I watched season 1 of The Wire and it was... fine..

I've not felt the urge to watch any more.

One of your best!

This is amazing. Genuinely thought it was from The Onion when I first glanced at the title.

This is such a bang-on article. In particular I want to see Naomi's suggestion about energy sharing implemented. This is extremely timely right now and I believe it would help a great deal to ameliorate the energy price shock that is coming.

Yes, Keir Starmer must do better and go faster in bringing Britain closer to Europe. Here’s how to reset his reset | Naomi Smith MPs warn the plan so far lacks direction and drive, but there are four clear ways to really move on from our disastrous Brexit, says Naomi Smith of Best for Britain

“Four ways to a better, happier, more successful You” - no, not a pre-beach diet, but some really good advice for the Labour gov’t.

I see little evidence that Reform voters know anything or care about Reform's policies.

And to think he was overlooked for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Agreed. This is terrifying.

Nobody here needs to be told that Reform's claims of cheating are utterly absurd but it's worth noting that the anti-Reform vote was so large that even if the Greens and Labour had split it 50/50 Reform would still have lost — in fact they would have come third. They only value democracy if they win

Summary:

The electorate is restless.
Labour is rudderless.
Greens are hope.
Tories are hopeless.
And Reform’s silent majority has once again turned out to be a noisy minority.

If he wanted Labour to win it he only had to let @andyburnham.bsky.social stand.

Nigel Farage unveils Reform UK frontbench team and warns over dissent Leader says move should end claims of one-man band and shows party is ‘creating a machine for government’

This is just brilliant.

This is everything it should be - meticulously researched, deeply thought out, uncomfortably probing, scrupulously fair, AND ALSO outrageously entertaining.

This is how progressives should tell stories. An hour flew by.

They don't seem to understand who their voters are at all. It's maddening.

I can only agree.

How do I give this 100 more hearts. Absolutely outstanding and timely.

The "shaman" douchebag from the 6 January vandals.

For easy reference. On the left, "agitators" and "domestic terrorists". Or the right, presidentially pardonned "freedom fighters".

Reform byelection candidate refuses to disown claim that people born in UK not necessarily British Matthew Goodwin, who is standing in Gorton and Denton, said UK-born people from minority ethnic backgrounds were not always British

44% of the population of Denton and Gorton are ethnic minority, the majority of them born in the UK.

Reform's candidate says those people aren't British and are liable for deportation.

It's a bold electoral strategy: vote for me and I'll throw you into the sea.

BBC New's BBC Verify with Ros Atkins

Prove that President Trump and Kristi Noem lied

When they both claimed that Alex Pretti was a domestic terrorist

As the video evidence which they present, shows otherwise

They're not the brownshirts. That's the proud boys. ICE are the SS.

Couldn't agree more.

And yet I'd still rather Burnham was allowed to stand .. and challenge for the leadership. I think that would be better for the country.
