  1. A quotation from Twain

    I could have given my own sect the preference and made everybody a Presbyterian without any trouble, but that would have been to affront a law of human nature: spiritual wants and instincts are as various in the human family as are physical appetites, complexions, and features, and a man is only at his best, morally, when he is equipped with the religious garment whose color and shape and size most nicely accommodate themselves to the spiritual complexion, angularities, and stature of the individual who wears it.

    Mark Twain (1835–1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
    Novel (1889), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, Part 3 “The Tale of the Lost Land,” ch. 10 “Beginnings of Civilization”

  2. Woke up this morning to see that Farage has decided not to attend the Count, or indeed the count today. ‘because of a credible threat against him.’

    True, it is very credible that people will laugh and make fun of him. What a loser.

    So it’s back to the Parlimentary standards committee, Groundhog Day - your master stroke didn’t quite work out the way you thought it would did it Niggle?

  4. A quotation from Hugo

    What was the crime? To complain. What was the crime? To suffer. Let misery hide and be silent, otherwise it is lèse-majesté.
     
    [Quel était l’attentat? se plaindre. Quel était le crime? souffrir. Que la misère se cache et se taise, sinon elle est lèse-majesté.]

    Victor Hugo (1802–1885) French writer, journalist, human rights activist, politician
    The Man Who Laughs [L’Homme qui rit; The Laughing Man; By Order of the King], Part 2, Book 9, ch. 2 (.2.9.2) (1869) [tr. Lavelle (2003)]

  6. When Farage and Reform say "establishment" they mean the rule of law which stops them dressing up money laundering as "donations"

  8. “Keir Starmer’s Resignation: The End of a Manufactured ‘Decent’ Man”

    by Nouri in Manufacturing Dissent on Substack

    @uk_politics
    @UKLabour

    “Today’s resignation is the system finally admitting, under pressure, that the ‘forensic, decent, capable’ story was a fraud. The moralless corrupt at the centre of it has changed. What has changed is that the mask no longer works”

  10. “Burnham’s no ‘King of the North – he’s the Menace from Manchester for the left”

    by Rachael Swindon in The Canary

    @thecanaryuk
    @uk_politics
    @UKLabour

    “Polls show Burnham is outpacing Starmer among Labour members, which really shouldn’t be too difficult. Burnham’s folksy charm and occasional rhetorical flourishes about public control of essential utilities play rather well in working-class heartlands.

    So let’s be absolutely clear from the word go. Andy Burnham is no saviour of the left. He is its latest disappointment, dressed in a tracksuit and a warm regional accent.

    Worse, his brand of soft-left managerialism poses a direct danger to the Green Party’s growing, necessary challenge to the broken two-party system”

  11. A quotation from Shaw

    All censorships exist to prevent any one from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions. All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing institutions. Consequently the first condition of progress is the removal of censorships.

    George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Irish playwright and critic
    Mrs. Warren’s Profession, Preface (1893)

  12. Democratic Majority for Israel #DMFI is a lobbying group advocating pro-Israel policies within the Democratic Party.
    They had cancelled their ads in NE-02 after the beneficiary, New Dem-endorsed Denise Powell, had disavowed support from pro-Israel PACs.
    Now they are running ads in NE-02 through a shell PAC called "Pro-Choice Majority 2026," which has the same campaign treasurer.

  14. A quotation from Lyman Beecher

    It was as dark a day as ever I saw. The injury done to the cause of Christ [by disestablishment], as we then supposed, was irreparable. For several days I suffered what no tongue can tell for the best thing that ever happened to the State of Connecticut. It cut the churches loose from dependence on state support. It threw them wholly on their own resources and on God.

    Lyman Beecher (1775-1863) American minister, preacher, abolitionist
    Autobiography, Vol. 1, ch. 51 “Downfall of the Standing Order” (1864) [ed. Charles Beecher

  16. “Polanski calls out BBC’s woeful [Anti-Far Right - my edit] protest coverage”

    by Willem Moore in The Canary

    @thecanaryuk
    @uk_politics
    @ZackPolanski
    @BBC5Live
    @BBCRadio4
    @BBCNews

    “While the BBC did cover the protest, it’s fair to say that other protests have received significantly more attention. A key example of this was the far-right ‘Unite the Kingdom’ protest, which saw about 150,000 people hit the streets of London. An example of the BBC’s extended coverage was [a] piece in which they interviewed attendees to understand why they attended the Tommy Robinson-linked event”
