Pinter correct. "Comedy Theatre" rubbish name isn't it
Perfect Tom Stoppard story from DTel obituary:
His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

Enjoying all the political reporters who have today learned what ILR is and who are straining unsuccessfully remember the lettering in their write ups. Have seen "ILF" and "IRL" so far. Our fourth estate is in safe hands!

Just thinking back to when Labour got in and people were talking about how being in government lets you set the agenda, terms of debate etc and how this would change discourse on what is possible etc. Anyway they've had a year and none of that has happened because they're so abjectly useless. Bad.

The people who made this claim were projecting their dislike of seeing views that contradicted their own (and that they came from people who lacked visible credentials eg they weren't a journo, "polling commentator" etc). Well they have their wish now and I'm sure they're enjoying themselves.
As I said before, it's extremely telling how many people began to think twitter is real life once the leftists and liberals left it.
This is a great piece - anti-prejudice norms matter. Making it career ending to say racist things was a valuable social development. One of Musk’s most insidious effects is corroding this as politicians on the right mistake the voice of DavePatriot789 for the voice of a kingdom.

If enacted in the terms suggested, this policy would leave children, disabled people, pensioners and anyone unfortunate enough to lose their job (including for being “foreign”, since Reform will also have torn up employment protections) destitute and on the streets

Should really say "Farage plans to tear up the Brexit deal he supported" since it would requiring reneging on the Withdrawal Agreement (most "foreign nationals" claiming benefits are EU citizens with settled status)

"Minibreak with mates" 💀💀💀
Maybe - just a crazy idea, but bear with me for a moment! - the reason why the Lib Dems should not “get serious“ is that the UK’s most important media organisation covers politics in babytalk so much of the time?

My view is they're trying to fix the wrong problem: They focussed on supply-side planning reforms that will be important over the longer-term but appear to not realise that what we are actually facing is a more immediate crisis in demand at current prices and rates.

MHCLG estimating that "196,500 net additional homes have been delivered in England between 1 April 2024 and 31 March 2025".
The numbers are heading in the wrong direction for the government to get anywhere near their 1.5m target and they'll be lucky to hit 1m at this rate.
