I don't think working journalists should do PR consulting for notorious pedophiles, no.

Plenty of sick bags to go around, but Michael Wolff is doing nothing to alter my view that access journalism is squalid, despicable business.

If I'm reading the room correctly, House Democrats have just sabotaged Senate Democrats' dumb/corrupt plan to end the shutdown with some stomach-churning emails. Is that about right?

Guys, I've got a plan *does massive bong hit* hear me out *snorts a Scarface-sized pile of cocaine* I've sorted this. What will really fix us up *rubs ketamine into my eyeballs* What we need *chugs an old White Lightning bottle refilled with LSD* is a candidate who can be "the grown up in the room".

I know Wes Streeting is an awful person, but as a fellow Essex scumbag I took against him instantly when I first heard him pronounce anything 'ANYTHINK'.
My dad rightly beat that estuarine excrescence out of my mouth with a hot brick.

I'm genuinely disturbed by my own lack of surprise. You know what I mean? OF COURSE they fucked the poor town over. Of course they did.

Are we certain Morgan McSweeney doesn't work for Nigel Farage?

It amazes me that they pay all these pollsters and consultants vast amounts of money to feed them nonsense when all they need do is walk into any Wetherspoons and ask the first person they see.

Pointless thought exercise, but do we think the country would be in better shape if Starmer had shanked Morgan McSweeney instead of Sue Gray?

I suspect that strategy will be equally successful.

It's wild to watch, isn't it. Labour insiders actually believe Wes Streeting, who won his seat by single digits, has the common touch.
Much of what we're experiencing is truly menacing and conspiratorial, but it's directly enabled my massive, unforced, rake-stepping incompetence.

It feels like everything @ashcanpress.com has written led up to We're Taking Everyone Down With Us. Not a wasted or clunky line in the finale. If you missed the issues, get the graphic novel. Its Bond, Venture Bros, & a lot more. The ending will remind you what this always was in case you forgot.

I see the Labour Party is planning to oust Starmer in favour of Wes Streeting, the only man in the party with less charisma than Keir Starmer.
Quite an achievement.

It's becoming increasingly apparent that complex civilization can only be sustained if bullies lose, and are seen to lose.

Eddie Marsan on TV and film industry's obsession with upper-class actors
YouTube video by Sky News Eddie Marsan on TV and film industry's obsession with upper-class actors

Just 8% of British working actors are from working class backgrounds in 2025. It was 20% in the 1990s.
Just a shocking, miserable statistic.
I have no objection to your Redmaynes and your Cumberbatches, but when they claim to have had no help I spit rivets.

For me, the most impressive/appalling mental contortion these insanely wealthy white dudes have managed is the construction of a narrative in which they are the plucky underdogs. How can that possibly stand up to the slightest scrutiny? It's astonishing.
