Sunak's Braverman Gamble
I don't like egg. But if it must be served, my preference is on the face of pundits stealing a living by pretending to know things about politics. Rishi Sunak's hello speech outside Number 10 was one such occasion. Gone was the awkward delivery of his CCHQ address on Monday, this was nice guy Rishi. Relatable Rishi. Grown-up-in-the-room Rishi. Indeed, briefcase commentators - such as James O'Brien and Ian Dunt - used that exact phrase in conjunction with our new Prime Minister. The qualities they crave in a leader, which boils down to a suit, calm and fluent speaking, and vibes are ... read more

Fetterman flops in debateMatt Margolis: On Monday, John Fetterman’s campaign desperately sought to lower expectations for their candidate when he faced off against Republican nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz—even going so far as to suggest that they expected Fetterman to lose. I can assure you they didn’t lower expectations nearly enough. I watched the entire debate, and I have to admit that I sometimes felt bad for Fetterman. I’m sure he expected to have bounced back from the stroke quicker and stronger than he has, but Tuesday night’s debate performance merely demonstrated just how far he has to go in his recove... read more
