Remember -

Net migration rises: The government has lost control of the borders

Net migration fails: The government has trashed the country so badly that no one wants to come here

I have never felt more strongly supportive of Angela Rayner in my life. Fuck these people.

47% of people think immigration is primarily illegal. There were 4% irregular arrivals in March

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

"Artificial Intelligence will have an impact ten times greater than that of the Industrial Revolution," says somebody whose only knowledge of the Industrial Revolution must come from Artificial Intelligence.

The Times claims that private school numbers going down 1.9% is "higher than expected"

The Independent Schools Council, Mail, Times made exaggerated claims of 25-40%

The IFS modelled a fall of 3-7%

Where was the prediction the Tjmes refers to?

Yes it will.

A very cool technology that allows students to interact with John Maynard Keynes’ ideas as he develops them is called a book

Holy shit the government's Restoring Trust in Democracy policy paper is good.

Because much harsher cuts are coming and Starmer is putting MPs on notice.

A who’s who of who’s not

Wait. Is this the ‘trans women aren’t women crowd’ - yet a silicone coated robot can be?!!

‘The fox’s guide to chicken coop security’

A friend made me a Hobbes and I utterly adore him

Toby seems very keen on authoritarianism for someone running a free speech union.

It’s why, I suspect, people tend to like the ‘straight talking’ politicians of the Farage ilk. If the average voter engages with politics only a tiny amount a week then someone who ‘says it straight’ (despite ‘it’ being clearly bollocks) will be paid more attention.

If Jeff Bezos can spend that much on a wedding, he can afford to pay his taxes and his workers.

A politics lecturer of mine once said that international relations/ law are in the ‘state of nature’.

Is that like saying ‘he sneakily said things where he was, rather than where I wanted him to be’?

King Sir Prince Charles as he appears in the bar to a chorus of 'Oh here he is' and 'They'll let anyone in here'

Who’s pardoning the J6 crims Elon? Who?

Six years ago today, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's. It's not the end, it's a new trickier beginning.

I've carpe'd the diem and slept a lot. I've had four covids,two heart attacks, one wedding, several quiz titles and the best gigs of my career.

I know it's trite. But life is for living. Fight.

It happens every time a new Taskmaster line up is announced and I’ve always been puzzled by people who proclaim their ignorance by moaning that they don’t know one or more of the new contestants. Like dude, stop boasting that you’re unaware of things.

One of Dom’s best political manoeuvres was picking a fight with BoJo’s wife and getting sacked. Meant he didn’t have to eat the catastrophic election loss and he keeps the mystique of being a pol genius while providing run of the mill takes.

‘A family man’ with ‘well behaved kids’. The Mail absolutely wouldn’t use that language if the accused was anything but white middle class.

Saw this meme a couple of years ago about this very thing

@jakethackrayfan.bsky.social a particularly nice Sunday afternoon in Leeds. I’m really enjoying it!

God and the baby Jesus would know

Where did Starmer say this?

Could be worse
