This is why I think Kemi is extremely high-risk. There is every chance she will step on a rake during the election and then spend two scarce campaigning days insisting that being hit in the face by a rake handle is great actually and part of the plan. And then find another rake.
Will Reid-Tong@willthong.com · 19h agoSomehow Kemi on R4 has just backed herself into the utterly farcical line "come on now it's not a *national* platform - he's only gonna be a Tory councillor, not a Tory MP!"

But I didn’t want Cadburys to taste like shite, that’s been imposed on me. Mondolez made $2.4 billion last year they could have swallowed some of the higher cocoa costs, but didn’t, and more importantly, now costs are lower, they won’t reinstate the quality will they?
Max Dubler 🏳️🌈@maxdubler.com · 3d agoI think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.
this should’ve been the beginning of the end for infantino. the fifa/eafc game is the most popular sports franchise in the world, for a “nonprofit” whose mission statement is to ‘globalize and popularize’ football, getting $150m for the game to literally be called ‘FIFA’ is the deal of the century.
Treblig 🇺🇦@camtreblig.bsky.social · 3d agoAn underrated cause of Infantino’s problems is him playing silly buggers with EA Sports: FIFA got $150m a year just to let EA use the name on a game. Literally free money. But Gianni got greedy and wanted more, EA called his bluff and walked away. Since then he’s been trying to make up the shortfall
“I know he had horrible views, was unpleasant about LGBTQ people, was widely reported to have been revolting to his wives and wrote about wanting having sex with young girls and wanting to get rid of the ban on child pornography, but he was really nice to me at dinner once, RIP” Really?! #getagrip

If Reform had a policy on mining cheese on the moon, #r4today would have a 20minute piece on it, without asking if there is any cheese on the moon.
Very obliging of #r4today to lead with Reform’s ‘plan’ to stop the boats using the Royal Navy, pretending it’ll be some great WWII-style escapade, rather than a hateful, costly, diplomatically incontinent mess. A total waste of everyone’s time as they’ll never be in power and it’s unworkable anyway.

It's not going to become 'the norm' though, is it? That's what so fucking terrifying about it. It's going to become a lot worse, very quickly.

On Burnham’s social care speech today, it was deeply refreshing to see him make a point to thank immigrants who provide social care. I hope that reflects where we go with ILR bill but beyond that it is good to hear gratitude and openness rather than scapegoating and penny pinching.
Louise Casey makes the point that care is underpaid compared to the NHS - another example of a Cinderella service so painfully laid bare during Covid-19. Care workers get an average annual salary of £23k. NHS healthcare worker starts on £25k. We undervalue care as a society.
Today experienced the 24th day of year hitting 30C in London. For perspective in whole of 1980s we had 21 days.

hi i’ve stayed on a *low* secure psych ward and it was like a prison. didn’t go outside for 11 months, couldn’t see my sisters for same amount of time bc no children on ward, subjected to random frisks of my room/body, staff could listen in on visits with parents. broadmoor isn’t the “easy” option
