How about Churchill with a rhino he has shot on the £5? That should make everyone happy

Daily Mail Headline:

Pupils' drawings could be blasphemous under Islamic law, Labour councils tell schools - while music and dance classes may go against the teachings of Islam

Daily Mail Headline: Pupils' drawings could be blasphemous under Islamic law, Labour councils tell schools - while music and dance classes may go against the teachings of Islam

Oh boy! What a headline...

Ask yourself:

"What am I being asked to believe?"

"Who am I being told to blame?"

Take a few seconds to imagine what the Daily Mail (And Telegraph, GB News and Express) WANT you to think is going on.

Let's see what's ACTUALLY happening...🧵

Outstanding work from @monkemma.bsky.social here. Wish this kind of debunking was widespread and mainstream. Too many people read the bllx the fash press pumps out.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

Why New Labour was the last good government Tarnished by Iraq and Mandelson - but two new books show they made millions of lives better

Another great review of my New Labour book! Alongside Macintyre's book on Brown, by @rostaylor.bsky.social in @thenewworldmag.bsky.social. 'The Blair and Brown governments made people’s lives better. The same can hardly be said for any of their successors'.

Iran Crisis: They Wanted Sovereignty. Just Not Like This If anyone has ruined the special relationship, it's not Starmer- it's Trump

No legal basis. No clear objective. No exit. And much of Britain’s political class spent the week calling Starmer a coward for noticing.

4. I think that it is important that critics of LLMs get this. The 'LLMs are useless which is terrible and everyone is using them which is also terrible' shtick contained contradictions even in the beginning, which took a lot of work to maintain . Now it contradicts people's lived experiences.

The @ipso.co.uk ruling of Telegraph’s preposterous “We earn £345k but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays”, reveals the article to have been a fabrication. There is no such family as Al, Alexandra, Ali, Harry and Barry Moy. Glad to have acted as lead complainant on this.

Novels were compared to narcotics, and people pushing the moral panic wanted restrictions placed on who could purchase them. Reading was compared to gluttony and it was believed those who read novels were brain rotted, low IQ.

Had thought views of Farage were pretty fixed.

YouGov have him net -37 (a 10 point deterioration since Spring)

Approve: 27%
Disapprove: 64%

It is striking how much the by-election inquest is for the core vote, and may be exacerbating the reputational risks

Christopher who?

In May, a party founded eight years ago, with no record in national government and only eight MPs, will fight elections in Wales and Scotland, and for control of councils across England, with every chance of winning many of them. British politics is being reshaped by Reform UK. This is a result of Nigel Farage's personality and of Christopher Harborne's money - £9m, from a fortune amassed largely through cryptocurrency investments. The party would not be able to field candidates, run social media operations or door-to-door campaigns if it weren't for the Harborne war chest. There is a template for crypto-funded campaigning - in the US, where it is viewed as having led to securing crypto-friendly legislation and sweetheart deals to enrich crypto charlatans and undermine transparency and accountability in politics.

Reform threatens to destroy the Conservatives as a party of government and divide communities, increasingly along ethnic lines and with overtly racist arguments. It also poses the most serious threat to Keir Starmer's government, Harborne lives in Thailand and owns a 12% stake in the Tether stablecoin. Little else is known about this intensely private man. Yet he can influence the course of politics, seemingly without either much of a business or life in the UK. It's a lot like overseas interference in British democracy.

Didn't someone once say: "Take back control"?

It's now the norm for MAGA America to put its allies -including the UK - in impossible positions.

Imagine the outcry if Keir had refused the use of UK bases: and then a UK national in Dubai or elsewhere is killed by an Iranian missile or drone.

Keir is damned if he does act & damned if he doesn't.
