lol, yes so shrill and childish of me to expect my fellow countrymen to oppose aiding the bombing of my family. to aid belligrants in a war of aggression much like russia in ukraine. but then i forget the lives of me and mine are not equal to a ukrainians. how silly to argue otherwise.

Today I tabled a bill which would require any UK military intervention to have a lawful basis, viable objective, and approval by MPs - legislation the PM once said he himself would pass when he was running for Labour leader. He supported it then, and he should support it now.

I suspect it won’t be much more complicated than: various crackpots have been agitating for proper war with Iran for decades and in the Trump White House, they finally found an administration stupid and clueless enough to actually do it.

i've been supporting yanar mohammeds charity for more than a decade. i can't believe she's been killed.

Yanar Mohammed is one of Iraq’s most prominent women’s rights activists and established the country’s first shelters for survivors of domestic violence and trafficking. She was assassinated outside her Baghdad home when two gunmen on motorcycles opened fire in the morning.

Full story:

Today, Yanar Mohammed – one of the most formidable feminist leaders of her generation – was assassinated in her home in Baghdad in what appears to have been a targeted militia attack. Read MADRE's statement:

Devastated to learn that the great Yanar Mohammed, founder of the Organization for Women's Freedom in Iraq, was assassinated today by 'unknown' gunmen in Baghdad. Here in her own words:

Pedro Sanchez continues his run as the only world leader convincingly acting like he cares to defend a rules based world order

The options that the US and Israel have engineered for Iranians are increased repression from the Iranian state or full state collapse. Anyone who thinks liberation is on the other side of these bombs, I don’t know what to tell you.

Yesterday I watched videos of Israeli and US bombs hitting the neighborhoods where my family lives, unable to reach them. The first I hear from them comes today and it’s that they’ve received threatening texts from Iranian intelligence telling them to stay away from “future illegal riots.”

amazing what happens when your country isnt run by islamaphobic sociopaths.

my visa for Spain came in today. so glad to be leaving amoral sociopathic country.

Turns out this is what principled middle powers can do, @mark-carney.bsky.social.

i know this isnt original but her vibes are so comically villainous.

Again, it’s striking how heavily populated the British political/media sphere is with horrifyingly racist far right crackpots with horrendous politics

i really wonder if any of the unions will defect to greens? its unheardoff and yet...

i actually don't think getting rid of starmer will fix things for labour. a party that's got a huge slate of new MPs handpicked by mandelson is not capable of picking a better leader. they couldnt even pick a halfway decent deputy.

we have fptp without primaries. we have multiple parties without pr. we have a public service broadcaster that is behaving like state media. i.e. our liberal democracy is not liberalling or democracing.

the reason so many people on this website were wrong about the green win is cos they've been internet poisoned. all the false equivalences between greens and labour and denial of how shit labour is as a party (not just starmer) is down to group consensus. which is what this site encourages.

I think Labour's vote was boosted by people who didn't believe the Greens could win. In future, if those kinds of people have been persuaded by this, Labour could still have a long way to fall.

Seeing Mamdani win in November was a little taste of what was possible in the Fascism Is Inevitable timeline. The Gorton & Denton result is a big spoonful of tiramisu.

it’s, no joke, the Labour Party’s birthday today

the good news just keeps coming.

for example, there is no large voting block desperate to aid a genocide in gaza. they did that cos they wanted to.

i think whats sad is the commentator class still doesn't get this isnt just "bad electoral strategy". mandelsons labour party are aiming for right wing voters because they *are* right wing and want to do right wing things. lol. its not that complicated.

even when the left fucks off elsewhere they claim their votes as theirs.

the party of losers

I mean, it really is a victory of analysis for the Some Dickhead On The Internet tendency over the PolProf and Columnist class.

genuinely, just so happy.

Can I just gently point out that even the most optimistic polling underestimated Green support by about 10%.

Here’s a photo of a racist prick losing and a good morning to everyone

Yesssss. Get in Gorton and Denton you beauties!

real hope for the next general election.

BREAKING: A wonderful speech from Green Party's Hannah Spencer after winning the Gorton and Denton by-election. Congratulations!

more confident of this vibes based end of 2026 polling prediction

ah maybe sunak was right, maths education is a real issue in this country 🙃🙃🙃

the not-labour, not-reform vote has reached england.

dream result. a green win, reform lose and labour coming in third.

vibes based predicting ftw 🤷🏻‍♀️

the curse has been lifted

Introducing Hannah Spencer MP 💚

this platform much like twitter is real time brainwashing machine.

🎻

Isn’t Labour breaking electoral law by doing this?

We shouldn’t have to vote tactically. We shouldn’t have to painstakingly analyse small sample polls with huge error margins to figure out how to stop our least preferred candidate winning. We shouldn’t have to be bombarded with conflicting party propaganda about who is in front really. It’s madness.
