The phrase "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity" has no weight in Britain because the powerful people in this country are equal parts malicious *and* stupid

Isn’t fair to point fingers at individuals but this has seriously tarnished Scott Carson’s legacy for me.

Is she evil? Yes. Is she clearly in the midst of a dire mental health crisis? Absolutely. Do I think it’s kind of fun that she’s dressed like Catwoman for no apparent reason? Unfortunately also yes.
Dems are in DISARRAY. An Iranian-American student asks Abdul El-Sayed to DENOUNCE Iranian terrorist regime and he couldn’t bring himself to do it. Hasan Piker promoted political violence against Chuck Schumer. Kamala Harris sits through a roundtable about birthing persons and nods along. I discuss a seven-step plan to end the Iran war - NOW - not after the election. Watch 👇

Why would any politician take advice from people who advised Keir Starmer? If there's one group of people we *know* are bad at strategy its these lads

We are married! He is MY husband. The wedding was magical and REAL. We kiss when we have the time. Why doesn’t anyone believe me?! I sang about his podcast! And how his magic d saved me! It’s REAL and definitely not fake. We are in LOVE.
nenhuma música da Taylor pro travis parece realmente sincera né parece só forçação de barra parece que ela escreve de uma forma que PRECISA PROVAR que está apaixonada e não sobre o sentimento de estar apaixonada em si

Strange that the Starmer government was completely fucked up by their failure to push through benefit cuts, since they are so very popular with the public

Loadbearing use of the word "journalist", here.
Journalist Hadley Freeman drew loud laughs around the room at the Jewish Community Hustings in Holborn and St Pancras when she asked Zack Polanski: ‘If I vote for you, will you promise to make my breasts bigger?’ She had also asked whether the need for such huge security at the event was due to a ‘perception of unsafety’. When the laughter died down, he said: ‘That’s interesting, you’ve linked those two things because for both the media have misreported what I said. I was very clear when I said that whether someone is actually scared, or they're worried about their safety, neither are acceptable.’ The other bit went unanswered as the debate moved on.

I have an odd fascination n kind of respect for noire for running my favorite type of modern grift which is accruing a horde of white liberals to use as pay pigs/emotional hostages they keep at bay w the fear of being called racist by the only black person they know

Kinda remarkable to see Starmerists still fighting in the jungles like this after the guy made it very clear he doesn't give a fucking shit about you.
Darren Jones tells @PronouncedAlva: “The irony of the welfare rebellion – that was organised by people who are now in government – was that Keir wasn’t here because he was saving NATO ... I don’t think he’s being given sufficient credit for it.”

Esther Walker isn't a fan of Zack Polanski. This is bad news for the Greens, because Esther Walker is also married to Giles Coren, and is therefore an exemplary judge of character.
On the morning of the 2005 general election, the young man who sat opposite me at work asked, 'How did you vote?'. 'That's none of your business,' I replied, in a silly, prim voice. A cruel look passed across his face. 'You voted Tory, didn't you?' he crowed. 'That's why you won't say!' He started to point at me. 'Tory voter! TORY SCUM!' ✍️ Esther Walker Article | spectator.com/article/ill-do…
