Just for balance, every day of this government has been an opportunity to celebrate the cunts in the ERG not mattering any more, ever again.

There's something mesmerising about Badenoch's combination of supreme intellectual confidence and "Jesus? Didn't he play for Real Madrid?" command of detail.

It's like somebody spliced the certainty of Margaret Thatcher with the work ethic of Boris Johnson.

In a country where taking a plane is like catching a bus or train in the UK, the impact of government shutdown on air traffic might just be enough to get Republicans excited enough to end the shutdown - especially as a) it didn't help in the recent elections, and b) Thanksgiving is in sight...

It's increasingly obvious that Labour's strategy - call it Starmerism, Blue Labour, whatever - has got it badly wrong. It has alienated the party's core vote while failing to win over those leaning to Reform. There was no shortage of people warning them they were getting it wrong either.
Three years ago, Labour was polling in the 50s.

If Labour cannot denounce mass deportation of permanent residents, Idi Amin style, what is the point of them?

In the UK, we have a government who will complain about peaceful protests taking up valuable police resources while simultaneously complaining that the police shouldn't ban far right football hooligans with a history of violence and disruption from attending a match.

Johnson’s cull of MPs prepared to tell the truth about Brexit consigned the Tories to the absurdity & irrelevance they currently enjoy. The media’s pitiful complicity in & failure to explain this lets Farage move in to the vacated space despite embodying the stupidity & bigotry that did for them.

What an admirably clear statement from the Jewish Leadership Council, especially when all of those involved must surely have been dealing with so many other urgent challenges in safety, security and grief + shock today before having this further divisive and distracting intervention to address too.

The final question in this article is plain stupid. Biden had zero leverage over Israel during his final weeks in office, Netanyahu was always going to wait for the next president and see what he could get away with. It remains to be seen even if Trump has leverage...
For Netanyahu, avoiding a peace deal may now be worse than agreeing one
Trump is asking the Israeli PM to risk his government but dangling the prospect of a historic legacy, writes Lucy Williamson.

When I was a teenager there was a bus direct from my hometown in Germany to London - we had a British army base, and this direct bus connection was one of the benefits of that.

As @antwhite.bsky.social said, Land Value Tax is the most effective and progressive tax and avoids deadweight loss.

Also, if #LVT replaced income tax and possibly other taxes like VAT, it would end the housing crisis, raise living standards, and make the economy much more competitive.
