Currently reading this hefty tome by @aptshadow.bsky.social. So far as engrossing as the first three of the series.

Killing human shields is a war crime even if this were true.

yes it can

Tread carefully.

I need new music to listen to.

🤔 Anyone had a right-wing family member, friend, or colleague say "it's just weather" this week...? 🥵

Boomers in the UK talk about the summer of 1976 like they were there when swift-footed Achilles slew Hector, tamer of horses

No he’s a reform head actually.

Heard you dad is really upset about what the media has done to poor Keir.

Time to go to work in the dungeon, might stand in the freezer for my 15 minute break.

This is just true of American cars in general.

My prime sub ended yesterday

Kinda wish I’d been better at A-Level Physics and then went on to study Astrophysics.

Believe lie detector test work should’ve had him imprisoned for life TBH.

I know the word “Queer” is supposed to be like reclaimed and fine now but i still have viscerally negative reaction to it. Like it’s still the bullying word in my mind.

Keir Starmer Resigns Amid ‘Not Being Very Good Prime Minister’ Scandal

Actually this is technically not true it’s 649 MPs who get a vote and the speaker. So if your MP is the speaker you’re unrepresented in parliament effectively.

Nope. Backdoors are hack doors

His Majesty’s Most Loyal Opposition was coined as a derogatory term, it’s not a real thing. It’s, by convention, now the largest party who didn’t form a government. But party politics aren’t a defined characteristic of the system.

I want to change my earrings out for hoops but i don’t know if it’s too soon

Guy at work say socialism never works anywhere. Socialism works everywhere. The things holding back total capitalist annihilation of humanity are socialism.

This is only the beginning. The climate crisis is here. So why are politicians and most of the media still acting as though this can wait? It can't. We can still avoid some of the worst impacts - but only if we find the courage to act. metro.co.uk/2026/06/22/g...

Centrism is a disease

5 Muslim's were injured recently in a racist attack by a man wielding an axe It has barely been mentioned by the MSM A couple of months ago 4 empty ambulances were burned, no one was injured but they talked about it for weeks and had a COBR meeting.

Today marks a historic date in British politics matched only by the time John Major punched the queen.

NuAnCe

The fact that there’s a stupid swearing in ritual in #ukparliament just shows how much of a farce the whole thing is. The first elected individual to walk in and call out the pomp and ceremony as ludicrous will be the first legitimate politician in the country.

That would explain a lot

“There really is a huge reservoir of talent in the parliamentary Labour Party” Tell this bloke to stop drinking from the septic tank.

I campaigned against S28, which was truly awful. As a cis gay man, what we're seeing with the attempt to erase trans people is far worse. 10 years ago we were #1 in ILGA's league, proving your point that things had improved, now were #22. Maybe spare a thought for the trans community.

Goodbye and good riddance to the most anti LGBTQ PM of my lifetime. Lives were ruined for absolutely no benefit, and now an entire marginalised group is going to suffer a generation desperately trying to claw back their hard won rights thanks so him.

Saying Keir Starmer is resigning with grace is such a delusional take. He’s had many moments over his premiership where he could’ve done that and he dogmatically chose to keep going. #labour #ukpolitics #ukprimeminister

Starmer has resigned. But I can't be happy for it. The damage is already done. He and his Israel-shilling centre-right Labour version are responsible for the rise of authoritarianism and the far-right in the UK. He lost the traditional working class to the populist right! Rest in piss! 🤬

“Not power for powers sake” mate you’ve only done authoritarianism. Definitionally power for powers sake.

Whoever replaces Keir Starmer at 10 Downing Street needs to hear the message loud and clear: The UK's democracy is in crisis. A fair, proportional voting system isn't a "nice to have". It's a priority and we need it now.

It seems to have become commonplace to blame net zero for Britain’s high energy bills and/or weak job market… … and I guess I’ll have to explain again why there is very little evidence of this. Britain has plenty of economic problems; net zero is not high on that list (though climate change is) 🧵

A secret third thing

Substantively the worst prime minister this country has had.

In the past 72 hours: 1) An Israeli government official has called for the burning of all of Lebanon including Christian communities and churches 2) An Israeli media figure has suggested that the US should receive a 9/11 terror attack Because they were told "no" once

Only three more centrist pigdog Labour Prime Ministers til Christmas!

turns out being deliberately antagonistic towards the people who elected you in order to court people who would under no circumstances ever vote for you is not smart

At least I live in’t norf and it’s not 30+

It was ready a 2 and half hour movie. There’s more of this in the book.

8 months very swift.

Nothing graceful about 8 months of desperation in clinging on
