Well Mandelson has lost his job, now questions about Starmer. It’s effectively a prosecution by media.

Sure, if you don’t question the reliability of trials conducted by the company producing the product (see below). I think we would want to see many more independent trials before we could be confident in your projections.

This administration are picking up brown ppl off the street for no reason, detaining them w/o trial or charge and then deporting them to foreign gulags. 60k ppl in detention!? I mean, at what point is someone going to say or do something? Did 60 yrs of #Hollywood WWII movies not resonate?! #ICE

I’d love to disagree with him, but even though I like some of the artists, it pales in comparison to the festivals of the 90s (several bands are on both posters 🙄)

Agree to a large extent. But for nuance, this is worth a read ….

Just one point of clarification @newsagents.bsky.social. Professors at elite institutions in 🇺🇸 will typically be paid 2x and upwards of their equivalents, especially at Oxbridge—where they pay particularly poorly. So there are big economic factors acting against academics fleeing.

Sorry @economist.com but when your headlines are this dumb, I just can’t read the article. If you think sinking $175bn into a threat that is nonexistent, rather than feeding the poorest individuals in society, well—and I hate to put it so bluntly—your morals are fucked. #Goldendome

Stunning headline/admission from #bbc. Free speech advocates will be up in arms about and institution trying to silence someone—oh no they won’t will they, bc Linekers speech should not be free, according to them.

Who is this guy? And how is it possible to write so confidentially about something he clearly knows so little about?

Is there a more obvious way to begin your hatchet job than this “Like most people, I haven’t tuned in to Have I Got News For You for years.” Pathetic.

This episode of @nytimes.com ‘The Daily’ is truly fucking horrendous. It’s like an experiment in how we would report the Holocaust if it were to happen today. I can’t quite believe how chilled out ppl in the #usa are about this. #cecot

This might be the best example of journalistic malpractice I’ve seen in the present context. To let someone layout a fascist policy agenda based on the most flimsy of claims and unevidenced assertions is quit something. What happened @nytimes.com ? Shameful. @mehdirhasan.bsky.social

If I understand correctly, study eligibility was individuals who had been previously suspended — from which subsequently excluded and non-excluded were compared. That seems fairly reasonable no?
