Yet another peace plan? What's going on with leaked proposals for a new US/Russia deal

Far too much credibility is being given to the new ‘Trump peace plan’ that would be tantamount to Ukraine’s capitulation. Here I explain why this new plan is far less than it seems and is unlikely to lead to anything. (£/free trial), open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/y...?

Not going to happen

Rapey blethers flock together

This is very true

Are the greens going to have enough candidates to sweep up all the disaffected labour voters in London?

Was absolutely mental!

Labour under Starmer have truly become morally repulsive. I am a lifelong Labour voter, long term member etc and I am appalled

Adam isn’t speculating here: it’s what Reeves did last time (alongside a hefty employers’ NI hike) and it *didn’t* go down well.

It also didn’t raise enough to protect against shocks, hence more rises being needed now.

This is total, dismal, political failure.

Love may be too strong a word but he is still the best PM of my life time by some distance

Hahahaha

“In an email from January 2019, Mr. Epstein wrote to Mr. Wolff of Mr. Trump: “Of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.””

Starting to see why Mike Johnson kept the House shut down for weeks rather than allow the 218th signature to release the Epstein docs…

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

They have learned so little over the course of parliament it is maddening. They should have raised income tax ok first budget and got the pain out of the way then. Multitude of smaller cuts more painful in terms of pissing off interest groups e.g. OAPs, farmers etc

It's been the standard line amongst many labour members I have known for a long time. It's weird how ingrained it has become.

Didn't realise curry sauce was so widespread. Was my choice when living in Dublin

Getting the pun on here because you fear they will spike it from your match report?

Will probably get a pay rise

I think you're on to something there. He definitely turned sour

Good win. Should have been by a more comprehensive scoreline. Not sure how Spurs kept 11 men on the pitch. Spurs were really poor as well

This second half performance has been appalling. Delap a moron. Lucky to get away with it.

Starmer and McSweeney desperately need to be jettisoned if there is to be any hope of Labour salvaging something from this period of power. What an absolute shambolic waste of a landslide it has been so far.

The outright surrender to racist discourse by mainstream politicians and the media is utterly fucking depressing. Sick of it.

Well that was rubbish #chesun

Bar/club in Dublin during my student days - he was a massive nob

Not liked them since Evan Dando told me to fuck off when I asked him politely for a light

Katie Lam’s immigration panic is built on lies As a Tory proposes the harshest migration policy since Idi Amin’s, data shows the public doesn't understand the numbers - thanks to politicians too venal or timid to tell the truth

“Labour is losing more voters to the Greens and the Lib Dems than it is losing to Reform, not least because many are appalled at Labour’s cowardice on immigration—at seeing the government essentially concede the argument to Reform and the newly extremist Conservatives without even trying to fight.”

Got to say that I'm not sure Labour (M Sweeney) approach of holding your existing voting coalition in contempt and reaching out to racist boomer Reform voters is working terribly well

More like a dictator - most kings are constitutionally limited and have been for a long time

It's very silly but was an enjoyable enough romp. But I very nearly stopped after the ridiculous leprechaun depiction of the IRB

Think we’ve crossed a pretty major threshold – and a very bad one – if a journalist working in the lobby for a major newspaper group can tweet like this without professional consequences.
