I didn’t write about the cotton famine. I’m not a dialect poet. Thoughts about stuff, I suppose.

If you spot the “pure English blood” preacher Goodwin outside your house, he might even fraudulently Photoshop a Reform UK poster onto your window - then all your friends and relatives will think you’re a Reformmoron. #UKPolitics

Starmer slams Trump:
"Trump deployed words on Chagos yesterday that were different to his previous words of welcome and support when I met him in the White House... for the express purpose of putting pressure on me and Britain in relation to my values and principles on the future of Greenland."

It's also all a bit...'Franz Ferdinand's assassination an embarrassment for the 'Visit Sarajevo' tourism campaign', it is certainly *true* but it is missing the point.
also, side note, but why are these deranged outbursts by a deranged racist & misogynist ‘embarrassing’ for Starmer, who’s trying to prop up a security alliance in the face of madness, and not ‘embarrassing’ for the journalists working on these stories who’ve done so much to sanewash Trump?

Dangerous Child. Keir not exuding authority. Is this real?
Worst case of tiny dick compensation syndrome I've ever seen. That or Putin phoned him up and said my country's bigger than your country.

People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

The Reform pitch is increasingly “the last government was terrible, so we’ve hired everyone who was in it”.

The complete Bayeux Tapestry has finally been released and proves that Bishop Odo had absolutely nothing to do with the illegal Norman invasion of England.

Principles are important. 😃
I’m very pleased that Jonathan Gullis has joined Reform – we need more conviction politicians with strongly held principles. In other news, here he is explaining why there is absolutely no chance he would ever defect to Reform.

It is odd to me that, like, you'd think it'd be parody if you said: to be clear, they only like the bad bits of Western Civilisation -- but that turns out to be true. They like the rapacious imperial murder, but not the art or intellectual achievements or civil liberties, etc.
i mean what are these "western values" these guys are so hopped up about? they are directly antagonistic to western europe. they don't believe in civil liberties. they reject democracy. and don't get me started on christianity, they hate their white neighbors almost as much as the brown ones

"things happen" = burning risotto, breaking a vase, forgetting a friend's birthday
"things happen" ≠ violently murdering and dismembering a journalist in a consulate

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

The right-wing backlash against #Superman this week got me thinking: Has this happened before?
That led to the discovery of these headline — from April 1940, when the official newspaper of the SS took umbrage at the comic book hero and ridiculed its creators.

Just re-read this while in Berlin doing a lot of commuting - it's as good as I remembered.
I first read this masterpiece 12 years ago. It’s an incredible account of my oldest mates time as the 2nd most crucial member of the madhouse that was The Fall. It basically reimagines I Claudius set to music. Magnificent… well done (again) brother. @stephenhanley6.bsky.social 💥

Preach.
The biggest divide in politics is between people who hear the word "socialism" and think "Soviet bread lines" and people who hear it and think "I'm told there are countries where cancer isn't also going to make me bankrupt".
So, my advice to centrist and center-left pundits who are trying their damnedest to fear-monger over democratic socialism: come up with a more attractive alternative for working class families and quickly. The past six months have accelerated frustration. You need to read the room.
