Well, I just downloaded Twitter again.

Obama statement notably not endorsing Harris - hedging his bets until she officially declares or…?

Modern Turing test

It is absolutely ridiculous to throw out the slur that Labour want to keep children in poverty simply because they didn't lift the 2-child benefit cap within their first 18 days in office after 5,174 days in opposition. One does not imply the other - that's a lazy, lazy

Public service notice (given lots of confused coverage this morning): you’re not “cutting public spending” if you’re not changing any budgets but instead revealing that the previous government announced transport schemes without the budgets to make them happen

Auto enroll them then. Some people being too uninformed or too proud to claim something they’re entitled to is not a good enough reason to keep throwing cash at folks who sit in large houses with paid off mortgages and receive defined benefits pensions.

Jim Geraghty Hillbilly Eulogy?

Anybody who doesn't know the dynamics, history and supposed pretexts of murderous pogroms, in the UK and elsewhere, should be informing themselves, sharpish. Call this what it is.

Don't love this phrase 'anti-immigration protestors' used on the BBC just now. They're not really anti-immigration. It's not like they're targeting Canadians. They're racists. And these are not protests. They're attempted pogroms.

Can confirm, this German immigrant has never been pulled from a car or had bricks thrown at me.

For the German speakers (or users of the ChatGPT translate prompt), this is a very well researched, well reasoned and non-ideological deep dive into the quagmire of defining gendered categories in competitive sports, what is and isn't fair, and to whom.

So I had a dream last night that I was teaching a GCSE class on Shakespeare (Romeo & Juliet, to be precise), and I wrote "Verona's brat summer" on the blackboard. With chalk. (I'm not a teacher.)

I do think we should get more credit for hosting France’s annual riots while they have the Olympics. Proper Entente cordiale

vielleicht sollte die Ampel einfach ein Rechtsradikalismusbeschleunigungsgesetz beschließen, um die Faschos effizienter kleinzukriegen. #compactverbot

NEVER FORGET Russia OPENLY funded the Telegraph to print positive news stories their monthly payment, DRUM ROLL was paid DIRECT TO BORIS JOHNSON & that money bought him blaming EU for Russia's invasion earthactiongloballeague.com/2024/02/12/the… bylinetimes.com/2022/02/23/has… independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

New made-up Starmer scandal even more preposterous than those which came before it. His son stayed in someone's house. That's it. That's the story. It's because we have strict systems, and Starmer sticks to them, that we know about it.

I’m not saying she sent Boris the interview briefing notes as a favour, then he forwarded her email to somebody else (“Read this for me”) & copied her in because he’s a moron, so she knew there was evidence of her original email & had to cancel it before the story got out. No.
