This is a feeble excuse. Pixar films prompt much harder conversations about death, grief, anxiety, environmental disaster, betrayal, jealousy, friendships, class, animal rights, etc, etc
I don't think this is a long term conflict. Trump doesn't have the attention span nor the resilience to withstand public disapproval or economic pain. What concerns me is that events spiral out of control as a result of Iranian retaliation.
The gulf between what people think of Tony Blair commenting on war in the Middle East & what Tony Blair thinks people think of Tony Blair commenting on war in the Middle East is positively Badenochian.

While we're hooked on oil & gas we're vulnerable to price shocks caused by a rogue US president.
It doesn't have to be like this.
Invest in renewables, insulate our homes, cut the cost of living.
We worked with Wendy’s to create a new flexible typeface that blends clarity with character – from square-patty-inspired forms to a ‘Frosty’ variant with creamy curves and swash details, capturing the brand’s unique voice. See more at www.daltonmaag.com/portfolio/fo...
I've never observed a wider gap between self-confidence and lack of any actual understanding than in Badenoch. On other topics it can be comical, but when it extends to undermining gov't on matters of national security, in breach of established conventions, it is profoundly dangerous. #PMQs
bear with me here: Gonzo's House of Games
if you think the greatest threat to effeminate gay boys is the trans movement and not the cis straight men who overwhelmingly exclude and brutalize them then you should walk into the ocean immediately
Donald Trump has correctly identified that this is not Keir Starmer.
The sun will soon power Tube journeys ☀️
TfL has selected SSE Energy Solutions to connect the network to solar power, bringing us closer to our goal of operating on 100% renewable electricity by 2030.
This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something
Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

Labours attitudes towards water companies is one of the starkest examples of how they'll do anything to protect the status quo.
The case for water nationalisation is so bloody obvious to everyone - yet they'll do anything they can to keep the failed privatisation experiment.
The government's immigration proposals are an obscenity: They needlessly punish refugees, make integration basically impossible, and introduce a sliding system of administrative abuse depending on how wealthy you are iandunt.substack.com/p/can-we-ext...
Who needs ITV2 when you've got Channel 4.
I have seen a surprising number of ‘progressives’ defending Labour and describing the Greens as ‘cranks’, seemingly unaware of the utterly batshit stuff that Labour has said and done in the past 20 months.
why not report the policies that Shaun the Sheep would implement as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, it’s about as likely to happen
We talk so much about social media bans for under-16s and so little about the far more pressing need for a social media ban for Kemi Badenoch
Unbelievable.
Despite promising to change their ways, Thames Water is still on course to dump record amounts of sewage this year.
This can’t go on. Water companies and their regulators must do their part to clean our waterways.
I wrote a thing.
Font licensing is broken. Here’s how we’re fixing it. daltonmaag.com/blog/2026-03-02-font-licensing-is-broken.html
Abysmal, immoral, cruel, small hearted, tiny minded, ineffective, undemocratic, and just generally utterly indecent. What a bitter godforesaken disappointment these people are.

We should elect *this* Keir Starmer, not the baffled, gullible grifter Keir Starmer we’ve got now.
“We cannot say that the United States’ actions are against international law, but we condemn Iran’s retaliatory actions as against international law,” is neither a coherent nor a compelling position.
Roughly an eight-hour flight. Plenty of time to discuss people like Isabel Oakeshott's tax status. Their flight can always be rerouted to Rwanda, where I understand there is some very comfortable accommodation, all paid for.

That’s a £30 billion black hole in our economy, according to the IFS. And a ‘car crash’ for our care industry & the NHS. Just for starters. On the plus side, Bromsgrove currently has hundreds of union flags flying from lampposts.
It’s 2036. As the political spectrum has fragmented further, the SNP is now the Official Opposition at Westminster. It’s still apparently too difficult to reform the electoral system.
In the run-up to the 1992 General Election, the local candidates visited our Sixth Form for a hustings. The Tory candidate’s answer to *literally everything* was “less immigration” – in one of the whitest constituencies in the country. It’s as big a lie now as it was 34 years ago.
It’s almost like the whole panic over migration that seems to grip some political parties is entirely manufactured…
