There's a coverage void for someone to do a prolonged period of 'I love you guys, really I do' to then produce a great magazine piece on what the hell is going on inside the Badenoch set-up at the moment.

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine on “Day One”. Everybody knew it was a lie for his gullible supporters and now his team has confirmed it - any end to the war is “months away”. Trump “misunderstood the complexity of the conflict” his allies babbled to Reuters.

This is really good. Pointing out that Starmer at no point & in no way equated calls for an Inquiry with being ‘far right’ was a very lonely business last week. Here are all the receipts.

Brian Bell of the MAC wants asylum seekers to be able to work in 6 months. Labour dropped this policy in opposition. It wants to focus on processing claims within 6 months. (Claims were taking an average of 22 months in the last parliament) www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

This, from Badenoch, is absolutely the idiom of crackpot conspiracy theory. It's all going a bit Pizzagate down at CCHQ.

At this point, if the Labour govt doesn't make every effort to regulate donations to political parties, & also to get as many people off Twitter as possible, they are shooting themselves in the foot for the next general election. Musk clearly intends to meddle in UK politics, and not in their favour

The BBC needs to have a debate about whether Musk's outbursts should keep leading the news. This isn't about censoring or suppressing his views; it's about whether to amplify them. Most Brits aren't on X, they don't follow Musk & not every raving from a foreign plutocrat should set the news agenda

I have a theory that the seeds of brexit lie in the backlash to the 2012 Olympics Opening ceremony. So there is a kind of poetry to this. Think @jonathancoe.bsky.social has a version of this hypothesis.

Zelenskyy is open to Macron’s proposal to send allied troops to provide security for end to war in Ukraine. France and Baltics likely to provide the troops, Germany and Poland have said they won’t. US and UK unlikely to commit. In exchange Ukraine would need to be allowed in the EU and NATO.

There's a tendency in centre-left politics atm to counterpose "deliverism" and narrative-based politics. But one without the other is a route to failure, not least with Reform UK breathing down Labour's neck. Here's a possible way out, centred on council Housing www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Farage walks out of Sky interview because, apparently, having 1m TikTok followers means not having to answer as party leader, about your MP's failure to disclose being jailed for violent assault. But we should definitely trust Nige's vetting going forward. Unless he gets 2m TikTok followers. ~AA
