This is like Bob Morton predicting the end of crime in Old Detroit within forty days.

🔎 NEW: Farage's fixer and convicted fraudster, George Cottrell, has launched a polling company. But we can’t find any staff, any media coverage, or much polling data. So is it just a vehicle for dark money? 💷 goodlaw.social/qqou

In the Magasphere, the advent of the first pope from the US has not been greeted with enthusiasm. Laura Loomer even called him "a total Marxist." In reality, the choice of his name refers to Pope Leo XIII who criticized a mentality that places profit before people and creates extreme inequalities.

"I’m sure that, back in 1978, Springsteen didn’t intend for the song to be interpreted, almost half a century later, as a theme song of the resistance, an antifascist national anthem. But the genius of 'Badlands' is that it can absolutely be read that way."

Please set aside half an hour to read this article & think about what you, what we the people, can do to reconstruct the America we believe in, the America we keenly desire.

Seriously, “Badlands” should be the national anthem until the motherfucker’s gone. I believe in the love that you gave me I believe in the faith that could save me I believe in the hope And I pray that some day It may raise me above these badlands.

Sigh. There's 3 possibilities. Number 10 press / Comms are just really very shit at everything. A mistake - see above. Have so little to say, & much to hide from the more astute EU trade savvy press they feel the need to control every word of intentional spin?

This is, frankly, one of the most horrific things I have ever had the misfortune to read.

In two important ways Labour empowered Nigel Farage and Faragism this week. Both were strategic mistakes. We’ve seen this story before. New writing from me. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

We stay winning. We've successfully found the most strategically brain dead idea in UK politics, everyone else can give up and go home.

Late in the day to this one, but a good illustration that LAB were always going to get it in the neck for any deal with the EU, so why not go for what they want, rather than trying to placate an implacable Farage? (assumes LAB knows what it wants) www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

I quite like this Paul Bernal bloke.

Starmer's grip on the party may not be as firm as you might think. Pretty sure out of 412 Labour MPs, 243 were new to Parliament. They will not be enjoying the experience of making life worse for so many. It's not what they stood for.

When it became apparent 2025 wasn't the Kansas of 2016. That was the moment to level with voters of what carnage lies & cover ups cost us. 20yrs+Ru anti-EU BS to aid Putin's plan-Brexit. UK would look at Starmer in admiration. See a leader we trust. Integrity intact. Like the world does Carney.

Keir Starmer is amplifying and legitimising Farage's rhetoric of hate. The Tories tried the same, and look where it has got them. Farage's politics of hate must be challenged, not legitimised.

Britain First intend to come back to Birmingham tomorrow. Like last time, they won't be welcome. There are many, many more of us than them and we will counter protest them @sutrbirmingham.bsky.social Good to see the Council refusing to accommodate them. #NoPasaran

Starmer's aid is wrong. End of. www.politicshome.com/news/article...

Plaid Cymru and Labour will keep these gammon clowns from power. Only thing worse than a Tory is a Welsh Tory.

This Friday @lincolnsbible.bsky.social and I are off, so we will not be live, but we WILL be live, in a sense, because our ICYMI Episode will air live at 8pm ET tomorrow! So if you're so inclined, pour yourself a cocktail and come hang! Here is the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqcY...

Foreign adversaries are pumping disinformation into our social media networks, but we know very little about the consequences let alone how to ameliorate them. For years, Republicans have harassed us for studying this. Now, NSF has canceled all funding. It’s a profound lapse in national security.

Local elections have low turnouts. The way to swing the results against Farage is to get good people off their sofas and into the polling stations. If you're angry with Labour then there are the LibDems and Greens. Abstaining helps the fascists. Fight Fascism #Vote4Democracy
