From the man who backed out of a fight with Mark Zuckerberg and an appearance on the Daily Show: "I literally challenged Putin to one on one physical combat". This is "my dad works for Nintendo" level stuff.

you would discourage dishonesty from politicians by asking “who told you that?” when they lie, rather than stating that other people have said something else. I mean: “canada has been taken over by mexican cartels” a. “the canadian government says that’s not true” vs b. “who told you that?”

Every day I think about something @morganj0nes.bsky.social said (paraphrasing from memory): “At some point you have to decide if you’re going to be led by your values or your resentments.” The anti-woke people, the anti-anti-Trump people, chose their resentments and look where it took them

As Honest Bob Jenrick tours the country repeating far-right conspiracy talking points about “two-tier sentencing”, here is the letter his own government sent to the Sentencing Council last year approving the very Guidelines he now claims are evidence of “two-tier Keir”. The man is a fraud.

Patricia Bauman died a year ago. ActBlue is a payment processor. Almost anyone who’s given to a D candidate in the last 20 years could be mischaracterized as a “ActBlue funder.” Listing five Jews, two of whom are long dead, as “ActBlue funders” secretly behind the Tesla protests is antisemitism.

I know it's hopeless but I hope people in the UK remember the DOGE-woes the next time some populist douchecanoe claims that fixing Britain's problems is a simple matter of putting a businessman in charge, firing half the civil service, and lighting a regulatory bonfire. Shit's hard, yo.

So it goes without saying, but let's say it anyway: the concentration of attacks on trans people isn't because trans people are the only people fascists hate (although they absolutely do hate them). It's because they're the people they think non-fascists are least likely to defend.

Almost every assertion of fact and law in Honest Bob Jenrick’s latest far-right-tickling rant is false. But because I’m me, I feel it most important to point out that the statue of Lady Justice above the Old Bailey is famously not blindfolded. As any real lawyer knows.

Some in Labour HQ may want to reflect on this - here’s a policy which has drastically improved air quality, benefitting the poorest citizens. But Starmer’s LOTO started criticising it because a couple of Clarkson bigmouths complained in focus groups & they (wrongly imho) blamed it for Uxbridge loss

Many of the scientists that the Trump administration is defunding and persecuting will be working on strategically important technologies and research areas. The UK and other European countries should urgently establish programmes to bring those researchers here.
