"My Grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israel to murder Palestinian Grandmothers in Gaza."
Margo Martin @MargoMartin47 X.com Congratulations, Georgia Women's Tennis! The photo shows Trump and five white dudes in red ties standing in front of and completely blocking 10 young women
Priceless post from the official White House social media
Would be easy. You don't.
Apologies from the Guardian hierarchy to @suzannemoore.bsky.social and Hadley Freeman are presumably on their way.
And how is little @owenjones.bsky.social taking this? Badly one hopes.
Women: we want our own sports categories
TRAs: there’s only a tiny number of men in there, it doesn’t matter
Women: why should the fairness of women’s sport be undermined for a tiny number of men?
TRAs: the men will get very sad if they can’t have the thing that doesn’t matter
Ah, did wonder if you meant something along those lines, but would view it more as cowardice than boldness.
Bold with Trump? Grovelling obsequiousness is not typically characterised this way.
Mine would be Bridget Phillipson.

Were Starmer and Boris Johnson separated at birth?

Yeah this is a real thing happening in the actual world. They are going to rename the Donbas "Donnyland" so an orange toddler-brain demented psychopath feels less pro-Russia.
I have a history degree. Genuinely I don't know of any precedent for this much stupidity.

We’re in the truly weird position where McSweeney had to go for giving the PM the advice to appoint Mandelson and Robbins had to go for not stopping him.
No doubt, but that's why the speciousness of the former is worth calling out.
Maybe this one will convince you 🤔
Didn't mean it that way...it's very good though

Howdy, I'm the Sheriff of Chartcrimes round these parts and I'm here to lock you up.
First time I've seen Mandelson compared to a bucket of shit, but hopefully not the last.
@willdunn.bsky.social clearly not enjoying himself at all here...
If he means Chinese exporters to the US, he's right. However the main points here are that this is 1. his own fault 2. objectively very funny.
Great article, well worth your time
The idea that you need to send corrupt sociopaths as Ambassadors to DC is so funny, because it's a standard we have never applied anywhere.
We don't appoint corrupt gangsters to embassies in Moscow or religious fanatics to Tehran.
Also, Mamdani is able to handle Trump fine without becoming him.
Like 98% of Americans...
Worried all this Peter Mandelson business is going to distract from whatever the hell Keir Starmer's policy agenda is, and could undermine confidence in him with his supporter.
Do you know what % of generation (% of TWh annually) is typically set by gas price, either because it *is* gas or because it's not on a CfD or other fixed price mechanism?
Oh, just announced! Good.
Could / should it be (even) higher? Cf the level of intervention in Spain / Portugal.

Oh, I'd missed that, thanks.
When was that announced and is it still at £75/MWh?
Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
Given the state of our finances don't know why they don't increase the Energy Generator Levy irrespectively.
Ukraine is defending Europe against Russia’s imperialist aggression. Imagine how close Russia would be if it controlled all of Ukraine?
So the question that every responsible 🇪🇺leader should ask the Ukrainian president is:
"How can I be of assistance?" NOTHING ELSE!
#NoDrushba
It's going to be even worse the next time they appoint Peter Mandelson
as @marietjeschaake.bsky.social has been arguing for a long time, the European answer can only be a European techno-infrastructure. However, that must be publicly owned and democratically accountable! Europe cannot simply build its own technofascist counterforce!
