One of the most consistent principles in his life is to become unbelievably partisan in every conflict he encounters, and then to win the conflict using a barrage of extreme verbal force.

Q: Are you going to approve the sale of F-35s to Turkey?

My Nan once got escorted away by Dominic Littlewood's manager because she kept interrupting him filming a link for Don't Get Done, Get Dom thinking he was Greg Wallace.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

This is very unfair of Jake, there is absolutely no chance Kemi is aware that this is going on.
The Tories’ Shadow Attorney General, Lord Wolfson, is representing Roman Abramovich in a legal case that is delaying the transfer of £2.5bn of assets to benefit the people of Ukraine.
I’ve written to Kemi Badenoch about the conflicts of interest this raises. 👇

Having known Harwood at uni and been quite bemused that he's succeeded in pretending to be "normal" it's gratifying to watch what little brain there was finally leak out of his ears.
Maybe Brits’ energy prices are going up so much because the suppliers are having to spend a fortune fixing gas leaks in right-wing houses.

It's interesting to see Truss return to her Marxist roots and commit to a dialectic so rigorous she is at war with the person she was yesterday, who is a clown and a coward.
Truss's comments about the Alaa Abd El-Fattah case are in contrast to her words in 2022, when she told MPs she was 'working hard' to secure his release

I do appreciate Kemi's avante garde approach to opposition
It seems surprising that the Shadow Attorney-General Lord Wolfson is able to combine being on Roman Abramovich's legal team in such a high profile case about the frozen assets of a key Putin ally, while also attending the Shadow Cabinet (The Times)

Silicon Valley managed to create a run on their own bank without even needing AI. These are not serious people.
Lol… non-zero chance that one day this scenario will actually happen, not necessarily JPM but that an AI hallucination starts a market crash
meanwhile on excks dot com, grok is telling people that JPM failed because of a short squeeze in silver

Ridiculous that these posts weren't found earlier. Feels an FCDO screw up given recent Tory govts were similarly vocal about this guy's release. If nothing forthcoming from him that genuinely demonstrates he's changed his views then no basis for him to be in the UK
Since no-one appears to be talking about it on here, just letting you know that the the PM, Foreign Secretary and various other Government Ministers have expressed their “delight” in an Egyptian “pro-Democracy” activist being freed in Egypt and allowed to come to the UK. Here are some of his views.

I am trying, really trying, not to get angry but it is genuinely unbelievable how much of our current woes you can put down to "the Conservative party thinks only in a 2 day media cycle and acts accordingly." A party gleefully smashing up the hotel room then asking whose room it is.
Shamima Begum was the beginning of something in so many ways, one of which was 'the last government's inability to just do its job properly (in this case by passing legislation that would have allowed it to prosecute her here at home) and instead going 'no option but to undermine all our rights'.
There should be literally no circumstances, ever, where citizenship is can be revoked. If you literally sign up to fight for an opposing army in a war, then we should prosecute you for treason not revoke citizenship

Hell, I'm not convinced we should revoke citizenship at all.
But certainly not for being a twat online.

So the Hard Right position is that you should only have to suffer the consequences for tweets inciting racial hatred if you're name is...oh I don't know...Adbel Fattah? If your name is Lucy Connolly and you admit to doing it, you should get a parade actually.

It's a nice contrast with Labour in 2010 leaving a sarcastic note alongside a generally improving state to have a party leaving a horrific calamity and overwhelmingly sincere denial.
It's almost compelling in a way just how committed the Conservatives are to their 'we handed over a great legacy! The country just collapsed completely in summer 2024', something which visibly is not working for them and never will work for them:

My boss is Lebanese, and has decided that I should be more Lebanese, so he is teaching me Arabic and other idiomatic points.
He is also, due to travel, the person I spend the most time with.
The net output is that I am now (a white man, living in Camden) peppering my speech with Arabic words.
