Chris Mason and Sam Coates love the Westminster tittle tattle. Far easier and more enjoyable than, say, going to a new breakfast club at a Primary School in Middlesbrough and talking to parents. The last few days have demonstrated the depth of the piss poor BBC and Sky political coverage.

I like how the "whisper it quietly" formulation has become a code for "I know this isn't true but I need to fill this space".

Everything they do should be about what best sets up whichever fresh-faced MP becomes the leader in January 2029 to go 'I'm new! Inflation is down, interest rates are down, bin collections are weekly, GP appointments are up and the police catch criminals again!'

Making Graham Potter do a press conference on Friday to preview a game on Monday he was not going to take charge off because, in between, he was going to get the sack, is staggeringly shithouse behaviour by West Ham’s board.

The best three defences in the Premier League so far this season according to 'xG'....... Liverpool have scored against and beaten all three - scoring 8 goals in the process. Some start considering we haven't really played well in any of the games = promising #LFC #FPL #FPLCommunity #YNWA

I think yesterday's Bruno Fernandes performance was the absolute quintessential Bruno game that he will struggle to top all year. In the *same game* he somehow managed to prove right both those who hate him, and those who love him as an FPL asset.

It’s a comparatively small thing, but the total lie about Roshanara Ali evicting her tenants so she could raise the rent on her property is now an accepted fact. If you do not fight back immediately, aggressively and loudly against the liars, this is what happens. Labour has four more years of it.

This is a huge achievement for the Labour government in its first year. Number of children accessing funded early education & childcare has increased by 33% in a year, reaching 1.7 million, an increase likely related to government initiatives aimed at expanding access to early education & childcare

Tedious to point this out, but: - When a tongue-tied Biden said "President of Mexico" instead of "Prez of Egypt," it was a several day story. -Hours after Trump says whoever appointed J Powell made a big mistake (it was him), the episode appears not to merit a story on any national-media sites.

This chart i think is fascinating for where the Govt goes next. Looking just at Labour defectors - e.g. those who voted Labour in 2024 and now say they'd vote elsewhere. The plurality (40%) think they've been more right-wing than expected, 30% the same and 19% more left wing

What are the two biggest criticisms of politicians as a class you hear from the public? 1. You can’t trust them 2. They can’t/won’t do anything to help people like me Labour (unintentionally) provided evidence that both of those arguments were correct within less than a month of taking power.

Reform UK's Darren Grimes tells constituents he can't hold surgeries with them because he's been advised by the police not to do so for "security reasons". The only problem? Police spokesperson says this is entirely untrue and they gave no such advice bylinetimes.com/2025/07/03/r...

To offer my genuinely controversial opinion: Labour has pursued what could legitimately be described as an anti-business agenda that has stymied growth, but many of the individual elements are probably a good idea and fine. The net result has felt like stagnation.

1. Starmer was warned and warned that his benefits cuts were not just cruel and unfair, but a political disaster. He dismissed the warnings, even this week, as no more than "noises off". Now, as the disaster materialises, he's desperately backtracking. Here's an idea: how about listening? 🧵

I kinda admire the pluck of them U-Turning on means-testing an increasingly diminished payment, largely to people who don’t vote for you, and then immediately going “my next project involves people who really need it, and vote for me”.

It's impossible to look at these numbers and not assume that we have already lost World War 3. While we literally worry about whether the glint from panels will frighten horses, China is building a solar-fuelled industrial base capable of taking on the world.

What Britain looks like after Brexit

DANIEL HANNAN

JUN 21, 2016


It's 24 June, 2025, and Britain is marking its annual Independence Day celebration. As the fireworks stream through the summer sky, still not quite dark, we wonder why it took us so long to leave. The years that followed the 2016 referendum didn't just reinvigorate our economy, our democracy and our liberty. They improved relations with our neighbours.

You can call me an apologist for Starmer and his government if you like - or you can read my posts about them. But on Trump I think they are playing it absolutely right. Given the UK is a bit part player in all this that is a small consolation, of course. But consolation it is.

how Elon Musk fired a Twitter engineer for suggesting the public was losing interest in him (via the book Character Limit)
On Tuesday, February 7, Musk's anger would come to a head. He had called another meeting to deal with the subject of his engagement, calling the situation "ridiculous," as Davis backed him up by pulling up old tweets and comparing their stats with newer ones to sycophantically drill home the point. "Somebody tell me what's going on," Musk said, growing more and more upset.
While the employees in the room still didn't have a reason, they put forward Yang Tang, a machine-learning engineer with almost a decade of experience at the company. Tang, an expert on the artificial intelligence used to drive the social network's personalized feeds, had little experience in talking to Musk. Those who had survived the billionaire's blast radius knew never to speak out of turn or offer guesses. They also learned to create presentations that Musk could easily digest from his phone-as he rarely, if ever, used a computer. No one told Tang.
Standing up, the engineer began riffing with a presentation from his laptop. Instead of saying he didn't know the cause of the issue, he pointed to other trends. Likes on the platform were decreasing overall, he said, before Musk cut him off.
"I'm not talking about likes," he growled. "I'm talking about view
counts."
Jang pushed on, citing external factors. There were decreases in Google searches for Musk's name and he correlated that with internal engagement data. Perhaps the answer was simply that people were less interested in Twitter's new owner now that the deal had concluded. Maybe it had nothing to do with Twitter's algorithm.
Musk snapped. "You're fired! You're fired!" he bellowed at the engineer.
Tang closed his laptop and walked out of the room. Silence descended across the room, as the rest of his now former colleagues shifted their eyes away from Twitter's owner hoping they wouldn't be called on.

If you condemn Russia’s ‘preventive’ attacks on Ukrainian cities, including hospitals & journalists, but don’t condemn Israel’s ‘preventive’ attacks on Iranian cities, including hospitals & journalists, then you’re not actually opposed to Russia’s attacks. You’re just a partisan.

Agree with Kevin. I think there’s a big chunk of the UK right now- and certainly all of the bits which control institutions- that are in complete denial a) about our ageing population and b) what the policy implications of the political choices they made 2010 to 2024 and indeed since *are*.
