Now that the UK has announced a Genital Election, I'm really looking forward to all the political content coming our way.

This isn't even sarcasm. I love a UK election.

Conservatives unveil new advisor to help with a cunning plan

Realising that they have had a few mis-steps with the election campaign so far, the new advisor is set to steer the Conservatives to election victory. The new advisor is reputed to be as cunning as a fox who’s just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford.

Finding it very hard to feel sympathy for these parents complaining about the Labour plan to change VAT rules for private schools.

Donald Trump Stopped Legal Team Pursuing 'Winning' Strategy: Attorney.
Former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti suggested on CNN that the former president would not permit his legal team to pursue a "winning" strategy in his falsifying business records case, which may have harmed his hopes of the jury returning a not guilty verdict.

That national service idea is a dead cat on the table.

Spend a week talking about that rather than how shit the Conservatives have been in Government.

Interesting perspective on Merrick Garland.

tldr: He was working on the Jan 6 investigation from the day he got there but was roadblocked by trump lackeys in the DOJ and FBI and had to overcome all of it to get things moving.

John Redwood isn’t standing for reelection either. Happy days. He was one of the worst ones. One of the Bastards referred to by John Major I think.

77 conservative MPs are not standing for reelection.

100 Labour election candidates have still to be chosen?

A good chunk of that 100 will likely be elected. How many will be nutters chosen without proper screening.

I know that candidates imposed from central party headquarters get a bad press, but I hope the Labour Party has been building a list of candidates.

One upside to the election campaign is that Marina Hyde will be writing about it a lot 😊

Vital point:

The date of the general election seems designed to disenfranchise young people as much as possible, since most university students who vote do so at their term-time address. Universities are in recess on 4 July & many students will be at their parents’ or between university accommodation. Please make sure anyone you know in this situation registers at an appropriate address, preferably with a postal vote.

The people who told you that fascism was not a threat were wrong.

The people who told you that Russia was not fascist were, if possible, more wrong.

Fascism is might over right, conspiracy over reality, fiction over fact, pain over law, blood over love, doom over hope.

Fascism advances every injustice. Its victory will leave us serfs of a vengeful nature, of relentless technology, and of unquestionable oligarchy.

Analytic clarity is needed for political clarity. If you do not know what you face, you do not know how to act.

Once named, fascism can be defeated. Indeed, once named it can be easily defeated.

Russian fascism must lose on the battlefield. Americans can bring this about by supporting courageous Ukrainians.

American fascism must lose at the ballot box. Americans can bring this about by organizing, canvassing, phone banking, donating, and voting.

We know from history that fascism can lose. And we know today the contests that must be won.

Via Prof. Tim Snyder

Compared to challenges that others face around the world, our odds in 2024 and 2025 are excellent. Americans have chances, not excuses.

A defeat of fascism is not a negation. It is an affirmation: of a future that can be more beautiful, more just, and more free.
