I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

When this goes very badly, and the police end up beating fuck out of Villa fans and Brummies while protecting Maccabi fans, will there be any introspection? No. It'll be a whole fanbase and city declared antisemitic.

The UK Football Policing Unit have issued a pretty damning statement about the Starmer government’s sudden efforts to insert itself into policing football matches

the public just doesn't understand how electable he is

My issue with Corbyn now is related. If Labour offered him the whip back (they won't) he'd take it

As long as she, Burgon and Lewis remain in this toxic autocracy, their words are worthless

When a complicated, modern software system has a beating heart of a 40-year-old mainframe running millions of lines of COBOL, that's what you call a V'ger system architecture.

The fact that this is Tommy Robinson is neither here nor there. It seems like yet another instance of abuse of powers given to Police for "counter-terrorism". Was he credibly suspected of terrorist activities? Or were they just trawling for information? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Line of Booty

This is just plain wrong. Jaw-dropping.

Still not *quite* sure I see the difference between Militant (terrifying, insidious insurgents, few in number, who attempted to capture a major political party) and say, Labour Together, except that the Trotsykites were characteristically useless, and failed

You can argue that Militant didn’t believe in basic democracy (possibly true), but the party of organised labour being recaptured by corporate interests is no less dodgy as fuck, just because those doing it dress smartly and are allowed on the breakfast shows

cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war

Subheading says "Communication must be freed from clickbait", someone didn't get the message

I mean encouraging the bombing of Venezuelans for having the temerity to go out to sea in a boat isn't as much of a blocker on winning the Nobel Peace Prize as bombing multiple countries simultaneously like Obama when he won it, but surely it's still a blocker isn't it?

It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

All I want in life is to persuade everyone, when encountering politics & culture, to ask, "why are we talking about this?" I mean that very literally: anything you encounter on your screens reflects a choice. Someone covered that, talked about that, rather than the many other things out there. Why?

It’s not as fancy, but I got the ceiling painted a lot quicker than Michaelangelo

Whoever books guests for #Newsnight needs their arse kicking

In what kind of country do political journalists withhold very consequential key facts that they all know about politicians, without having to be told they should keep them quiet, only occasionally alluding to things everyone has always known? A very transparent, democratic one, I’m sure.

It's the behind the scenes spats that worry me. All the same old Labour faces doing the same old Labour back room stitch ups. These people love the Labour party and they're trying to recreate one that they happen to be in charge of.

Dawn of the Deadline

This is obviously the death of the rule of law, a key aspect of any democracy. It’s also the final death of the Tories as an ostensibly constitutional party and comfirmation of its move, like the MAGA Republicans, into the unconstitutional far right. 11/

Ah, it's "too many of other people's children are going to university" week again, is it?

Why is it dunderhead Philistines gain such positions of influence?

Nothing says "I want independent judges" like threatening to sack any judge who disagrees with you, while holding up a judge's wig like a puppet

I wonder if it's worth asking the BBC not to show the Ronnie Radford goal in their FA cup coverage this year out of respect for the recently deceased Willie McFaul. #NUFC

This will presumably involve a late amendment to the Police and Crime Bill, currently trundling through the House of Lords. These measures need to be resisted. Every new anti protest law decreases our collective ability to exercise our rights and hold governments and corporations to account

Does NO ONE want to win the next election?

Chelsea now have 6 centre backs unavailable. This is why you buy 10 centre backs.

this conflation of judaism with the actions of the israeli state was gross and antisemitic when they were doing it to hobble corbyn; doing it when israel is conducting a horrific genocide is just beyond morality. it’s unspeakable.

Conflating Jews with Zionism (what people protest against) is not only anti-Semitic even according to IHRA, but is probably what went through the head of the attacker from Manchester as he stabbed Jews to death on Som Kippur. Congratulations Keir Starmer for the dumbest tweet.

I think we can look back to the contents of the Forde Report, because he was quite blunt about what this type of behaviour is.

Imagine there's a data breach in the future (and to be clear, this will definitely happen) and they steal your digital ID. You will be completely screwed. They will effectively be you for all intents and purposes.

Whose horse?

When I opened the email this morning, my first thought reading that sentence was "how on brand." Everyone hates them, they don't care, what matters is enforcing their policies no wants & fuck you

Forgive me, but I thought being a large language model was kind of what you'd been doing for decades

That this man became an MP is a microcosm of all that is wrong with Labour

I loved The Tripods

No, but it's the truth. And you certainly won't stop them by saying they're a grand bunch of lads either.

1) all of the progressive movement is outside of the Labour Party 2) no one should be surprised a member of the establishment is opposed to anti-establishment politics 3) it has been made very clear that the Labour Party is not a vehicle for change. You've made your choices, let us make ours.

"Heathrow, it's me, I'm Cathay"

Liberals: don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good Me: yeah fair ok, show me the good Liberals: this isn't the time for fucking purity tests you little shit

Hold up, hold up. *This* is a key financial backer of the Tony Blair Institute for Change, and the owner of the company in pole position to deal with the UK's digital ID roll-out? RIGHTO. fortune.com/2024/09/17/o...

Newcastle says no to fascism. The far right brought a hundred or so with them, bussed from far and wide. This city turned out 1000s, from local communities, estates and streets. Geordies of all backgrounds coming together and outnumbering the purveyors of hate by some distance. Newcastle united.
