Ehh, maybe not in terms of direct losses to Reform, but I worry that could lead people to understating the significance of, like, a fifth SNP term and a possible Plaid government

Was gonna say I wasn’t sure if this was a Brown dig, or a Blair in 2026 dig, but I guess either result is a win/win for you

With Mandelson in prison, the electorate eagerly sent signals that Starmer should arrest another senior New Labour figure

(Obviously Gorton and Denton is a better example for this comparison, I just hadn’t thought of it until now)

Like, yes, it’s just a council by election, but that sort of tactical voting cohesion still existing when a Labour government is *this* unpopular is not nothing

Theory - the second referendum campaign was Britain’s Barry Goldwater moment: a short term failure but a long-term turning point for the country’s politics

Difficult to remember what it was like for the UK to have an incompetent dying government spiralling into oblivion while making everything worse for themselves

Key & Peele: Pre-fight Trash Talking
YouTube video by CGMe Key & Peele: Pre-fight Trash Talking

it's a real-life version of the key and peele boxing sketch where the one boxer is talking trash for a fight promo, but the other boxer is describing what he's about to do. god's lessons are so beautiful

I honestly think all this into Truss might be the hardest i've laughed at anything this decade

Not enough appreciation for my use of the long s here, frankly

I mean, I did just copy out an actual bounty poster and then tweaked it but, still, I could’ve half-aΕΏΕΏed it

Like, I quoted them so you could laugh at them, not actually waste energy trying to sway them

Johnson would've done Starmer hands down. There's maybe a 2% delta between Labour landslide & Tory majority, and Boris would've beat Starmer by 5 or 10.

Okay, I’ve blocked them to prevent more of you getting into an argument with an account that apparently only follows me for some reason. This was the tweet

Life On Mars reboot where he realises he’s gone back in time because he walks into a newsagent and sees a headline that’s something like KORMA KARMA FOR TWO BEERS STARMER

I’m not sure if it’s wise to post the actual screenshot but, yes, that was very funny. Was within the same 24 hours as him trying to sack Rayner and ending up promoting her

this reminds me of Trek, which produced some *very* strong trans coded characters but have universally dropped the ball on every explicit "we're dong a trans episode :)"

They did, but that period was already its end when Matt tweeted that, he was just in denial

Since I’m reminiscing on 2022, this is still sitting in my notes app from when a bunch of pundits were whining that Labour didn’t applaud Boris in his last PMQs

A tweet by Matt Goodwin, Reform candidate in the 2026 Gorton and Denton by election, dated 6th of May, 2022. It reads, with the first four sentences in quotes, as

"They will never vote Boris again"

"Johnson has killed the Tory brand"

"Partygate is a total game changer"

"The Red Wall has left Boris"

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

Another terrible 2 years for Twitter.

On the subject of tweets by Tories overconfident after the 2022 locals were slightly less of a bloodbath than expected

I’m still reasonably sure I was the reason Tim Shipman’s β€œsquatting toad” tweet became a britpol meme

I realise mid-2022 was a bad time for a lot of people, especially Ukrainians, but, God, those were heady days for me

I’d posit that TV is actually often quite good at writing autistic characters, it just has a terrible track record when it’s *trying* to write autistic characters
