You have to understand that they do not and will not ever play ‘fair’. They will distort reality in whatever way suits them. Their side are martyrs and anyone else killed by their thugs is just collateral.

Shortage of NHS stroke specialists in England resulting in death or disability.
Between 10,000 and 20,000 patients died or sustained a serious disability because of treatment delays.
Lives destroyed by fiscal rules, austerity, appeasement of the rich and forcing people to go private.

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

THREAD. Every year, I tell the story of Ezell Gilbert. It's the story of one of the most remarkable cases in U.S. history, and you’ve probably never heard of it. The story of what the U.S. government did to him is vital for understanding the current moment we are in.

I'm asking John - and indeed all journalists - as a new year resolution to stop comparisons with a national economy and a household budget.
How many years have to go by until we can have coherent conversations in the media about the economy?

I think part of this is that all the pundits said, in their podcasts, which they put out in public where people could hear them, "these guys are just lying to get elected." But when *they* said it, it was smart and savvy politics by their mates, so they're confused it hasn't worked out well.
Can't do much better than this really. A more interesting question is why people find it surprising.

Glad the FT is asking the question. Even if I’m not convinced they found a compelling answer.

The court document below is NOT new. I reprinted it in my 2020 book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT when discussing Trump's history with Epstein. Others also covered it. It was publicly available. Garland of course knew too and protected Trump. And Dems protected and defended Garland. Why pretend otherwise?

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

The one serial winner who actually managed to win something with *us* (and also get to another semi final in the same season) and we binned him off because we wanted 'to compete on multiple fronts' so we hired a manager with no trophy history and no evidence that he can compete on multiple fronts

The main thing to conclude from this Labour strategy to compare the Greens to Reform is that they don’t understand the threat that Reform pose.

I don't actually think you need to be in any way supportive of the Tories to think, you know, if you can get the hacks to report "a cabinet minister said this" when it's the opposition team stirring shit, this is monumentally fucked about eight different ways.
So many nuggets here could be their own article with simple follow up questions such as “what do you mean?” and “and how did that work exactly?”
