I generally rate Chris Mason but it would make things easier for all if Robbie Gibb - Brexiter & Theresa May’s director of comms at Number 10 - were not still a non-executive director of the BBC. Everything he touches turns to shit. Including, at the moment, a lot of the Beeb’s political journalism.

I’m not sure it reflects all that well on Mason that the most aggressive interview he’s managed with a politician in quite some time is in defence of his own journalism. It’s also a fairly extraordinary attack to make in response to a fairly mild critique. Not sure his judgment on the money here.

From a poetry collection by Mary Oliver, where after a hundred poems showcasing gentle observations on nature and animals, she hits you with this
OF THE EMPIRE
We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

Course he does. I often wonder how much of this clown's wannabe media mogul motivation comes from his son (Winston Aubrey Aladar deBalkan Marshall) being binned/resigning from - I kid you not, Mumford & Sons* - after he bigged up a fascist-adjacent fucknugget. *I think he played the banjo.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

No schadenfreude or satisfaction in seeing ‘prominent’ Trump cheerleaders in the UK finally see the light & change their tune (Andrew Neil is just the latest). Just a low simmer at their toxic blend of arrogance, cupidity & ignorance & the knowledge that the media will still promote their ilk.

The last *seven days*? What *we* have *always feared*? What an irredeemable fraud he is. Gets a whole chapter in ‘How They Broke Britain’. And here he is now, ‘seeing the light’. Danny Dyer voiceover: “Twat.”
Andrew Neil’s latest column of shitspangle. This time ‘explaining’ that Donald Trump’s depravity has only become clear in the last week.

Another mad element of that press conference is that Trump & Vance were ordering Zelensky to thank them personally for aid that Joe Biden had provided. All while insulting Biden & ignoring Zelensky’s frequent previous expressions of gratitude.

Today on my LBC Sunday show I interviewed a former Trump adviser. She claimed that Putin wasn’t morally responsible for the war. I challenged her on that claim. She told me she didn’t like me and hung up. And they say the left are snowflakes. Watch the full interview here. youtu.be/tSsV7xyDyfY?...

If you're looking for a place to do some work, the public library is like a coffeeshop where you don't need to buy anything and there's a lot more space and you can stay as long as you like and you don't get any coffee.

I cannot imagine a world without Sesame Street. Grover. Bert. Ernie. Big Bird. Oscar. Snuffleupagus. Cookie Monster. The Count. Harry. Telly. I think for many of us these are characters who exist somewhere between fantasy and reality, as they were there for us daily as we formed our sense of self.

The real spirit of Christmas is about celebrating and enjoying the company of family and friends. Appreciate the people you’re with. If you’ve any petty grievances, grudges or old scores to settle, now is the ideal time to bring them up, because they might not be here next year.
