Trump's migrant obsession offers Starmer a rare win - but Farage has scared him off We have a golden opportunity to kick-start the British economy

Trump's $100,000 skilled worker visa fee gives Britain a golden opportunity to attracted global talent. Needless to say, we're going to piss it away because we're scared of upsetting Nigel Farage.

"I'm afraid of what happens if I stop feeling too much. I don't want to become someone who moves and breathes like all of this is normal. I am afraid of what that would make me. I am afraid of what that tendency has already made me, in some ways, and what it has made the world."

We are definitely in an era where a disturbing portion of our news sounds like deranged, satirical Mad Libs.

Well every election for literally the whole past century has been fought to decide whether Labour or the Tories get to form the next government.

So yes?

‘Be careful what you wish for…’ – LabourList Tory conference ends today with a speech by Kemi Badenoch. Did you notice it was happening? As a reader of a political website, you might…

The demise of the Tories may finally be fatal. But that isn't all good news for Labour. Our editor @emmaburnell.bsky.social analyses the pitfalls for the party in Tory demise.

To adapt @driftglass.bsky.social forgetting is the Conservative superpower.

I remember an actual journalist not that long after Yvonne Ridley's sudden conversion to Jihadism showing me her card which featured a picture of the al-Aqsa Mosque and a suitably bloodthirsty quote from Sayid Qutb.

Israel are welcome to her.

go ahead. give in.
they will be back for more tomorrow

And there's the rub.

No policy overhaul can survive association with Starmer who Labour has to terminate with extreme prejudice if we are going to prevent the Farage Reich.

Support for digital ID plummets after Starmer announces policy More In Common polling showed net support for the scheme had dropped from plus 35% in June to minus 14% over the weekend.

BBC News currently showing what looks like an interesting report, but the subtitles are underneath the banner for most of it. Does anyone from the control room keep an eye on what *actually* goes out?

Isn’t it amazing the way life can seem too short, and intrinsically magical, yet at the same time feel like a long, uphill road, potholed with fuckwits?

Which is what they said in 1715 and 1846 and 1906 - and yet back the Tories came.

The monster!

Re-reading the great Patrick O'Brian whose Jack Aubrey is for several books unable to leave his ship when he is in port (and at one point has to be spirited in and out of London hiding in a hearse) due to fear of being imprisoned for debt.

Which was a serious deterrent way into the 20th century.

See IIRC the very first episode of Fawlty Towers...

IIRC both Robert Anton Wilson and Tom Stoppard also took fictional advantage of Lenin, Joyce, Einstein and Tzara all living in Zurich during WW1.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Luigi showed what to do.

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Dual state you say? It sounds so familiar.

Honestly I find the idea of going to the Gulf states on holiday so instinctively repulsive that I forget how many people do. There are so much nicer and cheaper and less morally appalling places in the world!
