The phrase "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity" has no weight in Britain because the powerful people in this country are equal parts malicious *and* stupid

because trying to out-reform reform has been working out so spectacularly well for labour so far…
Whatever it takes. As Home Secretary, that is what I am prepared to do to secure the UK's borders.

Unbelievably not sacked yet
NEW: Calls for Peter Mandelson to quit after it emerged he called Epstein his "best pal" "There were a lot of girls and young women who suffered because of Epstein, and they deserve accountability and justice." https://t.co/0x6Plo4TV4

Love to encourage cycling in London but seeing how the casuals do it during a tube strike unfortunately I now have to gatekeep. Take your limes and WFH, you're a risk to yourself and others

if it wasn't for Liz Truss, then Keir Starmer would be the most unpopular prime minister in recent years by quite some margin

Looks like a lot more lockdown breaking from lawless Johnson and his entourage One of these events includes Alex Wickham. I wonder if he ever reported on other people’s lockdown breaking antics?

"An official spokesperson for Lord Mandelson told the BBC that he "has long been clear that he very much regrets ever having been introduced to Epstein"" 'introduced to him?' You cannot stick to that line when you describe him as your best pal and say you love him ffs

I can't think of a single other UK politician, from a parish councillor to the prime minister, for whom this wouldn't be a resigning issue.

whats a 'council street'?
I am running to be Deputy Leader of @UKLabour. As a proud working-class woman from the North East, I have come from a tough council street all the way to the Cabinet. I will be a strong voice to unite our Party, take the fight to Reform, and deliver for our country.

Bizarre BBC interview with Graham Linehan. Although the journalist challenges him, he is still given a platform without any balance from anyone trans. Yet trans people can't appear without anti trans activists "for balance".

have to keep asking politicians this simple question "are palestine action terrorists?" - the official govt answer to this is clearly yes, yet even the key supporters and advocates for proscription knows they will ultimately look ridiculous saying it
John Woodcock (likes to go by Lord Walney) awkwardly stuttering his way through this interview trying to defend the proscription of Palestine Action, as well as his role advising government on this having been chair of LFI

reeks of desperation this. Starmer et al clearly planned for a pliant back bencher (eg Thornberry) and got spooked at the thought of Lucy Powell
Increasingly difficult to imagine a world in which Bridget Phillipson isn’t the only candidate validly nominated by Labour MPs tomorrow night
