The 'Starmer appointed Mandelson because he needed someone to manage Trump' - not true. What happened was:
1) From the general election there was a desire in Downing Street for a political appointee
2) There was no question that the US embassy had good Trumpworld links as it was

“We’re guilty as charged, let Mandelson infiltrate” feels appropriate today.
Listening to my new album and not touching myself
Psycho-Logical: Why Mental Health Goes Wrong – and How to Make Sense of It
amzn.eu/d/06pMJONX
Dean Burnett's book all about the underlying science of #MentalHealth issues and disorders. An absolute must-read for making sense of a confusing, but vitally important, matter

Temporary Squeaker Mike is so dumb it hurts.
Matt is one of my favourite people on this planet. He’s phenomenally hard working, on the right side of things and a brilliant representative for the people who elected him. He’s also kind beyond measure and a great friend. If you’re a Kursaal voter he truly deserves your support.
I'm Cllr Matt Dent.
I'm standing for re-election in #KursaalWard.
This is reason #3 why you should vote for me on 7 May: HMOs

Thank you! “**** (is a dirty word)” got me through a really rough patch a few years ago.
Really loving Simon Love’s new album.
omfg that's SO cunty I love it
And Neil Degrasse Tyson should be more careful when talking about the cosmos.
And Gloria Steinem should be more careful when talking about women’s rights.
And LeBron James should be more careful when talking about basketball.
Got it, Shady Vance! 👍
Sean Connery explaining the Chicago way.
"He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send him Matthew 5:9. That's the Chicago Pope way."
12 years ago on my PRIVATE FACEBOOK I made fun of Dapper Laughs, someone obviously told the man himself, he then posted about me for an entire weekend to his 300k fans and WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT they aaaaallllll came for Sooz in a VERY manosphere way. His own dad posted that I was too ugly to rape 😊
"Goddamn it, Leo! You haven't made an arrest in months! I've had enough. Put your staff and mitre on my desk and get the hell out of here."
Trump orders naval blockade of post-Orban Hungary, unaware it is landlocked.
The thing that still upsets me most about his social media posts is the fucked up capitalisation. I know it’s not the worst part but…
“Why can’t we just put the oil onto trucks and ride it across the desert rather than through the strait of Hormuz?” My love, let me direct you to a little documentary called Mad Max: Fury Road
We have never looked more feckless and ridiculous to the entire world.
Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽♂️
Boris Johnson says Trump back in White House is 'what the world needs' Ex-PM backs disgraced former US president ahead of election, saying he 'won't ditch the Ukrainians'
Never forget these arse kissing fools who cheered on the worst president in history.
This is what happens when 77 million people take leave of their senses and put a manifestly unqualified, unfit, mentally ill narcissistic man-child in charge of the country and the world's most powerful. military. This is what happens when the media 'bothsides' election coverage.
Louis CK is getting a new Netflix special. He is way less cancelled than Kathy Griffin.
Louis CK maintains the lie that "he always received consent". He didn't. The original article detailing the accounts of several accusers makes clear that in some cases he violated these women without consent.
Is this the “inflammatory language” petrol retailers assoc is talking about?
Rachel Reeves: “I will not tolerate any company exploiting the current situation to make excess profits at consumers’ expense. I’m backing drivers and families - and I expect a fair deal at the pump.”
Well I’m reassured.
Must-read thread from Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social
Igor Tudor's well-documented reputation as a fire-fighter upon his appointment as Spurs manager has really gone up in flames.
Mick Lynch: Farage didn't build a political career, he built a bonfire out of migrant families and called it leadership. #UKPolitics
He does look like he’s been on the Andy Goode fitness regime tho.
It felt like games did c late 2000s/early 2010s before that period where winning felt like an expectation. Really encouraging.
You'll never guess what this is in reply to. I think the AI singularity is still a good way off yet.
