Oh boy...

Who wins: Winston Churchill, or Sharia Law?

How many front pages is that quote going to end up as the splash on?

I'll be conservative and say three

An evergreen post format:

Disgraceful bigotry by Badenoch

We, quite rightly, condemn the antisemitic notion that British Jews are ' more loyal to Israel'. We should, too, call this for what it is: blatant Islamophobia

Mahmood is, presumably, smart enough to know that her “this will stop racism” line has no basis in reality

So why is she risking her political reputation, the economy, and the broader party’s standing over this? It feels inexplicable

I’m appalled by this from the Mail. Ugly, straightforward racism, and amplifying the spurious claim of its favoured candidate (even the Reform party chair said last week that any irregularities wouldn’t have changed the result).

Man who doesn’t realise you can reload firearms:

It’s very amusing to watch the knife crime guys at Shoreditch station walk up to a blacked-out Mercedes and hand the driver a wad of cash through the window - really screams ‘legitimate enterprise’

I appreciate it's probably hard to make this not look goofy in live-action, but 😬

u fuckin wot mate

An unerring instinct for taking the wrong tone. Most Labour MPs are decent people who see Reform, not the Greens, as the danger to the country. This approach - where KS blames anything but his own leadership - is going to go down like a lead balloon.

This statement is so unhinged, I had to go away and check that it was even real

It's also a total mess of syntax and bad grammar. "crack-cocaine"? And what is with that first sentence?

As the below demonstrates

Labour isn't the only party with this issue (hello, Matt Goodwin), but it would benefit parties generally to stop picking candidates who are, to be frank, total arseholes

Even when these candidates win, they end up being a liability in parliament (see Mike Tapp, Steve Reed, etc)

I keep thinking of @dylandifford.bsky.social's point that everything wrong with the McSweeney-Starmer governing strategy was obvious to anyone who had done the most basic and broad of first year political science.

Semi-adjacent to this is my frustration with the whole David Graeber, 'Bullshit Jobs' grouping which HR people get lumped into

Not knowing exactly what they do isn't a sign that they're some amorphous, pointless part of a business - it's a sign you're too lazy to bother finding out

Oxford Street pedestrianisation plan gets final official approval City Hall hopes to stop traffic from using the street by September.

💥Oxford St Pedestrianisation Approved💥

With the majority of Londoners supporting the change, I'm delighted @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social has approved the plans to transform this iconic street.

claude is neither alive nor conscious but it *does* display behaviour characteristic of british prime ministers

The 2%, presumably, said Clefairy

This is delightful

Depressingly foreseeable. I do wonder about the counterfactual here: had they just made 'Skate 4' and released it as a full, premium title, would it have performed better?

That's totally fair too. Though I'm surprised, even if on a purely cynical level, that Labour at least haven't tried to say "yeah a lot of this is Osbourne's fault"

Blair, certainly, cops a lot of blame from the Tories

I can totally believe that too. It's really quite remarkable how far charm can take you!

I do also wonder if there's more of a story behind why Osborne is still held in such high regard by many, beyond 'he's chummy with everyone'?

Keir Starmer tried to pick him for US ambassador, for goodness sake. That's not a normal thing to do for an opposition politician

shotgun not me but think there's scope here for a proper, lengthy, meaty feature looking at every single policy area in Britain that's currently fucked specifically because of a decision George Osborne took, reckon you could make it an actual mag cover, his fingerprints are everywhere

If you palled around with a convicted pedophile you deserve to be cancelled. If that seems harsh to you reread the first sentence and explain to me why it's okay to pal around with a convicted pedophile.

You love to see it
