Asked whether Nigel Farage plans to sue the Guardian, given he denies making any of the racist and anti-semitic comments attributed to him, his spokesman replies "not at this stage".

The general point to take from tonight is that both those matches were live on FTA throughout the UK, what a great TV deal this is

Looking forward to watching England and Scotland grinding out a borderline unwatchable 0-0 next June.

My whole friendship group was Labour at the last GE, albeit some reluctantly.
Pretty much all Green now. We'd all still vote for Sadiq, I think. But not Starmer. He's done here.

I've been out canvassing quite a lot in London lately. Labour's vote has absolutely evaporated.... it is quite extraordinary to go to places where Labour were on 50-60% of the vote at the last locals and find nobody, or virtually nobody, supporting them.

This is the reporter that Donald Trump called "Piggy." She is Catherine Lucey, currently with Bloomberg.
I don't think it is a coincidence that, back in 2018, Lucey was the first reporter to ask Trump about Stormy Daniels. Trump responded with a lie, but, clearly, did not forget the question.

If Labour had worked with a focus group at the start of its term to conceive a plan that would alienate its support and hand the UK to the far right at the next elections, it would be nearly indistinguishable from what it's actually done. Every day is the same routine: bullet in the foot, reload.

Bizarrely, Labour interpreted their landslide to mean 'do what Sunak's govt was trying to do but better'.
It's a failure of morality but it's a failure of imagination too. They might have campaigned on a platform promising change but they simply couldn't conceive of what that change might look like.

Fascinating that the cause of collapse of both major parties has not just been basically identical (cost of living and service failings creating unpopularity, chasing radical right tail on immigration fuelling in-bloc schism), but that doubling down has persisted long after failure became clear.

Totally this.
It's insulting. It sees the white working class as an undifferentiated, uncultured, suspicious, incurious, territorial, ignorant, potentially violent singularity.
Fuck Blue Labour.

The irony of the Blue Labour rhetoric is actually how prejudicial it is about the white working class.
why do I emphasize the Manchester-ness of this? because Blue Labour 'thinkers' try to portray themselves as authentic representatives of a neglected Northern working class. But while there's plenty of racism in the North, as anywhere else, there's also a long history of integration and anti-racism.

With the MAGA lot, every accusation is *always* a confession.

Combine this NYT write-up with podcaster Megyn Kelly's remarks earlier this week about paedophilia vs statutory rape.
