I'm genuinely amazed that 'farts in public' is now an attack line.

I dunno I think the guy who gave an after dinner speech to the Traditional Britain Group shouldn't get too much credit for supporting the proposal "it was good that Hitler lost World War 2".

That divorce really went well huh Chris?

Yes, except for Polanski the map leads to "cult of personality that allows him to grift for life."

Yep - "Sorry bubba, but voting for a racist who spent the campaign screaming about all the racism he was going to do is, in fact, a racist thing to do and makes you racist."

Yes but also seems to repel people as much as he attracts, and is a bit too wedded to various bits of idiotic dogma to enact reform.

the idea that rufo has, at any point in his public career, been a sincere advocate for “colorblind meritocracy” is brain dead

The Telegraph is pretty profitable. It had to be flogged off because of other issues in the Barclays empire (that they used the Telegraph's money to paper over.)

this is why we don’t do “poor Melania” or write fanfic narratives where the wives of these men are victims. they wake up every day of their marriage and choose this

I think the problem is the people talking about Zionism are leftists who want a group they can bully and have settled on Jews

I see - trying to figure out why the AfD would want to be associated with Brandt

I'm guessing she's gotten credit for stopping what seemed like an inevitable bleed out and hostile takeover by Reform, but she's done that by being aggressively unpleasant and anti intellectual and telling the Tories their problem was they were too full of self doubt in government.

Counter: severe tax cliff edges, particularly in cases like this when the marginal rate spirals into infinity, are bad for everyone. They mutilate incentives and reduce overall wealth. They should be fixed and not avoided simply because they initially benefit wealthy people.

I think the lesson of Lula, and Sanders and Melenchon is that the left needs to stop romantically sticking to ageing leaders with varying degrees of crankery in their systems to see off the fascists

I really thought he'd at least try to pronounce Taoiseach.

Either that or a goblin. And given that this is all AI slop they've clearly made some choices with their prompts.

Why have they rendered John Healey as an anti Semitic caricature?

Why is there an anti Semitic caricature firing arrows at the tax payer at point blank range?

Yep - I like the idea of giving them false hope and also finding the 21st century equivalent of John Woods.

Actually you're not part of the same political coalition because your ideas and world view are stupid and wrong.

Back when this stuff was called "deepfakes" I used to worry about things like a computer generated fake of a Chinese general sending orders in the middle of a crisis in the Taiwan straits, which seems almost quaint now.

The only memoirs I'd be interested in reading from any of these people would be those composed after their guilt is confirmed at trial and they feel the need to unburden their consciences prior to the gallows.

I don't even think it's that - I think the NYT is a toe suck to power and shares the horror of accountability that is the main trait of the American elite.
