Peter mandelsons entire career is like a cursed pharaohs amulet that kills everyone that tries to use its power and every other week some Labour party idiot picks up and goes have we tried using the pharaohs amulet

Oh this is covetable!
I genuinely can't stop thinking about the Iranian kids who spent yesterday wondering if they were all going to die and what that day will do to them for the rest of their lives.
My story in today's Telegraph about the suicide of a former Met officer awaiting trial in Pentonville
is anyone doing a long read on the Cadburys fall off situation, I know it’s about the sale to the US and the palm oil stuff but I wanna read more, are the Cadburys workers sad about it, is it actually affecting profits, it feels like a true symbol of the enshittification era
No wonder I couldn't resolve that dispute with Scottish Power 😭
It finally happened: I had an email from someone called Pippa Crawford who has received an influx of messages about my work and other problems, listing the handles she has been using many years. Pippa, if you're out there may I propose a duel?
Wrote here about Mr Nobody, last night's winner of the best doc Oscar
This is so pointlessly cruel.
I've been struggling with how to express my dismay at the war coverage by our top newsrooms, and how it dances around the central fact that Trump is deranged and unfit to command. I finally wrote something. Please read it. presswatchers.org/2026/03/the-...
So to summarise: You failed to take out the regime. You failed to destroy nuclear material. You failed to eradicate Iran's retaliatory capacity. You brought chaos to the Middle East. You killed god knows how many people. You destabilised your own economy. All for nothing, but the ego of madman.
there are like 50 people in the country who want the UK to get involved in the Iran War, one of them is Kemi Badenoch, one of them is Nigel Farage, and the other 48 are newspaper columnists
#OpEd The film, which is less about resistance than a chronicle of society during war, is a promising and worthy award contender, writes Pippa Crawford.
Thanks for reading!
If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.
This is alarmingly stupid. Because some students from violent autocratic countries may have reasons to apply for asylum, we block all students from these countries from studying in the UK.
Asif Aziz evictions story is going mainstream. Telegraph and Independent have covered in recent days. Now the FT has done a brilliant piece - including finding another property affected, where a Ukrainian refugee and their disabled son are being evicted by Aziz. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
Got through to the second round of interviews for the Ayatollah but they’re making candidates do a written task of matching a pitch deck and honestly they shouldn’t be asking us to do unpaid labour for a job interview
Today the Georgian anti-corruption agency will be abolished and absorbed into the State Audit Office.
The anti-corruption agency was introduced three years ago as part of the conditions to obtain EU candidacy. Clearly, Georgia has abandoned the very idea to become a member.

Trump has told four different journalists completely contradictory things about his aims.
It's going to be over in three days or four weeks... it's about regime change but he also wants to start talks again with the current regime...he's killed all the possible replacement leaders...
Total chaos.
As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.
Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.
As discussed in this post it's a perfect example of elite consensus across the political spectrum - which is now the most powerful way to shift the news agenda.

this is an absolutely astonishing feat of independent journalism, top to bottom, and proves that the only way to truly fight billionaires is not being funded by them. just…read the whole thing.
a year is a long time in politics
Really good piece, Shaun, especially liked the pillow-fight quote from Zaluzhnyi!
The front pages of the Daily Mail, Sun, Independent, Daily Star, Daily Record, Daily Mirror, Times, Daily Express and Daily Telegraph. All show the photo of the pedo Prince looking like he’s seen the devil himself - hiding in the back seat of his car as he’s driven away from the police station yesterday. A truly beautiful collage of consequence.
I can’t remember the last time a single photo dominated the front page of every major newspaper in the UK.
Phil Noble of Reuters, take a bow.
