Address Unknown: the great, forgotten anti-Nazi book everyone must read
First published in 1938, US author Kathrine Kressmann Taylor’s forgotten classic is a devastating work of political fiction that still resonates today

It's strange how the Greens have ballsed up their supposed breakthrough so thoroughly. Not only is it idiotic, it's bad politics. Particularly as Corbyn provided them with a map of where this all leads.

I love the fact that the Prime Minister reads literature - and has great taste.

If GB News were a normal commercial venture, like Talk TV, it would have been binned long ago. Since September 2020, it has spewed out hateful far-right propaganda, paying high salaries to people such as Nigel Farage. Ofcom has abjectly failed to address this threat to democracy.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Joyful evening in the company of Madness and Stiff’s Dave Robinson at the BFI for a screening of Take It Or Leave It. Not only are Madness a brilliantly original band but they are *hilarious*. Don’t miss the film - it’s a genuine lost gem.

“I want to speak directly to our care workers, you are not invisible to me”. The most powerful line in Burnham’s speech so far, especially because of the emotion with which it was delivered.

Andy Burnham: "We will not give Britain the clear path we need into the rest of this century until we decide on a long-term relationship with what is still our largest market. I cannot say to you truthfully that where we are is good enough. Brexit has done more harm than good."

I still find it hard to process that Andy Burnham is our PM. He sort of just appeared and walked into 10 Downing St. But that conference speech was outstanding. Authentic, principled, focused, passionate and deeply moving. These are the qualities required to fight Farage's populist insurgency.

The Burnham speech: firstly, it was a vision. We've not had a national vision for two decades at least. If he can persuade the country on fixing the EU relationship, political reform, establishing a new care system and his theory of growth holds then he will be a transformational Prime Minister.

If the key question that determines who people vote for is “Will this person fight to make my life and my country better?” then Burnham today has answered that question several times over.

The BBC news summary this morning went seamlessly from "critics warn PM scrapping triple lock would be electoral suicide" to "critics ask if PM has nerve to make tough decisions" and I don't think it's a particularly pro Burnham stance to suggest he might not be the entire problem here.
