    Newsnight have Poppy whatnot on from the Telegraph. She's just said "They are saying this is worse than the Profumo Affair". The only person who has said that is Nigel Farage. I really can't believe that they keep puuting her on. She hates Starmer. and is totally hopeless.

    I really don't think she's the only person in the country who hates Starmer...
    Not even the only one on PB
    The Only SKS Fan In The Village?
    Do we have a single Starmer supporter other than the pet troll?
    I am a Tory but would rather have Starmer than Rayner or Ed Miliband
    Starmer has been very ineffective. The continuity Sunak policies were not what people voted for.

    Starmer has to go. Milliband would be a disaster of Johnsonian proportions.

    I don't like Rayner but she has more about her than Starmer, Milliband or Streeting.

    Maybe Elon Musk has done something most PBers would approve of.

    "Starlink shutdown sends Russian soldiers back to Dark Ages
    Almost 90 per cent of Russian units have lost connections after Elon Musk ordered the switch-off" (£)

    Oh don't get me wrong, I approve of that. And it's not the first time he's done it. But it's the Superman problem: he is an individual who can save or damn states through his great wealth. No one man should have all that power, but in the 2020s we are breeding individuals - Musk, Thiel, Zuck, Bezos, etc - that do.

    It doesn't matter whether they are supervillains or superheroes, it's the "super" that's the problem.
