I have to admit I calibrated my expectations on Badenoch wrong. I thought she'd struggle but I didn't think she'd be so staggeringly inept at the absolute basics of the job.

I see Honest Bob Jenrick has a new little video attacking barristers for representing unpopular clients. Once again for those at the back: Lawyers are not their clients. Which is how, when Jenrick broke the law in government, he had lawyers to defend him.

People sneering at "e-mail jobs" are so funny because it's so rarely an actual blue-collar worker doing it. It's always some dude named David who is a part-time podcaster, part-time SaaS entrepreneur (pre-revenue, pre-product), full-time trust fund kid, yearning to send everyone else to the mines.

"Even by the standards of 2025, the dishonesty and venality of Jenrick’s move here is worthy of note. It is less a dogwhistle than a foghorn, relying on misleading the public into thinking a relatively routine and longstanding mutual tax agreement is something new and appalling."

#BuyEuropean “Just so everybody is clear. The reason why Trump's UK tariff is 10% and not like EU's 20% has absolutely NOTHING to do with Keir Starmer being a brilliant negotiator, or Trump loving an invite from the King. It's because we're not as good at selling stuff to the USA as the EU is.”

Despite backing the US in every major conflict this century—and offering to water down our tax on US tech billionaires—we’ve been rewarded with the same tariffs as Iran. It’s like we’re meant to be grateful Trump gave our friends a black eye and left us with just a wedgie.
