OK, everyone. I think it’s time I told my Boris Johnson story. It’s a story about the time as foreign secretary where Johnson committed a straightforward resigning offence, got caught out, then got away with it. Thread.

"What of Darwinism’s present status? Like Marxism — that other great materialist theory of the Victorian age — Darwinism has become “the God that failed.”"

Here's a sample piece of "journalism" from one of the "news" outlets that signed the DoD rules. Welcome to the new press corps.
Today, the Department of War is announcing the next generation of the Pentagon press corps. We are excited to announce over 60 journalists, representing a broad spectrum of new media outlets and independent journalists, have signed the Pentagon’s media access policy and will be

it's dizzying to me that stories like this -- a corrupt grift built on democracy-wrecking lies that culminated in a coup attempt -- barely breakthrough anymore. they're just daily background noise now.
COLLINS: The NYT is reporting your legal team is seeking $230 million from your own DOJ now in response to the investigations into you. Is that something you want? TRUMP: It could be, yeah. I don't even talk to them about it. All I know is they would owe me a lot of money. They

If an American tourist was being chased and attacked by masked & armed government-backed terrorists in any country other than Israel, it would be immediately become a major diplomatic crisis with wall to wall media coverage.

Israel just slaughtered dozens of Palestinians on a false pretext. That's not a "test of ceasefire". That's a ceasefire already destroyed by multiple Israeli murders of Palestinians trashed. There's no pretence Palestinian life has any meaning - none at all.

presumably starmer will now be accusing police in tel aviv of antisemitism?
This is the wrong decision. We will not tolerate antisemitism on our streets. The role of the police is to ensure all football fans can enjoy the game, without fear of violence or intimidation. https://t.co/8aBeqE4qbA

The only good thing about Trump is that he is completely open about everything: he doesn’t hide what he is, he’s proud of it. He broadcasts a video of himself dumping shit on Democratic voters because he thinks they’re worth shit and he wants to treat them like shit.

The press will ask a few Republicans about this video and they'll claim they haven't seen it and the story will blow over within 24 hours where if any other American politician in the last 50 years did anything like this it would be in the first paragraph of their obituary.

I’ve said it but I’m going to continue saying it, for documentation sake. Posts from the President and White House like this are a shame for the office of the presidency — no matter who holds it. Depicting a sitting president dropping waste on citizens crosses every line of

It is astonishing that just weeks after Republicans took to the media to angrily say any reference to their party as Nazi or fascist was incitement to violence, they’re now accusing the Democratic Party of being “Hamas terrorists.” Per their own logic, they are inciting violence.
Leavitt: "The Democrat Party's main constituency is made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals."

If this was an Israeli child, this atrocity would lead every news bulletin, and be splashed on every front page. But this is a Palestinian child murdered by Israel. There’s no attempt to disguise the total lack of value attached to Palestinian life - none at all.

It’s been a full seven days. My opponent @McAuliff4VA has not uttered a word to condemn Jay Jones. He has, however, scrubbed these photos with some help from Suhas Subramanyam, in hopes that you wouldn’t see them. If John McAuliff lacks the moral clarity to condemn calling for
