On the one hand, it is *incredibly* aggravating that this is being Noticed now, and Noticed via being passed to a Tory MP to make it look like a new story in particular. On the other, this letter is a Who’s Who of people who spent early 2024 bragging to journos about how smart they’d been.

I've raised an autistic child to adulthood and I've mainly learned that we're all on the spectrum somewhere

Presumably the guy takes Blair's famous sleeping pills, because I've no idea how he sleeps otherwise

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

What movie do you consider perfect?

Good chance of Israel being suspended from the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) this week. This move would have devastating implications for Israeli football, and would be the most significant move of cultural sanction against Israel in decades.

Jonathan's plan is for the Labour Party to be the imaginary one in his head, and not the one that actually exists, that he did his utmost to put in power

I made an alternative cover for JK Rowling's new book, The Toilet Constable. Coming soon to a bad bookshop near you... Print file can be downloaded from my website: www.spellingmistakescostlives.com/single-post/...

this one is good too

Reskeet with your mental state

Zarah Sultana just give up already and join the Greens challenge 2025

This is very, very funny. Great start lads!

🚨 | Jeremy Corbyn has confirmed that the YourParty membership sign up link posted this morning by Zarah Sultana was unauthorised. Over 20,000 people had already signed up, with the standard rate being £55 per annum. These are set to be cancelled.

Absolutely fucking monstrous. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

*Sudden, intense nausea*

It was trivially easy to predict that the Starmer government's belated condemnation of far right criminality last weekend would be quickly followed by even more intensive pandering to the far right's politics. Its who they are. They won't change www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

It's OK, BBC Verify are factchecking what Antifa is

One of these "nine urgent questions still hanging over the assassination" that the Mail has is "WHAT HAPPENS IN VALHALLA?"

Starmer, Khan, Mordaunt all using the "student politics" line in recent days. Desperate stuff

No I think the people who are running the world know exactly what they’re doing. There is a mass level threat in the form of climate change coming and this is the first part of a consolidation of power and resource hoarding. The next part is the fight for resource that comes.

Look who came with

it’s very funny to make a distinction between cancel culture and what this is, which is clear government supression of speech. cancel culture isn’t anti first amendment, but this specifically is! which is worse!

Sorry I was late to your wedding, my flight was canceled because my pilot posted a Charlie Kirk quote verbatim in the comments of an Instagram Reel.

Now that the UN commission has confirmed what we have all been able to see perfectly clearly for the past two years, I just want to say that one of the most reprehensible denial arguments I heard again and again was "if Israel was intent on committing genocide, there would be no Palestinians left"

Nothing to add.

Mahmood is a barrister. She's attacking the application of the law

The history books will show that there was, in fact, such a thing as Starmerism. And it wasn’t good

Absolutely baffling absence of Annas Ginger Thins. Pair with a beast of a coffee

Pretty much sums up the situation

BINGO VOICE: Legs eleven! That's legs eleven.

I used tiny bits of sellotape to repair snapped tapes that the tape machine had chewed, and a biro to re-spool them

Re-upping in honour of Behr's latest "Starmer has fucked it" column

All lovely stuff, but unsurpringly no mention of Labour antisemitism 2016-2019. I guess when the subject is "How to defeat the far right", recalling how you derided "lifelong anti-racists" as culpable isn't germane. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Is it just me or does "Heed the patriotic call of national renewal" sound more than a teensy bit fash

This interview briefly touches on Labour's role in the current shitshow, but weirdly doesn't mention that Jon Cruddas, part of the whole Blue Labour thing with Glasman & McSweeney, is now listed as a director of Hope Not Hate

Another compelling factor was Israeli troops’ “extensive and deliberate” targeting of Palestinian children, Mr. Sidoti said. Medical workers testified they had treated many children with direct gunshot wounds to the head and upper body.

25 people think Starmer is going in the right direction??

This book comes out in three days, incidentally.

Nav Pillay: "The Genocide Convention was born out of humanitys darkest chapters. Today we witness in real time how the promise of never again is broken and tested in the eyes of the world. The ongoing genocide in Gaza is a moral outrage and a legal emergency"

Looking forward to The Guardian now describing it as such in all its reporting 👍

BREAKING: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, a team of independent experts commissioned by the U.N.’s Human Rights Council concludes.

Lammy's own complicity in the genocide in Gaza hangs heavily over the new justice secretary insisting on a duty to act with "honesty and integrity at all times" or face criminal prosecution. He knows the guilty, like him, will escape justice

Israel has commenced its ground incursion into Gaza. History will remember everyone who helped enable this genocide.

Forgot about this one

These comments are disgusting and the fact there are people in Starmer’s team who think it shouldn’t be a resigning matter suggests an operation completely out of touch with reality.
