@flying_rodent There's a joke in Don't Look Up about this where the emotion sensing app for personalised content in the new Bash Phone gets repurposed as the Government Comet counselling phone line.

[Dotrari @dotrari]

@flying_rodent Blast from the past there.

They essentially pursued a case against her they knew was untrue.

The original trial judge stopped the trial.

@flying_rodent Speaking of the intellectual side of fascism, she's just carrying on the ever affable Danny's work.

@Teuse112442 @BareLeft Michael Mann's Heat.

@flying_rodent Always remember the Nick Davies story that when Blunkett resigned over the Fortier affair and the hounding by the News Of The World he was invited for commiseratory/celebratory drinks with Rebecca Wade (Brooks) in her office. And he went.

[Dotrari @dotrari]

@flying_rodent Remember how after Salisbury, Corbyn pointed out how much money the Conservatives had taken from dodgy Russians and he was loudly condemned by both sides of the House? Especially his own MP's.

Fun times.

@FrayneJack34043 Is that Andrew Watt having to write choruses for them?

He's like a lot of modern producers and gets writing credits and not just producer points.

@flying_rodent I would find Polly's claims to want to keep Nigel out of Downing Street a bit easier to take if there wasn't an inconvenient photo of them together at the Spectator Summer Party a couple of years ago with an illustrative quote.

@judeinlondon

[Dotrari @dotrari]

@flying_rodent Was it Spiked or the Spectator?

Does it make a difference or matter? Not really.

[Dotrari @dotrari]

@flying_rodent Absolutely.

Also, it's a bit of a turn up to see The Times basically reprinting a Spiked article but that is where we are.

[Dotrari @dotrari]

@AdHawkeye @BareLeft Yep. Actively cancelling appointments and paying GPs not to refer people to hospital.

What I find amazing is that they openly announced they would do this so there's no excuse for people who talk about this stuff to not know better.

[Dotrari @dotrari]

@digitalben @bat020 I think it'll end for Starmer like Noel Edmonds firing Bazookas off the top of his mansion in Brass eye.

[Dotrari @dotrari]

@bat020 Burnham has also mentioned a couple of times in interviews that he doesn't think he was treated properly by Harman during the 2015 leadership campaign.

So I wonder if that comes into it.

[Dotrari @dotrari]

@siennamarla Failing TV show circling the drain in terms of ratings resorts to stunt casting to drum up interest.

It rarely goes well.

[Dotrari @dotrari]

@Mr_Considerate @DrEoin Marshall literally co-wrote the Orange Book but fell out with them over Europe.

It's too simple to say he was a very wealthy man who got what he wanted until he didn't, but people getting pushback and going off the rails with resentment seems to be pattern.

[Dotrari @dotrari]

@flying_rodent It's also not true. Corbyn unified them.

"Mandelson entertained at his home Brownites...such as Gordon’s enforcer Ian Austin. He even grew close to Tom Watson, with whom he had held a decades-long contest over the scale of their mutual hatred."

@bat020 Yeah, I don't think Keith had much of a say in it.

It's quite a trend that any decision he makes for himself ends up being a disaster that has to be undone.
