What Israel does so often w/ the organs of Palestinians is so unbelievably crazy that you sound insane just repeating it. It’s actually quite the cover for bad acts, make them so horrific nobody can believe they’re even possible. This teacher got fired for repeating what Palestinian doctors say...

No-one seems to have noticed, but many of the core developments in the Mandelson/Epstein story these last few days have been broken on this website. @pickardje.bsky.social and @petergeoghegan.bsky.social are both posting each breaking development on BlueSky, not X.

Much the same as with Karen Pierce and the US ambo appointment, Starmer actually had someone who could have been director of comms, Steph Driver, who gave years of hard work and professionalism in opposition but then got a succession of people promoted over her for no apparent reason

That was one of the more astounding things of reading the various “Morgan’s buddies” post-mortems, a total refusal to even acknowledge how the Government’s electoral performance is going while still touting this guy as a brilliant strategist heading off the soft left or whatever
And that's ultimately who he was: the preferred chief of staff of the 'no policies, just vibes' crowd, who are in denial even now that they have driven Labour to the brink of death.

A good example of how strangely unpolitical this government is at times.
The Economist is fretting that trade union laws have been tilted (sharply!) back towards strengthening unions.
But is the government making an argument around this to progressive voters? No.

Over 98 minutes Charlton probably slightly better team, but in the last 10 we could have scored more than once. Kolli added something to the attack. Smyth was lively but with little end product. Stephan was slow with subs. Great defensive performance from Cook my MotM + good saves from Walsh #QPR

Rs started well but have conceded the initiative to Charlton and the defence have been under pressure. They've dealt with everything but some close shaves. Charlton are muscling Hayden, Vale and Madsen out of possession and Rs have created almost nothing #QPR
