Every single Senator and the 6 lunatic supreme court justices needs to be held to account. This is the US Constitution failing spectacularly.

Badenoch denies calling for UK to join US-Israeli war on Iran Conservative leader accused of taking confusing position after she said Starmer should β€˜do more than catch arrows’

At the most basic level of 'have some self-respect', Conservative MPs should not put forward someone who visibly is not intellectually equipped to be prime minister as their candidate to be prime minister.

@stellacreasy.bsky.social for PM. Failing that, more OGWN appearances. Passionate, coherent, persuasive and most of all, human. More of this please.

I gagged at the first line. Imagine writing that and thinking it's ok. I cannot understand how anyone likes it trusts the man.

I imagine whoever designed the move that Kyle Steyn scored off will be smiling for the whole week. Superb stuff.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

The good kind of infighting. Creasy explaining very clearly why the policy sucks. More power to the backbenchers

We need to accelerate the switch to renewables. We can't be at the mercy of some lunatic with custard for brains.

Mahmood is terrible. Did she join Labour by accident?

02104-25 Fraser v Telegraph.co.uk - IPSO Ian Fraser complained to the Independent Press Standards Organisation that Telegraph.co.uk breached Clause 1 (Accuracy) of the Editors’ Code of Practice in an article headlined β€œWe earn Β£345k, but soa...

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something

Confirms their story titled: β€˜We earn Β£345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

Reeves's Spring Statement was empty, dull - and an utter triumph It was an absolute snooze-fest. More of this please

Finally, the thing we were promised in 2024: boring stable government

If you have no understanding if history, then maybe. There is the minor issue of the Harrying of the North.

The idea of a legislative body representing the population having the ability to check the ultimate power of a country’s leader sounds really neat. Someone should write that down.

And it is losing them very specifically because - this is the phrase every Labour friend tells me they hear on the doorstep - "it stands for nothing". How is it possible No.10 have concluded that they can reverse this if only they stand for nothing even more resolutely? WTAF are these people doing?

As ever, I don't imagine myself representative of anyone but me. But if I'd had a vote in Gorton I'd have agonised, then done whatever felt most likely to stop Goodwin. After Starmer and Mahmoud's responses I now feel quite motivated to vote *against* Labour?

Definitely. He can take his body to places other can't. His ability to suffer is extraordinary.
