Things the UK media aren’t talking about enough:
- Palantir
- Epstein files revelations that don’t involve Andrew Windsor or Peter Mandelson
- Reform omnishambles (Farage/Bannon democracy smashing, telling people they can’t work from home whilst leader works from home, counsellor racism).

Ratcliffe is, quite obviously, factually, morally & intellectually wrong about immigration. But his racist comments will be 'both-sided' everywhere because people who simply don't like seeing non-white faces aren't ashamed to say so anymore.

Young guy on train playing music without headphones obnoxiously loudly. Older guy taps him on the shoulder and says ‘excuse me could you turn that down a bit, thank you’ and he says ‘I am gonna turn it down but because I want to, yeah, not because you told me’.

I can’t believe how easily working class readership of right wing papers can be persuaded to hate the idea that they and their own children should have the same access to higher education as wealthy people and their kids have. *claps hands* WAKE UP, PEOPLE, THIS IS CLASS WARFARE.

And thus Reform’s claims that they are wildly popular amongst young men are proved conclusively to be utter, utter bollocks (as, not meaning to be smug, I have told you for quite some time).

The government have said that protecting Jewish people from racial hatred is a priority. So I am sure the explicitly Nazi group who marched in the midlands this weekend will be prescribed as a terrorist organisation. Even though they’ve never criticised Israel.

Just listening to Emily Maitlis’ story on @newsagents.bsky.social about how Mandleson belittled and mocked her after she asked him about potential connections with Russia in an interview. Dissing Maitlis shows a baked-in lack of respect for women IMO - open.spotify.com/episode/0Tqo...

The moral panic about young men is the new version of “UKIP is winning over former Labour voters” (also a Goodwin argument). Both rely on anecdote more than data, and do significant damage to public understanding of the radical right. Young men are the second *least* pro-Reform group in the UK.

Nothing to see here. Just the Times Magazine trying to rehabilitate Mandleson’s image. Totally normal and understandable. I mean, who of us has not shared highly sensitive government information with the world’s most prolific pedophile?

Every time the White House backtracks or deletes something because of pushback, it just proves to me that those losers are still terrified of backlash. This is a good thing. We can use that.

Just something to think about the next time you use Chap GPT.
The United Nations have warned that in less than 2 years we are heading to a fresh water crisis which will likely result in water rationing. AI use is accelerating this. The makers of AI won’t stop cos they’ll be last to be hit by the water crisis. They’ll watch as we fight for vital resources.

This is really cringey listening BUT the prime minister actually allowing journalists from lots of different media outlets into the room and trying to answer their very hostile questions does at least show we’re not yet the United States.

The so-called ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally meanwhile not mentioned.
On what basis is Keir Starmer claiming that you ‘often’ see antisemitic banners at the marches for Palestine, right now? My understanding is that there were a few, but journalists had to work quite hard to find them….

The world seems quite divided at the moment between those of us who are panicking and those who seem determined not to. The latter may be suffering from normalcy bias. I wrote a Substack about it and the damage it does -
