The clubs should just leave X, it's beyond fixing.

Suspect this has a lot to do with him being de-selected by his local party in favour of an Asian woman.

The ‘Board of Peace’ started World War 3 so fast.

Can Labour get past vibes-based triangulation [not same as Reform or Greens, don't lurch left or right] to substance of centre-left content on key issues?

Somewhere betw Greens & Reform contains at least a dozen varieties of social democracy, democratic socialism, most of liberalism & centreright

Imagine devoting your entire career to selling the idea that the British public hates wokery and is clamouring for radical right wing populism, only to then be defeated in an actual election by the most left wing possible coalition of politicians and activists in the country.

It's got to hurt

Somewhere, somehow, at a right-wing tabloid, the most deranged Meghan story of all time is being birthed

Reform candidate calls for ‘young girls’ to be given ‘biological reality’ check Exclusive: Matt Goodwin argued ‘young girls’ should be explained ‘the biological reality’ that ‘many women in Britain ar

Or, hear me out, maybe women don't need lectures by the likes of Matt Goodwin?

Ignore the smears: I was never a close friend of Peter Mandelson. And I fully understand the lessons we must learn Wes Streeting I knew him but not well, and worry now that he thrived in our political culture. It was not just failed vetting: there was a failure of moral seriousness

It’s practically a work of art that he thinks we’re all that stupid.

The world could use some Bob Marley energy right now.

wish that instead of having to campaign for a political candidate you could volunteer to purely campaign against someone

Quitting the Labour Party – so it can’t investigate or sanction him – and not the Lords would be an *incredibly* on-brand response for Mandelson. I suspect it won’t hold, though.

Jenrick saying he's "put aside personal ambition" too join Reform is the single most shameless statement I've ever heard.

If he "put aside personal ambition" he'd disappear. That's all there is.

the European mission to Greenland was fourth in the BBC news running order this morning, which feels a bit like doing a light "and finally..." item about the archduke's motorcade taking a wrong turn in Sarajevo

A huge chunk of our political class has "book-you-see-in-an-airport" brain.

Just no interest in rigour.

So rugby league

Doesn’t feel coincidental that all of the ‘women’ in the advert look to have barely reached adulthood. If that.

Always enjoy the slow descent of 6Music at this time of year, they hold out as long as they can but by Xmas Eve they’ll be playing Wham just like everyone else

I wish the Brexit dinosaurs would stop this "Erasmus is for posh kids" crap. Half the young population goes to university, these days, in UK and most of EU. And most of the half that doesn't is also eligible for Erasmus+, which covers schools, further education, adult learners and in-work training.

Trump has done so many terrible things, but something about that deranged and hideous response to a man and his wife being brutally murdered has taken things to an appalling new level. There is a genuine psychopath in the Oval Office.

oh piss off

Rather than apologising for his antisemitism, Farage demands the BBC apologise for the antisemitism of Alf Garnett, a fictional character created to satirise antisemitism, who was portrayed by a Jewish man.

Farage: I won’t do a deal with the Tories because they were dishonest and incompetent.

Also Farage: We’re recruiting as many Tory MPs as we can.

Why is British politics so lousy with people who have no interest in solving problems?

I just can't get over the fact that the guy who gave this quote is 45. It would be embarrassing for all involved if this quote came from the *current* under-14 chess champion, but from an adult...I worry I've ruptured something from cringing so hard.

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.
