oh thank god i no longer have to pretend jimmy kimmel is funny for democracy reasons

what’s the last thing you read (or i guess listened to) that made you think significantly differently about something? i want some recommendations to broaden worldview a bit

this country is so over

oh well I’m sure everything will be fine in the end

yeah so tbh i was sceptical but if you want a left party it’s the greens isn’t it?

any labour person operating under the misapprehension that he can stay in post is deluding themselves or is actively conspiring for a farage premiership

he’s got to go

huge huge response already to our rally for paul ovenden next weekend. remember to bring your own resignation letters for the mass tearing up of them when we arrive outside parliament to show starmer what he should have done.

Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, says UN inquiry

why did the press not report on the paul ovenden emails when they found out about them?

They have zero understanding of anything like that, as I've said elsewhere, I worked with these people during this period and this isn't even the worst I've heard. They've never had a real job nor do they have the ability to see anything wrong with their behaviour.

these were the comments. you’d be sacked for these in literally any normal job. these people have a huge internal culture issue

if people had taken the Forde report seriously, people like that might have been far away from positions of responsibility and we wouldn’t be in this mess!

there’s a huge culture problem on the labour right. willing to overlook the unsuitability of a notorious paedophile and sex trafficker’s best pal because of his position as a leading force in their faction, disgusting exchanges in emails and whatsapp repeatedly revealed. endemic

starmer’s “phase two” is kind of gross t.co/rJ9zKqmBTE

Many shocking things about the last 24 hours; but the contrast between the Labour government’s response to peaceful protest against genocide, and its non-response to violent racist protest against liberal democracy, is high on the list.

is this the only government comment so far? nobody should ever put any faith in any of these people again 👍

Shot, chaser Young men more likely to vote Green than Reform. Young men second most progressive group of any demographic. Combined right-wing vote barely bigger than Green vote alone for young men

fucking hell

doesn’t seem ideal!

he appointed and defended mandelson? it is his judgement that caused this! www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

fucking hell! they all need to go www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

a govt spokesperson accusing neil kinnock of supporting terrorism is going to be some amazing scenes

Clive Lewis the first to go over the top

amongst all this on mandelson, interesting the extent to which reform are basically silent. yank farage is trump’s puppet!

STARMER: hey I'm appointing this close friend of the world's most notorious paedophile to be US ambassador :) BRITISH PRESS: ok :) [One year later] BRITISH PRESS: wait a minute

When Boris Johnson overrode security service advice in order to give Evgeny Lebedev a peerage, Keir Starmer (rightly) demanded a full investigation. Now we learn Starmer did exactly the same thing with Peter Mandelson. news.sky.com/story/no-10-...

oh its so over www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

mr rules, captain sensible, he can run a meeting, the grown ups are back in the room… it all falls apart if you appoint the notorious paedophile’s best pal to a senior position despite concerns being raised by the security services

He stayed in the guy's house while he was in jail and that was public.

okay but who knew what and when? why did they appoint him given what was already common knowledge? what checks were done? what did they uncover? if they did uncover this, why was he appointed? if they didn’t, why were they so lax? i don’t buy that anyone was super surprised by the emails!

if the argument was that no 10 knew, this is a resignation offence for everybody at the top who let it happen line that “we knew our ambassador was best pals with notorious paedophile and sex-trafficker epstein and appointed him anyway so he doesn’t have to go” is indefensible

if this is the position, keir starmer should resign

seriously?

not to state the obvious but this was avoidable by not appointing known close friend of jeffrey epstein peter mandelson to an important position. quite a lot of people suggested you don’t do that

it becomes a resignation offence for more than just the us ambassador to not have sacked him pretty soon i have to say

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

wonder how many cabinet ministers they can get to star in social media clips defending the paedophile’s best pal before they eventually relent and have to sack him anyway

the people they’ll get rid of and the reasons they’ll get rid of them but jeffrey epstein’s best pal is untouchable

the burnham wing should obviously run haigh over powell. not even close tbqh

for what i assume is a pitch for deputy leadership, this strikes me as quite detail focused (i think that’s a good thing)

where have i heard that name before?
