Gakpo is so loose in possession. His passes are always too slow, or bobble, or just misplaced. So frustrating.

I don’t think Liverpool will go down though.

Nothing they talk about more in "left behind communities" than reinstalling the Shah.

I think vinyl bros tend to be sniffy about it because it was such a commercial success. It is a stunning album.

Iran Crisis: They Wanted Sovereignty. Just Not Like This If anyone has ruined the special relationship, it's not Starmer- it's Trump

No legal basis. No clear objective. No exit. And much of Britain’s political class spent the week calling Starmer a coward for noticing.

Latest substack from me.

Matt Goodwin propagating untrue stories - "Some evenings, I canvassed streets where nobody spoke a word of English" - + Nigel Farage's stories about Oldham, where UKIP failed to produce an election petition

There is no Reform election petition in Gorton + Denton

Very Trumpian.

This is unconscionable. These American military & civilian leaders need to be in The Hague.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Oakeshott is thicker than mince. Not a moral judgement, just fact.

I see Farage is off to Mar-a-Lago to talk down Britain and suck up to Trump.

There's nothing patriotic about cheering on a foreign leader whose illegal war is sending British families’ energy bills through the roof.

I think I got this a few years ago, but directly from something I read rather than inferring it for myself (I’m not that bright). Fascinating little nuance isn’t it?

This is excellent - the best thing I've seen on the supposed "sectarianism" of the Gorton & Denton by-election. (Unfortunately not posted until after I wrote my own blog touching briefly on a few of the issues, or I would have referred to it there.)

This gives hope that people seeing the absolute ghouls they elected as Reform councillors being both awful people & terrible in office will be good for Labour.

On the one hand, a clearly deranged lunatic in the White House starting a dangerous illegal war on Iran with already-serious repercussions for the region and world...

Or having a pop at Keir Starmer.

You just knew which side the Right would come down on.

Just shows how much contempt Reform has for their own supporters. This is a policy that helps the kids of the wealthy educated liberal elites they claim to despise. And would harm the types of constituency they do well in.
