Private Eye acknowledges the genius of our political commentariat.

This is such a weird thing to say (from the MP, not Sam), and yeah, really indicative of the information environment they are uncritically swimming in.

I appreciate all of these detailed analysis of what’s wrong with the policy, but the crucial thing to keep in mind here is that Donald Trump sincerely, literally does not understand what a tariff is and when that is your starting point, nothing beyond it really matters.

Yeah the AV referendum was an add-on referendum. You barely remembered it as it was going on (is my recollection). In London, it didn’t even coincide with locals. Different to Brexit or IndyRef which you couldn’t escape.

Another drop in London house prices plus the slowest private rent growth in the country according to the ONS.
TfL data has passenger journeys down by 4% year on year as of October 25.

Sorry but it’s obviously AI 😂

Yeah if you hold an Irish passport then you have to enter the EU with it, but the UK equivalent system also allows you to enter with it due to CTA.

And the EU have done this exact thing too. You have to enter the EU on your EU passport if you hold one.

Not even hiding the co-pilotism of that. Like nails on a blackboard 😵‍💫
