Is it safe to come off Citalopram (20mg) if you’ve been on it for only a week? I’ve not slept at all since Saturday night and have felt like crap all week and I just don’t think it’s worth it. Had enough tbh.

Just so: the plan is to lock the cabin doors to keep the passengers out, fly the plane into the ground and then walk out of the wreckage untouched to fancy jobs at Facebook and PWC. And if you don’t like it, fuck you.

I’ve got a piece in the North Wales Open at the newly reopened Theatr Clwyd in Mold. It’s my painting of Theatr Ardudwy in Harlech (possibly my favourite building in Wales). It’s on until the end of January.

They were working together. In fact I know that for sure since Nukehurst started replying to me in on Twitter and ccing McSweeney many years ago.
I'm sure the pundits are going to try and spin a narrative that it's an out-of-control McSweeney - an outlier in the Labour machinery - that's driven Labour so far to the right, and that without him it would have been and will be sunshine and rainbows, to which I say:

The fact that More In Common edited Jo Cox’s very specific quote about migrant communities to a bland milquetoast idea about being nicer to each other remains extremely grim

For all his authentocrat wittering about the working class, Glasman is just an old-fashioned snob who doesn't want the cap-touching poors getting degrees but instead going to the new-fangled polytechnic, sir.
it's fascinating to think what Blue Labour's ideal Britain looks like

Congratulations to Labour who have won the coveted Tommy Robinson endorsement. Excited for sensibles to explain to me why I have to vote for the people enacting actual fascist policy.

It is telling how many far right talking heads are celebrating Labour's anti-asylum policies. This is where we are at though. For all the "political grey areas" there may be, when it comes to human rights, not just for migrants, Labour has sided firmly with the far right.

When Tommy Robinson is celebrating your policies it is time to take a long hard look in the mirror and then quit politics forever.
Not everyone is unhappy about the Government's descent into anti-refugee politics

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable.

A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.

If the UK is on the brink of civil war, as Musk claims, it follows that in 300 years time there will be be a new generation of civil war re-enactment societies.
