I said “the more we elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate” but I want to communicate with other dead writers on this elaborate medium: Whom, like @levostregc.bsky.social or @shakespeare.lol , should I follow?
Is there a #starterpack perhaps?

The VIP Lane scandal refuses to go away…

If you want to read more about the PPE Medpro, Baroness Mone PPE deals and why this really is just the tip of the iceberg please do check out my new book: viplanebook.com

Ladies of The Realm have responsibilities as well as yachts!

I feel a bit sorry for Michelle Mone tbh.
I mean, who amongst us hasn't exploited their position to win a £121 million contract to supply dodgy PPE during a deadly pandemic which turned out to be no better than poundland bin bags?

No rank hypocrisy going on here guys

Article by (previous) Lord Rothermere entitled Hurrah for the blackshirts

I’m old enough to remember Daily Mail cheering ‘Hurrah for the Blackshirts’

Public Ladies of the Realm have responsibilities as well as yachts!

Yvette Cooper, "Of course we should challenge a political party that goes across the world running Britain down"

"As opposed to flying the flag for Britain across the world" #C4News

Today's speech was easily the best Starmer has given.

For the first time since the election, he told a compelling - & optimistic - story about what the government is trying to do; charged that story with moral purpose; & drew clear battle lines with the Right.

A few quick thoughts & a challenge...

My brother Tom is gone out of town this day, to make a second journey to his mistress at Banbury, of which I have good expectations, and pray God to bless him therein.

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

I really don't think "barring journalists you find annoying from your conference" is a good look for any political party, and I wish the people running Labour would stop looking at Reform and going "Oooh THAT's a good idea".

Spoken like a Socialist crank! I love to hear it!
No more of Farage’s goose-steps towards fire and blood and anguish.

He sounds like a socialist crank! Excellent!

Public men have responsibilities as well as privileges. Americans would do well to listen to my Inspector Goole.

If ever there was a time not to normalize Trump’s authoritarian fever dreams, this is it.

This should be impeachable. ‘War ravaged’ Portland? He’s insane - & insanely power hungry. The script is set - call an imaginary group a terror group and then send in the troops.

We know where this ends:
In fire and blood and anguish!

We know where this ends:

“What you young fellows… don’t seem to understand is…”
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
YOUR POWER!
Get out and vote! I did in 1945 & we changed the country! You can, too!

Good! Great speech!
We’ll have no more of Farage’s march towards fire and blood and anguish!

Rachel Reeves' dig at Reform: "My patriotism is not measured by how quick you are to exclude, how loudly you shout, how willing you are to exploit every division, but a patriotism measured by our obstinate determination, impatience, and commitment to building a better, fairer Britain." ~AA #Lab25

So good I could’ve written that for Inspector Goole! We’ll have none of Farage’s march towards fire and blood and anguish!

She sounds like one of those Socialist cranks! Excellent!
