Still blows my mind that Tom “gambling is a hidden epidemic” Watson immediately went to work for Flutter Entertainment (Paddy Power / SkyBet etc) within a year of quitting Labour.

Really bears underscoring: The slobs still complaining about Corbyn have had time-and-a-half to undo the catastrophic, all-encompassing damage he inflicted upon party and country, two of those years in the fucking big chair. They've achieved little, and made much worse. Grade them as you will.

Pointing out continued war in the Ukraine will result in further Ukrainian deaths regardless of the outcome is a "tired old Kremlin talking point" apparently

no the argument against Corbyn was whatever helped the right regain control. enjoy your winnings!

So, do bear in mind that everyone you see squawking in terror about this is very well aware that there was, in fact, an extremely dubious hate campaign and that it was, for real, orchestrated for personal political gain by various insiders.

Funny subplot to this is Tim Shipman having personal beef with Starmer after he posted about Starmer's (alledged) affair and was sued for his troubles.

Under No Circumstances Crew sound off!

"olly robbins and cat little" sounds like something you'd buy overpriced merch for at the scholastic book fair

The reason journalists and politicians are the least trusted professions is because we *know* our lived experiences don't match up with what we're told on a daily basis, unfortunately we also feel powerless to counter those narrative so they continue to spread.

I'm no fan of Keir Starmer but send tweet

Did Claude advise you to try and cool your phone off in the pool?

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics. The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.

You can interpret this way, or you can view it as Keir Starmer picking fights with people outside of the Labour clique who aren’t obligated to roll over and let him do his sad power plays to them, and people relishing in watching an obviously bent, incompetent PM get his nose rubbed in his own shit.

Strictly speaking the bogs are a communal area

It's VERY fitting for Labour HQ to send out Hodge of all people about this specific topic of Mandelson... www.theguardian.com/politics/200...

"The morning after the bombing, synagogue members sifted through rubble and debris, trying to recover what they could: a handful of religious books and three Torah scrolls were pulled from the shattered brick and rebar, but much was lost." www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Keir Starmer drops Baroness Lawrence's name, knowing full well she accused the parliamentary Labour Party of being racist, and knowing full well most people won't remember this. #PMQs www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

You know a scandal is bad when the best excuse you can come up with is "actually the prime minister was just trying to make a pedophile happy."

Mandelson's predecessor, Karen Pierce, enjoyed very good relations with the Trump administration, many of whom were dismayed at her replacement. The suggestion that the situation demanded "an exquisitely crafty political operator" ultimately came from Mandelson himself.

i wasn't using it but it is such unserious site things that access to the Quiet Posters feed, which is part of the functionality the site has advertised on official accounts just broke for 300k people because it runs out of the tech advisor's personal account and he's a thin skinned AI baby

It's also very funny that there are still any Starmtroopers around because you just know if Robbins was saying this stuff about a Tory government they'd be declaring that he should be made PM in a coalition government.

That sound you hear is MLK spinning in his grave, which Mahmood would concrete over if only he was buried in the UK. Absolute chefs kiss that the person she said this about wasn't even white. Phenomenal.

If you ever wondered why the claims of inflation going up don't seem to mesh with your lived reality, it's worth looking at how different things are weighted in their calculations. A lot of people have housing costs of more than 30% of their income, so when rent goes up Inflation doesn't translate.

hey look, Wes Streeting is a massive racist liar

I'm trapped with this half eaten Mars bar that's worth £500, but nobody will buy it. I demand government assistance!

I imagine she would’ve been quite happy to sell if the ridiculousness of the economic climate was still more in her favor, eh?

I know correlation isn't causation but their vote share does seem to rise every time the New Statesman sneers at them as the 'Reform of the Left.'
