This is wonderful and also true.
The analogies you draw, the thoughts you suddely have, the roads you pursue, the structures you comprehend, simply because a piece of art or theatre shakes you up and makes you think differently.

I don't think there can be much doubt now that Burnham is preparing for a leadership contest.
In a long list of extraordinary things that have happened today, this strength of this statement by Andy Burnham's new movement is something else. A proper shot across the bows.

Dead right.
We did an Origin Story on Netanyahu, did a ton of research, and he remains the only person we've covered who has no redeeming features whatsoever. He started out an arsehole and became a monster. That's basically the story.

To cheat that brazenly over something that unimportant is a true mark of how little there is in that creature.
That American élites have let so tawdry a thing treat them as serfs shows how little there is in them.

If only there were half the outrage over Israeli soldiers shooting starving people queuing for food as there has been towards some rappers mouthing off at Glastonbury, we'd be in a very different place

Ah lovely. Another bag of rubbish gets tipped into the House of Lords. The place must absolutely reek of stale Tory failure, corruption and abuse of power.
Honours handed out like sweeties to some of the most undeserving, underachieving, overpromoted clowns and liars to have ever held public office.

"The limits of power" I weep atop my three-figure majority, in a parliament I control the schedule for, aided by a powerful whipping system, at the heart of one of the most centralised political systems in the democratic world, and alongside a wide selection of extra-parliamentary powers.
Above all, there is genuine shock amongst many people who have gone into government at just how bad things are, how slowly things move, the limits of power and the obstructiveness of systems. There is a lot of working out as they go along what needs to change about the way the state functions

Many memorable lines in this. “Forget shining city on a hill. The United States is now the world’s drunk uncle-by-marriage, showing up at a family dinner to spout off ugly nonsense while everyone looks away from the stains on his clothes and tries to ignore the odours wafting from him.”
I left northern Ontario 25 years ago, but it’s always in my blood (and in my accent when I get mad). Pretty much everyone there is mad right now. Here’s how stupid the tariff threat looks from a border town.

One thing I have benefitted from during my travels to Edinburgh, Belfast, Cardiff&the North of England last year: There are plenty of incredibly informed, nuanced experts in all of these places who can tell you a lot about devolution & local government IF ONLY someone took the trouble to ask them. 🙄
Just had to switch off a radio discussion about local govt reorg in which London based commentators largely concluded “dunno really” and “I suppose in London we have a very straightforward structure so trying to understand what happens everywhere else is really hard”

If Labour want to shore up support then easing the cost of living should be priority. Get to grips with energy, water & grocery bills. And pursuing the likes of Mone & Abramovich for tax rather than squeezing the pensioners and lower paid. Most of Reform’s appeal to the disenchanted would dissolve.

Can't see any mention of Mitford's friendship with Lord Rothermere or the positive write ups she got in the Mail in the 30s. I'm sure that's referenced inside.
