The Glass is Empty
I used to think the glass was half full.

- Look at the state of this...
- Hahaha 😝 They have an agreed “spontaneous” line. Crerar transcribes it. They treat the s like fucking idiots. Unfortunately many of us are.
- When talking about righteous anger, worth remembering that the Labour Party has been supporting a genocide in the Middle East for more than two years.
- But having to admit the prime minister gave the country's top diplomatic job to a notorious nonce-adjacent dustbin of corruption—that is a bridge too fucking far, son.

- It does very, very, very much appear that Pippa Crerar has simply copied and pasted a message from Morgan McSweeney.
- Just before Trump's re-election, I attended a tech conference in Silicon Valley. Over dinner, a tech bro spoke in ways that reminded me of 1930s fascists. I pointed this out. He replied, without irony: "Yeah, I think we should get a little fascy."
- Spain has effectively made the argument that their economy NEEDS migration. They don’t have the hostile environment which every govt. has kept despite Windrush promises. This could be us if we weren’t cooked.
- Why Spain is breaking the mold in Europe - choosing regularisation instead of MAGA mass deportations!! Two reasons: morality & pragmatism. 🙏Spain showing us another, better way is possible www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/o...
- There's no reason to accept this as normal, though. Much of Starmer and Labour's unpopularity is not misfortune but his own doing. Mandelson was a choice. Consistently pursuing policy positions designed to appeal to people who will not vote for you - and alienating core supporters - is a choice.

- You're telling me that Morgan McSweeney might lose his job and Wes Streeting might never be prime minister, because they were too close to Peter Mandelson? oh no that's terrible
- I'm standing by this prediction.

Enjoying Sir Keir Starmer talking about 'Mandelson' as if he was a homeless man he took in out of the goodness of his liberal heart, who turned on him without warning, ate one of Victoria's expensive lipsticks, then ran off into the night with twelve cans of Old Peculiar and his glasses repair kit.- [Not loaded yet]

- It's just weird you wouldn't sack your PR guy if he has himself become the news for his bad behaviour. Morgan McSweeney is just some unelected goon, isn't he? He's just some hired help, isn't he? Very strange!

- Wrote this for @newsocialist.bsky.social six years ago and think it stands up pretty well, particularly this bit on what the Labour right actually believes. newsocialist.org.uk/plea-wavering-…

- Anas Sarwar says today of Peter Mandelson: “I'm utterly disgusted and furious about the entire situation … He never should have been the ambassador to the US.” For context, here’s Sarwar in April 2025 love-bombing his ‘old friend’. They think we are stupid. He is an amoral opportunistic chancer.
