Good to see after years of doing nothing to stand up for his supposed principles as a cough "moderate" he has been able to land on his feet

Good God. We've gone back to the late 1990s, and not the good bits. All he needs now is aggressively over-gelled frosted tips and a shark-teeth necklace.

YOU WANNA SEE A DEAD BODY??? This is the NOW INFAMOUS "Footnote 12" that Jackson wrote. It basically tells Neil Gorsuch: "Fuck you as a staff, label, and motherfucking crew."

You are literally repeating a false claim about USAID funding that comes from Republican supporters of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. It is surreal and shameful to see people who claim to be leftists unthinkingly parroting Republican lies about American aid. www.politifact.com/factchecks/2...

The US did not hit 5% of GDP at the post-Cold War peak of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and is currently nowhere near that high.

one thing Americans might miss because of wankers like Goodhart is that the UK is an overwhelmingly white country as a whole. 83 percent of the population are white! 76 percent of that is 'white British' What sparks the panic is that London is highly multicultural and the pundits all live there.

Don't feel bad if you assumed that the 1987 Tiffany hit #1 single I Think We're Alone Now was about two promiscuous lovers, it's a common misconception. The song, written by Ritchie Cordell and recorded by Tommy James and the Shondells 20 years earlier, is actually about holding in a fart.

40% of all corporation tax owed by small businesses isn't paid. How has this happened, without anyone noticing or caring? Because nobody wants to talk about it. These reactions to the latest HMRC tax gap figures are typical:

Another "UK reverting to middle-income country" data point, where the mid-to-large companies who have to meet external compliance rules and their employees pay taxes, while both oligarchs and the self-employed get away with dodging them and feel no shame about it

One of the more frustrating aspects of debate in Europe and America over developments in Iran is the extent to which it is shaped by analysts and commentators whose links are predominantly with a handful of larger Iranian cities rather than regional towns and rural communities

In 2007, a teen bypassed the federal government's 'world-first' web filter in 30 minutes. In 2025, experts working with the government's 'world-first' teen social media ban tech trial worry that it's not testing for ways kids will side-step the ban. www.crikey.com.au/20...

I cannot emphasize enough how needlessly cruel the UK immigration system is to ordinary people who want a family life together and aren't well-off already, and anyone wanting to make it worse should be shunned.

Sobering, important read. Particularly struck by: "Like Narnia, where it was once always winter and never Christmas, modern political culture is now akin to a carnival which will never become Lent." There is indeed a sense of 'never consequences' which runs through this like mercury.

Speaking as a Balt, this was a resignation-worthy stupid comment on the part of Kallas, not just because it is incredibly offensive but because it is profoundly, incredibly dumb to say this about Ireland on a purely tactical level, like it's /shockingly/ dumb, just dumb dumb dumb
