This used to be a newspaper. It used to be a voice that stood by the Conservative conception of national sovereignty, a moral understanding of the nation state, alliances of principle against tyranny, territorial integrity, the international order. Observe it succumb to cowardice & national decline

As you know, I'm very polite and personal abuse is usually beneath me but Tim Stanley is the most titanic shithouse of a human being. The face, the voice, the fashy grovelling. The rotten decadence of British conservatism in a flesh suit.

Of course he shouldn’t do it. But man, is this guy the real deal, or what? A true leader. Someone who puts country over self. The very definition of patriot. He embodies everything our current leadership is not and couldn’t be.

Also, you're going to diss Romania for having a fragile democracy? The country which overthrew its last dictator in the year Nirvana released Bleach? Er, yes. It's fragile. Read a book.

Predictably the lads who've accused everyone else of insufficient patriotism for their entire online existences have en masse begun to cheer on a foreign power hurting the UK's interests. Who could've predicted such a shocking turn of events?

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

That’s the worst refereeing performance I’ve seen since Michael Oliver refereed the Pickford/Van Dijk game. He’s the best in the country, apparently.

Long's account on Bluesky is no longer active, presumably part of a broader lockdown of her public profile to deal with the completely predictable harassment and threats that Musk engineered.

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

Clean Up Politics. Public funding of all elections and no foreign money. I’ll be the Donor calling for an end to Donors - similar to the millionaire calling for more tax…:)

The Musk model: just accuse everyone else of lying while you tell demonstrable lies, again and again. And millions believe it. We are in an unbelievably dangerous moment for democracy right now, with the entire public square polluted and undermined by the tech bosses.

Cancel culture is out of control now. You can't even film yourself snorting cocaine during a paid work trip. Be xenophobic. Or show an extreme level of bias that undoubtedly affects work performance. These people just don't want referees to have fun.

@sonyplaystation.bsky.social think it's absolutely disgusting that you're charging £700 for the #ps5pro and you don't even get a vertical stand (£25 extra!) For £700 you should be getting the duel sense edge pad as well as the stand ffs!

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss. She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’ Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻‍♂️
