Most impressive politician around, it’s a low bar to be fair, but can tell Zack is going to irritate all the β€˜right’ people.

In what kind of country do political journalists withhold very consequential key facts that they all know about politicians, without having to be told they should keep them quiet, only occasionally alluding to things everyone has always known? A very transparent, democratic one, I’m sure.

I again note that all the lobby hacks appear to have known McSweeney and Starmer were a Peter Mandelson production, and they seem to have known very well that the incoming Labour government would be a Tony Blair Institute enterprise. And it looks like they kept this largely to themselves.

Starmer accused of pushing out some of last progressive allies in No 10 shake-up Exclusive: PM reorganising key parts of government to give chief secretary Darren Jones more Whitehall control

To be fair, I was expecting the business suit and briefcase tactical squad to go straight into Number 10 the day after the election, rope-swinging down from Tony Blair Institute For Change helicopters, just to underline yet again that Fuck you, Britain is not a democracy: you get what *we* want.

The Nobel Peace Prize committee's decision to honour someone who has tirelessly campaigned against dictatorship is both worthwhile and welcome, and objectively very funny.

That said, giving it to someone who opposes noted Trump foe Maduro is also quite clever.

Me: (awesomely smart) let’s give the prize he wants to a notable opponent of that government the Trumpers have been very loudly talking about toppling and replacing (high fiving each other, minds visibly expanding, quivering with intellectual capacity) What’s the worst that could happen

putting a bunch of Tony Blair Institute people in key positions absolutely says β€˜I’m in charge’, very statesmanlike

White House staff should just make and show him an AI-generated video where he wins, fly him to Duluth and tell him it’s Oslo, and dare the New York Times to say anything more than β€œExperts disagree about whether Mr Trump was awarded the Nobel Prize”.

Pretty much the only way they could be more clear would have been picking Tyler Robinson

What? The former lawyer for Andrew Tate who also would tweet out glowing praise for Andrew Tate... is reported to have done an extremely creepy thing regarding a woman?

How surprising.
