Me striding into the chiller aisle in search of reduced cream buns in Somerfields c. 1997

John Brown was absolutely unqualifiedly correct, utterly vindicated by history, and puts in a deeply uncomfortable light all who claim to oppose oppression from positions of comfort and privilege.

Can't believe we're doing this again but: The Hatzola ambulance attack was not a false flag. Antisemitic hate crime is a huge problem in the UK (as are others forms of hate crime). British Jews deserve our protection from the blowback generated by the crimes of the Israeli settler state.

The EHRC guidance doesn't create any powers to inspect documents / determine gender. If someone tells you what gender they are, the guidance instructs you *must* believe them. But this is pretty transparently designed to result in extra-legal stochastic harassment - against trans & cis women both!

Looks like the Daily Mail barged into a community centre for adults with learning difficulties in order to 'gotcha' Andy Burnham during his visit there. Generally, doorstepping politicians is fair game, but in a setting with vulnerable service users? Scummy behaviour.

The fundamental lie at the heart of British politics is that the results of 'immigration' (degraded services, low wages, social declinism etc) are not *caused* by immigration - they're caused by the rampant neoliberal elite. Any leader not willing to engage with this fact will be crushed by events.

Even the Nazi high command had the squeamishness of their own crimes to not publicise propaganda films of them swaggering through torture camps, taunting these people's grandparents. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Will Ofcom make them do anything about it? Oh well, if they say they'll do more about child grooming, then that's fine. The rest of the open antisemitism, child-targeted Manosphere poison, disordered eating content etc can all stay up then. Expropriate these awful companies.

People wondering who's going to be the next Large Collaborationist Oaf after Fetterman hangs up his jorts, and little do you know, he's been staring us all in the face this whole time: Graham Platner. You heard it here first.

The defining characteristic of the liberal is that they are constitutionally incapable of learning anything.

It's interesting to see the Trump administration have to re-learn how to build legitimacy for an invasion in real time. Last time felt a little bit too embarrassingly naked, did it? www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cz...

The dead hand of Mandelson/Epstein will never release its grip! To the bottom of the ocean with those polling numbers!

There's something deeply Orwellian about the manner in which anticommunist liberal commentators couch their far-right centrism as 'just asking questions', 'just noticing', etc - as if these aren't inherently subjective, politically contested, deliberately chosen means of influencing reality.

How deluded and entitled do you have to be to expect - nay, *demand* - that a party against whom you hired attack vans with slurs saying they intended to give crack to toddlers in playgrounds and sell children into prostitution, stand down to allow you to shuffle largely identical leaders?

Feel like pure shit just want the Trevor Bastard Extended Universe back

Unless you've done years worth of expert consultation and can present me with a public referendum that you have personally conducted by door-knocking everyone in the UK, I'm afraid you will be torn apart by the tabloids and I will have no choice but to remain an implacable enemy of PR x

This is what it's all about, really. What other function of a state is there beyond giving young people the best possible start in life? Neolib Labour has failed utterly. 'The sins of the father are to be laid upon the children' - even Shakespeare knew this moral crime was wrong 400 years ago.

We shouldn't lionize the post-war Labour Party - frequently it inflicted great misery, especially in our crumbling colonies - but I wonder what it would be like to share a pint of bitter/glass of sherry with Nye Bevan/Clem Attlee, and what they'd think of the charlatans who now trade in their name.

The new political compass: Thinks things are great / are cunts: Labour; Tories Thinks things are great / aren't cunts: LibDems Thinks things are shit / are cunts: Reform Thinks things are shit / aren't cunts: Greens

Pointing to the problem - which is the most obvious thing in the entire universe - is a billion miles away from proposing sufficient solutions - which is itself another billion miles away from *implementing* sufficient solutions. Starmerism with Burnhamite characteristics.

Calling it now: Burnham's toast. This whole ridiculous adventure will have been for nothing.

Literally the Founding Fathers would have barricaded the doors of Congress and called out the artillery if there were this many theists in one place.

Literally didn't even have to wait 24 hours. Scenes.

Let's not forget that every Labour leadership candidate is to some extent a Continuity Mandelson/Epstein candidate - but Wes Streeting represents by far the shortest link. The guy used to have a regular weekly supper club with the Prince of Darkness, and shared a gushing private WhatsApp with him.

The way that the Labour government have blown through all of the advice and restraint of even the most conservative punitive institutions of state with wild anticommunist abandon is quite astonishing.

