Do you remember when the BBC made a massive deal out of "BBC Verify", its fact checking arm? Weird how this kind of inflammatory nazi shit isn't in their job description, isn't it? Almost as if we were right to mock it.

"Around the time of her appointment, she had worked for or held shares in a total of 12 companies that benefited from public contracts with DHSC and related health organisations. "At the time the Palantir contract was agreed, she was lead non-executive director on the health department’s board."

It would be a real shame for this to sneak out unnoticed late on a Friday night so please be public spirited and spread the word. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sheer hilarity

Stop pretending that "social media influencer" is some kind of legitimate profession.

Yes, this is going to keep happening because as far as I can tell, the average Israeli punter does not understand that it looks bad if you cackle “LOL kill them all” into cameras, because more or less the whole society has been deliberately and wildly radicalised to that over decades.

Why are Labour short of money for essential investment? Where could they possibly find more money?

If I could expunge one term from the dictionary, it would be "UK PLC". A company can be bought or sold. It can go bust, be wound up or taken over. It has no higher ethical purpose than profit. It relates to people as customers & shareholders, who can & do move on. None of this is true of a nation.

There is no such thing as 'UK plc'. Just as Meta et al are not nation states.

I guarantee you that while Labour has received zero political upside from any of the transport infrastructure they have announced, people will kick off when any of it gets cancelled. (See, for reference, Rishi Sunak cutting HS2 and immediately inverting support/oppose)

These are reallocation of capital budgets rather than the (I agree, unfeasible and undeliverable) day to day cuts pencilled for 2027-9, but IMO one problem with the politics of infrastructure is that no-one thanks you for starting it but everyone gets annoyed when you cancel it.

By my count there have been at least three opportunities for Labour to properly blame Hunt for unaffordable tax cuts and reverse the decision in the interest of national and energy security: when they found the fiscal black hole; when Trump started threatening NATO; and when the Iran war started.

Maybe this time cutting capital spending on the long term infrastructure the country desperately needs to maintain its competitiveness and prosperity will work out well.

Your periodic reminder that Jeremy Hunt’s utterly cynical, completely unaffordable, salt the earth for the incoming government tax cuts cost £20bn a year. www.thetimes.com/article/cc86...

The departmental budgets for the last two years of this parliament weren't credible even before these cuts – unless you think a Labour gov would go into an election having frozen or cut most gov services for two years pre-election. So now we're cutting those budgets further? Sure we are.

Of the many crimes of the wealthy elite in this country, the cruelty, soullessness and barbarism of destroying beautiful, majestic and often endangered creatures JUST SO SOME INBRED SOCIOPATHS HAVE MORE BIRDS TO SHOOT ON THEIR HUGE SWATHES OF LAND really fucking gets to me

This is at least the third article the BBC has published this week asking whether Farage and Reform are right that "two tier" anti-white policing exists, despite the overwhelming evidence that it doesn't. Quite incredible www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-bbcs-t...

Reform UK’s Councillor Bill Blackett, Herrington & Newbottle, Sunderland. Seems to have conveniently deleted this from his Facebook. Wonder why?

The publics of western democracies have an unfavourable view of Israel, most at 70% or more. Yet, in these same "democracies", such as the UK, the vast majority of politicians actively support aiding Israel's continuing genocidal slaughter in Gaza.

It's pretty gracious of him to show up at all, given that his side lost.

What Hegseth considers dangerous ideologies — equality, empathy, diversity, accountability, truth.

Upon arrival in the EU in the long (we got our sovereignty back) passport queue, I imagine dark suited Americans tapping away on screens in a remote room - as I get to passport control (after an hour because 350 million a week to the NHS) the agents look up; Jason Bourne just popped up on the grid…

More travel. More waiting in hot pipes. Two scenes always play out. The first - as we take off I imagine Shawn Flynn struggling with the control column, suddenly shot in the foot, just managing to escape with the other Wild Geese. (Oh there’s more…)

Again, the people saying this stuff may be "influential figures on the right" but what they really are is racists and in some cases Nazis. It's not your job as a public service broadcaster to both sides Nazism

I heard Funkadelic once in Morrison's. Tewkesbury has not, generally, got The Funk.

Any senior politician who publicly explains what happened here would be as well rifling their own bins, revealing their own past indiscretions and denouncing their own sexual and financial scandals, before firing themselves. And it’ll be like that for decades, now.

Should Burnham speak up about what his colleagues did? Yes, everyone who served in this government and the previous one should speak plainly about it. And anyone who does speak up will, within about three days, be made to wish they had kept quiet instead, or stepped in front of a speeding car.

No senior Labour or Tory politician is going to speak plainly about what happened here, because doing so will stick colleagues in the frame for public shaming and probably police investigations. And I don’t mean they’ll have to keep quiet now, I mean “for the next fifty years”.

"Women's health clinics offering breast screenings would be unable to provide this service to trans women. This is despite the fact that trans women who have had more than five years of Gender-Affirming Hormons Therapy (GHAT) are forty-seven times more likely to develop breast cancer than men"

This is great. "If you can’t be bothered to write it, why should anyone be bothered to read it?" is spot on.
