Farage saying that Ann Widdecombe "would not have harmed a fly" is a cynical lie designed to airbrush the vast structures of social murder in which she participated and advanced. I'm reminded of Himmler being personally nauseated by witnessing the aftermath of the Einsatzgruppen.

The ruling-class will gleefully socially murder hundreds of thousands with austerity, will bomb countless millions in foreign wars, will keep billions in penury and poverty - and yet, they have the temerity to demand we grieve for their weird little bigots. Not today.

If, for example, it had been Arthur Scargill who had been murdered, there would be wall-to-wall jubilation on every TV screen, in every newspaper, on every social media feed in the land. I will celebrate the deaths of our class enemies, just as they dance on the graves of workers.

It can't have been, he was with me the whole time.

We're going to materially assist in the murder of tens of thousands of Palestinian children, and then say sorry. This sets the tone for Burnham's drearily inevitable premiership: damp apologetic fascist exterminationism.

The brutal truth about disability benefits is that they are the most direct economic stimulus possible. We have no choice but to spend it, usually in local businesses. We don't hoard it, like bankers and investors. Government knows this. Welfare reform is economically illiterate self-sabotage.

Calling Ann Widdecombe a "Brexit-backing, animal-loving Strictly star" (per BBC) is like calling Hitler a 'underappreciated Austrian landscape painter'.

Ann Widdecombe was one of the most regressive people in modern politics - an enthusiastic supporter of Section 28, a climate change denier, an alternative medicine crank. An absolute dinosaur. And like the dinosaurs, she is rapidly becoming part of the local geology.

The problem with treating fascists solely and exclusively as an object of humour is that you laugh at them and then they put you in a concentration camp. Laughing at them is the *prerequisite* to fighting them, not a wholly sufficient substitution for it.

Dawn Foster truly was the Last Good Journalist. Literally nobody in the years since her passing has taken up her mantle of fearlessly speaking truth to power. Dawn Foster Forever ✊

There is a meaningful difference between Reform and Restore. Reform appear to be an authoritarian neoliberal party that largely subsists off Putin's teat. Restore appear to be a unapologetically fascist party that largely subsists off Elon's teat. They must both be acquainted with the pavement.

Rupert Lowe has been on the Joe Rogan Podcast, in case you're wondering whether the techbro-adjacent milieu were in fact merely shy Nazis.

Feels hotter today than when it was up in the late 30°s. Less breeze? Higher humidity? Idk but I hate it!

Just made a monstrous Greek wrap with chicken, halloumi, olives, salad and shitloads of tzatziki. Mediterranean climate is all the excuse I need.

Those accounts that purport to be from a pet and that speak in baby-talk / pseudo-l33t-speak? Extremely bad vibes. Very cursed.

Andy Burnham staving off leadership challenges by stocking up his Cabinet to the brim with back-stabbers so ambitious that they would make Brutus look positively loyal will turn out to be a mistake of Corbynesque proportions.

Peach rings. That is the tweet.

Baron Binjuice is standing I see.

The problem with liberals is they think that Captain Bintwat is able to single-handedly defeat fascism by making them look silly. If the worst Hitler had to put up with was standing against a satirical candidate, then he would be laughing all the way to the (burning) Reichstag.

Firstly - he's not standing unopposed, that insufferable bin-headed centrist is standing. Secondly, placing the great hopes for the defeat of British fascism on a Parliamentary subcommittee doing the morally correct things is inviting complete disaster.

Ah yes I'm fighting fascism by *checks notes* allowing a national fascist leader to stand unopposed in his seat so that he can continue to maintain grip on his personal fiefdom. Ignoring them might have worked 25 years ago. It's too late now. They must be fought.

It's an individual decision whether you continue to socialise with (or even organise with) someone who had a questionable past in the military, maybe got some regrettable tattoos, clearly mistreated women... But no way in a hell should that person be a *Senator*. That shit is disqualifying.

Wait, you're telling me the guy who claimed he got an SS Totenkopf tattoo because he was a military history buff has turned out to have an unsavoury past with women? Tell me it ain't so! (This was all incredibly avoidable - find non-rapist candidates to say the extremely basic good things please.)

Very much enjoying Haaland's seemingly unbeatable strategy of ambling about aimlessly until everyone else seems to forget he's playing football, and then suddenly perking up, being exactly in the right spot completely unmarked, and belting it home. 10/10 shithouse Sunday league football, love it

Only one other player has avoided the one-match suspension for receiving a red card - in 1962, Brazil's Garrincha avoided the then-non-mandatory application of the ban after his country's President leant on FIFA (plus the application of a judicious $10,000 bribe). It was wrong then, it's wrong now.

