I said “the more we elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate” but I want to communicate with other dead writers on this elaborate medium: Whom, like @levostregc.bsky.social or @shakespeare.lol , should I follow?
Is there a #starterpack perhaps?

Today's speech was easily the best Starmer has given.

For the first time since the election, he told a compelling - & optimistic - story about what the government is trying to do; charged that story with moral purpose; & drew clear battle lines with the Right.

A few quick thoughts & a challenge...

My brother Tom is gone out of town this day, to make a second journey to his mistress at Banbury, of which I have good expectations, and pray God to bless him therein.

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

I really don't think "barring journalists you find annoying from your conference" is a good look for any political party, and I wish the people running Labour would stop looking at Reform and going "Oooh THAT's a good idea".
Spoken like a Socialist crank! I love to hear it!
No more of Farage’s goose-steps towards fire and blood and anguish.
He sounds like a socialist crank! Excellent!

This should be impeachable. ‘War ravaged’ Portland? He’s insane - & insanely power hungry. The script is set - call an imaginary group a terror group and then send in the troops.
