Advice for anyone in political comms: do not, under any circumstances, tell your client to say “firm but fair,” “managed migration,” or “the best and brightest.” You’ll trip every bullshit detector in the country - and rightly so. Those phrases are dead currency. Everyone knows

One of the great things about X these days is that I never have to hear about Cas Mudde - easily one of the most overrated and intellectually dishonest figures in political commentary.

A Lewisham man who sexually assaulted 6 women in a 3 month period has been sentenced to just 16 months. He'll be out early next year, and there's no reason to expect his behaviour will be changed, so more women will soon be his victims.

The AC ban is an unbelievably bad policy: not just because people should be allowed it, not just but because the government incentives heat pumps (as long as they can’t be used as AC); but because people just buy less efficient freestanding units anyway.

Interesting point. But I think it’s important to clarify what’s meant by “the state” in this context. The Home Office *does* want to deport people. So does the Labour Party - at least nominally. (Though, to be clear, the number they’re willing to deport is nowhere near what

Genuinely hilarious stuff from HnH. Apparently, there’s a shadowy group called ‘the Basketweavers’ trying to engineer new counter-elites through a long march of our institutions. In reality? It’s just a bunch of people with a WhatsApp group, a Discord server, and the occasional
