Sarah Pochin raised "concerns" in parliament about the impact of second homes on rural communities. Two days later she purchased an £800,000 second home on Anglesey. Remarkable stuff. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I know we are not supposed to speak ill of the dead but modern times are very trying in that respect. And there are a few more people whose impending demise I will not mention at all.

A very short man. I stood next to him and had a conversation once at a university charity event he’d been asked to MC for. He was a bit creepy tbh.

That’s how key Conservatives describe any situation where they are caught doing wrong- “a spot of bother”. Nothing is ever their fault. If they can’t find someone lower down the organisation to take the rap, they’ll change the law to suit them. It baffles me that ppl think they are on their side.

Then that would be a military coup, and also not ideal. I hope they have a plan to retrieve the sacked generals back from retirement as soon as is possible and to get rid of the ones placed by Hegseth.

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right.

“Getting”. 👀 The problem with shock jockeys is they have to keep doubling down to produce the same effect. The problem for the country is that by the time the extremists are overcome, they will have so cheapened and coarsened political debate that it will take years to recover. Laughter essential.

Dr. Bandy Lee offers on Trump’s interactions with Xi Jinping: He will continue to be played by these leaders. He is extremely manipulable. The flip side of individuals with mental impairments like his is he would be easily manipulated and exploited and abused by those who he sees as his superior.

It’s what sustained him throughout his political career. That and a Tory-ability to cast blame onto people lower down the chain than him, and unshakeable self-belief. That’s how a school turns a mediocre boy into a successful mediocre man. Those are all the skills it takes.

It’s “alleged” until the evidence has been interrogated in a court of law and a verdict pronounced on it. Very important to avoid trial by media which could invalidate the legal process underway- especially if he goes to a jury trial.

Even better, this Labour government with its existing authoritarian tendencies could crack down on the utter freedom of US-based social media companies to transmit any propaganda they see fit. And also introduce in great urgency critical thinking lessons in schools from early years up.

Most of that sum will be staff for his offices. It takes 4-5 people to run the offices for an MP. I’m evidently not a fan of Anderson but we should definitely not be using his employment of staff and expenses for running am office against him. Look at what he *doing* for the people of Sutton.
