This is genuinely insane, I clicked to see the years expecting the low part to be 70s or maybe 90s but its 2015!!!!! The entire anti trans panic is a decade old

bears repeating what many have already said, that this is a new, turbo-charged Section 28 that overtly persecutes trans kids. It will destroy lives, and it will end lives. The collapse of this unconscionable government can’t come soon enough.

This is so infuriating I really don’t have the words. Morally indefensible. I actually think this is even more poisonous than section 28. S28 was deeply insidious, but this is quite literally state sanctioned discrimination and harassment. It’s making the lives of trans children unliveable

Sir Rake Stepper masterfully places another giant rake on the floor

He got out after 3 months in an ICE gulag.

I think it says a lot that by far the stupidest option out of these was still Mandelson, and that's who they went with

Slightly odd paragraph in that Shipman article where an anon source tells him about the infamous "cutting off power" interview, which Shipman presents in a way which suggests he's not familiar with it

One day there will be a reckoning for how Arsenal Football Club dealt with this case. And I’m afraid that includes the manager

Ratcliffe deploying The Cunt's Apology - "Sorry that you were offended"

If the PM reckons Jim Ratcliffe should apologise for spreading this exact same lie, should the Home Office apologise too, or? 🤨

The Guardian view: The wallet inspector should go back to inspecting our wallets like he said he would

OK - will coconut milk still be coconut milk?

I gotta say, "the Pentagon uses a high powered laser to shoot down a party balloon" feels like enough symbolism for awhile. all full up thanks

Harsh but fair

Starmer has emboldened these people

"Hey Kieth, what if you did a series of things that are totally, 100%, absolutely, in opposition to everything you've ever done so far in your campaign and time as PM? What if you were, in fact, another guy? Have you tried being another guy?" Impressive cope. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Fixed it.

Labour & Tories with a combined -79.8 is absolutely savage

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

You know, the Labour peer who was key to Starmer's operation and was mates with a paedophile even after they found out about. No, not him, the other one.

Anything happening about a UK government cabinet minister admitting he thinks Israel are committing war crimes?

I love sending exactly three WhatsApp messages to my longtime political mentor Peter Mandelson

This doesn't pass the sniff test because another Mandelson associated op was based out of Streeting's constituency, and its latest incarnation has a close associate of Streeting as a director

Haha I hadn't seen this one before. Absolute banger

Over on the Nazi site, Danny the Fink was challenged on working with Mandelson on this podcast, and his answer was "butbutwhatabout Noam Chomsky"

The Times calls Keir Starmer's decision to hire Peter Mandelson an "egregious error" which deserves an "inquiry into the appointment process." Not included is any demand for an inquiry into their own appointment of him, long after his post-conviction relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was exposed

"Evidence-based cult"

When he ran Labour Together, Cabinet Office minister Josh Simons hired a PR firm to investigate journalists After our revelations, and a flurry of news stories, Simons finally gave his side of the story But it doesn't seem to tally with the facts... 🧵 democracyforsale.substack.com/p/mcsweeney-...

"A better future is possible. A better future means Labour." The Daily Mirror, 3 July 2024

This will be excruciating

Fuck 'im up, Morgs

"A better future is possible. A better future means Labour." The Daily Mirror, 3 July 2024

labour gov brags about deportation numbers, nativists complain they see non-white faces perfect encapsulation of why this doesn't work

Finally got my copy at an event this evening.

Updated in the wake of documents seen by the Guardian showing Simons commissioned research to “investigate the sourcing, funding and origins” of a November 2023 Sunday Times report about the thinktank, in addition to other journalistic investigations into the group.

"It's an obsession of yours, and frankly you can all fuck off" was pithier

Reminder that in Feb 2024 Josh Simons said he'd put "people smugglers" on the Bibby Stockholm and send it to Scotland. "You know, who cares?". Starmer made him an MP and then a minister

Exclusive: Cabinet Office minister Josh Simons was provided with intelligence files gathered on journalists (including me) who had reported on Labour Together, the thinktank he chaired at the time (before he became an MP), sources say. Know more about this story? Contact me, Signal: henrydyer.01

When he goes it's going to be like Diana's death for these people

New Starmer defence just dropped

this is incredible and well worth a read

This isn't quite true imv. There are plenty of people Morgan is happy to let have power: mostly, those who already have it and have held it for a long time. What drives him is keeping the left of the party out of power. It is core to him in a way people still underestimate.

This main character from last year has returned and he's STILL defending Starmer. He's now been reduced to wailing "don't you know there's a war on?"

Good to see the spotlight falling on Josh Simons

I was working with @direthoughts.com when he broke the first stories about Labour Together's funding way back in 2021. Now it turns out they were paying private investigators to investigate him for reporting on them and Morgan McSweeney knew about it democracyforsale.substack.com/p/exclusive-...
