Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.
Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’
I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

Not sure whether I'd be happier to hear the White House press team ask about Minneapolis's nomination for the Nobel Prize, or for someone to bluntly ask about the President shitting himself on live telly the other week.
Shame they probably won't ask either question...

One of the great British tragedies of recent decades is the collapse of its university system. Wrecked by disastrous Govt policy experimentation followed by neglect, and a totally incompetent, vindictive executive class. Utterly fucked now. Well done pricks.

This is unlikely to help - but I do find it hard to be dishonest.

Controversial elder Goth opinion.
The best Christmas film is the BBC's "The World Of Peter Rabbit & Friends - The Tailor of Gloucester".
Muppets Christmas Carol: very good.
Tailor of Gloucester: even better.

Yeah, yeah. I know. America is important. But I'm so fucking sick of it absolutely dominating the UK news cycle. I get it. You voted in a turd and now you're swimming in fascist shit. But we have our own rightwing wanklord problems that need more national coverage.

OK so feeling slightly apprehensive about this, which I suppose is kind of the point. This is an attempt at a progressive view on masculinity and on men getting laid. God help me. iandunt.substack.com/p/how-to-be-...
How to be a man
The right story narrative about male attractiveness is grounded in Social Darwinism and free market economics. Can progressives tell a better story?

🧵 Second quarter FEC reports were released last week!
We have the most money in this race, an average donation of $32, and likely more in-District donors than the rest of the field combined.
Here’s what's in those reports, why we're celebrating, and why we can't let up in our voter outreach:

Walking past a quiet local beach, a teacher was sat with a small crowd of very tiny people. She was explaining how a day at the beach worked.
"Now remember to put your socks *in* your shoes"
"Last year, a seagull stole someone's sock"
Many tiny faces, aghast!
