“Can I shock you? I actually love progressive, social democratic politics.” “Really?” “Ooooh yeah. Yep. Big time. Big time.”

Just scratching the surface here: this is 1) secret donations for a secret party within the opposition party 2) legally dubious spying on journos 3) criminal vote rigging 4) illegal sharing of privileged information with notorious criminals by a known associate of dubious Russians and Chinese…

I'm being left behind by the AI revolution in the same way I was left behind when Heaven's Gate ascended to join the spaceship that was hiding behind a comet.

Every time we hear about how genAI has pushed another teenager to suicide, another person into committing a mass shooting, or generated CSAM of school girls used to blackmail their schools, remember we were told that what we'd be hearing about is a cure to every cancer, and global poverty itself

You know who rode a bicycle? Chairman Mao.

If Labour wanted the Greens to stand down in Makerfield, then Labour should have stood down in Gorton and Denton. They didn't. They did this instead. They were happy to risk a Reform victory there. www.thenational.scot/news/2589179...

Sorry to repost from the other place but AI bros make me seethe

In 2019 MPs voted on including a Customs Union in the withdrawal agreement. It was defeated 276-273. If 2 MPs had voted the other way it would have passed Among those who voted against were 5 LibDems, including Ed Davey. Why? They didnt want to do anything that helped Corbyn

I have a suspicion there's a correlation between a millennial believing in New Age / conspirituality / angels etc and the amount of trance music lyrics they consumed in the 1990s

Labour members voting for Andy Burnham because they want a left wing Prime Minister

OK so he's apparently the only labour guy who can take on reform in a GE but simultaneously needs the Greens to stand down so he can maybe win against reform to become MP in the first place? Is that an actual argument cos jfc.

I sometimes feel insane that we don't constantly talk about the time Labour gave a black guy who was poised to unseat Nigel Farage the sack because he was a better poster than Keir Starmer

Andy Burnham never saw an illegal invasion of Iraq that he didn't like

A handy mnemonic I use when doing electrical wiring: Neutral = Black / blue = a bruise or two. Live = Red / brown = bleeding and shitting yourself to death.

His moment is now 🏆

I remember when it was called the mandela syndrome

Several years after Starmer & Labour Together purged opposing voices, hand-picked a bunch of vapid loyalists for the '24 intake and made clear they had no compunction about using the press to destroy the lives of soft-left challengers, I see we're now wondering why the party's sole output is dreck.

I assume the Green Party was able to assuage fears about them being a party of Hitlerian hatemongers, because the extremely intense Concerns seem to have dried up the moment those election results came in.

A classic thought-terminating cliché: whenever you encounter it, ask the people making these idiotic claims to present one example, piece of data, or any basis for what they’re whining about. They will twist in the wind.

I like enjoying fun as much as the next person but the Wilhelm scream is a boring bit; a tired, 50 year old, unfunny catchphrase for nerds, and I always think less of a film or tv show when they use it

Nobody on BBC News chatting endlessly about Streeting is mentioning either Mandelson or evangelical Christianity

Before Labour got into power they were careful to get the message out “there’s no money” with Rachel “fiscal rules” Reeves constantly lying to us that the finances of a nation state need to be managed on a short term basis like a Monzo current account

If you're a juror on a trial where you even *suspect* the defendants are guilty of an offence carried out as an act of protest (because they've also been banning recent defendants from talking about Palestine), you absolutely *have* to acquit them, because you now don't know what the Judge will do.

Got my anti-AI slop design screenprinted on some shirts Available from my website: www.spellingmistakescostlives.com/shop

the reason it's an insult is because you folks have literally gotten everything you wanted politically for 47 years apart from Brexit, and you torpedoed the politics that young people were desperate for because of that fact. And your hubris delivered Boris fucking Johnson

Excited to announce I'm backing Wes Streeting for leader

Found this old file, sketching out something I was going to paint during the last Labour leadership election in 2020 but I lost the will to live half way through making it. Looks like I hadn't even heard of Labour Together at that point

If I can't see the election results they can't see me

Can't believe this didn't work

7 months to go

This might be the policy to turn everything around

Even Starmer's resignation will be a broken pledge

the tech world has genuinely not grappled with how many people despise them and what they make

I don’t know how America managed to make Nazis the singular image of evil while keeping its own genocidal history in the footnotes. But it worked, so congrats to the empire, I guess.

i regret to inform you that i read the giant balls article

one of their new councillors is quite literally a holocaust denier.

It's happening.

The Scottish Tories dedicated themselves more to transphobia than anyone. They've been wrecked in Scotland, losing nearly two thirds of their seats. The Scottish Greens and LibDems stood in solidarity with trans people and doubled their seats. No major news outlet will comment on this dynamic.

This empty suit loves talking about "values" while never once saying what they are
