i think andy burnham becoming prime minister would wind a bunch of people up who i think it would be quite funny to wind up. don’t discount this factor when you’re trying to decide whether to #BelieveInBurnham or not

yet more news making it clear it’s time to stop messing around and #BelieveInBurnham

might be time to #BelieveInBurnham

i reckon they should completely suspend the 3pm saturday football broadcasting blackout but only for public spaces

“Andrew, who was born a prince” is good stuff. he should obviously be in jail tho

polanski has done a pretty remarkable job of securing media coverage and making the greens more popular than they’ve ever been but interesting now to see them also start to get a bit more serious www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

the greens will be in broadly the rightly place if they do platform meadway’s marxist class war www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/11...

until this website has 1500 tweet threads about your party or labour internal nonsense from charlie mansell, it won’t make it

feel like john mcdonnell comes out of this your party stuff quite well. corbynism got 40% of the vote in a general election!

LRC conference in 1900 got a bit raucous tbf

even pubs and pop music?!

guys it isn’t the two child benefit cap that gets you to £406 billion but if reform want to start campaigning to raid pensioners they should go for it

Also who cares why they did it? What matters is it's done. (In any case reducing poverty is one reason people vote for Labour MPs so mollifying is kind of the point of elected them).

think it is clearly true that this budget doesn’t look quite like this without threats (internal and external) to labour’s left

Bond markets spooked as the Chancellor appears to disappear behind raised hands; gilts stage rally as she reveals she was actually there the whole time

amongst all this, I’m glad the two child benefit cap is being scrapped and properly scrapped at that

i don’t believe you’ve all just started your new job as press officer at the OBR. why would they onboard you all on budget day?

great pretence to fuck the OBR up tbh

There’s a word we used to say. They don’t let you say it anymore, but I think it’s a beautiful word. We call it: dialectic. You have the thesis, and then the antithesis, and if you put them together it’s a synthesis. Very powerful. We’ll be looking into that. Very materialist, the theory of history

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

not at all motivated by my club stinking up the place at the moment but club football is stale in my view maybe the tides turned on that maybe it should always be a consequential international break

saw bugonia tonight and thought it banged tbh

greens on 17 with yougov is crazy. what’s their ceiling do we think?

This is the point. Policy *should not* be adjusted or fine-tuned in response to minor forecasting judgements. Decisions about whether or not to break a prominent manifesto promise *should not* depend on minor forecasting judgements. This stuff matters. We've got to do better than this.

It's a Ming vase strategy that involves repeatedly smashing the vase

a ming vase electoral strategy comes unstuck when you can never put the vase down when you actually win

i think it’s a heartwarming testament to the human spirit in the face of overwhelming evidence that there are still pretty loyal starmer and reeves supporters on here

maybe every political journalist in the country just made up some quotes and attributed them to number ten sources as a joke

strange but true: in the late 20th century and even the early 21st, UK prime ministers would usually stay in office for as long as 2 or 3 years. often longer!

“the devious wes streeting is plotting to oust me from office which is destabilising to the government and the bond markets, however his position in my cabinet is totally secure despite what i just said about all the destabilising scheming”

exclusive clip from the first starmer vs streeting leadership hustings

streeting vs starmer is going to be really vicious really quickly because the stakes are so low

great video on the rockstar games union busting effort youtu.be/c9nOwjeznjI?...

haven’t played fifa in a little while and got back on board with eafc 26. kind of surprised how bad it is? you can win games like 9-0 consistently on pro and then world class is a grind, not sure any single player game mode nails it, it desperately needs a half decent competitor

great news!

that there isn’t a mainstream 7pm-ish music show on the bbc is bad imo. get your radio stations to pick the lineup for variety each week + charts. make people listen to stuff they wouldn’t otherwise imo

people have problem with bbc backwards often times. it should be more paternalistic and elitist if anything

hearing robert kilroy-silk to DG

tim davie was really bad tbf, although no real hope for the next one

The Biden administration was fully complicit in genocide, and anyone who served in it should be held accountable.

zohran! legend!

guys living in south london, never been to new york: “god i hope zohran mamdani wins” i am guys

trying “Fortnite” for the Simpsons crossover and have to say the game keeps massively getting in the way of me just wandering about Springfield landmarks

if the faithful win this series, i think it’s been the best UK series of traitors. so many times they’ve had no right to win from the position they got themselves in but the two who might do it have played a blinder if they pull it off (hopefully not too spoilery!)

i actually think a better punishment than stripping someone of their titles is jail

Reports that the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan have executed over 2,000 unarmed civilians are harrowing. They are crimes against humanity. This government must stop all arms sales to the UAE, especially since evidence shows the RSF is using British military equipment on battlefields in Sudan.

the labour party do not know how to counter a threat from their left that they can’t suspend or deselect

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

wow

in zohran’s jon stewart interview he says he’s been using the ed koch quote in interviews "if you agree with me on 9 out of 12 issues, vote for me. if you agree with me on 12 out of 12 issues, see a psychiatrist." and some kid shouted at him “12 out of 12 baby! take me away!”
