- Reposted by Pete MorganYes, quite. It's the biggest scandal of this administration, so far, probably. It's an average Tuesday under Johnson.
- Reposted by Pete MorganI’m somewhat serious when I say time ripe for gutsy government to do sweeping modernisation of everything. New building for Parliament, savage restrictions on lobbying & revolving door, Lords reform. Coordinate radical slimming-down of royal family with King. Pluto to have planet status restored &c.

- Reposted by Pete MorganOK this makes me extremely angry. Has everyone forgotten the massive profiteering from thousands of avoidable pandemic deaths?? The unconstitutional suspension of parliament to force through an act of nationalist destruction that cost our children their future??

- Reposted by Pete MorganWe moved house recently and I just want to sympathise with Andrew here, it really is one of the most stressful things you can go through in life, along with divorce, bereavement, and testifying to Congress under oath about a notorious paedophile ring in which you played a key part.

- Reposted by Pete MorganI'm worried that the broader public isn't really understanding the Epstein Files. The problem isn't that everyone in the files is a secret pedophile, it's that all the people are corresponding with him because they *don't care that he's a pedophile*. It's a story of elite impunity.
- Don't disagree with Alex Burghart here but slightly galling to hear the Tories asking for investigations into potential Russian assets
- Reposted by Pete MorganNow let's hear a correspondingly positive response from the UK government.
- I’m sure others have pointed this out but May 2025 - Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has said he wants to…scrap the two-child benefit limit February 2026 - he wants to re-impose it It’s like he’s a shameless opportunist or something
- Reposted by Pete MorganI convinced a lot of people to invest their life savings with me except I used all their money to buy myself a leather jacket and a jukebox that only works when I hit it. I’m now being investigated for running a Fonzi scheme.

- Reposted by Pete MorganInstead of conferring titles, gongs and baubles and then demanding those titles, gongs and baubles be removed… …perhaps as a modern, mature polity we should have far fewer titles, gongs and baubles in the first place.

- Reposted by Pete Morganreposting to fix a broken link! serious point buried in this by @roberthutton.co.uk - if Mandelson leaked like a sieve to Epstein, shouldn't we be asking if he was forwarding market sensitive stuff to anyone else? potential for any inquiry to get pretty wide thecritic.co.uk/peter-mandel...

- Reposted by Pete MorganSee also family photo props. I just watched a photorealistic 47-foot gorilla destroy a tank but when the protagonist looks at the picture of them & their kids on the mantelpiece it looks like it was knocked up on MS Paint.
- Kind of amazing that it’s 2026, the cinematic moving image is over 130 years old, we have witnessed 3D, IMAX, Technicolor, CGI and beyond, yet hair and make-up departments are still unable to manufacture a beard that doesn’t resemble a £7.99 comedy purchase from madpiratejokeshop.com

- Reposted by Pete MorganThis is very good on just how trapped we are by the geopolitical weakness, anti-immigrant rhetoric and trade dysfunction of Brexit. By not changing the Tory record, for fear of alienating Reform voters, Labour - and so the country - is hamstrung by strategic idiocy and populist cruelty.

- Reposted by Pete MorganAfter some consideration, the synthesis I have settled on is Starmer is bad and cynical for shamelessly pulling strings to block a rival, Burnham is bad and cynical for being ready to risk a Reform mayor in Greater Manchester for his own ambition, and it is time at last for chaos with Ed Miliband.
