Definitely this. While all this goes on, ministers and their teams cannot get on with governing the country properly. The media thrive on salacious headlines and drama. It’s like they want us to be perpetually governed in turmoil. 🙄
Who do you think is the right person for now?

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.
Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

I’ve been in several negotiations with Iranians. They are tough as nails. Even agreeing when to take a break, or the seating plan, is a battle. They fight everything until you reach a point where it seems a success that the meeting happened at all. That’s what they do. US is totally outmatched.
“Iran showed up in Pakistan this weekend with a team of 30 people, many …with Ph.D.s & diplomacy experience. America’s delegation was five real-estate developers and venture-capital dudes who were shocked when the Iranians didn’t succumb to their Glengarry Glen Ross high-pressure sales pitch.”

Orban is not conceding because he's honourable. He's conceding because his defeat is so comprehensive even he can't pretend he won.
It's almost as if they are speaking to each other behind the scenes rather than Tweeting.

We’re bringing youth clubs back.

a)
The Strait of Hormuz is closed. It was open before the war began.
b)

There's a whole array of strategic bungles in this operation, it deserves a thread. 1/ below
My response to Melvin Benn would be (1) nobody thinks you booked Kanye West for three nights because you believe so much in forgiveness and (2) it’s not just the Jewish community that’s offended by celebrating the Nazis. He has a history of promoting anti-Black racism as well
He sounds like a guy describing a rabid raccoon he just found in his garage.
Artemis II launches today so I've mapped out the detailed flight path for those interested
We’ve just seen Israel pass a law so racist that even Apartheid South Africa didn’t have an equivalent. What we haven’t seen is any so-called friends of Israel condemn it. Truly shameful.
1.0 out of 5 stars Suicide of a Nation: A Complete Waste of Paper Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 March 2026 Format: Kindle Edition Let’s be clear about what this book is. It is not analysis. It is not scholarship. It is not even a coherent argument. It is anxiety dressed up in a suit and pretending to be serious. The logic collapses on page one and never recovers. Goodwin builds his entire case on the oldest and laziest trick in bad writing. Take a complicated thing, strip out everything that makes it complicated, and then act shocked at how simple it turns out to be. A first year student would get this handed back with red pen all over it. The evidence is a joke. Sources are cherry picked with surgical precision to exclude anything that disagrees. Entire fields of research including sociology, economics, history are casually ignored because they had the nerve to reach different conclusions. This is not how thinking works. This is how a man who has already made up his mind pretends he hasn’t. The writing is aggressively mediocre. There is not a single sentence in this book that will stay with you. Not one image, not one idea, not one moment of genuine insight. Goodwin writes like a man terrified that clarity might expose him. The prose is bloated, the chapters are repetitive, and the conclusion says nothing that the introduction didn’t already say badly. But the greatest failure of this book is its profound lack of curiosity. It looks at a complex, messy, beautiful world full of difficult questions and sees only something to fear. That is not the mark of a thinker. That is the mark of someone who stopped thinking and decided to start selling instead. Suicide of a Nation is not dangerous because it is radical. It is dangerous because it is lazy. And laziness, dressed up as common sense, is how bad ideas spread. A embarrassment from start to finish.
This Amazon user review of MattGPT's book is 👌🏽
"The writing is aggressively mediocre. There is not a single sentence in this book that will stay with you. Not one image, not one idea, not one moment of genuine insight. Goodwin writes like a man terrified that clarity might expose him."
This is absolutely spot on from Emily Thornberry 👏

Two votes in support of your missus. Though, we’d happily see Bob Mortimer in anything, tbh.
It is absolutely stupid that a major focus of policy response to the Iran War is on the planned 1p rise in fuel duty in September (watching Trevor Phillips interview Bridget Phillipson). Of no help now to anyone to abandon it. Shows how trivial our political debate has become.
Well, after last night’s GBNews debate I no longer need to explain to students the risks of using AI to write papers since Matt G has done us all a favour by having a fever dream meltdown trying to justify it.
And to think we thought his contributions to academia were over.
