One last thing. All those Labour supporters posting pretty infographics about all the achievements, this new proposed policy on refugees is the kind of thing that means those infographics don't make any difference to the polls. One piece of vicious xenophobia drowns it all out.

What is truly pathetic about Labour is that this is all they have got. They have failed so spectacularly already, despite a whacking great majority, to even attempt to govern positively that all they have is punching down on marginalised groups and saying "oh but Reform will be worse".

How anyone can still support this government is beyond me. This is utterly disgraceful.

This is as bad as anything proposed by Reform. Leaving refugees in permanent limbo and unable to build a new life in the UK would be a complete abdication of our humanitarian responsibilities www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Also saw a # Pro Cycling Fan in there too. Playing all the hits

A landlord on the Today programme just described landlords as “a race of people who are being targeted”. Parasites playing as victims.

"It is a masterpiece, a miracle, and quite frankly its 20th anniversary later this year should be a national holiday." And here we are. Unmistakably. 💓Happy 20th🧪

I stood by you through the genocide, the racism and the bashing of the disabled. But making my Sensible Politics look bad? I simply can't condone this.

I mean, this is exactly what @flyingrodent.bsky.social is always saying about the British commentariat. They'll forgive anything except being made to look like the chumps they are.

Well, the rewatch has reached this point... (Very much doubt any British sitcom has done something this funny after 50 previous episodes... probably the best half-hour farce I've seen since Fawlty Towers)

Britain getting it right with a #1 single for once.

Very pleasant surprise for a crappy commute. #TheTenx5 is 10x8 days away tomorrow…

Regurgitating my red-hot swords-guy take... various edits and remixes make this very far from immaculate; stands no comparison with the likes of Discography or Substance.

This man won one of the largest majorities in UK electoral history, is a white guy who was a prosecutor and prior to the election was beloved by basically all sections of the press. The fact he's been unable to use any of this to achieve anything is incredible.

The Thatcherite consensus went kaboom in 2008 and our political/media class will never admit it or permit backsliding, so it has just been the T-1000 thrashing in the molten steel *for 17 years*, trying to find a form that won’t get melted. Unfortunately, there isn’t one. Thus, permanent bullshit.

High end wealth inequality allows for shit like this

#THETWEN2IE5 DAY 37 14. CHAPPELL ROAN 'GOOD LUCK, BABE!' USA 2024 I am in no way comparing Sabrina Carpenter to effing 'Dance Monkey'. Yet, the world stopping at #2 for this song is the biggest "J'accuse" in the UK charts since 'Don't Start Now'. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RKq...

Amused that Trump's lawyers really sent the legal letter to: BBC Television Centre, London W12 8QT. I wonder if they included a self addressed envelope for a reply and called 018118055 to confirm receipt. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/tru...

Dunno man, this sounds like a bunch of comfortables experiencing what it's like to be a pig person for the first time. Being on the left this has been my experience of the poltical media ecosystem my entire life. Centrists & libs have been hosing me in pure unrefined shit for as long as I can recall

Why won't someone think about the poor billionaires???? And the newspapers they own! Join.greenparty.org.uk

This, inter alia, is why the BBC needs to go. "I'm so proud I harmed those kids and that some have committed suicide," basically.

Robyn’s new single “Dopamine” is coming on Wednesday

11 years ago today, Taylor Swift released “Blank Space.”

The 7:30am headlines this morning on the BBC, reporting on BBC impartiality, quoted a former editor of the Sun and a former editor of the Telegraph. So I think we know where this is going.

"wrongly stated". Lied. The word you're looking for is 'lied' The MEN has been a fucking disaster for years. Glad to see some repercussions for once.
