Me, me, me! I think I know the answer… Is it because he’s a racist, redneck Boer?

Andy Burnham's speech made no mention of the #ClimateCrisis, included no commitment to public ownership of water and said nothing about the urgent need to properly tax the super-rich. Will this just be a Labour rebranding exercise? For the real deal: Join.greenparty.org.uk

This has always been Israeli policy. Even when its politicians were espousing "two-state" rhetoric and holding peace talks with Arafat; it was all smoke and mirrors in order to fool the global community. Israeli state never wanted anything than a one-state solution - from the river to the sea.

Such irony that a narcissist is being trolled by a reflecting pool…

Erm... phew etcetera!

Starmer abandoned his 'five missions' as recommended by @mazzucatom.bsky.social and focused on 3 short-term priorities: reducing NHS waiting lists, securing the border & tackling the cost of living. But chucking money at problems doesn't solve anything in the long term! Prevention is key... 1/2

If you think £5 million could influence my policies, just imagine what £24m would do. In unrelated news, Reform will scrap net zero and drill baby drill! www.desmog.com/2026/04/30/r...

All the reactionary centrists who've arrived in a puff of sulphur to spit venom at Zack are doing a great job of proving his point that defence spending is regarded differently from other types of spending by the political media class

And the only reason they made those £billions is because they fraudulently borrowed huge sums from the banks on the stock value of their businesses, and paid themselves shareholder dividends with them, rather than spend it on new reservoirs and updated infrastructure that doesn't leak. LOCK EM UP!

We will keep cycling through the failed politicians and projects of the past until the island slides into the sea, because the purpose of governance in this country is propping up existing hierarchies to ensure nothing ever meaningfully changes*, and keeping the pig-people in their place forever.

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

'centrists' are racist authoritarians.

He’s not the Messiah! Judging by the economic experts he’s employing, he won’t change the neoliberal orthodoxy we’ve been suffering from since Thatcher. He’s a change of ‘management’, but like Starmer before him, managing a corrupt system without systematically changing it, makes you, too, corrupt.

Nesrine Malik gave the best reason as to why Starmer is universally disliked: he managed to piss everyone off somehow! Pensioners, disabled people, parents of 3+ kids, environmentalists, humanitarians, posh people with schoolkids, plus all those U-turns. The only ones he didn't piss off? Bankers.

I thought he was gonna fight and stay PM for 10 years…? 🤔

Third time lucky for the rest of us! 🤞

We told them! We said "if you stop EU nationals coming here, then instead of the Poles and Romanians you dislike so much, then you're going to have a lot more brown people coming over..." Did they listen? No.

I've got news for you, luv: There ain't a God, neither! Grow the fuck up...

Referendums = last refuge of dictators, e.g. Putin never lost one. They can be corrupted by vested interests, and as we saw with Brexit, they can be manipulated using stolen data. So, no, let's NOT have 'more' in the future; let's in fact have NONE. Instead, let's only have citizens' assemblies!

Unfortunately for us, and the future of Britain, these "top" economists are not Gary Stevenson, Richard Murphy & Grace Blakely. They are, however, the same brand of 'top' neoliberal economists who got us into this shit in the first place!

Please, don't! Make the Establishment feckers suffer...

I have compiled a simpler version. As a qualified ethnographic sociologist (yes, really!) I can assure you this is equally methodologically valid

Kudos to this lady , she is right. That is why Labour has lost support and will not gain power again. They are just puppets of their lobbyists. It's wholly corrupt and shameful. Arresting old ladies is ridiculous. No one with a heart and soul cannot unsee what is happening in Gaza and Lebanon.

We don't need to regulate which social media youngsters can access, We need to regulate the social media companies which all of us access.

a.k.a. "Rat leaves sinking ship"

If those racist rioters in Belfast had been holding Palestinian Flags they would all be terrorists and every single one would be jailed for life. Two Tier justice indeed.

For government to do nothing, while calling them "legitimate concerns", is to be complicit.

If X were a magazine, it would be banned. If it were a film, it wouldn't be distributed. If it were a person, it would be in prison.

Just drawing a Venn diagram of the Loyalists, the Far Right, and the security services. I appear to have sketched a circle.

Lib Dem here 👇 "Economical with the truth"?! Anyone remember this song...?

CORRECTION! All Water should be nationalised...

Can we not simply ban Twitter? @peterwalker99.bsky.social

I heard tell my beach bod was waiting for me at the gym. Turns out they’re very good at hiding things…

As for Farage's intervention yesterday morning, Google 'stochastic terrorism'. Plain and simple, Farage is a "terrorist"! Can't be bothered to Google? Here's a Wikipedia link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochas...

I've only experienced runner's high once... IT WAS AMAZING!

That's right! We should tax billionaires out of existence to fund benefits... And everything else.

So, Burnham = centre-left? Streeting = centre-right? Now, Jones = centre-centre? They're all neoliberals, of course! We're trapped in this vampiric, zombified, economic dogma - the one that died in the 2008 crash. Since then, it's been feeding off the rotting corpse of the British body politic...

The point is: Listening to people's concerns around the cost of living crisis, the lack of well-paid jobs, the lack of well-funded public services & healthcare, etc. BUT diverting those concerns away from blaming immigrants and directing people towards the actual reasons for inequality & poverty.

"Hands up if you're in hiding because you dug yourself into a massive hole by lying about a £5 million gift then pretending Russia hacked your phone"

^^This^^ Trump didn't come to power on a whim. Centuries of building a white supremacist nation, built on racism and misogyny, created him. Because there were a couple of decades that weren't as bad means nothing.

Wall-E origin story looks terrific.

These people are toxic narcissists and are indicative of a typical narcissistic attack, i.e. they project. Because "they" are 'power-hungry mercenaries' they don't understand how other people are not.

I find it amazing that Hinsliff asks this question without mentioning shopping addiction. The dopamine loop. The emotional link towards hoarding. Financial strain & temptation. Post-purchase guilt leading to secrecy. NS is partly to blame, though, for not allowing any outside criticism of Murrell.

Yes, and whom exactly betrayed the younger generations? Answer: Blair, Brown, their love for Thatcherism, along with Cameron, Osborne, May, Johnson, Sunak... And who's betraying them now? Yes, Starmer, Reeves et al.

Measly words? Or has Wes Streeting been reading up on Corbynism? That's how Starmer fooled the Labour membership into voting him leader in 2020... But sounds like Wes is positioning himself to the left of Burnham! They are 'just words' from Mandelson's protégé and privatisation shill, however...
