Half a million people signing up to a party that doesn’t even have a name let alone any policies yet but is just saying “we think things could be less shit” should be a clear signal to Starmer that the trajectory he’s taken Labour on isn’t going down well at all

Try to imagine any other context where a news presenter describes credible reports that soldiers have been shooting huge numbers of teenagers and children *for sport*, for fun, and a politician gives this reaction.

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.
NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

Somehow this Barca team reminds me of kids who are really young when they learn to ski? They have no inherent fear or sense of danger. They just go. Meanwhile, we're all so traumatized by what's happened in the past that we fear everything?
