Why can't Starmer say this sort of stuff?

The most terrifying thing about the Reform/MEGA surge w/ regards to the US isn't that so many British voters don't see the cruelty, illegality, authoritarian overreach, white Christian nationalism, bullying, incompetence etc - it's that they do see it and want it.

Pauvre con.

It's almost as if Mosley-Farage has hate, racism, lies and xenophobia coursing through his rancid bloodstream. Almost as if he were a genuinely evil, hollowed-out shell of a human masquerading as Mr Everyman, who is intent on dragging his country into the moral sewer that he inhabits.

Señor Tough Guy Chainsaw Man not looking so tough nowadays. Mired in corruption along with his crooked sister. Argentinian economy going down the tubes. Forced to seek help from the psycho who just humiliated America once again in front of the world. Triste.

These agents should never know a moment’s peace. I think what is uniquely sadistic about them is how much fun they are having.

The malignant cruelty that Farage proposed today will transform the UK into a moral abyss where anything is possible. It will wreck our society and turn into something hideous and monstrous.

To those who are shocked by MAGA'S supposed pivot away from free speech, this from Goebbels really does capture the spirit of what is happening now. America hurtling towards tyranny at terrifying speed. open.substack.com/pub/mattcarr...

Fed up with the fake canonisation of Charlie Kirk? Read my piece on MAGA's Reichstag Moment:https://open.substack.com/pub/mattcarr/p/murder-in-the-madhouse?r=rgmer&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

Another gross act of cowardice from a US media that only speaks truth to power until power goes 'woof!'

If I hear another liberal journalist say the Reform/Robinsonites have nowhere to because 'no one listens to them', my face may melt. No one listens to me, but I don't feel the need to follow criminals and racist grifters calling for mass deportations and demonising refugees as sexual predators.

These evil stupid bastards. What have you done, America?

Still waiting for Starmer.

Through a haze of dope and ketamine, Elon Musk is actively inciting violence in the UK, just as he did last summer. A government with any gumption would surely take action? Like ban X. As Brazil did in 2024?

Follow the 'free speech' logic - liberal criticism of conservatives is reponsible for violence against them - but it's an unacceptable limit on free speech for the UK to criminalise people who directly call for burning asylum-seekers to death

Pity Starmer. If he sacks the man who he should never have appointed, for associating with a pedophile, he will still have to welcome the state visit from a pedophile he should never have invited. Grim.

So profoundly sick of these despicable people.

Either Trump knew that Israel was going to kill the Hamas negotiators in Doha, in which he is complicit in a savage violation of diplomatic norms that was clearly designed to prevent a ceasefire. Or he didn't know, in which case he is a brainless sap who doesn't have a clue who is dealing with.

Sleaze sticks to Mandelson whatever he does and wherever he goes.

The abject cruelty, the displays of violence, the abusive language, the reveling in human suffering, the decimation of reality, the blatant corruption and crimes, the shredding of the safety net It's all meant to shift how we perceive the world and normalize authoritarianism and erase human dignity

Chris Grey is back. Once again delivering the sharp and nuanced analysis of the 'Brexitism' underpinning and driving our ever- more deranged politics.

These are the bastards who Farage and Co have been inciting. Also, the bastards who Labour is courting.

What do Jenrick, Farage, Goodwin, the Telegraph etc think will be the consequences of their actions? And what does Starmer think will be the consequence of his inaction?

Police responding to tip off of voter without Union Jack in the bedroom and St George bunting in bedroom...

More gutter politics from Labour. 'Put up flags everywhere and put humans in warehouses' - both these things are related - expressions of the same dire 'tough/patriotic' messaging that is leading to disaster. Incredible that Labour can sink this low.

'It’s about whose side you’re on’, Farage brayed last week. This, at least, is true. And a country that aspires to even the most basic norms of morality, legality and decency should not be on the side of the Pied Piper of Clacton and his band of bastards... mattcarr.substack.com/p/the-uks-ro...

Cometh the hour, cometh this 'humanitarian' ghoul.

In trying to emulate the Far Right the Starmer Labour Party will lose the liberal and leftish voters that helped win it the 2024 election and fail to gain the right-wing voters that didn't vote for it then and never will in future

Labour showing precisely the kind of moral leadership that is driving the country into the gutter.

Today, in particular, is a good day to recoil in disgust from rich fascists who whip up hatred and promise deportations. open.substack.com/pub/mattcarr...

So Labour’s response to the fascistic evil of Mosley-Farage's deportation policies is basically 'people are right to think that asylum seekers are putting pressure on public services, but Farage has no practical policies to get rid of them, unlike us.' The opposite of moral leadership.

Chile’s Atacama Desert has become a dumping ground for fast fashion waste. Mountains of unsold clothes pile up, creating toxic conditions. A local youth collective, Desierto Vestido, is fighting to expose the crisis, demand accountability, and develop circular solutions. ✏️ @mattcarr.substack.com

Despicable and entirely par for the course.

Only one institution in this country more gutless than the government, and that is the BBC. Wouldn't say boo to a Tory goose... even when the goose is whipping up xenophobic for political gain.

Just googled 'UK government condemns assassination of Anas al-Sharif'. Result? Nothing. Amnesty. UN. NUJ. UNISON. But not a word from HMG. Which makes them cowardly despicable bastards.

America so deeply in the white supremacist gutter right now

This former model, with no background in history, has been put in charge of curating what is "appropriate" at the National Museum of African American History.

My wife shared this with me and I’m tellin you… it’s worth the read.

Pity the poor Labour Trump whisperers. You woo the bastards. You go (illegally) fishing with them. You bond with them, and then they fuck you over. Who'd have been thought?https://mattcarr.substack.com/p/twilight-of-the-trump-whisperers

Moral courage means recognising you've made a terrible mistake. Cowardice means doubling down on the mistake because you're afraid of humiliation. It will end in tears for Labour, and deservedly so.

And another on.ft.com/4oyrV9S

Today's Palestine Action arrests of peaceful protesters are the result of epic cowardice and moral failure from Labour. This grotesque and ridiculous law will not stand. Labour will be humiliated. Staggering that Labour could have been stupid enough to do this.

oh wow would you look at that? Kier finds the most disgusting way forward possible
