- Meanwhile, special relationship latest: only the most powerful democracy on Earth plunging even deeper into fascism. Yet another excellent, highly insightful summary here.
- Mine earlier today with @mrjamesob.bsky.social on the UK's @lbc.co.uk as Trump doubles down on his threats to undermine the midterm elections in November. 🎧: audioboom.com/posts/885683... #Trump #midterms #USElections #usnews #news #Democrats #Constitution #lbc #simonmarks
- He’s lost this argument as well though. He’s got a Home Sec literally mirroring all the Tories’ immigration and asylum rhetoric and policies from Theresa May’s ‘Go Home’ vans through every spiteful Home Office policy since.
- A bit tired of MPs and ministers telling us the British public can do without the disruption & distraction of yet another leadership election. Here’s a thought for MPs and ministers: why not stop appointing conniving charlatans, already stinking rich, corrupt, self-serving twats to high office? #GMB
- Labour voted to lift *some* children out of poverty. Political acceptability in the 6th richest country on earth.
- We’ve arrived at the stage where it’s impossible for any LOTO to fail at #PMQs with this PM. Even with the current LOTO. Starmer’s permanently on the ropes, unable to raise his guard but with the referee still not stepping in.
- Starmer defenders talk about his integrity. Even if Starmer signing off Mandelson’s appointment to UK Ambassador was done out of pragmatism, knowledge of any slight links to Epstein means Starmer chose flimsy pragmatism over irreproachable integrity thus kiboshing his main general election USP.
- Coverage and commentary of the detail of Mandelson’s scheming, conniving with a peadiphile and alleged criminality seems to be diluting the fact that this story is unprecedentedly gigantic.
- Went back to Bob and Brad for advice on daughter’s runner’s knee having helped fix 2 over-training injuries for me. Only now I’ve discovered Bob Schrupp passed away last August. Sad news, lovely bloke. #runchat
- Sad thing is, ‘Going Home’ off this album is probably more applicable to mainstream politicians today than it was then.
- Just listened to this afternoon’s News Agents podcast episode on the Mandelson scandal and once again find myself wondering how different crucial political moments might’ve panned out if Lewis Goodall was the BBC Pol Ed.
