Easy to forget that the reset (now in its third year!) is both a British govt idea, and entirely optional.

He didn't do the stutter "Just for fun." He did it because he was making fun of his younger brother who actually had a stutter. It originally wasn't even intended to be released to the public.

The EU has delivered greater stability across the continent, greater mobility for its citizens, and a single market that gives Europe global economic weight. An honour to hear President von der Leyen address the European Parliament today as we build a deeper partnership for the future.

I feel this increasingly strongly. If the Labour party want to damn themselves by going "oooh, but the electoral calculation-" before having the balls to speak out against racism, that's up to them, but I think we should be saying this shit is wrong *even if it doesn't change a single damn thing*

London's homicide rate hit its lowest level since records began. Yet 40% of the public thought that murders had risen since 2019. That’s the danger of disinformation. We cannot accept it, and to defeat it, we’ve got to put pressure on the social media companies who profit from it.

I want the Prime Minister to look into a TV camera and say the RNLI are heroes, that we do not change policy by street violence in this country, and that he expects any criminal action to face the full force of the law. That's it. That's all he has to do.

Ein Mann in brauner Uniform und mit blauer Armbinde grüßt und lüftet dabei seine blaue Schildmütze. Er hat eine Flinte dabei und spricht di überrascht wirkende Frau.

I think functionally all of the post-resignation coverage that was about him rather than Cambridge was excessive (e.g. this poisonous review of a book nobody is going to buy - why)

thetimes.com

Jason Arday’s memoir is mawkish, self-aggrandising and hard to believe

The embattled former Cambridge professor’s autobiography, Great and Unfortunate Things, feels precision-tooled to flatter the biases of the sappiest white liberals
