The perfect moment to re-up Stuart McGurk's piece for @prospectmagazine.co.uk about the rise of the man who dominated the Labour party only to become a symbol of Starmer's failing government

The coolest Congresswoman there’s ever been.
If Bilbo had Chat GPT
An ICE agent attempted to enter the Ecuadorian Consulate in Minneapolis, threatening the staff member who prevented him from entering.
Hello? ICE is so out of control that its agents think they can break international law.
Congress needs to rein them in yesterday.

I just thought everyone should see this
NOW - Musk: "My prediction is there'll be more robots than people... everyone on Earth is going to have one and going to want one... who wouldn't want a robot to... watch over your kids, take care of your pets... we are in the most interesting time in history." 4:08 PM Jan 22, 2026 223.8K Views
Isn't this a telling aspiration? To want robots to look after your kids, so you can do stuff, rather than robots to do stuff, so you can spend time with your kids?
The darkness inside these shrivelled men must be like a gaping unfillable void.
Also, there is a racehorse named Thomas Equinas and I laugh anytime I see it entered in a race.
The main question I have for Labour is, what will you do when the polls don’t improve for you after this?
The Labour Left had total control over the party in 2020, lost it without much fight, and since then has been having a tantrum about the nasty boy who took their toys.
The Labour right stole the toys and has not stopped gloating since. It seems that's the only thing they know how to do.
Look, part of me thinks she’s right and that, like setting fire to Dustin Hoffman and Susan George’s house, this is pretty standard rural behaviour. Which is why I never go there.
Bluesky has a certain independent charm to it.
Most posts are incomprehensible without a glossary of terms.

Beautiful summation, Donald.
AI needs to stay out of cinema.
After all, if I wanted to see a movie made from older, better movies, I could put on something by Brian De Palma.
Thank you!
Oh! He'd walk it, hands down!
Bigtime!
Must admit, it's a pretty piss poor field.
It's like the moment when you're in the bookies and are caught between a Group 1 race at Ascot or a 5 furlong sprint at Lingfield.
And you just say "Fuck it.."
And toss a coin.
And there was me, thinking about Stalin and Trotsky and the 5 year plan.
When I was 14.
But it's all been explained to me now.
Donald, you're posting more here now.
Why?
There has been a murder.
Yes. Excellent.
Trump and Brecell.
Ronnie and Si Jiahi.
Great day for snooker.
The Avicci doc on Netflix is excellent.
I'm too old for House Music but a fascinating insight into the mix of fandom... expectations....management and art
That's unlikely Donald. I think you are safe.
For the day that's in it, a long but excellent read.
Pope Francis. RIP

Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry @pegobry_en Let's say you're a US citizen and ICE grabs you off the street and puts you on a plane to Mongolia. Don't you just go to your consulate, give them your name, date of birth, etc., they make you a new passport, and you fly home? They do this all day for tourists who had their stuff & ID stolen, there are procedures. I mean obviously it sucks to have that happen to you but it's not like your life is over or anything. And the government should definitely write you a nice check as an apology. 3:13 PM • 4/16/25
didn't take much for these guys to go from "big government is bad" to "what's the big deal if you're abducted by the government and trafficked to Mongolia"
