🔴Bannon, Epstein, Farage and Johnson and the Plot to ‘Topple’ Theresa May
The far-right former Trump adviser told Jeffrey Epstein that “we are overthrowing May right now” as he worked with Boris Johnson to remove the then Conservative Prime Minister from office

Have a read of this. Great scoop, obviously, but it’s also an absolute masterclass in how to report on these jokers. Plenty of London-based hacks could learn a lot from Martin Shipton here. If they actually wanted to…

As the @DailyMail loses its shit over an exodus of Poles from Britain, worth reflecting on the warm welcome that it and other parts of the rancid right-wing media gave them over the years
Editorial lead at the Times between about 2018-21, and I have to say he is not wrong.
This is the lack of quality of the latest Reform catch Bradley. A liar who spreads fake stories without thinking about the consequences. Jeremy Corbyn should have bankrupted the c-nt.
Finished Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall trilogy. What an astonishingly brilliant series of books. The layering of narrative and voice are so beautifully done, and I loved the sensuousness of the language - food, clothes, smells all made vivid.
‘Love’!
Hadn’t listened to this in ages. I oove where his viice goes.

23,000 people died because Boris Johnson was too busy walking a dog, riding a motorbike and hosting guests as he took four days off at Chevening, instead of addressing warning signs of the pandemic
Why isn't Boris Johnson in jail?
Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …
Fine definition
I think an alternative take on this is that students are being pushed towards business courses by government and societal rhetoric on employability, when they'd rather be doing other things they're more interested in...
All power to J. Brave and brilliant.
I think this is true in a deep and troubling way. I have been observing this too. I am getting old & maybe I’m wrong, but I really feel basic academic, critical and intellectual, attitudes that were normal and prominent 20 years ago seem to have eroded. I agree, we need to understand how and why.
“Uncritical adoption of AI, will inevitably create people without critical thinking, and this may be a feature - not a bug, as it represents an attack on human agency itself.”

At last. Call these fuckers out for what they are. Enough of pandering to ‘understandable concerns’. Nice one Zack Polanski.
One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way. What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money. Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight. To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.
TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it
This is such a nuanced and big-hearted piece on the evolution of autism as a diagnosis, by an anthropologist of mental health who is also the dad of a now-grown daughter on the spectrum. Great reading (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/o...
It's a good job Morgan McSweeney didn't fail to declare a five quid Universal Credit overpayment, because he'd really be in trouble then
Love this. Denys Lasdun wanted the concrete of the building to weather over time, and somehow this feels in keeping with that original vision.
Since this is apparently a resigning matter, I’ll just leave this here…

If Rayner’s actions speak of entitlement, how should we interpret someone on an MPs salary neglecting his duties in parliament but promoting the interests of his TV channel in the US, flogging gold bullion, bloviating for the Telegraph, and making use of trust funds and offshore banking?

Talks about what? Moral turpitude? Spineless handwringing? How to give succour to ethnonationalist racism?
Are you young, highly educated and driven, and want to contribute to our stagnant economy with its aging population and low productivity? Well out you go
Amazing story: one of the organisers of the group putting Union Flags up around Manchester previously did time for being part of a people smuggling gang.

This should be headline news - the implications are horrifying …
Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations
When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?
