So... this just happened.

"Isn't it interesting: 1 am probably the most scrutinised figure in British politics, having been in public life for 32 years. Several books and thousas of stories have been written about me, but it is only now that my party is leading in the polls that these allegations come out. I will leave the public to draw their own conclusions about why that might be.

This is going to ring true to this guy’s idiot fan base because it’s largely true. Timing may not make any difference to the allegations but it’s true we are now getting a very late, very isolated bout of Noticing Things that could and should have been noticed many years earlier.

Can you please put The Greatest Internet Video Of All Time on YouTube for easy sharing? It's very timely given that Farage's cuntery is very much in the news. Thanks.

Your wish is my command.

We know that’s not true!

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

The real BBC bias story, narrated by Anna Ford

Liz Truss due to her brief stint as PM receives a lifetime pension worth £100,000 annually and £1 million in 24 hour year round security.

Funded by the taxpayer to spend all her time talking down the UK.

Trying to gaslight the present.

Oh absolutely. Even without considering AI, it's got IT fiasco written all over it. Fujitsu and doubtless busy preparing a bid now....

It doesn't take a genius to predict that it will result in some hurriedly employed, inexperienced people making poor decisions that wreck lives (think Windrush) and subsequent legal claims that drag on for years and cost £billions.

On a practical questions, how is the Home Office (underfunded, in crisis and can't even handle the current asylum claims) going to cope with reviewing every asylum seeker's claim every 2-3 years for 20 years? That's a MASSIVE logistical undertaking. Hugely expensive and complex.

How it started:
Mahmood: "Dark forces are stirring up anger in this country, and seeking to turn that anger into hate. We must take the opportunity we have to stop that from happening."

How it's going:

"Quick, get more meat from the fridge! The tigers are back at the door, if we can feed them enough they'll go away!"

The Briefing Room - Why does the UK have a problem with productivity? - BBC Sounds What are the consequences of the UK's low productivity growth?

A really interesting listen for anyone who wants to get beyond the surface of the budget.

My summary - we're pretty stuffed because over the last couple of decades we've underinvested (austerity) and made stupid decisions (brexit). We need to think long term.

Worth remembering too the old truism that administration of means testing benefits can cost more than the actual benefits themselves. A similar situation could occur here. We could spend an absolute fortune checking and rechecking working immigrants while child poverty rises.

One aspect to this, beyond the abhorrent morality of it... Asylum seekers are going to have their cases reviewed every 2.5 years I believe, for 20 years. That's a LOT of expensive admin. The Home Office is in utter chaos and we're trying to cut spending. How....?

How it's going... There's isn't a face or a palm big enough.

Do you rely on others for support?

From the new Private Eye, out now.

As soon as a UK government of any party appoints a brown female politician as a Home Secretary my heart sinks because I know the only way she has reached that position is a willingness to cheerlead the most racist , cruel inhumane policies that no senior white male MP would dare to announce.

The Home Secretary says "we have become the destination of choice in Europe, clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world"

That is a factually untrue claim: the Home Office shows that the UK is fifth, getting 1/10 claims, while Germany gets 1/5 claims

This is awful beyond words. On behalf of men, I'm so sorry.

The whole point in talking about labour vote share, the "smug" point you can't see the point of, is that Starmer can't win in 2029 without broad support, no matter how well he "directs his resources". He could learn something from the 2017 and even 2019 elections about building broad support.

It certainly wasn't sold that way. 2020-24, Starmer was hellbent on rejecting the Corbyn era, anyone associated with it, anyone who spoke in favour of it, any policies associated with it. He drove people out of the party, reflected in the lower vote share. Worked in 2024, unlikely to work in 2029.

Then why did Starmer abandon every aspect of the 2019 manifesto? Despite promising to stand by it in 2020?

Based today's immigration announcements, it's clear labour are going to continue to lurch right. The result - a Reform govt in 2029 as progressives desert the party.

'Centrists' determination to play partisan politics rather than honestly assess the party's fortunes 2015-19 has partly led to this.

The entire narrative by labour and the media since 2020 is "Corbyn and his policies were toxic and deeply unpopular". This narrative is simply not bourne out by the facts (vote shares being part of that) and it's a narrative that's pushed labour to the right with disastrous results.
