Siri, define LMFAO.

Between Burnham pre-emptively promising to be no more than accent Starmer, Harman being brought out of cryogenesis to remind you there is no alternative, and now Blair popping up to insist the only way is his one, I don’t how much clearer it could be made that we are hostage to a dead consensus.

I can't think of anyone less relevant to current British politics than Tony Blair

interviewer: how are your listening skills? me: absolutely

interviewer: it says here you’re not afraid to challenge authority me: no it doesn’t

This policy is evil. Genuinely evil. Yet it has received no serious media scrutiny.

Every food has someone who claims it's better crispy. There's a guy out there trying to make soup crispy I guarantee it

Fair play that’s the most annoying thing I’ve ever seen

I don't remember who first post it, I know it's been stolen thousands of times, but I still think about "Diana going home with a chippy tea"

Today, on the ninth anniversary of the Manchester Arena terror attack, we remember the 22 innocent lives lost. Our thoughts are with everyone affected - survivors, families, and communities across Manchester and beyond. Manchester stands together, today and always. 🐝

[before pepper spray was invented] Cop: *holds pepper grinder in suspect's face* Say when.

The fundamental lie at the heart of British politics is that the results of 'immigration' (degraded services, low wages, social declinism etc) are not *caused* by immigration - they're caused by the rampant neoliberal elite. Any leader not willing to engage with this fact will be crushed by events.

If someone died at the very top of a water slide, would you respectfully carry them back down all those stairs or would you push them down the slide?

The worst part of seeing my grandfather get run over while crossing the street is knowing that I have failed this driving exam.

Such an awful debate in every respect. We don't want young people with aspirations. University might be bad for you. Was good for us the successful ones but you don't deserve the same. Mostly because governments have made a mess of financing.

Nice reminder to what remains of the Starmer project that there might be an easier way of "winning over Reform voters" that doesn't entail bragging about robbing refugees of their personal possessions in militarised detention centres.

“We deliberately sold as much of our capacity to rich people as we could and forced you to rent it from them, as a way of permanently shrivelling and crippling the scope of democracy” - sounds bad, like people should be in jail. “People are on their phones too much” - way better, highly preferable

It is IMO not much more complicated than: when the financial crisis obliterated Thatcherism as a viable model of governance, our ruling class chose Johnson, Starmer and finally Farage as infinitely preferable to admitting what they had done to the public.

All other countries have the same message on their screens. #Eurovision

Finally, Ronald Reagan can rest in peace, knowing that children will no longer have to learn that some white people were the bad guys in that whole slavery thing.

I have been lectured to my entire life that the greatest sin in politics is to look down on these cosmically ignorant fuckwits, or to hold them accountable for their decisions. We're just supposed to flatter their Illusions and dutifully repair all the shit they destroy.

gonna be sporting and give tim a five minute head start

We certainly are a fight for the soul of this country, and the Labour Party has mostly been on the wrong side of it

Happy anniversary to the launch of Labour's 2017 manifesto, when Laura Kuenssberg used the exact same language as the Conservative Party website to describe it:

"And he has Wesigned you say?"

So Streeting’s choice is either to trigger a leadership contest he cannot win, or to effectively stand down as a diminished political figure Brandishing a banana would, at this point, probably have been the more dignified option

I’m still a bit confused about how details of her personal financial arrangements could have made it into the newspapers without money changing hands, but maybe it’s like that video of Matt Hancock necking his mistress in his private office: just one of those things that happens sometimes.

every briton i know would froth at the mouth for a party and leader that actually works to ensure the next year wont be quite as shit as the one preceding it. the bar is on the fucking floor. the UK might be the most governable country in the world, its just that Managed Decline will no longer do

This illustrates everything wrong with Starmer's government: caving in the face of corporate power, putting oligarchs ahead of children's wellbeing, dithering, breaking promises, leaving us unprotected. Yet commentators claim to be mystified by his unpopularity. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Here's the problem. The twat *doesn't* face serious questions, about anything, from anyone, media or regulators. He bats them off and our spineless or approving msm let him.

obviously I hate Reform and the Tories because they're the natural enemy of everything I believe in, but I *despise* the Labour right because they have sabotaged any possibility of an alternative from within, and salted the earth behind them, out of sheer petty vindictiveness

of course all the chaos is funny and I'm glad that Keir Starmer, a bad person, is having a bad time. but jfc what a waste of two years, what a waste of a majority, what a waste of a once in a generation window to improve things. and now it's just 24/7 infighting, briefing, backstabbing. pathetic

STOP SPOILING FOOTBALL! #VAR

It’s astounding how much of European history has entailed people with reactionary, right-wing politics using Jewish people as footballs, one way or another, toward selfish, cynical ends, in ways that inevitably endanger Jewish people themselves. This latest cycle of barrel-scraping is despicable.

Should have thought about that before pissing away every progressive voter, son.

If you like data, here is something interesting for you: Bridget Phillipson interview on LK: 9m 40" LK number of interruptions/talking over: 31 Richard Tice interview on LK: 8m 23" LK number of interruptions/talking over: 9

Reform’s “failure” to exclude open racists isn’t accidental. “Racism is overblown” is its DNA. It took in Lee Anderson after Tories expelled him for racism. They want & need racist votes. And - as Starmer & Mahmood legitimise anti-migrant racism - Reform needs to up its game to chase those votes.

BTW, Labour supporters saying ‘give them time, you can’t turn everything round in two years’ can bugger off. They haven’t tried to turn things round. They’ve tried to make them worse. Nastier, worse immigration policies. Repeated ‘red lines’. Reinforcing the lies to help Farage.

Labour told the likes of me to fuck off. I fucked off. They lost my vote, the ward I’m in, and control of the city council.

It’s World Ovarian Cancer Day today, so please forgive me banging on even more than usual. The most important thing is how vague and tricky the symptoms are - but that once you know, tests can be quite straightforward. Here’s a good place to start: targetovariancancer.org.uk/about-ovaria...

As previously noted: do we not think it’s weird that the main left party is dominated by very right wing professional class cranks who quite openly despise their colleagues and members, and work to disempower and insult them? And that the national press goes crazy, if those people are ever removed.

Is xenophobia morally acceptable? No. But will it improve your country's economy? Also no. Will it at least earn you the votes of those people who would never vote for you? Still no.

Congratulations Reform voters: There will still be brown people on your telly, but now your bin won't be collected.

Is there anything to be said for bringing back Peter Mandelson?

Broadband, water, energy - it's going up and up, and they're controlled by private companies who take your money and deliver a shit service and when they really screw you, no one cares. So what are you paying taxes for? Isn't it so the government can make sure you're treated fairly?

Wow, I can't believe Labour's tactic of yelling "DON'T VOTE FOR THESE GREEN CUNTS, THEY'RE DANGEROUS, VOTE FOR US, WE HATE IMMIGRANTS IN A BETTER WAY THAN REFORM!" hasn't led to them keeping all their council seats.
