He paid twelve million then,

It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious

“White kids are just the right amount of lazy” is some fascinating racism.
Reminds me of the argument from the right that hard-working immigrants who bust their asses in food service, landscaping, etc. rob red-blooded American teens of the right to half-ass it at your first job.

I'm not saying anything new here but the rapid normalization of open extreme racism, thuggery, & general idiocy on the American right is really astonishing! This has been the case for a while now but has become notably worse in the last year, w/ these people increasingly just sounding like

I would just like to add that the notion of any continuity of "Western Civilization" between the modern day and Hellenistic Greece is fucking dumb.
Then again, given how many of our wealthy elites are pederasts, maybe I'm in the wrong here.

One of the funny* things about the Jenrick defection is his articles basically amount to "Reheated Thatcherism and bungs to pensioners have broken Britain, and that's why I'm joining the Reheated Thatcherism and Bungs to Pensioners Party".

Sums up how rubbish Badenoch is that she has been forced into a “You’re dumping me? I’m dumping you!” rather than just sacking and disbarring Jenrick over the many, many things that would have kept him out of any Tory Cabinet since 1968.

I think it says something about the times we are living in that my first thought seeing this (and the first thought of much of the NS office was) “are we sure this isn’t a deepfake and that Kemi Badenoch’s account hasn’t been hacked?”

With almost no exceptions, America's leading executives have either toadied up to Trump or kept silent. Will Trump's political witch hunt against Jay Powell hit the markets? That's about the only language CEOs understand.

The thing about any UK Twitter/X ban is that our political class are addicted to it. McSweeney bases his entire ideology on what weirdos on there are saying, Farage uses it because it boosts his reach and its where Kemi Badenoch finds all her favourite conspiracy theories.

"We privatised our water companies to secure investment to reduce the need for Treasury funding"
"And they've used that to invest in infrastructure?"
"Well, no."
"Ah, but at least they're desirable assets then."
"You'd think, but..."
"Hm, at least they run more efficiently."

I’ve been reading about influential new “conservative intellectuals” or “post-liberals” for at least a decade now and every time it’s just racism with a different hat on. Whatever the spin, it’s always fundamentally the same idea

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.
I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol.
They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.
