I mean its a little fuxking weird that the feminist concept of gender equity and abolishing the patriarchy goes smooth tf out the window when its time to call cops- many of whom are violent men with guns and qualified immunity- to put a whore in her place.

If anybody, perhaps overseas, is interested in what's going on in the UK government but only has a surface-level familiarity with the players and want to know who Wes Streeting is, just Google "lickspittle cunt"

okay, now is the last chance

Might be the last chance I have to repost this from ye olde twitter days on here and have it be relevant so fuck it

🚨The pain and suffering in Gaza are indescribable. We are starving & deprived of food&medicine. We live on the filthy sand in a tattered tent. Rodents attack us at night, we cannot sleep. We implore you to donate to us & not leave us alone. $20 is enough to save our lives chuffed.org/project/1580...

What's your Labour Resignation Name? Take your mum's first name, your first pet's name and add 'Ally of West Streeting at the end.'

Terrorist convictions mean you serve your full jail term. You can't travel to another country. The police decide if you get bank accounts, phones and computers and they have open access to all of them. For life. Absolutely insane to secretly use this on kids convicted of criminal damage. Deranged.

It's a bold play, let's see how it goes.

this is an actual Bluesky Rule: if you have ever so much as exchanged a single like, you are required to hold up the book in the shop and say "hey my friend wrote this"

<farting sound>

Often criticise him for not being radical enough. But simultaneously hold the view he has been a very good mayor under the circumstances. The circumstances being extreme racism bordering on bloodlust.

The trouble we have is that the Sensibles cannot acknowledge that this shit is bad, because that opens the door to acknowledging that a lot of other things are bad, and have been bad for years, and specifically that all those things were roared on by said Sensibles at the time.

Be angry with the government but also be angry with all the nice Sensible liberals who get very upset about minor failings of the left but are completely quiet on things like this and the entire Establishment wanting to unleash Israeli football hooligans on Birmingham.

No.

You know this opens the door to an incredible amount of grim shit. They know this opens the door to an incredible amount of grim shit. They're rolling the pitch for a Reform government, and they wont just be against people that don't like genocide.

It’s precisely because it is mythologised. In the UK, people of my generation have tended (until recently) to use terms like ‘fascist’ and ‘nazi’ either in a historical context or as hyperbole. People in Europe are much less distanced from the concept of actual fascism

"We worked tirelessly for a decade to ensure this was the only possible ideology available and that these specific politicians were implementing it. That ideology is deeply unpopular and the politicians terrible at their jobs. Why would the public do this?"

Our lad here is out trying to enforce something that the council doesn't give a shit about, presumably because the rules are vague and nobody can be arsed, just to try and whip up a scandal about Polanski. Truly, one of the baldest men around.

Really, are you? You're reminded of the line everyone is settling on to explain why the faction you shitehoused into power is terrible? Gosh. Imagine that.

We've offered these ingrates 5 different flavours of neoliberal slurry and still they aren't satisfied! What's wrong with them?

The ‘ungovernable’ question would seem to imply the Labour Party have exhausted all avenues. So ask yourself – what fucking avenues have they explored?

Mahmoud has listened to same clique of senior Home Office officials who have advised for 30+ years that loud announcements of punitive policies will deter refugees from coming to UK to seek asylum. Labour did this extensively last time. It didn’t work. A history thread. +

Why does the UK keep inventing these impenetrable and arcane processes for selecting a leader when "Bake Off" already exists.

Stop bullying trans people

Are the people who keep saying that people's complaints about costs are just vibes going to finally SHUT THEIR MOUTHS? The answer is probably not.

ITS ON

I guess I'm glad this is out there, but also I am infuriated that people have to spend their time doing this. OF COURSE synthetic text extruding machines are going to output something that *looks like* but is not an analysis. >>

what's preposterous—& makes labour feel so abject—is they've processed the cultural right as their 'boss' whose desires must be enacted & the left (their own voters) as their underlings who must be whipped into line to accommodate them

Bye bye

This is also why the ‘ungovernable’ line is self-serving swill. We had multiple chances over the past decade to take a different path. Instead, the vipers and entitled slobs the ‘natural’ centrist leader class destroyed any alternative, fucked it themselves, and now conclude it simply can’t be done.

Khalil and Noreen are struggling to raise money this week. If you can, please donate and share.

Yeah I think this is why centrists seem perplexed at why the left hate Labour so much, because they can’t seem to understand that they actually had/have a real chance to do something good and just wasted it being horrible and useless bastards

“Reform is, in fact, a fascist party. They are directly tied to, and in step with, the Trump administration. Their stated plans are to remove all checks and balances, create a British version of ICE, build concentration camps, and deport people” www.liberalcurrents.com/respecting-r...

BREAKING: sources report Andy Burnham seen heading toward Downing St with a bottle of whisky and a revolver. When asked if he was going to encourage Starmer to take the dignified way out he stated that he was "going to get hammered and shoot him".

Oh whew, I can put my worries to rest

Once more, for visibility: "Bullet trains will wipe out short-haul flights."

So much death and destruction and suffering imposed *for nothing*, for old men's dreams of glory and vain ambitions of achieving their Gender. Absolutely bottom tier stuff.

"Starmer is finished as far as the country is concerned. He spent the last six years disassembling Labour's coalition of voters ... However, for reasons of convenience, cowardice, and careerism, the bulk of the PLP are reluctant to move on right now."

Keir Starmer has resigned, that's right, resigned himself to the fact there's a long three years ahead of being prime minister

1) What I think I do 2) What my parents think I do 3) What my wife thinks I do 4) What I really do

I mean it is kind of grim when you have people saying "this multiply sourced report from the New York Times is like the worst of Julius Streicher's propaganda" and like, where's the lie

When i was your age we used to call “briefing against” “bitching about”

I think the funniest outcome from all of this is that the 2024 intake of MPs are going to have to go get real jobs after they lose their seats because no one associated with this shit is going to reap any benefits from the patronage networks.

Keep it up. Make this drag out as long as possible.

The Lab right ran a secret & highly destructive campaign to undermine the party in order to regain control. They then hollowed out the membership, dismantled grass roots activity & purged alternative views. Jones this morning: "The Labour party is at its best when it is united"

it will never occur to any of the great journalists that they have incentivized all of this. I don't even mean ones actively joining in the wrecking, or the general way The Left is treated, I mean every journalist who lets an mp "brief against" another MP anonymously. It is their game, their rules

The thing that sends me into a blind rage about this is that all that's happened over the past decade as a result of these disgusting people is I'm a decade older and things are even shitter. I'll never forgive them for that.

EXCLUSIVE Wes Streeting has driven Sir Keir to a bit of disused dockland to tell him that he has been relieved of his duties.
