Incredibly i thought this was real for a moment

Oh he'll weasel his way in somehow, and ideally promptly be bitten by a rat in his new office

Labelling Hannah Spencer as someone more interested in dividing society than uniting it was a stupid place to begin, and it never recovered from there

This is political suicide by letter, right? He's basically begging them to defenestrate him

Things being done 'quietly' is always a red flag

'only in the 1980s did [inequality] start to rise to levels unique in the western world, aided and abetted by governments that became hooked on tax revenues from the City, as if mainlining heroin.' Syed comes so close to the point

'There is a forgotten generation of white British voters. They feel sidelined. Confused'. Aren't these the racists and Europhobes the government's been placating for over a decade?

presumably the internet telling him he was a moron ad infinitum got to him

Incredible to write two opening paragraphs that are smug, vacuous, and appallingly written all at the same time

What social media gave us The bans on it are right but it added to the intellectual life of the world

At this point Ganesh is being kept on so that everyone knows they have a shot at an FT byline, right? giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Fantastic post by @profmarkelliott.bsky.social illustrating why the High Court's decision not to quash the unlawful (at least for now) proscription order of PA is conceptually, and arguably pragmatically, problematic. This case also shows why legal theory, and conceptual clarity especially, matter

No helping you there I'm afraid, join in the fun or suck it up

Could I suggest finding different friends

I mean, no one is forcing you to watch?

And inevitably, this grubby little government will appeal because it believes bigotry and intolerance will bring about popularity en masse

Look forward to the Court of Appeal upholding the High Court before the Supreme Court finds some tenuous way to defer to executive action

Palestine Action judgment here www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/u...

Just wait for the Supreme Court to overturn it...

That piece felt twice as long as it was

My favourite part of politics is when Lib Dems come up with policy, like toddlers imagining themselves driving a train

It's totally insane that this has been going on for decades now. It'll take a notre dame for them to do anything

Good to know Polanski's Greens are just as shitty as every other party going

This is a beautiful story, but I important to read the 'this is the basket where we keep all the escaped bones' post in context

It's so infuriating

'i wasn't clever enough so I embraced racism'

What a relief, Ganesh wrote this so I know I'm right

Welcome to the joys of the sacrificing taste for moral worthiness club
