Also, calling Russell Brand a comedian is like calling Tommy Robinson a journalist.

There is no evidence he is or ever was.

Literally nothing could ever make Breton happier than this. I wouldn't be surprised if he put them up to it.

The UK will celebrate net emigration and depopulation come 2027.

And by 2028 it will start to realise, with an ageing society and low growth, what a really silly thing it has done.

The right will go "pro-natalist", the centre-left will be completely stuck.

Trump is a brainless brute but Vance has clearly looked around and decided he can build power by performing the most repulsive caricature of white supremacy. He deserves profound suffering.

I don't argue this seriously because you do end up sounding like a nut, but it is interesting how even today you can see evidence of Norman domination of economic and social elites in England nearly a millennium after it happened

Think you can understand a lot about British politics from the ONS survey reporting that 56% of people said they voted in the last local elections, when turnout in those elections was about 36%.

Wanting to be PM purely for the fact of being PM out of belief that all the UK needs is better managers of the current system is how the Labour Party ended up with Keir Starmer
The problem with Streeting (aside from all the other problems with Streeting) is that he appears to want to be PM purely for the fact of being PM as a win & of in itself. It’s hard to detect any kind of sincere ideology, or even ideas really, other than whatever he thinks will get him there.

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

I read somewhere that the secret key to postwar British history is that in any incident, meeting, whatever, there’s a high chance that most participants are a bit tipsy and someone round the table is absolutely steaming drunk.
