A cat on a keyboard, a duel in Rome, and the strange legend of Scarlatti’s “Cat’s Fugue". open.substack.com/pub/clueless...

A big ask.

The barrister whose £8m lawsuit against me was struck out yesterday is now whining that he's been treated unfairly.

This (from LinkedIn) is delusional. It demonstrates the absurdity of Kamal's libel claim, and the beyond-absurdity that it cost me £146k to defend.

‘The UK’s right wing is suddenly silent about supporting war in Iran’ | The News Agents Kemi Badenoch, Nigel Farage and even Tony Blair – has Keir Starmer proven his critics wrong in refusing to join America’s assault on Iran?

We could do with a little more kindness.

Please let it include John McDonnell and Richard Burgon. Can we throw in Barry Gardner as a starter for 10?

But he ain't denying them.

Indeed, it is!

You're a bloke, Alan. We never grow up.

Don't suppose you had to queue.

Credible investigative reports (eg Bloomberg) suggest a network connected to Mojtaba Khamenei holds significant London real estate.

Oh dear, Richard.

Plus a pint

They lost their deposit at the Gorton and Denton by-election, they lost the plot long before that.

But apart from these anomalies, we have taken back control.

There's nothing like an earful of Maurice.

This is officially nuts.

Have you joined the Labour Party?

Rachel Reeves claims the government has the right economic plan "because of the decisions we have already taken, we have a stronger and more secure economy."
As a Labour Party member and supporter, I’m curious about what this actually means.

And?

Good.
