Chris Ramos of Cádiz missing one of the great open goals

A recurring problem with “liberals” is they are very bad liberals.

They’re bad defenders of supposed liberal principles and values.

The same applies to self-described “social democrats”. They’re generally extremely bad social democrats.

A work of art. With something by Kandinsky.

People are going to complain about this, but I dunno, if you really want to satirise professional class Britain you might as well do it as crudely as this

Say what you like about 1970s trade unions. But nobody in a full-time job needed food banks then.

Did you know there's a group in Parliament specifically for preventing genocides?

Did you know the chair is a Labour Friends of Israel member?

Did you know its officers attend receptions by arms companies?

There's more. My latest for Declassified UK

Client journalists in order of precedence.

If your top priority re Gaza, right now, is insisting that the expressions 'genocide', 'intifada', and 'from the river to the sea' mean something other than what both Jewish and non-Jewish protestors using them say they mean by them, then your moral compass is completely broken.

This is particularly fun because *the interviewer* is a Labour member who was suspended for racist remarks then readmitted in a flagrantly bent manner, and this appears to not strike anyone as farcical or worryingly corrupt.

I don't expect compassion from these people but the casual depravity of this is stunning. 20,000+ dead children, 'bleeding heart nonsense'. All that suffering and death, and it doesn't weigh on their consciences one iota x.com/shippersunboun…

Very funny that one rogue state has quite possibly managed to take out the UN, the ICC and the Eurovision fucking Song Contest

'National representatives tend to be of the nationality they are representing' is one of these points that seem to be exceptionally difficult for extremely smart people to get their heads around

Do one for what political pundits said at least 50 times about all of them: 'impressive' for all bar Truss for whom there may be corelation with actual people, and Johnson which would say 'huge I imagine, huge and potent. force of nature'

Today feels like a good day to share, in full, Jeremy Corbyn's 'refugees are welcome' speech from 12 Sept 2015, 3.5 hours after being elected Labour leader.

'I am shocked beyond appalled at the way so much of our media endlessly describe desperate people as the problem.'

Happy #EuropeDay and a reminder that EU @EU #EU Tweeting for Charity! border policy kills far more people trying to cross European borders in a year {at least 823 in 2023} than the Berlin Wall did in its entire 28 year history {approx 140}.

Incredibly far-right stuff from the Labour leader, who opposes the Rwanda scheme because it doesn't remove enough people and making jokes about asylum seekers living in expensive accommodation 'because like Hotel California...there's no prospect of ever leaving'

Wonderful!
