legislation, it will automatically share data between the Home Office, NHS, HMRC, DVLA, banks and the police. It will power bulk warrants, including mandatory biometric capture during any police encounter. Each power addresses a failure mode observed over the past decade - for example, banks and GP surgeries unaware of a customer's status, or overstayers slipping through because a warrant covered only a single property. Secure Immigration Removal Centres (SIRC) will be built rapidly to detain up to 24,000 Detention capacity for up to 24,000 will be created within 18 months. The Home Office will build Secure Immigration Removal Centres. This will be modular accommodation built in remote parts of the country. Conditions are basic but not punitive: prefabricated two-person rooms, canteen catering, on-site medical suites. Robust perimeters and internal movement controls prevent escapes. This enables detention-on-arrest: no more bail. This capacity would allow for up to 24,000 illegal migrants to be deported per month. Initial Voluntary Return Window A six-month Assisted Voluntary Return window precedes large-scale raids. Illegal migrants will be offered a financial incentive to self-deport. An app will be launched to facilitate this. The Deportation Flights The Home Office will scale up charters to 5 flights per day. To guard against last-minute aircraft unserviceability, the RAF will keep one Voyager aircraft on six-hour 'hot-spare' readiness. If a commercial charter breaks down, detainees can still be flown out that night, preserving operational integrity. The legal reset will mean activist lawyers will no longer be able preven…
