In the end it wasn't even that close, but Burnham has got a massive fight on his hands to win back trust in the Labour Party

This rogue judge thinks he can just make the law up as he goes along, in order to favour Israel and the Starmer government that is complicit in Israel's genocide

The right-wing cover story is that these are "patriots" with "legitimate concerns" about immigration and policing. Their violent behaviour and extensive criminal records demonstrate that they're actually a bunch of violent and dangerous criminals.

Liquidator for one of Bowker's firms: "I have submitted a report on the conduct of the Directors of the Company to the [Govt]...I was not able to fully investigate the affairs of the Company prior to filing the report, as the directors failed to deliver up any Company books and records to me.”

You should read this article, but also check out the sign that's hanging over Kemi's head in the photo. 👌

Loads of people these days use terms like "lefty" and "socialist" as if they’re insults, but in reality it’s good to be on the left, and it’s something to be proud of In this article I go through some of the reasons why

No company should be paying their workers so little that they have to rely on in-work benefits just to make ends meet, while the boss swans around in a mega yacht

Imagine actually believing that poor people struggling at the bottom of the economy are the problem, and not the mega-rich at the top, hoarding ever bigger shares of the overall wealth for themselves!

Reform's new overtime policy is an economically illiterate bin fire. They want to unfairly privilege some workers over others; create Britain's worst tax cliff edge; and actively incentivise millions of workers into becoming tax-fiddlers.

Are these pervs and weirdos really the best Farage can come up with?

Who would have imagined that voting for the "stop the boats" rabble in a landlocked part of West Yorkshire might not have been the wisest move?

Reform's deputy leader Richard Tice is making a bit of a habit of concocting absurd excuses for the assortment of racists; Nazis; and antisemites that Reform worked so hard to get elected.

Should the Greens stand aside in the Burnham by-election?

Look, let's be fair here. Let he who has not received an unlawfully undeclared £5,000,000 gift from a shady Thailand-based crypto billionaire for "security" then immediately gone on a multi-million pound property buying spree, cast the first stone.

This is an extraordinary allegation, and the guy making it (Ben Habib) has openly goaded Farage and Harborne to sue him if it's not true.

They're such a bunch of hypocritical shape-shifting charlatans, with utter contempt for the public.

The guy is fighting to see off a leadership challenge, and he still can't come up with anything more than bland, uninspiring, scripted rubbish to say!

The results are still coming in, but here are some initial points about yesterday's elections

Congratulations to the people of Essex for electing this Reform race-rape celebrator to two different local government positions yesterday!

Why is nobody telling us how Keir Starmer's nepo-niece did in the Croydon safe-seat she was parachuted into?

Labour losing 80%+ of the seats they're defending! 40% to 50% of their voters doing exactly what Starmer told them to, and leaving if they don't like it All time historic pummelling Starmtroopers already insisting that one more push towards the far-right will fix it! Total insanity

Are the Dunts of this world finally waking up to the fact that Starmer, McSweeney, Mandelson, Reeves, Doyle, and the rest of the Labour-right cabal are actually the disgraceful pack of bastards that we said they were all along?

Why are Reform voters so cool with the anti-British behaviour of Nigel Farage and Reform?

A truly spectacular self-awareness fail

Starmer loyalists have already drawn up their Save Our Starmer strategy for when Labour takes an unprecedented electoral hammering in May. It's just as absurd and cynical as you'd expect from this bunch of absolute charlatans.

It's a lot easier to create content if you use genAI to write your stuff for you, and easier still if you don't even bother fact checking the results, but I won't be doing that

It's not April Fool's Day yet. There are actually still some Starmer true believers out there who think he's really popular, and that there's some kind of all encompassing conspiracy between right-wingers, the media, and polling companies to make him look unpopular.

The hypocrisy of the right-wing performative outrage grifters is absolutely off the scale

David Lammy is being deeply deceptive about his plan to erase our historic right to a fair trial by a jury of our peers (in all but the most serious of cases).

Did you see this headline? Did you feel the requisite anger and rage at asylum seekers that The Sun was asking of you? Did you maybe blame Starmer because.... um... it was probably his fault🤷‍♀️ Would you like to know the reality behind the headline? Course you would!😜 Let's take a look 🧵 1/25

According to extraordinary statements from Mark Rubio and Mike Johnson yesterday, the US decided to attack Iran because they knew Israel was going to attack Iran. Apparently US military policy is no longer decided in The White House, Congress, or the Pentagon … it’s decided in Tel Aviv.

The Green Party resoundingly beat Reform in the Gorton and Denton by-election on Thursday, and the Faragist crying, temper tantrums, smears, threats, and conspiracy theories haven't stopped yet.

Maybe Starmer telling Labour's own voters, supporters, and activists to 'eff off if you don't like it' wasn't the big-brain move the Starmtroopers thought it was?

If you don’t want to be called "racist" for talking about immigration, it’s not hard. Just try not to be an ignorant, offensive, lying, hypocritical shit-head when you do it!

The political spectrum in the UK has been driven so far to the right that the Labour Party of today is far to the right of the Tory party before Thatcher came along with her radical agenda of privatisation, financial sector deregulation, and deliberate deindustrialisation.

Nigel Farage says that he wants to cut the price of a pint by 5p, and pay for it by re-imposing economic sanctions on British children for the "crime" of having more than one sibling Farage doesn’t just know his target audience is a bunch of venal idiots, with this policy he’s openly banking on it

It tells you everything you need to know that Reform are parachuting in a rent-an-extremist - this isn't about representing the people of Gorton and Denton, it's about using this place as a platform for their careers. Manchester will show him the door.

If Keir Starmer considered it his job to destroy the Labour Party from within and leave it in an unrecoverable position, he couldn't be doing it much better, could he?

🔴 Last week the Free Speech Union got a High Court writ to prevent the publication of a list of its donors So we decided to investigate who *does* fund Toby Young's outfit Wanna see? 🫣 New on Democracy for Sale: democracyforsale.substack.com/p/who-funds-...

The marriage of convenience between inti-immigrant rabble rousers Reform UK and Iraqi-born former Tory austerity-wrecker Nadhim Zahawi seems quite odd, but it makes sense from a class perspective.

If billionaires, city bankers, and exploitative corporations dramatically increase their wealth and profits at a time of practically zero economic growth, and the government vehemently resists progressive wealth redistribution policies, what happens to the living standards of the ordinary majority?

Interesting data analysis demonstrating what Twitter users already know through experience. Elon Musk has turned it into a extreme-right propaganda factory, where right-wing accounts are boosted by the algorithm, and left-leaning users are flooded with right-wing content, despite not following it.

Which one is more English?

Keir Starmer has finally come out fighting, but not in the interests of ordinary British people. Instead he's intent on sticking up for violent, racist, Israeli football thugs!

It's bad for my mental health

Not even the Guardian-reading “centrist dad” types are prepared to defend Starmer’s self-inflicted Mandelson/Epstein scandal

Establishment elitists are desperate to use culture war tactics to divide us, and distract us from the class war they're beating us at.
