Is there a better way to spend international women’s day…?

Everything about that is fucking gross

Still, it wasn't all bad news for Matt. At least he no longer had to pretend he was looking forward to settling permanently in the constituency. Just imagine the kind of people he might have had as neighbours. Either a load of Islamists who wanted to blow up the town, or progressives handing out smack on street corners on a first come, first served basis. Far better to go back to the sanctuary of the south of England. Far more civilised. And yes, he might find himself with time on his hands until his GB News work picked up again. But there were still plenty of Andrew Tate videos for him to catch up on.

Between all the “cat ladies” and “angry Muslims” in Gorton and Denton you have to wonder why Goodwin ever wanted to represent this group of voters?

you're right, it IS shocking that professional loser Matt Goodwin still has more newsletter subscribers than I do. If you want to help correct this oversight, here's 12% off annual subs (to reflect how much he lost by)

🚨ICYMI🚨
Reform want to launch a British equivalent to America's much-loathed ICE if they get into power. @zoegrunewald.bsky.social & @sundersays.bsky.social discuss why that would be a horrible, unworkable idea ➡️ linktr.ee/bunker_pod

If your political strategy is to alienate your entire voter base and pave the way for a hard-right government, sure

And none of it tracks logically to the profile of the event. Interview high profile politician on a weekend in central London for big name thinktank (no fee), ten minute remote internal presentation for a charity (extremely generous)

Yes this but for literally every single freelance project. There’s obviously no flat/standard industry fee and I obviously want as much as you’ll pay me so let’s cut the crap!!!

So many "can you come and speak..." invitations fade into silence when mention that you do actually need to be paid for the work you do in order to survive

Great. Now I have to come up with a novel welcome drink

Here's an exciting question that I'm sure you'll all have lots of opinions on. I'm off to choose some wine for our wedding tonight. Tips and advice welcome.

Dodging is a colloquial term. You get convicted of evasion. Sorry, you're wrong here :/

Do people post videos on Bluesky?

I was on Cross Question last night arguing that it would be foolish to follow the War Criminal and Episodic Man into Iran. Kind of like following an arsonist into a burning building. Strongmen motivated entirely by their own self interest can not be trusted.

The implicit argument of so much of this stuff is that there is no legitimate role for Muslims in public life.

Oh am I not allowed to post a little photo of a mouse enjoying some chicken in the greatest city in the world??

this reminds me of when a v established right wing journalist was convinced he was reading an obscene tweet from Corbyn and I had to gently and repeatedly explain that it wasn’t actually from Corbyn and you could tell because the account had 45 followers and it said “parody” in the bio
