Have an idea for a new Star Trek series that takes place on the Federation’s first Pakled diplomatic ship. Entirely Pakled crew, with one Vulcan Federation advisor. They travel the galaxy looking for aliens they can rip-off while the Vulcan drinks himself to death in the bar.

The good news is that people really love the audiobook version of Notorious. The even better news is that as of today, it's an absolute flipping bargain! www.audible.co.uk/pd/Notorious...
An absolute masterpiece of myth-busting!
Bram : 29 May 2026


Otto English's Notorious is an eye-opening.
hilarious, and deeply researched reality check that
strips away centuries of PR and propaganda from
history's most famous figures. What makes the
audiobook format so spectacular is the perfect
marriage of English's razor-sharp, witty writing and
his flawless narration, his deadpan British delivery
and natural charisma make it feel less like a lecture
and more like a brilliant conversation at the pub. It
is a compelling, fast-paced masterclass in critical
thinking that will completely change how you view
historical icons. If you love history, great
storytelling, or just want an expertly narrated audio
experience that keeps you glued to your
headphones, download this immediately!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social No to a leadership challenge. The biggest problem Labour faces right now is not the messaging and attacks from Reform and right-wing media, it’s how they handle it. They must push back harder and communicate better.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Collectively, the media and its commentators hold Starmer to a much higher standard than Farage. So they are predisposed to heavily amplify every single one of Starmer’s indiscretions. Whereas Farage has form and this donation (sadly) holds reduced shock value.

So NOTORIOUS is out in paperback on May 7th. And though it's no best selling Matt Goodwin ... I hope you will avail yourself of a copy. Or even several copies. 1/2

Finding BBC and #r4today analysis of Trump’s insults of Starmer to be bizarre. Why are we even considering what Trump said? It’s meaningless. Genuinely. Not even Trump knows what he means. The story is - Starmer stood firm and acted in the national interest. Trump threw some toys out of his pram.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I’ve no doubt who prefers Trump’s very latest take on Starmer - the right-wing media. The likes of whom largely ignored Starmer’s recent successes with Trump. Plus Mordaunt demonstrates her CLEAR misunderstanding of the current situation with her sound bite this morning.

Labour concocts more ugly measures to punish asylum seekers and the right immediately demands worse… howling to leave the ECHR. This scapegoating of migrants must stop. It is failure - morally and practically. “Either we all have human rights or none of us do.” app.independent.co.uk/edition/uk.c...
The radical measures are part of a much-publicised reform of the asylum system, billed by the government as "the most sweeping reforms in modern times", as Labour looks to see off the threat of Reform UK and Nigel Farage.
But critics have hit out at the proposals, warning any move to alter how the UK interprets the rules will drive asylum seekers underground and leave them vulnerable to exploitation.
Sile Reynolds, the head of asylum advocacy at Freedom from Torture, said the changes "will punish people who've already lost everything".Ms Reynolds, of Freedom from Torture, added:
"Every day we see the trauma of people who have survived torture in countries like Syria, Eritrea and Sudan for standing up for the same freedoms we cherish in Britain. Instead of offering safety, political parties are locked in a race to the bottom - trying to outdo one another in cruelty towards refugees.
"These proposals will punish people who've already lost everything, cutting them off from safety and hope. But either we all have human rights, or none of us do. Stripping away protections that prevent people being sent back to their torturers is not who we are as a country.
This is a cynical attempt to scapegoat vulnerable people to win political points. We can and must do better."

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I have a sinking feeling this nonsense about paracetamol also feels adjacent to misogyny. In two strokes it accuses women of not ‘toughing out’ the pain of giving birth, and then places the blame solely on women if their child is autistic. Dreadful.

It’s bloody ridiculous. And a total abdication of the media’s responsibility to scrutinise and inform. Instead, they grab for headlines, sensationalise and give out free passes like smarties to a ‘party’ fronted by grifting liars, with a joke manifesto and a track record of taking the piss.
By any measure this was a good result for Keir Starmer's party. Yet that was not how it was reported.
"Labour's by-election win is no victory for Starmer" instead claimed the Times, in a
headline that appears to have redefined what the word "victory" actually means.
"Rather, once again it is Reform's political prospects that now look brighter."
So when Labour wins, it's actually a defeat, but when Reform loses it's actually a victory.
Heads Reform wins, tails Labour loses.
