You absolute fucking clowns.
Massive move in gilts on open. Looks like giving up almost half the gains from the last month. Terrible
I am excited to see the gilt market reaction to this news. Think it could be quite bad. A big chunk of the recent gilt rally was predicated on Labour showing they could hike the big taxes if needed and….well I guess that idea is dead.

Honestly, Duck Duck Go’s search engine is dumb as soup. You’d be better off just asking random passers-by. Still rather use it than Google’s tiresome ad-machine, though.

I’m not having a terrific day. But I’m not in the Epstein emails so I’m calling it a win.

Eventually, all the news in Britain will consist of bought and paid for journalists parroting the party line of whichever stupid-haired far right goose-stepper is in charge.

Whole fucking thing makes me sick to my stomach. An abject fucking liar, a man who lies as easily as he fucking breathes, threatening an organisation which strives for truthfulness. And plastic patriots like the Mail and Farage urging him on. Jackels.

And there we are. McKenzie now holding forth on #BBCTalkback. Someone who printed lies on an industrial scale and wrung the life out of bereaved families is talking about honesty in journalism. The inverting of morality continues unabated.

Gods. Someone dug up Kelvin McKenzie for a comment on the BBC. What this lying, corrupt bag of human faeces can contribute to a discussion on impartiality escapes me. But this is where we are. The right can do no wrong.

It’s also a mistake politicians make. It’s actually a very common human mistake: to try and change the minds of people who dislike you, rather than focus on those who already love you.

Watching the #Democrats snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is a salutary reminder of how fascism wins.
