Genuinely wild that basically every C-suite in America has forgotten why they were doing corporate pride stuff and anti-Trump signaling in 2017

Mr. Schumer, the president’s brain is leaking all over my kitchen table

the supreme court may be handing dictatorial powers to a senile pedophile, but let's take stock of the important thing here: Justice Kavanaugh no longer has to worry about his gambling debts

this is doing politics the right way!

doesn't require any judgment on the man himself to observe that the people whose brains are completely cooked in "the bubble" are journalists who thought charlie kirk was some sort of national hero/celebrity

is brooklyn dad still defiant

Keir Starmer: “we hate immigrants they’ve caused incalculable damage” Also Keir Starmer: “why don’t immigrants want to come and work here? 😌”

I cannot believe this woman, who retaliated on PEN staffers speaking out for Gaza, is still insisting that the threat is coming from both sides. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/o...

Am I meant to think that deporting my friends would be ok if it was 'properly funded'? Is Labour going to start work on a 'workable' way to retrospectively strip people of their settled status? Is this your 'progressive patriotism'? I cannot state my contempt for this government strongly enough.

It’s worth your looking up the brief, unhappy history of the “Blue Dog” caucus: b. 2006 midterms, d. 2010 midterms. The policy and politics value of the ACA was broken between the corruption of Joe Lieberman and the pose-striking of the Blue Dogs. And that’s just for starters.

All the really good political stupidity is still on the bird site, I’m not sure what to do about it.

Somebody got the memo that every single rural hospital was going to have to shut down

Starmer's speedrunning the coveted 0% polling, he's found ways to alienate everyone that shouldn't be physically possible, he's out of bounds, he's zip-skipping, he's manipulating code by picking up items and dropping them a specific number of times and then punching himself in the head

Labour calls the plan "half-baked" because Reform have got their figures wrong and it wouldn't even apply to everyone from the EU

the biden administration suspecting and proving that homan would take a bribe and then being unprepared to take the next step and just letting him walk away with $50k for doing nothing is so on the nose it just doesnt feel real

checked with the professionals and the only response to this is "run anti-abortion candidates"

Thing is, this is just a less jargony way of saying something you hear all the time about uh salience & perception from polprofs & commentators. It’s merely the first time a politician’s turned to the camera & gone “well look I think we’re just going to exploit that now if that’s ok yeah 😉”

It's particularly the case among the Americans who are paid to decide which news is important, and who despite everything still can't bring themselves to accurately describe the fact that the president is serially murdering people and our systems are unable to stop him

They deliberately brought in a guy from the fucking Sun to do comms. The least you’d expect from somebody with that background is to remind everyone that “unfunded” is not the killer line they think it is.

Reform: if we deport 2 million people, we will "save" 200 billion pounds Liberals: check your sums, it is only 100 billion

And lol there we have it: by framing it as what is today "unfunded" & "unworkable" will tomorrow be magically "unavoidable" & "necessary"

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

This is why, despite Labour’s fumbling attempts in the last couple of days to persuade people that they can be relied upon as allies in the fight against fascism, they very obviously can’t

at some point israel realized they could kill up to about 100 (known) people per day without anyone who mattered pretending to care, and that is what they have been doing in the "not a genocide, it is blood libel to say so" for almost 2 years

*The most nasal voice imaginable* “Of course, we would all love to retrospectively remove indefinite leave to remain… but there’s a *process*”

Keir Starmer’s spokesperson asked for the PM's response to Nigel Farage’s plan to deport hundreds of thousands of people living and working completely legally in the UK, replies that he thinks it is “unworkable” and “unfunded”. So his objection is that they’ve got their sums wrong

nailed on he has floated a father ted reboot but it got turned down because 90% of the script was various characters talking about sissy porn and autogynophilia

everyone in charge of everything is stupid now because there is no meritocracy just endless loyalty tests if you can willfully believe the most insane bullshit you’re in the club. there’s no deep state. they’re all just really that stupid.

This is very weird because there are literally no details in this scandal which were not reported at the time. McSweeney said that the donations had to be covered up because the donor was scared of anti-semitic trolls, the donor said "never heard of that, it sounds like a mistake" and that was it.

Sickos

When I interviewed older South Asian British people about their retirement decisions over a decade ago, a large number said they had kept a passport and land in India and Pakistan 'just in case' When I asked 'in case what?' they responded 'in case we are told to leave Britain'

It is just so offensive how these members of congress gaslight us. Declaring that we are unable to see empathy because they want to throw immigrants and trans people under the bus so that they can keep their seats.

I know we aren't allowed to talk about trump's very adult son but ...

Anne explains that Mandelson is hoping for a payoff for unfair dismissal unless the government can prove gross misconduct. LOL. Sam explains that he’s asked around and nobody in Washington seemed to like him, actually. LMAO

lammy accuses opposition of publicizing bad things about labour. unfair! www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Labour say they want to extend ILR to ten years, Reform say they will scrap it and deport people. This is how the escalation happens. Reform already suggested those born abroad should be deported for fly-tipping (status not specified)

Like I say: what happens when we hold our first big anti-racism, anti-deportation event, and some people show up carrying Palestinian flags? The answer will dishearten but not surprise you

Anyway well done to the BBC for laundering the leader of a movement which in no substantial way differs from the 1970s-style National Front into our living rooms

I agree. Also, it was probably intensely stupid to have spent a decade portraying Britain’s anti-racism campaigners as terrifying, treasonous, totalitarian extremists while at the same time saying racist views about migration are what everyone thinks, and disagreeing is shitting on the working man.

Instead the fucking government wants to extend the ILR qualifying period to ten years Well done everyone

One for the museum

[subtweeting] people wouldn't be having to spend a lot of time trying to correct Reform claims on this irrelevant website if the state broadcaster wasn't their full time PR agent and the Labour party ever tried to disagree with them.

every journalist knows they are packaging the entire Charlie Kirk story dishonestly, and they all think it is incredibly rude to point that out

Hey don’t forget Lexington is written by a middle aged dude who had to quit editing the NYT after his staff revolted over his bad handling of the BLM protest coverage, a real Get for the liberal newspaper of record

Wisdom is understanding the economist magazine is written by 25-year-old oxford ppes who are confidently wrong about everything. The OG blog

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

Govt minister Hamish Falconer explains that the Palestinian state should have no army or air force. So it can't defend itself. The Labour govt is fond of saying the first duty of any govt is to defend its own people. Why doesn't that apply to Palestinians?

Did Trump win in November because he showed grace and empathy to people who voted for Joe Biden in 2020? Politics is not an Afterschool Special. You put out a strong message about what's wrong, propose a compelling policy agenda, hope the economy cooperates and that's it. None of this mush.
