“She gave me a kiss and said “Oh, I’m glad you got that out of your system”…”
My utter thanks to Neil Kinnock and @lewisgoodall.com for genuinely one of the most absorbingly beautiful podcasts I’ve ever listened to pca.st/episode/81a3...
Now for the litmus test: just how much hate will MAGA direct towards the woman who beat their beloved “peace president” to the NPP?
Such peace-loving people…

In that vein, former Cameronite and erstwhile Remainer Robert Jenrick strikes me as the most dangerous man in British politics.
Every time this remarkable gentleman writes or says anything, I feel my populist-addled sanity click back into place.
A hero and a titan.
Absolutely not.
Cameron has always been the yardstick for just how far the Tories have fallen and of how inarticulate, ineffective and inelegant British politics has become as a whole.

It appears that #F1 is now so populist that the feed is literally prioritising close-ups of the driver’s girlfriends over showing the actual racing.
Completely unacceptable TV direction by FOM. youtu.be/GeDPIKZq0eg?...
I differ from @owenjones.bsky.social politically, but I think it’s pretty telling that only Chris Bryant had the intellectual self-confidence to discuss Gaza in anything than polyfiller platitudes.
Jones’ expulsion speaks of a govt brittle to all but total acquiescence youtu.be/RLApab1L1-E?...
Verstappen’s lines, commitment and track usage are unsurprisingly impeccable.
Truly indistinguishable from a GT3 professional or a Nordschleife stalwart. youtu.be/9GaMD3FhTIQ?...

He is a Frankenstein of human awfulness to such an extent that it requires sustained, conscious effort to remind oneself that he is an actual real person.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Inasmuch as I detest his presence, there is something superbly British about taking the tangerine chimp and presenting him with a kindly old man who likes gardening and feeding him chicken ballotine as Ave Maria plays mellifluously in the background.
Civility in the populist age.
To those mythologising Charlie Kirk as a democratic fellow-traveler and purveyor of vanilla, mainstream conservatism (those like Boris Johnson no less), may I present the views of Charlie Kirk:

Precisely because it is so appalling, it is staggering to see senior politicians and media figures commenting at a time when we don’t have firm evidence about motive or the murderer.

My hatred for this is so vast and intricate it could be mapped, catalogued, and taught as a postgraduate course.

Farage’s pantomime nationalism is venality in a blazer: all froth, no substance. To believe deportation is a unilateral act is to think diplomacy is a pub eviction—shout, shove, and problem solved.
