Did you do this Dave? Sorry to be that guy but I want to be sure that I share the original.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

"We want people to be living in mixed communities, don't we?"

Robert Jenrick's home is in Eye, Herefordshire, where 165 out of 166 residents were white at the time of the last census.

Anyone reporting on Conservative proposals on this topic should ask
a) why Lam felt the need to make things up to justify them
b) whether they have made their proposals/claimed their "savings" based on her false claims

I don't think Robert Jenrick realises that the people clapping along to him when he talks about Handsworth would clap along if he said the same about Stamford Hill. I'd hope that would give him pause for thought.

Coverage of Jenrick today basically amounts to sane-washing. He didn't criticise judges. He claimed there was a conspiracy by certain judges, who he had discovered and could number, to undermine British law and create open borders.

Iain Lee - Imposter Syndrome worked last night and I think it is something very special.

I play the Rondo Theatre in Bath in February but looking for more venues across teh country. Ideally holding between 80-120.

Do you work for a venue that would like to book me? Or know any?

Tweet from the Department of Homeland Security: "RECAPTURE OUR NATIONAL IDENTITY!

Trump sees all Jewish people worldwide as Israeli nationals in exile, as seen many times from him accusing us of being "disloyal to Israel" or calling Netanyahu "your Prime Minister."

From this nationalist framework, the (((globalists))) who refuse this identification are a particular threat.

Jilly Cooper, I later discovered, wasn’t just unspeakably kind to useless young gossip columnists charged with bothering her at home or pestering her at a party. She was lovely to absolutely everyone. What a gorgeous legacy.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

I know this is obvious when you think about it but we don’t think about it enough: fascists have to cow & persecute decent journalists to prevent them from reporting exactly what they, the fascists, are doing. Fascist-adjacent ‘journalists’ help by insisting that we shouldn’t call fascists facsists.

What an admirably clear statement from the Jewish Leadership Council, especially when all of those involved must surely have been dealing with so many other urgent challenges in safety, security and grief + shock today before having this further divisive and distracting intervention to address too.
