How very Labour to punish ordinary people for being exploited by their employers instead of, y'know, going after the employers

The poor polprofs

What stage of capitalism is this

Its actually quite remarkable that Starmer is *so* shit that the multi year wrecking project, the expulsion of thousands of Labour Party members for being too left wing, and the utter collapse of the party's membership still weren't enough to overcome it

THE MEME IS REAL

You just know his response to this would be "well if everybody hates me I must be doing something right 😏"

once you understand that these ppl are all related, all married, and they all go to the same dinner parties and events it becomes very clear just how this country became such a shithole so quickly also why there’s no diversity of thought in our media or political class. they all think the same shit

Oi mate ave you got a loicence for breathing that oxygen?

To give a schematic overview of the past decade, the ZIRP era empowered Silicon Valley to build wealth and infrastructure equivalent to micro-states, which our neoliberal leaders, allergic as they are to the idea of state intervention, were all too happy to facilitate. (cont.)

It won't keep him out of the Hague.

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

Personally I'm not joining any political party again after what happened the last time, and all this drama is a good reinforcer of that decision Greens would have to consistently demonstrate there wont be any of this shite before I would consider it

Here's what an 11% approval rating actually means in the context of British politics: You could ask a room full of ten people whether they approve of the Labour Party, and the only person who'd say yes is the person taking the poll lol

Massive 'hats off' to everyone involved in stoking this shit. Beautifully played.

None as brittle as the hack journo

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

Starmer saying he has full confidence in Mandelson is the strongest possible indicator that he'll be gone by the end of the week

A couple weeks ago they were saying using a VPN makes you Jimmy Savile

ONLINE LEFTIST: what if we tried to find a candidate that's good ONLINE LIBERAL: congratulations your attitude just killed us all. we're dead. hope you're happy. we could've just had trans people be dead but nooooo you and your purity tests put a gun to our heads and squeezed. enjoy the camps homo 🖕

so the only legislative victories of labour, the uk's "centre-left" party are thus far 1. legal to kill grandma 2. all trans people banned 3. like 65% of all adults are now technically terrorists 4. do you have a loicense to read wikipedia

On the Rest is Politics, the lads wrestle with a hypothetical choice between Corbyn & Farage, and grudgingly opt for the former. Alastair plays this message from a Very Sensible Newly Politically Homeless (LOL) Centrist listener. Rory agrees that this is a profound dilemma for Moderates.

"Delete all your old photos, we need that space to scan your current face so you can use Wikipedia"

This will go to the ECHR which will strike it down, thus giving Labour the excuse it needs to leave the convention.

To be fair not even I had thought "bringing back the poll tax" would be on their cards but its not that surprising

Yes, I suppose it would be difficult for him to do something that he has no interest, desire, or intent to do

There will be more

RIP Jean Charles de Menezes - 20 years ago today

Elderly people and pensioners putting themselves on the line, accepting arrest and even imprisonment for the cause of Palestine, is indicative not of the movement’s radicalisation, but of its normalisation and absorption by regular people. It is the state that is radicalising to try and suppress it.

BBC now doing propaganda for *checks notes* the universally despised private water companies

Because he's an obsequious little toady.

We are the mistle on the gum We put the hammer to our thumb youtu.be/WsJ0E23mloc?...

The face I'm submitting to bluesky for verification

Once again it feels nonsense to be told we have to “balance the books” short term when up to 2015 my taxes went to paying off the compensation given to the owners of enslaved people in the 1830s

Nothing matters to these stupid hack sacks of shit until it affects them personally eh

Been in contact with the FA about their new trans participation policy and they sent me the requirements for trans men to play men’s football, which includes signing this. “I am a biological female whose gender identity is male” 🤢🤢🤢 No, I am a man.

Was at the Spectator summer party this evening

Aside from prioritising your personal beefs over public welfare looking very bad, I also note that the idea lots of these people “fought Corbyn for five years” is a crazed conspiracy theory believed only by the stupid and insane, one that may be putting MPs’ safety at risk.

Hadn't heard of Bob Vylan before this weekend and now I'm listening to them so congrats to the screeching media-political complex for that xx

The IDF killed three British aid workers last year. The UK refuses to investigate Israel for killing its citizens but will investigate British people for cursing the IDF www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

well well well

You’ll recall that the cancelled second phase of the Leveson Inquiry - cancelled by the government, because the press and the police both demanded it - was intended to examine overly chummy and probably corrupt relationships between government, press and police.

I will just leave this here

*starmer cranking up the war dial, looking back at the audience, sweating profusely as it has no effect on the line climbing*

It certainly doesn't bode well for Labour's openly-declared electoral strategy of going hard right and telling any left dissenters they've got nowhere else to go if they want to defeat Farage that they apparently couldn't even make it work against their own gutless MPs.

Astute observers will note that neither Priti Patel nor Suella Braverman did this.

sensational

Would you say his knowledge of court cases is Forensic?
