Starmer won a landslide by setting expectations lower than any previous prime minister but still disappointed absolutely everyone. What an achievement

I see the LadySafety Carer Abouter is promoting Nick Cohen, who had to leave the Observer after a years-long series of harassment and gro-*all the editors of the entire British press run in and slam a big red button, releasing the trapdoor and dropping me into an oubliette*

Posted this like two years ago over on the other place and it is with a heavy heart I regret to inform you that nothing has changed and the CEO has outright admitted the product is just a fuckin demo and they'd prefer not to have pesky users all over their webbed site

The hypocrite that is Shabana Mahmood. Remember, someone always has the receipts. Do as I say, not as I do. #Gaza #UK

Talk of Badenoch's incompetence is entirely superfluous at this stage. In fact, foregrounding her incompetence and lack of future prospects only detracts from how dangerous she is, right now, as leader of the opposition. That is the real issue. That the leader of the opposition is far right.

Revealed waiting times of all GICs in UK: Most Trans+ people in the UK will wait more than a third of their adult life to get an appointment, and some will never receive care

Another genius move by the Starmer government with consequences that could not have been predicted by sensible people with Oxford PPE degrees.

Welp

The 22 MP's who voted against the banning of Palestine Action, including all 4 Green MP's

Reminder that @theguardian.com has a partnership with OpenAI, and has of late published a spate of asinine articles that are uncritical in framing, and just read as press releases for the company and for "AI" in general. The headline/implicit framing of this article seems consistent with its biases.

A Nazi really ran into a class, calling them slurs & other Nazi nonsense, got chased by the entire class then when he was caught complained they were rude to him. Lmao. Nazis are whiny babies.

if dems throw trans people under the bus to fund a government that is invading democratic cities then the dem party is finished

Hold up, hold up. *This* is a key financial backer of the Tony Blair Institute for Change, and the owner of the company in pole position to deal with the UK's digital ID roll-out? RIGHTO. fortune.com/2024/09/17/o...

Neoliberal pundits “Karl stop saying the Techno fascists are actively building a surveillance state inside the crumbling facade of America it’s doomerism” The techno fascists:

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

Yeah if we get I.D cards I'm not outing myself as non binary on them. I don't think that is a safe thing for me to do given the uncertain future on such matters in the UK

Kneecap rapper Liam Og O hAnnaidh has told Keir Starmer, 'better luck next time' after a terrorism case against him was thrown out due to a technical error in the way he was charged

Incredible, really: it began with TV interviewers dying inside live on air, pleading with their eyes for ministers to just stop saying “Well actually, I worked bloody hard to get to a position where I get free Taylor tickets”, and it has got worse and more humiliatingly slapstick every week since.

If anyone knows anything about this ICE agent, you can reach me on Signal at marisakabas.04

Yup: "80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding." For more on this listen to "Carbon Bros," the latest season of @drilledmedia.bsky.social with @amywestervelt.bsky.social

I've been quiet for a while. It's been due to a number of factors, the most prominent of which is poor health. I need surgery, and I'm stuck in limbo. Please help. www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

America 2025. Please Don’t Offend The White Supremacists

"What's the charge, officers? Compiling an extensive dossier of sissy porn? A succulent dossier of sissy porn?"

“She’s not dressed like a slut, you think like a rapist.” Stole this from a TikTok and want to spread it around as a retort you can use over and over on some annoying person flapping their yap near you.

As an aside, Cowell helped a gala raise $20 million for the IDF and even contributed $150,000 personally to them. Google it

Both host and guest here will have an “Allegations” section in their wiki page. In the case of the host, it was another one everyone appears to have known about, that was kept very quiet until it was reported in America. (It was also kept quiet afterwards but there was at least some action taken).

Just a reminder that our new book, ‘In Solidarity, Under Suspicion: The British Far Left from 1956’, will be out in November through @manchesterup.bsky.social Ask your institutional library to pre-order a hardback copy now! manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526179593/

If this was true, Israel and the supporters of the genocide it's carrying out in Gaza would merely shrug their shoulders. Instead we've seen the opposite.

If Labour did the Iraq War and still aren't seen as proper racists, what hope do the Lib Dems think they have with this flag shagging?

Alright, the proprietor of "The Trump Arms" who has opened the "Charlie Kirk Memorial Debate Room" in his Hammersmith, London pub looks exactly like you expect (like Keir Starmer)

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...

Did a single media outlet, other than perhaps Novara and Owen J, interview Martin Forde about the Labour racism review? Pretty sure Compass did an interview with them. But I also seem to recall Forde saying at the time that not a single journalist bothered to get his perspective on that report.

I bet this cunt has tried ringing his wife with the lottery results, trying to beat the time zone

I see a sponsored post by St. Mungo's on Instagram fundraising for money for them to help stop homelessness. I take the time to comment that St. Mungo are a landlord that has often used no fault evicitons to kick people onto the street. Now all I see is sponsored St. Mungo posts... Good algo that

News orgs HAVE to stop calling these porn bans. Yes, #HB4938, does also criminalize porn — also terrible — it goes far beyond that. LGBTQ+ sites, social media sites, community forums, Shakespeare, drag, a review of Mrs. Doubtfire, all punishable by jail $500K fine and twenty years in jail.

stay the course Kier, you're doin' swell!

But first I'll tweet a picture of the graffiti making sure hundreds of thousands more people see it than would have anyway

"They are legitimising the extreme right by letting them dictate the terms of politics, and in so doing are paving the way for them ... This is appeasement pure and simple. It didn't stop fascism in the 1930s. And it will not work today."

Shot, chaser Young men more likely to vote Green than Reform. Young men second most progressive group of any demographic. Combined right-wing vote barely bigger than Green vote alone for young men

Say what you want about Peter Kyle but going on record that you are happy to hear someone wanted to murder your boss is incredible stuff.

What happens when the first Palestinian flag appears at Rock Against Racism 2025? Will the lads just let it slide in our shared interest in defeating the far right, or will they all join the Times, the Telegraph and the Mail writhing on the floor in terror and roaring abuse.

Did you know? Peter Mandelson was best man at #trevorphillips wedding. Will Phillips acknowledge his close relationship with Mandelson on his programme this morning?

The BBC are a little light on the details of what Charlie Kirk explicitly said about his beliefs including wanting to “cleanse” the world of certain Jews who he believed controlled politics and culture. A deeply racist fanatic.

The pole is transphobia and it's obstructing the chodeus gyrus, the part of the brain that ordinarily would prevent a British person from watching videos of an evangelical American fascist for fun.

You know who the BBC should chat to about Charlie Kirk on tonight's News at 10? Channel favourite Gram Lineham, the American expert who sounds normal and reasonable whenever he's given the opportunity to speak.

The front page of the Sun was running with the "a trans person killed Charlie Kirk" nonsense. I somehow feel that they won't be running a front page contraction, allowing yer da to continue on in this delusion.
