Væry excited tø reåd this!

Agreed - so is Apple, and Google. You can get the pod from any platform you like tho

Hahaha 👏

"Davos hand warmer" sounds like a Private Eye euphemism for a bribe but no a real thing

Turns out Davos is the centre not just of elite level capitalist power but also elite level cursed objects open.spotify.com/episode/2zNN...

Another new @cursedobjectsuk.bsky.social episode, with a very special guest on a very timely subject: Davos, its weird global elites and weirder freebies cursedobjects.podbean.com/e/davos-hand...

This was my first week of it, for obvious reasons, and it was grimly revealing - the first one AC just scoffs in disbelief a lot. The second and third he is angrier about being 'betrayed'

Omg so well put

And fascinating to hear so many pundits express their shock and awe that neoliberal capitalism and a healthy democracy might (gasp) be working in opposition to one another... and then making soft sops to the idea of limiting the influence of big money on politics - which they will forget in a week

It has been extraordinary listening to The Rest is Politics this week, listening to Campbell trying (and often struggling) in real time to formulate the best response to the implication of the entire New Labour project in this

On Politics: Mandelson and the Private Life of Power

Best of the pods on this so far 🫡 @piercepenniless.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/399w...

And to come at it from a "wider culture" angle, to supplement the (terrible) data, as @jonathanliew.bsky.social has covered, "Keir Starmer is a wanker" was effectively a national meme before the Epstein files were released! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Mixing my platforms but the point stands

Story quickly becomes a lot less weird if you are even vaguely aware of Labour Together

phew yes stay alto! hope it passes asap and without incident.(hope this isn't rubbing it in but i'm going to sta cruz de tenerife, woo - just going to keep going south till i find some sun lol)

Thought I'd finally read Doppelganger by Naomi Klein and, well, quite

Morning, crossing fingers for you! Heavy rain up here in Sevilla too (supposed to be flying out this afternoon)

As a season ticket holder for a League 1 football club who will likely be back in League 2 next season, this comparison struck a particularly acute note, lol

It is a constant source of derangement to me that I spent my entire 20s lamenting New Labour's reactionary degradation of Labour history, only to realise now how much more progressive they were than Starmer's administration. A brilliant piece by Alan here

This mendacious drivel should be a resigning issue, for both the author and anyone who thought it was right to publish it

Yesterday I happened to be listening to Tony Benn's diaries from the 2000s, when his son Hilary became an MP. Seeing his name on this proud Labour announcement... ugh

Sincere thanks Phlegm! If that is even your real name

Loool ffs and thank you - a typo i am apparently so uniquely blind to that i missed it in both the substack i proofread 20 times, and your reply here 🤦 thanks for persevering in the face of my idiot brain, will correct that now!

Thanks so much! I mean yeah technically it's monochrome I guess? Rather than entirely black. That is what he wore tho 🤷
