We need a leftist Andrew Tate. We need a leftist Fox News. We need a casino where you don't gamble and they give you free money. I refuse to understand the ecosystem I'm in the center of and I will not leave or modify my behavior. We need leftist McNuggets

One of my favorite cases of someone being Wrong on the Internet was a very earnest, very confused vegan who was telling people how cruel honey is; and it eventually turned out they thought honey was made by putting bees in a centrifuge and spinning them around until they threw up.

If you try to comply in private with Trump while disagreeing in public—even only mildly—you are telling him that you need to play politics a certain way for your own reasons. A politician would understand. Trump is not a politician. You do not matter to him, your needs are not his concern.

I'm gonna guess that "embracing the mediterranean life" here does not extend to the government doing anything to adapt the country to this changed climate.
Allister Heath: Britain can't stop climate change. Scrap net zero and embrace Mediterranean life.

Also, this can't be stressed enough: the Treasury doesn't have a bank account like people and businesses do, with income and outgoings. When the government spends money it creates it. That's not consequence free, but saying the government's finances are like a household budget was a lie.

"Briefing against" only exists be because journalists are on the team. Powerful people should not be given license to trash less powerful people without putting their name to it but that is 90% of british political journalism
Sienna rodgers:
Labour MP Karl Turner just told @TimesRadio effectively that Angela Rayner called the shots yesterday and that PM needs to sack Morgan McSweeney or be ‘up against it’ himself

He says Labour MPs feel if they disagree with a policy they get briefed against & emphases he’s never met McSweeney

I always think this stands out in conversations with lots of backbenchers – many have a feeling that this powerful figure is totally unknown to them personally and therefore that lobby journalists (who do know him) are closer to the centre of power than they are

It's like the person I heard of who found that posting a question on StackOverflow and then immediately answering it incorrectly using a sock puppet account was an infallible strategy for baiting nerds into supplying the correct answer who otherwise wouldn't have bothered.

It's the hypocrisy that bugs me. By all means go with "might is right"; cynical realpolitik has its place. But don't then lecture us on law & morality. You can't ride two horses with one arse.
