Starmer's Britain is one in which an NHS Doctor is dragged through the courts and shamed in the press for no crime she has committed and is ultimately forced into self-exile due to harassment Labour on all levels of politics enthusiastically supported

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the right’s problem is deep down they actually hate Thatcherism, but they can’t admit that to themselves so they drive themselves insane trying to pretend otherwise

Maintain my view that the real two tier policing is "easy things Vs hard things".

Equals pequals

The equality and human rights commission under the new Labour appointed chief is snubbing trans rights organisations (which it has a public sector duty to engage with) in favour of anti trans rights organisations (which it has a obligation to at listen to, but which are not a protected group).

If I can sincere post for a moment, I really hope Forest go down as punishment to Marinakis for his behaviour. Even if that means West Ham or Spurs stay up, so be it

God she fucking sucks

Presumably their usual spokesperson is off sick or something? Maybe this is a truncated version but I don't see the words “legitimate concerns” anywhere

The people yearn for liberalism

Everyone else: AAAGGHHH TEETH FALLING OUT!! SNAKE!! France: I should call her Greece: ooh hat

Is it just me or does every rising star who is described as a "nightmare" for their opponents end up crashing and burning really badly?

But I was assured that Labour’s core voters were British Leyland workers and steel miners!

[clears throat, steps up to mic] Howard Nutlick.

Yep, it's definitely back on

Poor Bob Sanchez, for once he's blameless in Chelsea not getting a clean sheet

Without a doubt my favourite Joao Pedro skill is the one where a defender just pushes him to the ground in the box for no reason

Gosh it's nice to have a forward who can finish again

It's not even the paedophile you're thinking of

It's a mistake to see this as hypocrisy, because people like Pochin aren’t hypocrites: they believe in a society where they form part of an in-group that has total freedom to do and say what they want, and the rest of society must bow to their whims

*taps sign*

A weird trait of the modern right is the insistence that it is censorship any time they are not invited by to something, but it is NOT censorship to threaten to shut down organisations whose free speech you disagree with.

No.10 celebrating their survival for another fortnight:

Ugh her victory lap is going to be so annoying

God level

Yes. People love to paint Corbyn and Starmer as opposites but there are throughlines over their tenures atop the Labour Party: corrosive, faux macho bullying, horrible appointments made for loyalty rather than competence, a sneering indifference to racism & gaslighting of its victims

My “I’m not planning to resign today” t-shirt…oh you all know the rest

No.10 staff heading into work today:

The resignations will continue until morale improves.

This is so so awful

Rate bit of good news here for Labour.

In a touching tribute to his mentor, Morgan McSweeney has resigned in disgrace.

When ASOIAF tv hits like this, there’s genuinely nothing like it. I know a lot of these scenes are tropes but they are tropes for a reason

The person briefing this:

There's no reason to accept this as normal, though. Much of Starmer and Labour's unpopularity is not misfortune but his own doing. Mandelson was a choice. Consistently pursuing policy positions designed to appeal to people who will not vote for you - and alienating core supporters - is a choice.

Weird and almost universal revisionism today. Even at the time, it was pretty clear that Mandelson wasn't appointed *despite* his dodgy links but *because* of them. Trump's Washington is a dirty swamp. Mandelson was deemed a man able to swim in it. This wasn't a secret. Everybody said it out loud.

Not wanting to dunk on anyone, but a lot of the replies presume a level of self discipline that, if we possessed it, would mean there wasn’t a problem in the first place. I lose my keys, phone and wallet on a regular basis *because* I am incapable of putting them in the same place every time

ten years ago today no one clapped

Can't even leak confidential cabinet finance information to a known paedophile anymore, because of woke.

Surely they have to prosecute him over this? Right?

What are the odds on him joining Reform?
