ICE are America’s version of the Sturmabteilung

Obviously Labour voters have forgotten about the six years of austerity before Brexit

Last year the country borrowed £146 billion pounds. I’m not to sure what people expect? Because there are no easy solutions. Only tough choices.

Last year the country spent £110 billion on interest payments on the national debt. That’s more than we spent on Education & Defence combinded. Perhaps Labour voters need a reality check on how absolutely fucked we are as a nation.

Concerning …

Four years away from a General Election & YouGov somehow know how people will vote.

‘Destroying the Labour party’ also known as delivering the largest Labour majority in generations. Also

The sheer hypocrisy of this. You have to "show your papers" to vote in a general election. I have to "show my papers" to examine a PhD thesis. I can't sing evensong down the road without "showing my papers". The Mail backed all these Tory changes. But suddenly Labour is turning us into Stasiland

Is it "move to Dubai"?

Been teaching seminars this week on whether polling should be banned during campaigns and after this I think maybe it should be banned except for during campaigns. Utterly mad way to frame a poll 4 years out from a general election.

Real post on another network:

Coming to America in 2026 - Putin style ‘democracy’

Someone ought to break it to Sam Coates that the next General Election isn’t until 2029.

Estonia, Singapore, India. Sweden, Belgium, Denmark and the Netherlands all have digital ID cards. And guess what. None of them face threats to their democracy or freedoms.

The former leader of Reform UK in Wales, Nathan Gill, has pleaded guilty to eight bribery charges while being an elected member of the European Parliament. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

A close ally of Nigel Farage has said Bolshevik revolutionaries who killed Russian intellectuals “had a point”, called for the abolition of several UK regulators, and defended Liz Truss’s chaotic “mini” Budget www.ft.com/content/76a4...

I am old enough to remember 10 years ago when Andy Burnham was last running for the Labour leadership, abstained on the vote on the Conservative Party Welfare Bill that imposed the two-child benefit limit...

I think my afternoon is just about to get a lot better

What's the difference between Andy Burnham and a chameleon? A chameleon changes its colours to blend in, while Andy Burnham changes his views to become the leader.

Hahahaha! newsthump.com/2025/09/25/r...

Last year the country borrowed £146 billion pounds. Andy Burnham is the Labour party’s answer to Liz Truss - economically illiteracy combined with a Machiavellian desire for power. The Labour Party would be best suited by ignoring him completely

Andy Burnham 🤝 Liz Truss

Where the MPs Richard Burgeon, Clive Lewis & Diane Abbott?

A bit sick of Labour politicians appearing in the right wing hate-press in order to further their short term ambitions.

The King of the North here. I’ve heard Sadiq Khan savage Farage and Reform over repatriation. I’ve seen a number of Labour MPs do it too. If Burnham has done it, he’s done it very quietly.

Andy Burnham Conservative Central Office’s man in the Labour Party.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Johnson also kicking off against Farage.

For those that think the swan-eating bollocks is new, here’s a story about it from 2003. The debunking has happened many times over the decades. www.theguardian.com/media/2003/d...

The logical culmination of Gove’s ‘we don’t trust experts’. Now it’s ’we don’t know anything’.

The only way to stop a Farage government is my voting for the candidate that can beat Reform, and that’s either a Labour or LibDem candidate

The simple fact is that if you want to stop Reform deporting your family, friends and neighbours, while sending Afghan women into slavery, selling off the NHS and dismantling democracy, in most constituencies you will need to vote Labour.

NEW: Ed Martin, the head of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) vague weaponization task force, in a recent letter threatened to open a criminal investigation into a now-retired FBI special agent who sued the far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones over Jones’ lies about a mass school shooting.

Trump is a liar

Starmer ought to ignore Burnham & others who wish to tear up Labour unity at a time when we need a Labour government more than others. Labour has to concentrate on the real enemy - Farage, Reform & his billionaire tax avoiding backers.

The worrying thing about today’s politics is that those on the left boosting Farage in order to ‘own’ Starmer aren’t the ones that will pay the price if Farage wins. It’s going to be people like me who pay the price.

Kushal Sureka and wife Preety, moved to UK January 2020 to work as chartered accountants. In past 5 years they paid £100,000 in tax (Farage & Tice used tax havens to avoid paying UK tax) contributing to society & have indefinite leave to stay They’re more valuable than 2 tax dodging millionaires🤷🏼‍♂️

Badenoch has finally found a hard line between the Conservatives and Farage.

I hope Australia tells Musk to keep his nose out of Australian politics

Bandying around the word ‘traitor’ makes these people no different to the Farage right.

Labour need to introduce this to all UK based social media posts

How many times does this shite have to get debunked?

We’re only a few steps away from Farage claiming immigrants are eating people’s pets. It’s deeply xenophobic stuff being pushed by the same people who propelled Trump into office.

The original story Farage claptrapped about on air this morning was from the Sun more than 20 years ago (they subsequently had to retract and apologise). They’ve now run it again, off the back of Farage’s comments. It’s a self perpetuating circle of xenophobic gubbins.

Four alleged survivors of sexual abuse by Andrew Tate have complained to the press regulator about an interview with the self-proclaimed misogynist influencer and his brother in the Spectator magazine. www.theguardian.com/news/2025/se...

Nationalists, whether it’s the SNP flavour or the Reform flavour, is always built on a bed of lies, misinformation and false grievance

Andy Burnham is only interested in promoting and furthering the political career of Andy Burnham

This is just getting embarrassing
