The get-out clause for Starmer is that there is a relevant, active criminal case against a member of Kneecap. He could have straight-batted with: “That’s for the Eavises to decide, not me. As for my personal view, it would be inappropriate for the PM to comment while the criminal case is active.”

This (via @mattmuir.bsky.social's excellent newsletter) is AMAZING: a webcam hand-controlled synth and drum machine.

Rupert Lowe now has a competitor - David Frost - in who can recommend the most overtly racist Twitter accounts, as a recommendation of where to get explanations of racist memes

It's quite remarkable that the elite of the British right has chosen *now* as the moment to go blood-and-soil. When the actual public have probably never been as un-racist as they are.

Once again I find I am not British nor a “true” Londoner despite having been born in zone 1, while Boris Johnson (born in New York), Crispin Blunt (West Germany) and Rory Stewart (Hong Kong) are a-ok.

I originally wrote this a few years ago and have just sent the updated version out to my Substack list (the short answer is "yes" and the long answer is "yes but with graphs")

“Special Report” is a new way for the Standard to say it’s paid Goodhart to write his article again, this time across a whole spread.

I have questions: Where does this sit in the Question Time Universe continuity? Are we taking the original series featuring Robin Day as canon or is this a soft reboot? Will this have updated special effects or are we talking a someone wearing a rubber Fiona Bruce mask?

Man on PA at King's X. Humidity is the key to Christian faith. I know it's hot but does it actually say that in the Bible?

I was going to do the “I’m old enough to remember when Carswell was a fairly liberal right winger (I am older than 12)” joke but Sunder has the receipts (see 🧵)

This is not what the "Not for EU" label means. The "Not for EU" label is a requirement of the Windsor Framework to ensure products placed on the market in GB can also be placed on the market in Northern Ireland.

Is it just me or does this headline make no sense in relation to the story? This poor woman is accused by a branch of theft and is added to some sort of face watchlist. She is then accurately flagged by the facial recognition systems as being barred. That is not a "facial recognition error".

The conversation below this is fascinating, on gov.uk and GDS's shortcomings, in the areas of what it prioritised and what it jettisoned (in my view correctly).

Thirty years ago today. I wasn't there, but it seemed such a big deal at the time for a band like Blur to play a stadium, even a small one. Of course a year later Oasis were playing Knebworth. Overall though, not a bad bill for £18.50.
