"I have nothing against cyclists. I just don’t think it’s OK for some to decide rules are for other people. And I find it baffling that so many cyclists who purport to be law-abiding want to make that argument." Now recorded for posterity in the New Statesman www.newstatesman.com/politics/fut...

These anonymous MPs saying it's 'electoral suicide' to tinker with the triple lock. Exactly the type who got us into this mess: unwilling to lead, unwilling to recognise reality for fear of offending voters, unwilling to solve long-term problems if it presents the slightest short-term risk.

Really bad habit amongst my fellow people who cycle is to attempt to play down the misdeeds of other people cycling - Yes people in cars jumping red lights is potentially worse. No that does not excuse this behaviour

This will be why Batshit Dorries was all over the media this morning with conspiracy theories about stings and the establishment trying to take down Nigel - Cretins

Terrifyingly plausible - "We Haven't Done the Reading" with Zack and Kemi

It’s easy to look comfortable when you have Tielemans and De Bruyne beside you! 😜 …and, oh dear, Iran just scored! 😂

The scale of Green and Lib Dem tactical voting here very encouraging for the next Genny Lec

The limits of a UK political system that has refused for ten years to make hard decisions are reached. There are no easy answers. There is no magic money / growth tree. Leaders are going to have to make choices.

Keir Starmer's response to Nigel Farage at PMQs just now was probably the most powerful and eloquent I have seen him in the Commons. The full answer is worth reading.

Dan Neil is a good age at 24. He was club captain in their championship year, so potential leadership in the dressing room alongside Shankkand. Free transfer, so a risk that I'd be willing to take.

I would hope we’ve maybe learnt our lesson about picking up out of form, haven’t done anything, can’t be arsed players! 😜 That’s a ‘No’ from me then! 😁 #PlayFindlay

The level of confidence that people seem to have in Burnham winning in Makerfield is giving me very 2016 vibes if you know what I mean

Should read "UK economy continues to bump along the bottom after 20 years of stagnation - Levels of change basically unmeasurable/statistically insignificant"

god I'd love to have been a fly on the wall of that meeting between Starmer and Streeting! (because as a fly my life expectancy would be less than a month and the sweet release of death would save me from hearing more about this tedious fucking Labour political drama)

Is this good?

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

They should be confronted with their defeat and humiliation at every opportunity and removed from power and prosecuted for war crimes and corruption at the earliest opportunity

We’ve passed through the Back to the Future universe and have entered the Robocop universe

Proof that the concept of the April Fools gag died along with the concept of objective truth in 2016

Stop saying "vibe coding", please for the love of God

Someone needs to add the Curb outro music to this ASAP

The ‘we need to rethink our approach to the North Sea’ is dumbest conversation in UK politics Expensive to extract- much of it now owned by small producers - that goes into global market Good to jobs in Aberdeen, not much else *mad* we’re not talking about energy security + renewables every day

I think about this quote from All The Presidents Men constantly- “The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand”.

Check his hard drive

TRUMP: honk honk honk, I'm a big goose. everyone tells me whenever I enter a room, that's the biggest goose I've ever seen and I say yes. I'm a big goose. in a good way. a lot of Somalians are small stupid gooses but I'm a big goose BBC NEWS: a disciplined Trump sticks to the script on the economy

Has anyone asked Macron about his sunglasses or are we all just going to ignore that?

We don’t do court reports, especially when it comes to violent crime, but there’s always an exception.

Item 1 A highway that will cost billions, take 20 years and contribute to the destruc.....Approved! Item 2 A bike lane that will cost almost nothing, reduce traffic and align with our climate emerg...Do you have approval from every living and deceased resident in the city?

Does anyone know if Richard Hughes is still in post as head of the OBR?

Whoopsie 😑

Napoleon complex and male pattern baldness is going to destroy liberal democracy

A Potemkin State visit

A vacancy opens for someone without a job who has things in common with Donald Trump.

He’s finished (again)

Sounds like Rayner's resigned.

Does the madman theory of diplomacy still work when everyone knows the main protagonist is definitely 110% mad?

Once again, not important in the grand scheme of things, but astonished how shit the graphics are on the US House feed

Does Sir Beer Korma know how to get results or WHAT?

I understand why it's like this, but I will never forgive the web for shifting to a form where the two paragraphs of information I need only exist as a ten-minute video.

Lots of navel gazing amongst the commentariat following the locals - The fundamentals haven’t changed: If Labour can’t reverse our economic decline they’ll be a one term Government. Everything else is noise.

IT'S. ONLY. BEEN. 100. DAYS

I appreciate some people will be sad about this - But really how can you possibly need more than 20 episodes of a podcast about heat pumps? bsky.app/profile/evan...

We need more people on the political side of policy making to absorb the lesson: "Complexity is inherent"

This will appear in a few future history books as the perfect metaphor for current events....

"Buy American? Fellas, your MAGA hats are made in China"

Absolutely absurd that we are still dishing out honours from the Rishi Sunak era - The whole rotten system needs upending
