No one would understand him.

Keir Starmer’s position has not improved, but it has stabilised a bit because Labour MPs have looked into the abyss, and the abyss has looked back and said “you remember that the HMRC investigation into Angela Rayner is still ongoing, right?” Then they’ve looked at the abyss some more and it has continued: “and you do know that Wes Streeting has a much closer personal and political connection to the disgraced Peter Mandelson than Keir Starmer?” The abyss, growing quite chatty at this point, has added: “and come on, Shabana Mahmood is not going to win a leadership election. Labour members are not going to pick the border-tightening home secretary, are you nuts?”
I hope the abyss in @stephenkb.bsky.social's newsletter becomes a returning character
I enjoyed this a lot. Filled the ”Boxing Day war film" slot very well.

The Trump administration has repeatedly claimed that it needs to send the military into American cities because of the unique danger faced by federal agents.
But, according to ICE's own data, the leading cause of death for agents is COVID-19.

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice."
Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.
It's pretty incredible I have to agree. The podcast feature is something else.
For an hour.
Afternoon's march around a very foggy #bradford. What a great job they've done of pedestrianising the centre! A superb way to appreciate all the #Victorian architecture. Second to mine. Didn't even get to Little Germany, next time...
Also my all time favourite 👍
That's ALF, right? It's not just me?
And no Tom Hollander as Binky or Tufty or whatever. He and Hugh Laurie made the first one TBH.
You did see this earlier right? “Of course my own pension is affordable, I’ve paid in all my life for it. The system for future generations? Utterly unaffordable of course”
unstoppable force (US/UK boomer need for care labour) vs immovable object (the global g20 rage against immigrant labour)
Terrific start to the day.
Plus: Tom Hardy!
💯 The right call. I think it's one of the best TV shows of all time. Just the context of traumatised returning WW1 veterans is interesting enough, but it's so much more.
"You Americans have killed a lot of sand. The sand was... very evil."
When the Manchester Guardian calls, the people of the North heed the call. And if those people are me, we inject Manchester Liberalism, even from across the Pennines, right back in to the paper of Northern record. Get your fill. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
And yet here we all are, scrolling social media. In the dark.
I watched it last weekend. It's a proper old school classic movie. Genuinely heartwarming.
I don't really post anymore, but I would like to carry on writing books at some point in the future.
Hate to be annoying, but any chance you could retweet so old twitter followers can find me if they want to? Going to delete my twitter, or at least abandon it on lock and let it die a slow death.
Parklife!
What did I tell you?
Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.
😬
I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world?
Almost a decade after the Brexit vote, GDP in the UK is around 6-8% lower relative to peer countries. (Source: www.nber.org/papers/w34459)
