i feel like labour saying "they can't do it to EU citizens" and not say anything reassuring about non-eu people on visas is not a thing to be chilling out about tbh. like ok cool, it "doesn't cover all foreign born nationals". what about the rest of them?

SO HE GETS BETTER AT IT?! NOOO! MAKE HIM STOP!!

Fenella Racist, the former Conservative Minister for Housing (6-9 October 2021), has sensationally defected to Reform UK. Racist, 52, who lost her seat to a Labour newcomer with a large face and a briefcase, said the Tories had lost sight of ordinary voters’ priorities, which is a code they use.

Don't attack them for being hypocritical, attack them for being homophobes. It is, again, something that sets them out from the British public, even on the right.

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before. Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

[opposing devastating cuts to welfare] You can no longer be a Labour MP [sending birthday messages to convicted paedophile, sex trafficker and "best pal" Jeffrey Epstein then continuing contact after his first conviction] Well now hold on a second he's said he's sorry jeez

The left hates Jeffrey Epstein. And we know why. It's jealousy. They can't stand the fact that on THEIR 50th birthday they didn't get a personal leather-bound book signed by some of society's richest paedophiles.

So long as any government continues to fixate on policies of deterrents, detention and deportation over making it safer and simpler to seek asylum we will see more deaths. Labour's current restrictions on people seeking asylum is only going to increase tragedies like this www.bbc.com/news/article...

this is called "doing a streeting" which is to position yourself firmly on the wrong side of an issue for no reason and to no one's benefit

Farage doesn’t have to be an inevitability folks. We’ve got four years, and I think this is what revitalised hope looks like to me.

The documents also confirm for the first time - long rumoured - that Carrie Johnson held a baby shower at Chequers two days before Johnson put the UK into the first national lockdown and when he had already warned there would be severe loss of life www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Looking for advice, and hoping people aren't going to be weird about it

ChatGPT was only pretending to write a book? Wow, it really is human.

The world would be depressing anyway at the moment, but there is something peculiarly crushing in being on a bus that's heading straight for a cliff and everyone screaming to change direction and the guy at the wheel maintaining that only he knows how to save everyone and it's definitely this way.

Nadine Dorries joining Reform isn’t a shock. It’s logical for a politics of cruelty, corruption, and the collapse of neoliberalism. The rise of Reform is the fault of a failing Labour Government & their vapid politics. We're growing the alternative. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Found guilty, and as such should rightly face the consequences under the law. At no point should the conviction be an excuse for further dehumanisation of, and attacks against, asylum seekers. All asylum seekers are not to blame for the actions of an individual. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

This is a rough watch. God above. What is HAPPENING? Obviously the people here are pricks, but the far worse bastards are the people who have spent years encouraging and emboldening them. The press have a lot to answer for.

Graham Linehan once took issue with a sketch I did and tweeted about me referring to me not by name but only as to who my boyfriend was and called me an NPC ( non player character.) It was misogynistic and his “standing up for women” schtick is baloney.

Tortoises during climax:

Though previous interventions by historical figures against the far right during dangerous moments in history had been staunch, all were surpassed by the “I like flags” tweet

every time you crank one out without showing ID a child dies 😞

there's this, there's people harassing scouts, there's the guy suspended from his job after videos were uploaded claiming he was with kids who aren't his own (his grandchildren), there's loads of others. meanwhile i just saw a labour person saying they "recognise concerns from local people"

think that if "we must debate the fascists not no-platform them!" is your view then we have probably reached the stage, globally, where you may wish to wonder if your preferred way of doing things is actually working

No.

Starmer is the kind of guy who’d watch someone choke to death because the polls said Reform voters think the Heimlich manoeuvre sounds both German AND French

God, the number of people who were willing to believe that the South Yorkshire police were too woke to prosecute sexual abuse cases, when in fact the police force was itself an instrument of patriarchal sexual violence. It’s like a case study in the worst excesses of the British press.

Really struggle with the idea that recognising Palestine is being treated like a way to try and moderate Israel's conduct - the diplomatic equivalent of a threat to send a naughty child to bed early if they don't behave properly - rather than the inalienable right of an entire nation of people.

sure sounds a lot like "if you try to photograph evidence of our war crimes we will commit more war crimes"