I for one am shocked that the institution that invented a peace price out of whole cloth for a head of state would allow that same head of state to compromise a refereeing decision.

Ah yes famously people who identified with the hammer and sickle, both non-specific symbols that don't have anything in particular to do with work, weren't at all interested in working conditions.

If I was a LibDem peer I'm not sure I'd want to cast the first stone about starving children.

You're making me get my SS uniform out of the wardrobe! Don't make me do it! It'll be your fault if you tell me my opinions are bad and leave me no choice but to become a goose-stepping Nazi!

The thing which the entire political class is united upon, to the point of instant reflex, is hatred of children. Closing youth centres, banning social media, criminalising them for acts of boredom, brutally policing their bathroom usage - this will be the source of future anthropological analysis.

Starmer's interviews are grotesque. A man who has only failed upward because he has been willing to compromise utterly with the fascistic Founts of Power, whilst performing dull managerialism and in-group signaling bigotry. Turns out you can get away with that at the CPS. Doesn't work as PM.

Jortes seems to have found the one useful thing graphs are for. I really hope this isn't the beginning of a Jo Maugham-style redemption arc, because that would be deeply upsetting.

Remember Your Party? Lol.

And the endless revolving door of Jobs For The Boys revolves again...

Subscription-based ownership is the extension of commodity relations into the 4th dimension. Permanent ownership is a barrier to limitless accumulation of capital. If ownership can be time limited, and even better, regularly re-bought, then the 4th dimension itself can be overcome.

Lots of chatter that Burnham is set to review the NHS's contract with Palantir, as well as the UK's AI strategy in general. This would be incredibly low-hanging fruit. If he cannot manage to do even this (eg if Streeting is put back in Health Sec post), then his ambitions must be truly rock bottom.

Incredibly sinister vibes keeping the pubs open til 5am, for football fans (a notoriously temperate crowd), in an atmosphere of razor-sharp racial tensions. We had literal race pogroms a fortnight ago. They burned down a whole street. Starmer (and Labour) is indifferent. Let the beer flow!

Those Union Flags have been up for the best part of a year now, and most of them round my ends are little more than coloured scraps of pink, white and powder-blue faded polyester. What do you reckon is the chances of replacing them with trans flags, and how long would it take the gammons to notice?

"I run my papers purely for the purpose of making propaganda, and with no other object." - Max Aitken, 1st Baron Beaverbrook, proprietor of The Daily Express, testifying before the Royal Commission on the Press 1947

McSweeney casually admitting here what they spent eighteen months denying whilst he was in government: that in fact, they did know that Mandelson was a close personal confidant of Epstein, and they appointed him anyway. They knew. They all knew. The Labour Party must fall.

I mean, really, this is all just a game to them. Oops, forgot to do even cursory planning for running the country. Too busy spending four years fighting a relentless war against our own activist base. Sorry.

Our current dirge is musically, politically and spiritually woeful. Should have been abolished decades ago (along with the monarchy). Jerusalem is at least a better tune, and broadly anti-nationalist, anti-capitalist and campaigning for a better society in theme.

In an insulated, authoritarian party such as Labour, horrible proclivities towards abusive behaviour are not disqualifying. Rather, they are positive qualities, selected by more senior abusers (eg Mandelson), to give party whips kompromat with which to compel obedience. The Labour Party must burn.

Transphobes: Well, you can tell by the way they use their walk

Even if that study is reproducible (which is suspect on its face - did they include trans / intersex people in the study, etc), we don't identify sex from mugshots IRL. Although this does smell like a serious attempt to lay the groundwork for passport photo scanners in the toilets. Normal Island.

The same authoritarians who delude themselves that you stop drug use by banning drugs, also argue that you can end people smuggling by banning smugglers. This does not work - but they know this. State bans enable overpolicing and brutality, which can be wielded against outgroups. That's the point.

If you are shown a notorious people-smuggler on the BBC and you're being guided to think that refugees / asylum seekers are bad (rather than the need for safe routes to undercut the trade and closer international cooperation to keep migrants safe), then it's not really about his occupation, is it?

Honestly, tough choice.

Morally, there is very very little difference between a 'Chechen stormtrooper coming down the street and raping women', and an authoritarian neoliberal wielding the threat of the former to socially murder the poor, disabled and vulnerable. Both are determined enemies of our class.

Ultimately, in the minds of Telegraph columnists and their slackjawed readers, Shabana Mahmood cannot be a loyal authoritarian defender of the status quo because she is brown. No other loyalty is possible, say these apartheid-fan white-nationalists, than one's race. Nazis would blush at this stuff.
