The VCs bros have convinced themselves they are on some moral crusade. They will be behind the scenes trying to cling to power in the midterms and beyond.
Side note, they are also the biggest bunch of dorks

No argument from me, but before we move on to screwing the next dickhead into the leader’s chair, can we pause and ask: how come Britain’s best paid politics-understanders spent over five years telling everyone who would listen this obviously weird dork was a shit hot political operator?

Literally going mad and then subsequently doing irrational and unacceptable things is the side of mental illness that society has not yet started to understand.

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.

Nope, it’s been all wagons circled, all guns pointing outwards together since at least the student austerity protests. Elite solidarity needs no sales pitch. What has failed here is the same thing that failed in Johnson’s tenure: it is *embarrassing as fuck*, and that makes everyone look very bad.

In an attempt to maintain balance, the BBC is letting obvious lies go unchallenged.

What's the outcome that terrifies Labour most in the Gorton by-election?
Reform winning?
Nope. It's the Greens they're most worried about.
They'd prefer Reform to win, rather than the Greens.

This is the problem, I think: the political class did not understand they were insanely lucky to have a straight up genius of the bullshitter’s art coinciding with peak neoliberal expansion, and they assume that can be recreated. Nope! You had your shot with this, and you chose to spend it on wars.
This is what happens when your idea of baseline politics is Tony Blair - a generationally remarkable bullshit artist who for a few years managed to sell exactly this stuff as bold, radical and visionary, a feat nobody can now repeat.

There is only one "highest points given 21" here, and it was me.
My only other scorers being 18 for Lily and 16 for Rosalia, which weirdly is exactly what two others must have given Lux.
Certainly got my calculations right on the single figure albums, i.e. they didn't have a sniff!

The BBC, which should be the best of the best for international reporting for UK audiences, has at least made it the lead item, but look at the false balance!

Minnesota's governor has criticised their account as "nonsense".’

One problem that Americans have to get past is that this *is* who they are.
It’s not an aberration - this is what the US society is.
All that time kidding yourself about being the greatest nation on earth you have been murdering your own citizens and those in other countries.

When you uncritically publish untrue lines from a gvt pr team & give people the option of either believing that & getting on with their day or having to watch a snuff video to sherlock all the discrepancies, you're definitely skewing people towards the much easier & less upsetting 'swallow the lie'
