'They are so deeply childish, so deeply thin-skinned.' @lewisgoodall.com I couldn't agree more!

Oooh, you mean it's OK to leave, realise it's a mistake, then rejoin? 😉

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

Neon Films released THE LIFE OF CHUCK. Because they’re small, they depended on Mark Hamil, Tom Hiddleston, and others to go on the circuit and talk the movie up. Thank you, guys. Now go bust a move!

No offense to anyone, but if you don’t instantly see how straight-up evil the Trump administration is being here you weren’t raised right This man isn’t in a gang, has no criminal record, was never charged with crimes pre-Trump, and everyone involved in this *scam* well knows it

Perfect.

KKR drops out of plan to rescue Thames Water. Not even the most predatory private equity firms are interested in this failed utility. Time to take Thames back into public hands.

Thames Water is circling the drain. We need to act, urgently.

This is really good news for Thames Water customers. Predatory KKR was so bad they were nicknamed "Barbarians at the gate" in the US. It is time the government stopped dithering and took Thames Water into public ownership. It's what 82% of the public wants.

I think we really need to be asking why some Reform councils are so very determined to remove Ukrainian flags. Why would they do that?

MURRAY: Will you allocate the $220m for literacy programs that Congress appropriated? McMAHON: We're looking at the unallocated dollars to determine which of those programs we can best spend on MURRAY: Those funds were appropriated. It looks to me like the dept is illegally impounding funding

National Service is a terrible idea. And many of those who support it voted for the very things and people that have made our world less secure in the first place. So frankly f*** that.

I’m a freedom-loving conservative. I left the Republican Party 5yrs ago. Today, I’m doing something I never thought I’d do - I’m formally joining the Democratic Party. Here’s why:👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

"Old fashioned print media is in decline everywhere but in the mind of the nation’s political class. The result is that our leaders are getting a very warped sense of what the average voter thinks, reads and cares about."

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

I had to literally ask an American friend what it meant about six months ago as I hadn't heard of "DEI" before

Reform's Kent DOGE guys are going to end up costing more money than Kent's ever spent on DEI or whatever manufactured, Americanised culture war issue you care to pick.

Your occasional reminder that in two years' time, Nigel Farage will be taking his gold plated £73,000 annual EU pension.

I don't know if there is a more appropriate goodbye to Loretta Swit, than her last scene in MASH in the series finale. Loretta won two Emmy's for her role as Major Houlihan.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

The V&A Storehouse will give Londoners and visitors free access to an extraordinary collection of creative works, from Roman artefacts to modern-day music archives. I was delighted to see final preparations being made before it opens its doors to the public on Saturday.

"The UK is not a liberal country anymore, thank Goodness we are" say MAGA... Before banning books, jailing bloggers and deporting people with no criminal history.

Everyone’s been stressed about tariffs now the courts have spoken. A panel of federal judges just blocked Trump from imposing some of his steepest tariffs on China and other trading partners, ruling that he far exceeded his authority under federal law. In short, Trump’s tariffs were ruled illegal.

I take the subway by myself multiple times literally every day and the most memorable things that have happened recently are that a very cute dog in a purple sweater was on my train car a few days ago and today a guy with a cane got on and literally four people immediately sprang up so he could sit

Breaking News: A judge said the government should release Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist employed by Harvard University, saying U.S. customs had “no factual or legal basis” for revoking her visa.
