Why are politicians on both sides obsessed by the word ‘psychodrama’?

Fun fact on this Wimbledon Men’s Final Day: The world’s oldest tennis court can be found at Falkland Palace in Scotland. It was built by King James V in 1539 and is still used to this day. (James features in The Dance of Vipers but there is no tennis, I’m afraid).

Woohoo. My second novel is out today. The Dance of Vipers is a thriller set in Scotland 1517, with a bunch of viperous traitors competing to seize the 5-year-old king. It’s a sequel to The Trail of Blood but can be read as a standalone. Anyway, will post the link in thread. X

Starmer and Lammy can fuck off with their pretence of frustration with Israel when they encouraged them to commit war crimes from day one and are actively assisting them now.

Yesterday David Lammy was unequivocal that Israel is breaking international law. Today No 10 contradicts that and says it is merely “at risk of breaching” the law. It is an extraordinary position to put the Foreign Secretary in - who will now have to say why he was wrong, or why No 10 is wrong.

At the heart of every attack on disability benefits is the myth disabled people “get perks”: a free car, loads of cash, a life off work. It misrepresents the reality of disability, whilst exploiting low wages and high living costs to make the public envy people in daily pain.

"The Gulf of America" is the new name for the chasm being created by Trump and Vance, between the US and every other country in the world (apart from Russia and Israel, obviously).

Due to the layoffs I am afraid that we have had to take over the running of the US National Parks. We are updating the park regulations but for now the most important thing people can do before visiting a national park is to marinade themselves for 12 hours in olive oil, lime juice & garlic.

Can’t wait for the return of White Lotus tonight. With so many news stories about Trump, Musk, Zuck, Putin etc it will be such a change to watch disgustingly rich people behaving horrendously at the expense of everyone else.

This caption is crazy but no crazier than the way the media is focusing on the practicalities of Trump’s plan for Palestine rather than the utter immorality and illegality of it.

Keir Starmer is fond of saying he’s not scared to make difficult decisions. So am looking forward to him opposing Trump’s ethnic cleansing of Palestine. That would show true strength (as opposed to scaring people with disabilities, for instance).
