Stripped of the GB News-y vocab, these are EXACTLY the policy preferences of actual core Labour voters.

Entirely predictably, the costs of blanket social media bans for under-16s are borne by disabled and neurodivergent children.

The latest in 'we're now in a era of bloc politics'

Will be more going on under the hood - but you can almost see straight intra-bloc transfers here (which was evident on the door)

This is very good. Clear, succinct, anchored in scholarship and crystal-clear in its recommendations.

Is this from Leviticus or Deuteronomy? I can never remember.

Two points. 1. There was Epstein merch? 2. This seems to have been taken in 2009. Epstein was first convicted in 2008, meaning that Mandelson is sporting convicted paedophile merch.

@peterjukes.bsky.social has been joining the dots in light of the latest Epstein releases. It's an extraordinary story about moves to deregulate crypto, centring a new financial order on Russia and - to deliver on those aims - the strategic de-stablisation of liberal democracies (incl. Brexit).

Reform pivoting to plunging children back into poverty for the sake of a slightly cheaper pint.

A great piece by @iandunt.bsky.social that provides not only a delicious skewering of Matt Goodwin, but also (and perhaps more importantly) offers a striking thesis on how Goodwin's brand of politics has been able to flourish.

Well, Leverhulme is definitely the craft beer of finders compared to - say - the Carling Black Label of UKRI.

As a former resident of (the then not at all hipster) Levenshulme, I read this with great interest. It’s a brilliantly detailed and subtle analysis of the forthcoming by-election - especially good on the complexities of the left ‘bloc’ and the perils (for Reform) of Goodwin’s candidacy.

Oh.

Alternative explanation. The West Ham-Villa conflation is an already established cognitive phenomenon (see the alleged footballing allegiance(s) of David Cameron),

Hell yes. The lingering suspicion must be that Trump is so obsessed with Greenland because he thinks it's absolutely huge (it's big, but not Mercator big).

Between 1972 and 1985, my team - for most of that period in the top flight of English football - featured in live televised matches on five occasions. And that was a lot by the standards of the time.
