Vote Labour

Take the wedding rings? Gold fillings? Does this remind anyone of anything?

To suggest that having lived a life so grim that even an English tribunal will grant you asylum, and to have somehow managed to get here at great risk to life, is a "golden ticket" is absolutely fucking contemptible. Shame on this so-called Labour Party.

Watching a number of Labour supporters defend Mahmood and this government over their sickening anti-immigration/asylum rhetoric when they would have been hollering against it if it was the Tories or Reform saying it. It doesn't matter which party it is doing this, it should be condemned. 1/

Hugely concerning that govt is considering slashing funding for desperately needed home insulation to cut bills in the short term. It’s vital to protect the Warm Homes Plan for long term investment to fix poor housing. Why not use a wealth tax to cut energy bills instead, Rachel?

Nigel Farage currently railing against Parliament being full of "professional politicians". He founded UKIP in 1993 and was first elected as an MEP in 1999, twenty-six years ago. Less than 5% of current MPs (31 to be precise) have a longer career in politics than Farage. ~AA

Zero cutting edge today, city frankly very poor in transition

@9320pod.bsky.social hi, is there an issue with the Apple feed don’t seem to have access to the last few pods

🚨*𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗘𝗧𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘*🚨 📘To celebrate the release of a great new City book, author @domfarrell.bsky.social is giving away two copies of Glory Days for the Waifs and Strays. One on X, one on Bluesky. To enter, ensure you are following us and Dom, and repost this message Good luck!

Harry Eccles I think that @BBCNews , @SkyNews @ITVNewsPolitics and @Channel4News should all be reporting on Reform UK and Russian bribery. RT if you agree!! Why are the media ignoring such a blatant story?!

1/ This speech made by Farage in September 2014, after Russia's first invasion of Ukraine, is a stream of Russian propaganda lies that could have come from Lavrov's mouth.

Interesting - not least on what the media considers not to be a story.

It's even more extreme at more mid latitudes, as initially covered:

🇬🇧👀🇺🇸 UK ready for Trump visit!

COME ON CITY

Trevor Phillips starts his program on @news.sky.com by stating that yesterday’s far right racism rally was all jolly japes and a lovely day out. We are doomed as a country if our media landscape is this far right

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA is an extremist hate group. Its primary strategy is “sowing and exploiting fear that white Christian supremacy is under attack by nefarious actors, including immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community and civil rights activists.”

So today I have realised that @news.sky.com are just a mouthpiece for reform it’s not a serious news channel. This debate has been an utter disgrace and everyone should be ashamed

Good grief I am astounded at the stupidity of the audience questioning (save for one sensible one so far) third question is more right wing bullshit about taxpayers money, @news.sky.com also seem to be going out of the way to voice the reform wing nut yet stop any other people

My god the first question on the @news.sky.com debate is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard and the labour minister and rest of the panel all agree, and Phillips keep spinning the myth about safe countries utter utter joke. This is just a racist dog whistle of a program

It does appear that the entire premise of tonight’s immigration debate on @news.sky.com is the premise that they want to encourage racism and hatred of minorities and migrants. They are fully pushing the far right agenda no real opposition no other point of view.

Five years ago all this stuff about Trump's serial abuse came up. Women who had been minors at the time told their stories. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020...

Listening to healey on #skynews speaking to Trevor Phillips is really depressing, labour has ceased to have any centre or left relevance

Nadine Dorries has joined Reform UK. This is what Nigel Farage thinks of her.

The top five most frequent non-politicians on BBC Question Time all write for a single rightwing paper And this was from last year

I say this every week but the analysis of the brighton mess by @ahsannaeem.bsky.social and Bailey is superb. This podcast is a must for all city fans

This bit in the Guardian's mini profile of No 10 comms director Tim Allen is important - you can't solve strategic comms issues in 2025 with an approach that worked in the 2000s, much less the 90s.

A year into government, Labour partnering with private capital indicates abandoned principles and prioritisation of corporate interests Cleisthenes’ Disciple northwestbylines.co.uk/politics/opi...

Somebody needs to remind Kemi Badenoch that the state no longer has control over North Sea oil and gas exploration, because her heroine Thatcher privatised Tony Benn's British National Oil Corporation

*𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦𝗟𝗘𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥*🚨 ✒️ A bonus newsletter. And a stream of consciousness about where City are right now. Maybe. Possibly. 🌟RTs welcome (if you agree) ➡️ 9320-newsletter-b2f7c6.beehiiv.com/p/the-93-20-... 🌟Subscribe to the newsletter... ➡️ ninetythreetwenty.com/the-9320-new...

rather looking forward to the next @9320pod.bsky.social as it will do my screaming fury for me

"...These are billionaires planning for radical change to benefit the mega-rich. They are talking rubbish and gaining control of governments and the media. They are simply the ridiculous right..." Hear! Hear!

So it seems all of the issues city had last year are still very much there. The next few games are going to be grim

To call this defeat demoralising is an understatement

Silva rolling back the years and playing just as bad as last season

Embarrassing from city, completely bullied out of the game and look terrified of spurs.

The city match day feed is messed up sound wise, sounds like somebody has patched the talkback feed though to broadcast

Barclays joins FTSE 100 peers in warning against bank tax hike. They all welcome corporate bailouts, subsidies; publicly funded infrastructure, low wages for workers; deregulation; erosion of worker/consumer rights; soaring exec pay. Corporate demands disguised as govt policy. It is class war.

32. Blackadder explains the outbreak of the First World War better than many historians

This is life in private healthcare, this is what they are trying to do to the nhs. I wouldn’t be here if we had no nhs,

Disgraceful! Just when you thought the private water bosses couldn't get any worse! They are enriching themselves with the bailout loan meant to stabilise the company. We need to kick out these leeches for good! The ONLY solution is public ownership.

oddest moment of my life last night when I realised one of the hosts of (possibly) my favourite podcast that I have listened to for years was once a house mate and it never clicked with me in all the time I have listened to it.

Such awful news about Diogo Jota, we look at these players like they are indistriuctable machines and forget the fragility of life. My deepest sympathies to his family and to any family suffering loss.

“Above all, I wanted to trace the rise of the thing that has destroyed the confidence of our age: distrust – not just of those in power, and of “truth”, but of everything and everyone around us and, ultimately, of ourselves.”

And on it goes. Israeli politicians using UK media to stoke up outrage around Bob Vylan & Kneecap must be laughing their heads off at how easy it all is. I think this brings the Palestinian death toll *since the Glastonbury performance* in to triple figures. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This, just this

🤔 #FreePalestine 🇵🇸
