So, how patriotic will your boy Kevin W be, @robarmstrong.bsky.social? My money (USD denominated, so win-win) is on imminent resignation ..

Alright, I'm on board

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

"Discussions and final points have been, in both concept and great detail, approved by all parties involved, including the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, and others." Isn't there another party whose approval seems quite important??

Suzanne Vega releases “Luka” 39 years ago this weekend. She said she once received a fan letter about it: “Dear Suzanne, Luka is the most compelling piece of music I’ve heard in a long time. There are no words 2 tell U all the things I feel when I hear it. I thank God 4 U, Prince”

Repost if you’d like me to represent the UK at #Eurovision 2027.

Where's Wessy?

'cmon @wesstreeting.bsky.social what's the hold up? Palantir is glowing... time to ride or naff off to cohabit with Gullis and Braverman ...

Kudos, @anitaanand.bsky.social

Voters have just today left to register to vote for the local elections taking place across England on 7 May. Anyone who wants to take part must register before 11.59pm tonight. Registering takes minutes at gov.uk/register-to-vote. Just need name, address & National Insurance number. Pass it on.

@bsky.app @support.bsky.team for the love of all that is holy, can you implement biometric login for your phone app? Every time you update the app or the protocol your users have to go searching for their password!

Poor Matt Goodwin. All he ever wanted was to be a hard working MP/academic/tv presenter/commentator/writer/pollster/wealth adviser/women’s health guru and you all ripped that away from him. A shame

Would be good if the Prime Minister and/or Home Secretary would for once come out and describe this as the unadulterated racism and xenophobia it so clearly is.

Only the bond market, ppl 😂

It’s also true that political journalists have monetised this sense of a perma crisis, for their own benefit and agenda.

While we should all be looking very hard at Starmer’s leadership, this week Nigel Farage decided that the people who vote for him would prefer to have cheaper beer at the expense of children being lifted out of poverty.

[watching curling] after 1 min: ugh this is dull 10 min: spin on that stone is off 30 mins: three in the house means nothing if your centre guard is ripe for a pick and roll 1 hour: SWEEP BITCH SWEEP

*smashes the buzzer so hard it shatters into a million pieces* WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU’D SAY IN BED

It has come to this: agreeing with the Torygraph now. FML! www.telegraph.co.uk/money/consum...

God it's so cool that so much of British and European nationalist politics has broadly been shaped by warehouse clickfarms rented by guys in South Asia running "how to make money from racist old people" workshops, and that this has had more influence on media and politics than any grassroots group

Not eating animals is a very robust rule of thumb when it comes to reducing your environmental footprint and the amount of suffering your diet may be producing.

Damn. Now I will have to listen, and probably disagree churlishly that Flateartha the Numidian, Ekonomikrisis the Phoenician, Orangeade and Lemonade etc were racist names, not just funny ...

Quis Cloudflariet ipsos Cloudflares?

“the findings could explain the fondness for moist, loamy soils Hitler described in his autobiography Mein Kampf” 👏👏

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC. The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

Turns out there is actually a zero cost way to minimise exposure to the shit-gibbons across the pond, and go about minding our own business ... Idk if this is common knowledge, @katie0martin.ft.com @robarmstrong.bsky.social @iankmsmith.ft.com

Surprised to find out that #TheGoldenRoad reached Colombia! FYI @willdalrymple.bsky.social

This country made significant progress against racism in my lifetime - but we did not do so by chance. There is a visible visceral regression in experiencing of overt racism because the toxic fringe with the most extreme views have a sense of permission & impunity www.easterneye.biz/racism-in-uk...

But the packaging of Tylenol says "acetaminophen" not paracetamol, because different people made different choices when abbreviating N-acetyl-para-aminophenol.

There is a reason... albeit a depressing one: they are making a pitch to billionaire daddies to come in (and make them millionaires) 😔

@anandmenon.bsky.social "the politics of it all make no sense", indeed. But the origins of it can be explained if we consider that Labour might be guided by Reform-sympathetic journeymen strategists motivated only by short-term polling ...

Bloody hell, @jemima.bsky.social ! I sometimes sneak off to Halwa Poori on weekend for a cheeky halwa-poori. Now I'm thinking how to explain to the owner the significance of Yarvin, and whether he will be happy or appalled to have served him ... (Kudos to you on picking out a hidden gem though)

the scenario we all feared

Mass starvation in Gaza and over 1,000 Palestinians killed while seeking aid since May. The government says the situation is intolerable yet they continue to tolerate it. The UK needs to stop all arms exports to the Israeli Government - today.
