Extraordinary that in these fractious & divided times, so many of us can unite around the single, simple fact that Matthew Goodwin is an irredeemable twat.

Certain people: a 52/48 result on a low turnout in a consultative referendum is an emphatic mandate to fuck the country forever

Same people: this massive electoral defeat for us is because woke moslems cheated

Without family voting, British Asians would have instead voted for…the guy who thinks that they are not British? Or the woman who both reputable polls showed in third place? Seems legit!

Think when we talk about quality of politicians we need to focus on just how awful we collectively make it to be one.

It's partly why I'm now fairly unconvinced by the "pay them more" argument.

Asked about votes if it was a two party contest to win, these poll respondents would vote for Greens to beat Reform 39-25, for Labour to beat Reform 33-28, for Greens to beat Labour 32-23. (That is also then asked separately of 120+ Undecideds, with what look like broadly similar patterns)

How Reuters captured the photo of former Prince Andrew leaving custody Slumped in the back seat of his Range Rover, a visibly shaken man once referred to as the "Playboy Prince" stares ahead of him as the car leaves Aylsham police station in Norfolk, England.

The entire world has seen the photograph - Phil Noble is the Reuters photographer who took it.

Elon Musk is talking about Nigel Farage's Reform Party: he says Reform are trying to eradicate white people in Britain.

He is a radicalised + increasingly racist lunatic - obsessed with theories of white racial extinction + promoting the idea of civil war in Britain

This is everything it should be - meticulously researched, deeply thought out, uncomfortably probing, scrupulously fair, AND ALSO outrageously entertaining.

This is how progressives should tell stories. An hour flew by.
