It was the nerves.

Give us a break. About 90% of your posts are about Mandelson. There's a war in Iran. And Ukraine. People are dying in Gaza, Lebanon and the West Bank. There's a mad man in The White House threatening to wipe out a civilisation. You're the reason I've cancelled my Guardian subscription.

A win tonight more or less guarantees the play-offs, right? If we finish 3rd or 4th does that mean the second leg of the play off semi is at The Riverside?

Does a President have the power to decide who can take part in sporting events? Isn't it the sporting association that makes the rules and decides who's eligible or not?

I had the opportunity to confront Pete Hegseth's bigoted spiritual mentor, Pastor Doug Wilson, and call him out on his history of hate, his misreading of the Bible, his hijacking of Jesus, and his cosplay Crusading.

It was worth it.

At this point MAGA is just Stockholm Syndrome for people who don’t know where Stockholm is.

This is so good that I wish I had said it myself 👇🏼

Amidst the Mandelson brouhaha and kerfuffle a metric that really matters - real wages are rising.

Farage backed Mandelson’s appointment, called him a “very intelligent man”,“enormously talented bloke,” and even offered to work with him on a Trump trade deal. The moment it backfired, he changed his tune & said Starmer should resign. He is a charlatan.

This is it. Exactly it.

“It’s amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.”

- Harry Truman

As Trump proves often, the reverse of this is also true.

It’s amazing how much you can fuck things up when the only thing you care about is getting the credit.

Estimate the average IQ of a MAGA voter. And then contemplate that 50% of them are dumber than that.

Meanwhile outside of Westminster bubble:
"Starmer is doing the best job that anybody could do, particularly internationally."

I'm astonished that anybody would think that Farage or Badenoch would make a capable Prime Minister, to be honest.

I don't think the UK should change it's leader so often. Starmer won the last election. He should stay on till the next.

That's the spirit.

This would be an absolutely vile thing to do. We are so much better than this. Please don’t ever vote for Reform!

I know you have a lot on your plate right now @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social but this is desperately urgent. Please Please fix this before more lives are lost

A brief history of rentierism An interview with Brett Christophers, author of 'Rentier Capitalism: Who Owns the Economy, and Who Pays for It?'

In a nutshell. 😊

Possibly he'll blame the loss on the fact that he's not on the ballot. And try to use that as an argument for him to run for President again in 2028.

Farage thugs manhandle man with pacemaker after he objects to the Reform leader's chauffeur parking in disabled bay that he needs to use.

Lovely People.

He's right

Huh? How could Biden stop terrorist attacks that weren't being planned?

How can anybody even envisage trying to defend that post?

6 days after Trump made 13 celebratory posts in a hour claiming that Iran surrendered to all his demands and the war is over, he’s back threatening to blow up power plants and bridges.

Why is this even being discussed. The President of the USA threatened to obliterate an entire civilisation. How can anybody try to defend that?
