  7. BBC Christmas schedule: Christmas Eve — great news for fans of disappointing third films and things you’ve already seen multiple times. Christmas Day — good news for people who have lost the will to live. Boxing Day — Cosy, cosy, cosy... oh god, the horror of war.

  8. I won’t take any lectures on “mean-mindedness” from a man who ran one of the most racist campaigns in British electoral history and, when booted out of Parliament, got himself a cushy spot in the Lords thanks to the incompetent he’s now defending.

  11. The Spectator describes me as “the permanently outraged MP”. Highest excess death toll in Europe. Deepest recession in G7. Unicef forced to feed our kids. Billions to Tory mates in dodgy contracts. Climate catastrophe looming. If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention.

  12. Tomorrow’s newsletter is going to be about the way much of the media banged the drum for Christmas to go ahead and are now surprised that’s turned out to be a mess. The Daily Mail, The Sun and others were chomping at the bit to have “Independence Day” earlier in the year too.

  16. Because the brave new economy that we now live in is predicated on forcing people to do ‘gig’ work out of pure desperation. UBI would break that fundamental plank of the exploitation system.

    "I understand the new British Covid-19 strain is more transmissible between children than the older strain." Gee, I wonder what close-proximity environment might have helped that strain to thrive?

  21. There will be an emergency edition of The Paper Thing tomorrow. Live at midday to dissect how the newspapers have responded to the latest colossal disgrace from this government. Expect a vituperative newsletter tomorrow too
