I see your critique of my bad faith & hypocrisy & I raise you my sneering condescension

X is filled with bots for keir

I mean, what? Is the Labour Party *not* just crackdowns, means-testing, flag-fucking and bungs to energy companies, all designed to support the influence-peddling careers of its senior members? Of course it is that, it’s been that way for well over thirty years. Open a newspaper for details.

The most irritating lib big brain bollocks and you see it ALL the time. Peter Mandelson was a man who lived his entire life bitter that he didn't have even more money. There would have been no salary high enough for the cunt. And he isn't an anomaly.

“Working to destroy democracy hand-in-hand with the political faction that we - the esteemed ladies and gentlemen of the British press - worked ourselves sick for a decade to re-inflict upon every man, woman and child in the country” feels like an angle that requires further exploration IMO.

This is true but we should recall that *the entire point of the McSweeney Labour project* was to restore public indifference to politics, and to fight a low-stakes, low-engagement, low-turnout election, specifically so that the lads could go back to agreeing policy with donors offscreen.

It's like Mandelson and Starmer watched and learned from the Tory VIP Lane: 💷 Privileged access ✅ 💷 Personal benefit ✅ 💷 No competition ✅ Mandelson benefitted financially through his stake in Global Counsel.

In a move that will shock all of us. Ronay is upset that people are talking about Palestine.

the worst sports writer in the world is back and he's still being a massive cunt. the word Guardiola used was genocide, as Barney well knows.

Do love starmer and the press being like: aren't we - well, you - all to blame for mandelson, really? when we have years of shitposters replying to every tweet about mandelson with pictures and questions about epstein

The bond market loves our keir so much

In Britain these days, you're actually regarded as a bit of a loser if you're NOT a massive paedophile.

Sometimes, all it takes to raise questions over nine-figure government contracts with obviously shady military companies is an unignorable scandal involving association by proxy with a child sex trafficker. Keep going, The UK Press - you’re doing great!

Positions aside, she has utter contempt for the impertinent hogs called voters. Do not let this person have the lifelong eldercare she believes his her reward

Katie Britt was JUST about to do that though, I bet.

can't say which i find more appalling, remnick handing him a "fair enough" on the left and right being equally antisemitic or saying there was "no immigration policy" under dems. either way, super embarrassing for remnick to get steamrolled this hard by the right's pre-eminent midwit

Violence at the other place

lol www.thenational.scot/news/2583451...

Quite funny that Starmer's allies are waking up to this point now … Cuts to Winter Fuel… not in the manifesto Disability benefit cuts… not in there either Cutting jury trials… also not there Digital ID… no mention Raising employers NI… nope Freezing tax threholds… nah Contracts with Palantir… no

Beyond the ratfucking & court drama that brought them to power & is now cannibalising itself, Briefcase Labour's enduring legacy will be laying the foundations of the infrastructure for the fash capture of the state in the hope the fash who would never vote for them would vote for them

I'm sorry when was AOC a "left-wing agitator?" She was an elected member of congress. She didn't harass fellow members like MTG did/does. Is being left of Pelosi considered being an "agitator" by the NYT's? Does Kellen know what being a "left-wing agitator" means?

support trying new things - who knows what will work - but the new harris 67 or 68 thing making themselves look silly BECAUSE OF THE NAME THEY NEED TO USE ON THE NAZI SITE does not show a lot of good judgment. i mean, making a point of not being on the nazi site would have

still amazed that the Mandelson faction didn't set up another Starmer-like trojan horse candidate. Like when they made Mahmood home secretary she should have been "kindler, gentler" not "shoot cannons at the boats" and they probably could've snuck her in

Even if Starmer and McSweeney go, Labour Together will remain The think tank spent over £445,000 backing Rachel Reeves, David Lammy, Shabana Mahmood, Yvette Cooper, John Healey and Darren Jones ahead of the 2024 general election democracyforsale.substack.com/p/exclusive-...

We decided to fight back against psychopathic factionalism by 100% siding with Peter Mandelson’s flying monkeys, and by furiously promoting their every word and squeaky fart as hard-hitting reality.

Pressure building on govt to come clean about Mandelson's role in bringing US spy-tech firm Palantir into the heart of our NHS. The fingerprints of Mandelson and his lobbying firm are all over these deals. The rot goes to the heart of this Labour govt www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

everyone pretending this is 'vetting'. I don't know how things normally work in the UK, but the vetting for the white house gopher is more stringent than this (at least pre trump of course)

i dont want someone with this level of analysis anywhere near power, let alone being the main advisor to our prime minister

*If* you wanted to save labour, and that’s a big fucking if, you would need to do extreme and thorough DeBlairfication in the organisation and associated unions. You’d need to tolerate the hysteria from their media mates as you kicked them out on their arses and none of you have the stomach for that

I'm still waiting for some mea culpas from the people who defended Larry Summers for years, despite him being an obvious wrong'un in so many ways before the latest Epstein stuff. Larry being a massive misogynist within the profession was not a secret and people who pointed it out were stomped

I find it so telling whenever a labour shill is espousing all the Good Things labour has done and they present a website or graphic listing them it always includes anti immigrant racism as one of these achievements right next to marginal tax reforms and banning ninja swords

Holy shit it’s not great political strategy to constantly denounce your own voters?!

paragraph 48: "In Mr. Trump’s second term, Ms. Britt has voted in line with the president 100 percent of the time."

This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen: A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained" But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

First poll Starmer has been ahead in for quite a while. Starmer knew about Mandelson. Now he must resign.

the biden border bill and choosing to run on a “border patrol endorsed” piece of legislation should go down as not only cowardly and backward thinking but one of the worst strategic political decisions by democrats in recent memory, everyone involved should be out of politics forever

sure they get criticism from Both Sides but I don't think I have *ever* seen a journalist/editor at a mainstream outlet take the concerns of leftleaning readers/viewers seriously, at least not until they haved moved on

Look do you want my support or not Keir because you telling me to fuck off like this just wants me to see you fail.

i suppose it would violate some sort of JOURNALISTIC ETHICS for journalists to admit all the times they let the Mandelson faction of the Labour party dictate gossip about their enemies

more ppl need to be pointing out that wes streeting is peter mandelson's protege and that he defended mandelson remaining friends with epstein after he was convicted.

longtime wingman of Larry Summers

Okay but Zack Polanski has been coming out with bangers

[Clears throat] we can all agree that the racists and the people against racism are equally bad.

I swear it gets more embarrassing every time he appears

This is why the Mandelson scandal goes to the heart of what’s wrong with this government - constantly parping on about values of probity and decency whilst doing the exact opposite, and constantly blaming other people for the predictable results of its own decisions

"core british values"

The thing about doing "both the left and right are wrong " discourse is left leaning people have to hear "lefties but not me" and righties have to hear "righties but not me" When Starmer speaks people just hear him say "everybody is stupid but me"

Keir Starmer attacks the racism of Reform and Matt Goodwin but then adds that "Britain has also been let down by a mindset on the left of politics that is too slow to defend core British values"

What's fascinating about this as a text is that its highly sanitized version of Britain's past and present explicitly celebrates the very things the far right is now attacking: pluralism, tolerance, equality, liberalism. It's basically a DEI manifesto garnished with Shakespeare, Nelson and cricket.
