Because our politics is in such a terrible place, I think we downplay quite how awful Kemi Badenoch has been.
In any other era the leader of the Conservatives saying 'only migrants commit sex crimes - mass deportations now' would have not just been career ending but would've sunk the whole party

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

What's this? Scotland, Brazil, England and Croatia in the same World Cup group?
Oh, no, that was too good to be true. That show was so bad even the Oxford comma left early

I had a fantastic evening yesterday, watching the magnificent #Wheatus, at #TheBrudenellSocialClub in Leeds. They're a great live band; you should definitely check them out. Roll on next time! #TeenageDirtbag #LiveMusic

And so it starts: #LiveAtLeedsInTheCity 2025. 12 hours of cracking artists playing in venues all over Leeds. I'm starting with Nxdia fairly soon.

Musician Sam Fender has donated his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to the Music Venues Trust, to support its work securing the future of grassroots venues around the UK.
Fender: “I wouldn’t be doing what I am today if it wasn’t for all the gigs I played [at small venues] when I was starting out."

Whenever someone in power blames immigrants on the difficulties facing working people, working class communities and those struggling to make ends meet in disadvantaged areas, remember two words: 'managed decline'.

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

Even more reason to keep this institution from succumbing to a decade's long attack from the right wing whose strategy is to create an environment where the rest of us hate it enough to accept its demise - the exact same playbook used against the NHS
Ruin it when in power and attack relentlessly

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

Never thought about it Pip Torrens is an absolutely brilliant shout. He’s perfect for Rear Admiral, merchant banker, civil servant, cabinet minister or Imperial officer in Star Wars. The classic British establishment roles.

TL:DR - we’re acutely vulnerable to fascism thanks to decades of destruction and privatisation of state capacity and horrific all-media hate campaigns against liberalism, multiculturalism and anti-racism. If you want us to develop antibodies, we need to *fire the motherfuckers responsible for that*.
The reason this Nazi crank keeps arsing on about Britain specifically is that he has noticed that here, he is pushing at an open door. We should think about why that might be so.

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain.
Nobody with any sense or decency should be there.
No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there.

I cannot, for the life of me, understand why the Government - or, indeed, any MP keeps its official account on Musk’s X
Or, indeed, any patriotic person.

Nothing more British than telling fascists, racists & rotters to fuck right off
