My “I was never a close friend of Peter Mandelson” column is raising a lot of questions answered by my column.

Small Prophets was good and sweet and sad in the ways you might have expected it to be. I liked it a lot.

Also fuck the Guardian for letting this little weasel publish his lies.
It’s practically a work of art that he thinks we’re all that stupid.

How extraordinarily fortunate for Wes Streeting that the only text messages he sent Peter Mandelson just happened to be exactly the sort of things other Labour MPs want to hear from a potential leadership candidate

Small Prophets, the new series from Mackenzie Crook, co-starring Pearce Quigley and Michael Palin, starts tonight at 10pm on BBC Two. It's the @radiotimes.bsky.social Pick of the Day.

You could see how fucked they were from Scotland in 2015: all it took was for a slightly more palatable party to emerge on their left, and they were instantly fucked into orbit. The entire time since was them screaming abuse, drumming their heels, pointing fingers and refusing to accept reality.
I think this is correct that the end of Mandelson and McSweeney really marks the terminal decline of the Labour Party, a death long foretold. The political debate now is what might arise from the wreckage.

Honestly can’t wait for the inevitable moment something like emails or texts from McSweeney come out or he actually does an interview or something and we all find out that of course this “genius” sounds like a fool, it’s inevitable

Unsurprisingly, of no particular community. Never much of a joiner.
Interesting these little clusters that are tight, but isolated - like the one near the Green cluster, which is hunt sabs, if you zoom in.

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books.
She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it.
It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

"Full speed ahead to uber-woke, net-zeroist rejoinerism" is the funniest thing a Labour MP has said for some time I'll give it that. It's like a Jordan Peterson quote about Elmo.
Yes, god help we risk a floundering government that feels like no one is in charge.
