All political careers end in failure. One day you're MP for a Somerset constituency with a 20k majority, the next you're doing a live report on GB News about an AI generated tapestry #CPC26
Jacob Rees-Mogg, former politician and GB news presenter gives a running commentary as he tours the Birmingham tapestry on day two of the Conservative Party Conference at the International Convention Centre on October 05, 2026 in Birmingham, England.

Not that W2A is perceived as an unequivocally "warm and sunny" album (even if it will unquestionably be a... hot summer), but boy, does this project put me in mind of the general optimism and sense of possibility of the early 2010s Also still my pick of the four "standalone" posthumous Prince LPs

Todd Blanche now says "one-sided news" is a national security threat worth barring the press over. That's not a legal standard. It's a viewpoint test. I didn’t go to law school…and didn’t need to, to know that the First Amendment exists to STOP government from judging which coverage is balanced.

The Times - which has v much joined in the rightwing clamour to reduce immigration - now reporting that Mahmood’s “success” has cost the economy £4- to £7Bn. Would they like to now honestly confirm that fewer people = less spending power for all. There’s a high price to pay for this nasty obsession.
Patrick Maguire
Chief Political Commentator Oliver Wright Policy Editor

Falling migration numbers could cost the chancellor as much as £7bn in fiscal headroom as he writes his first budget, The Times has been told.
Government insiders believe that John Healey, who already faced an uphill battle to balance the books next month, is likely to have an even bigger challenge after immigration undershot projections from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).
The Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank estimated last month that the success of Shabana
Mahmood's
reforms, which have cut net migration to the low hundreds of thousands, could cost Healey some £4bn.

The presence of that teasing live track underscores what a waste it was to not accompany this release with Piano and a Microphone 2016 for the anniversary year. Yeah, two album releases at once. His Royal Badness had a penchant for doing that, so why not honour it with the posthumous projects too…