I don't know who needs to hear this but: You're not getting electoral reform. Interests are simply too entrenched to permit any governing party to actually implement PR. The only thing capable of saving the system is made impossible by the system itself. Thererfore, the system must be destroyed.

Future historians will see that one of the long-term consequences of Brexit will be the fragmentation of the UK: the acceleration of Westminster decline, the isolation of Northern Ireland (leading to Irish reunification), and the impossibility of regional representation in FPTP. Balkanize Britain!

This is almost exactly what Starmer promised in 2020. This is what Labour is: a husk for careerists to funnel cash into their maws. The promises of a return to extremely mild social democracy are merely cynical means to an end.

Wow! The wallet inspector has come back, just like he promised he would! Sir! Sir! Do me first!

Landmark discrimination ruling in Australia that extends gender identity protections to trans people. Right-wing Liberal leader vows to reverse it with legislation if elected. (Side note: the case is actually called, rather brilliantly, Giggle v Tickle)

Control of bodily functions is a particularly English symptom of emerging fascism. This and the obsession about which bathroom people are allowed to use, are extreme totalitarian impulses which demand that the state invades even the most private aspects of human existence. Destroy this thinking.

It's wild that we're going to suspend the whole business of state for 3 months whilst the Labour Party tries to jump through a series of arcane hoops in order to crown some random junior minister from 20 years ago. Neo-New Labour was dead on arrival, and has somehow gotten even more moribund since.

Hark! The King of the North approaches! His glorious, unvanquishable army crests the hill! His sword glows with truth! His shield glints with the holy light of moral certainty! Now, if you wouldn't mind laying down your weapons, please, otherwise he's going to lose, and that'll be your fault.

Not content with un-Jewing Polanski, now the establishment are pointing and laughing at him for being in a precarious housing situation - rather than asking, for example, why marginal housing has become such a pervasive problem that it can affect almost anyone including national party leaders.

There's nothing that liberals love more in crises that they have merrily created for themselves than 'national unity'. Nationalising their own shortcomings so they can be plastered over as everyone's problem is very appealing to those who tools to deal with the situation are hopelessly inadequate.

Proof that you can, in fact, take a horse to water, but you can't make it think.

You'll never guess what this is in reply to.

In time, Andy Burnham will come to represent a path not taken for the Labour Party, onto which all wings of the Party can project whatever they wish. It's the same role as John Smith, who would have been by any measure a centre-left post-Kinnock graveyard-compromise candidate at best.

The Greens should stand, and specifically aim to split the vote so Burnham cannot beat Reform. Fuck these transphobic, billionaire-pedo-friendly, migrant scapegoating twisters. The only thing that matters in the foreseeable future is destroying Labour's capacity to govern. Lives will be saved.

There is a certain kind of bottomless ghoulishness on display when simultaneously alleging rapes of women during Oct 7 as an unforgivable war-crime, whilst IDF jailors loudly proclaim their rape of Palestinian prisoners (men, women and children) on daytime TV talk shows to thunderous applause.

The idea that Andy Burnham (one of the blood-soaked butchers of Iraq) becoming PM is some kind of neutral public good is the neoliberal apotheosis of the Blairite project of depoliticisation. He doesn't need anyone paving his way, and he must be contested at every step.

The Labour Right has never had independent vision. From Blair onwards, it was literally only about importing substantive Thatcherism with Labour Party branding. Arguably even before that, Kinnock, etc all the way back to Gaitskill, have just been importing Tory ideas.

Authoritarian states almost always suffer from talent drain, where potential energetic contributors to the regime are demoted / exiled because they are perceived as a threat by the leadership. Then, when succession becomes necessary, crisis ensues. This is absolutely not about current events.

The irony of a paid-up Labour cope ghoul complaining that I would give my PIN number to strangers.

When goth chicks get freckles in summer. (yes it's my gf)

Wouldn't begrudge the Greens steering well clear of the Makerfield by-election.

Pouring one out for Wallace, our frog-shaped draught excluder, who has been product recalled because his sand ballast is contaminated with asbestos. It's like having to put down a beloved pet. Goodnight sweet prince.

Treating the people of Makerfield as pawns in a game to crown the next Prime Minister is frankly wildly insulting. Josh Simons and the Labour insiders have just turned the election into a referendum on the Westminster elite's cosy boys club. This could turn out *spectacularly* badly for them.

Chief of Labour Together (who presided over the pressure group hiring private investigators to bully journalists reporting on their dark money donations) expects the pig people to simply follow the orders of their social betters. Looking forward to the Greens getting another Manchester MP!
