Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
probably more accurate to say "this is not Tony Blair that we're dealing with"
One of my favourite sides of politics/media.
Was really worried about the Scrubs reboot but I loved it. The style is the same and it still works, silly and I love it. They've grown the characters up really well. Just missing the janitor and hope Cox isn't going to disappear.
As Nigel Farage makes Robert Jenrick his Shadow Chancellor, here's a quick reminder of the sort of man Reform wants to put in charge of the nation's finances
Wow.
(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.
Nadhim Zahawi thinks London is now unsafe, because the other day a tired-looking man walked past him during the morning rush hour.
Just beyond parody at this point
Starmer has a great opportunity to bring in anti corruption legislation and take some of Brown's suggestions on board. Will show that they are doing something, will be popular and will put safeguards in place if Reform get in next. It's a no brainer really switch is why I don't expect it to happen.
Trump is seeking to undermine British and European democracy and anyone who takes the money and does his bidding should be called out fir what they are
That‘s the spirit.
Yes, quite. It's the biggest scandal of this administration, so far, probably. It's an average Tuesday under Johnson.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Top 8 stories on Guardian are on the Epstein files, and Trump is not mentioned on the front page once (though is in pic).
This is what happens when you control which documents are disclosed and which are not.
A BBC article about Epstein & Andrew used the clunky line "the late sex offenders Florida home" and it got me thinking how necessary it is to always add "late" for those that have passed. In this instance it's entirely necessary as I don't think Andrew has a home in Florida.
“We’re in a worse position than Germany when it comes to the Right, because Germany has Proportional Representation… we’re taking a huge gamble with Farage under First Past The Post, because he could win on 29%” warns Lord Roger Liddle

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵
This is incredible. Surely Mandelson must face prosecution for this? Working against the people of this country to line his own pockets alongside those of US bankers. Incredible.
I knew he was a slime ball but I would never have expected this.
🚨BREAKING - Gordon Brown says he has asked the Cabinet Secretary "to investigate the disclosure of confidential and market sensitive information" allegedly from Mandelson
Says he asked the cabinet office to investigate this in September and department found no record.
here's tonight's FT splash, fresh from the Epstein files
A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
TACO
In an article where the headline was Jenrick saying "the Conservatives broke Britain" the BBC has decided to be describe him as a former shadow cabinet minister - glossing over that he was a big part of the mob that did the breaking.

A flow chart shows 17.4 million leave voters in 2016, vs 16.1m remain. In 2025, 5 million of those people have died, and 3 million new voters have come of age. The result (plus some people changing their mind) is 19.8 million voters now back rejoin, versus just 11.7 million wanting to stay out.
Absolutely amazing chart from @peterkellner.bsky.social's piece in @thenewworldmag.bsky.social today:

This is how Chris Mason, like a child filled with wonder, described "the choreography and theatre that surrounds a Budget" in Feb 2024, when a male Tory Chancellor was in post.
"Plans, or even just options, can be floated... Reaction to them can be tested. Opponents can be teased or wrongfooted." 👀
With a special Easter message to Tory MP Jonathan Gullis: Given the multiple bits of embarrassing personal information we have on you, I suggest you pipe down on your attacks against me
Oh wow, that's awkward. #Gullis
