I do not believe Angela Rayner should replace Keir Starmer but this is really desperate stuff. Angela Rayner got drunk on Monday. I was waiting for some other bits of gossip but that's it, that's all there is. It's laughable really.

Learn French

Maybe because allegations from school 45 years ago don't carry the same weight as things said and done today.

Labour is doomed unless it learns to love Shabana Mahmood www.independent.co.uk/voices/labou...

The posts are terrible and a swift expulsion from the party and ostracism from polite society should follow. But. This really should not be a police matter. It's quite absurd they are getting involved.

You can, unfortunately, get away with a lot of bigotry and be a viable party for national power. But I don’t think you can be open to positions like this one on crime and be viable.

The number of antisemites this brought out of the woodwork is vile. To be clear, if you think anything Israel does justifies stabbing Jews in Britain, you're the same scum who think 9/11 justifies fire-bombing mosques, or Channel crossings justifies burning asylum hotels.

There's a common argument I'm hearing that the Greens couldn't possibly attract Islamists because they are a "pro queer" party. If you really hate Jews it makes sense to support the biggest mainstream party that aligns with your views on this issue. This shouldn't be hard to understand.

The only thing I would add is that Ion joined the party in February, and was a candidate by April. The Green party appears to think that 'vetting' is when you take your hamster for a check-up.

Zack Polanski shares dozens of posts a day. Likes scores more. He has not shared, or even, I believe, liked, a single one condemning the growing rogues’ gallery of hideous individuals, like this one, standing for his party. Not one.

The Greens were a respectable party two years ago. Now they are very intentionally choosing to embrace the worst of the Corbyn years in pursuit of Polanski's self-absorbed political ambitions. When Polanski said that the antisemitism claims in Labour were manufactured, he actively welcomed this.

Trump cuts in front of Queen Camilla to shake some hands

Watching Apple's Criminal Record, major doubts after first episode confirmed with the second. Everyone competent is a diligent black female and all white characters are racists, corrupt or violent. It's so shallow.

I thought this shit was supposed to be illegal. It says everything about the ineptitude of this government that they're not on it.

A Starmtrooper, bless

"The victims" "Everyone" It's not especially subtle.

Zack is not responsible for many of the disgusting replies below his post but he *is* responsible for ensuring *anyone* who holds those views is driven out of his party. No nuance, no excuses.

Already have friends talking about leaving the UK after today, this attack is in an area at the heart of secular and religious Jewry alike

Of course he's a Fox Killer fan

This really lays bare how antisemitism creeps into opposition to the Israeli government's actions. Refusing to sing with Jews at a benefit to support a Jewish community that was targeted in a horrific, deadly attack is antisemitic.

Can Ed Miliband stans explain how him replacing Keir Starmer addresses this? Or Angela Rayner for that matter?

Only USA does imperialism. Russia became the world's largest country peacefully & anti imperialistically.

When journalists publish critical articles, you can bet that Zack will appear in the replies. Here are three of his likes (now removed) that caught my eye

Is this the sort of thing people want to see on Bluesky? I’ve obviously reported it.

So, to confirm... Zack Polanski himself liked this crap. Cool, cool.

standing ovation after King Charles sings the praises of NATO and says "that same unyielding resolve is needed for the defense of Ukraine"

LOLOLOL

LOL

Not just demanding that someone gets sacked for their speech, but in this case that he's sacked for not psychically predicting an assassination attempt. Not just thoughtcrime but thoughtprecrime. Still, when Bari Weiss and the Free Press find out about this I bet they'll be FURIOUS!

A heartwarming series about socially awkward young people who have never dated mystifyingly adds an aged trans person with kids. I keep forward winding these bits, it's out of kilter with the rest of the show. Are the producers actually secret transphobes? It's the only explanation that makes sense.

Am I the only person on this site that doesn't hate Shabana Mahmood?

I'm not sure Ferguson really believes this, he's more dishonest than stupid and that's what makes him so contemptible.

The replies are insane

Obviously the news from America is important/has global ramifications, but it feels very weird to me that a news story about a car bomb going off in Northern Ireland (a place still part of the UK) was like, four stories down on the BBC news homepage 🫤

My three categories of haters: 1) Culture of life types: “You won’t keep grandma hooked up to machines forever!” 2) Jilted rightoids: “You’re lying.” 3) Yglesias haters: “You represent my gripe that the media is not leftist enough.” I explain each group here. www.richardhanania.com/p/a-typology...

It's telling his jihadist journey began over the Rushdie Affair. If liberals hadn't been as supine in their response I do wonder if the UK's issues with radical Islam wouldn't have been anywhere near as bad over recent decades.

The jihadist and street thug is still raving about Jews controlling everything. Extremely disturbing (as well as absurd) someone like this could hold elected office in the UK. Excellent reporting👇 www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

When my former party today says the left “needs to tone down the rhetoric,” just pull this one out. It’s one of so very, very many.👇

South Korea’s fertility crisis, a warning for the developed world and the radical feminists who shun dating, heterosexual sex and marriage - my report from Seoul on a country selling more prams for dogs than babies www.dailymail.com/news/article...

"The Republican apologist class will go on producing the long, articulate, disqualifying-in-what-sense replies that history will read with the same grim clarity it reads the German conservative intellectuals of 1933" this is very good:

I'm not saying that the UK has massively underinvested in education over the years but it seems that some people are only now finding out what "2" means.

I used to think this manic behaviour was his personality but here it's clearly a cynical obfuscatory tactic to avoid answering any questions. I suspect that was always the case.
