This is worth watching in toto. And though I am loath to single out any politician given the existential threats of Russian interference in Ukraine our democracies, @danjarvismp.bsky.social’s grasp and reach and generosity on this issue is stunning.

Something magnificent about Kemi Badenoch's self-confidence, and her claim that the Mandelson affair is entirely down to her asking questions at PMQs. Like a toddler who thinks their plastic steering wheel is controlling the car.

Jeff Bezos makes enough money to fully fund this literally every two minutes.
Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.

One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.

McSweeney going is excellent news. It doesn't fix any problems by itself, but it is the precondition for fixing those problems.

They looked for “Don T” in the Epstein files and redacted all instances, which means they also redacted a lot of “don’t”

I don't know for sure, but I'd bet that Mandelson was a key figure lobbying for Labour NOT to hold a proper inquiry into Russian interference in our elections. His closeness to Deripaska and others would have come out

I've just seen the most jaw-droppingly racist video reposted here, apparently a screen grab of a social media post by Trump. Even reposting it probably puts the poster in legal jeopardy as in most European jurisdictions it surely qualifies as a hate crime so people, be careful and sensible.

Labour kept Reform out of Clevedon South by only 16 votes!

Tactical voting is vital in close elections like these, thank you to the supporters of other parties who voted for Labour this time to stop Reform.
Our latest tactical voting advice to stop Reform:

Local by-elections 5th Feb 2026

🟢 Ynys Gybi = PLAID CYMRU
🔴 Clevedon South = LABOUR

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Are the Lib Dems on crack? Can’t see Cardiff being anything other than Plaid Cymru or Labour scraping through at the Senedd Elections. This chart is fanciful at best!

This is new to me. We knew that Epstein was working with Kremlin official Belyakov to circumvent sanctions post Crimea, but his eagerness to help Putin beat the West predates that

What is rarely acknowledged is that these people are just fundamentally dull human beings.

Obsessed with money, status and fashion but utterly devoid of charm or intellect or even a sense of humour.

3 days before my birthday, and to be honest, I'm at my lowest.
We just got quite a disappointing update on our immigration case.
It's not a rejection yet, but the chances don't look good.
My savings are running out, and we can't work in France.
So I'm going to run a big originals sale on my b-day ❤️‍🩹

Good luck to all the film critics competing today to write the most hilariously savage review of Melania. May the best person go viral
