Once again, we stand in the ruins of Sensible Centrists getting absolutely everything they wanted. Smart, Sensible, Grown Up, Serious politics has lead to this farce.

Yes, isn’t it strange how general elections keep being won by frauds that the public swiftly come to despise? And none of the people who loudly said that one or both of them would be great can explain what went wrong? Just a real head-scratcher there

BBC News presenter asking Chris Mason whether McSweeney going means the heat is off Keir Starmer and Mason gave a waffling answer which ended with ‘I think the key question now is whether or not McSweeney’s departure means the heat is now off Starmer’

Let’s cut through to the actually pressing issue here. When did the LibDems become orange?

Bollards save lives. End of story. #WorldBollardAssociation

Watching dudes doing 10 rotations 8 metres in the air at 60 mph: “Wheeee!” Watching dudes swinging women about on ice skates: “Mate you’ll put your back out carrying on like that…” #Olympics

This amused me greatly 😂 especially the fox painting 😂 Thank yoooo @cheekybudgie.bsky.social

The Corbyn era gave people the idea that politics should be about improving society somewhat for everyone. Absolutely intolerable shit for the party’s Squillionaire Bribes Officer and his media friends, who teamed up in secret to wreck the fuck out of that stuff and put the crooks back in charge.

No this isn't allowed. We aren't allowed to see systemic corruption in the UK. Once the designated fall guy is picked, we must focus all our efforts into him. Pulling on too many threads runs a risk of unraveling the whole thing.

In these dark days of February, a little something to look forward to.

“Fuck me up fam!” Barber: “How badly?” “I’m DJing the Winter Olympics” Barber:”Say no more”

This is going to be the worst thing to ever happen on-stage at a TPUSA event.

BREAKING: Peter Mandelson just sent this secret notice to all UK media, demanding they leave him alone. He uses IPSO clauses designed to support grieving families in a bid to stop scrutiny of his relationship with Epstein We have published it in full. www.thenational.scot/news/2583451...

“Do you want a crest or a loo brush on your helmet” Italian Corazzieri: “Yes”

Oh boy.

I don’t want to laugh at a small business but also VERY funny

Did someone say beveragino?

BREAKING 🚨: Reform have been caught potentially cheating in the up coming Gorton & Denton by election. Residents have received a letter from a 'local pensioner'. There is no Reform Party branding on the letter

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

Although the party’s enormous membership wanted him to stay and it was the MPs who looked a right bunch of cunts, back then. Now everyone hates Sir Keir and McSweeney but can’t get rid, because the other potential leaders have been stitched up via factional bullshit or are just as badly compromised.

Sometimes you just have to repost something, it doesn’t mean you’re swearing allegiance to all the hashtags included.

“guys can we stop blathering on about the biggest scandal politics has seen in the last 20 years and start focusing on the real things that matter like what type of people get to use public toilets, and which minorities we don‘t like this election run”

This whole thread is excoriating but this one’s my favourite.

sure you might have seen my name in the big pdf that got released titled “list of draculas currently operating in the united states.” here’s why that’s NOT a big deal:

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Yes, if we want to examine the topic of “Morgan McSweeney, Peter Mandelson and destructive, deeply dishonest and highly problematic briefing campaigns to a complicit press” then I think we can probably go back a bit further than late 2024, can’t we.

Watching the Olympic snowboarding. I have nfi, but presenters having a ball, its nice. Singing Wet Wet Wet and sharing professional insights - apparently several of these guys “really love riding their snowboards”. #MilanoCortina26

What "core British values" has "the left" not defended? Can someone ask this sentient fucking saucepan what he means?

I’m at the “well this picture *might not* be AI” stage of reposting stuff.

Name them shame them

The Epstein connection vis-a-vis Labour is, in a strange way, larger than Mandelson, because it illuminates the sordid transformation of public service in to a cynical stepping-stone to cushy private sector enrichment which defines New Labour and which they will cling to—with or without Mandelson.

Honestly this is the final piece of evidence you need that the media commentariat are rotten to their core, always has been, and that maybe this is a profession or sphere of influence that humanity can do without.
