Last week the far right started peddling a narrative that the outrage over Epstein is a moral panic. Today, like clockwork, a more polite version of that narrative appears in the Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Labour's favourite example of delivery is a policy the leadership refused to support, removed the whip from 7 of their MPs for rebelling against & then only reluctantly conceded to implement bc huge public backlash against their stubborn cruelty was costing them support. It was never abt poor kids

Israel defenders: Israel has no genocidal intent Israeli media:

“Mainly white, working class, young, male) Rooted Patriots” u k hun? More In Common is a menace 😭

Keir starmer cum jar

The energy vampire from What We Do in the Shadows describing his latest meal:

Do you know how a ratchet works, Tom? "A ratchet is a mechanical device that allows movement in one direction while preventing it in the opposite direction"

If I wanted to win a by election I would definitely get Akehurst out there knocking on doors.

ah this is the skilled media operator weve all been told about

LOL. Being "consistently pro-Palestine" here does not mean what it means to you & me. It means "continuing to support Israel to the hilt bt occasionally shaking my head throughout the genocide to show I disagree with a few esp egregious esp heinous war crimes for later plausible deniability"

This is incredibly funny to try because even if it *was* true, then it would mean Streeting was defending Mandleson in September for the love of the game.

Once again - if you are defending Starmer as a “decent” man, you are defending adopting and otherwise normalising right wing policies as “sensible” and “necessary”. You are defending transphobia, ableism, racism, and xenophobia as acceptable policies. Don’t fucking deny it, own up to it.

Tim Allan may be getting less attention than Morgan McSweeney, but his links raised serious questions - and they’re part of the wider pattern of questionable appointments. This isn’t really about individuals. It’s about the state of the Labour Party. news.sky.com/story/invest...

The first message, "I'm worried about being unable to hold my seat at the next GE" is directly related to the last, "Israel is committing war crimes". This is pure succession & survival maneuvers from Wesley

[Thumping the tables wildly & stomping their feet, roaring]: Keith! Keith! Keith! Keith! Keith! Keith!

The only people this'll appeal to is retired homeowners with brains fried by daytime telly & powered exclusively by furious spite & bitter resentment that someone, somewhere, enjoyed an extra choccy bickie with their mid morning coffee bc their kitchen is walking distance from their home workstation

Once again: Keir Starmer has ruined something not just for Britain, but for the entire world.

The entire internet had seen the picture of Mandleson and Epstein trying on belts when he was given the ambassadorship. There is absolutely no way Starmer didn't know more than us, and we knew enough to know this was a disgusting choice. The best you an say about him is he is craven idiot.

So I guess these are the three with the sharpened knives.

I suspect for most of us this is the first we're hearing of it, which does raise the question as to why it wasn't more widely remarked upon in the media at the time it was initially reported

It's Reform or Reform-lite: thems your choices so sup it up pig people

these are people who’ve read the blurb but haven’t read even one page of the actual book

What's that you say, Anas? That you tweeted this last year in 2025 about your 'old friend' Peter Mandelson and now you think Starmer should resign but you should keep your job?

Another fucking crook, gifted a seat in the lords so she could be brought into Starmer's government as reward for her part in Corbyn's removal. Why aren't we investigating them all?

It'd never happen. Too many people feel entitled to the party and are far more interested in factionalism than actually improving people's lives. Labour doesn't care about PR it wants to maintain the status quo.

Most Labour shaggers don't even bother denying that they support diet fascist policies anymore and their only comeback is "well Reform will be worse". Dickhead I'm not voting for your fascists

Something is going on here, I just can't put my finger on it

"We've lost Anas Sarwar!"

It was in The Fraud as well; Paul Holden specifically names Simons as being behind hiring some people to try and find dirt on him. As you say, journalists who at times can get information on how left-wing the biscuits were that were served at a branch meeting saying bugger all about this

He’s right of course that the tax will be on wealth, represented by assets here that will be taxed on whoever’s hands they are in.

Listen out for the silences & where they're coming from surrounding this story. It is highly telling which big platform commentators & opinion havers in & around Labour who are usually very vocal on most things haven't uttered a squeak about this huge story

We will advance! Once General Steiner gets here we will smash the opposition and reinstate all the tax credits and Palantir contracts.

It’d be more accurate to say Starmer was elected by lying like fuck to audience after audience about his intentions, and it looks very much like a big chunk of the press were very well aware that he was lying and declined to inform the public. In that sense, yes, Streeting is the natural successor.

Its funny whenever there's a resignation from Labour. It's always 'respected smoother Sleve McDichael steps down. MPs express their dismay.' and a 5 minute google search reveals Sleve chummy with every hard-right lobbying group Tufton Street shits out.

In the middle of a moral panic about sex trafficking so intense that I can't advertise a book about medieval history online and no one can access prom anymore, Labour's best and brightest are desperate to get on TV and let you know actually it is fine if rich people do it to poor girls.

It is in the interests of those who profit from exploitation, disadvantage and insecurity, and especially in the interests of those who wish to expand the people who can be made insecure and exploitable still further in the future.

Creating a substantial class of people who may never be able to settle, or who only do so after half a lifetime, is in no-one’s interests, leaving people open to exploitation, disadvantage and insecurity and reducing social cohesion. If anything, settlement should be easier, not harder to obtain.

The doubling of time to get permanent residency is an amoral act of cruelty against people. The fact politicians like Mahmood think this is acceptable shows why she and those who support her shouldn’t be anywhere near power. This would make the UK’s scheme the most strict in Europe.

All the Briefcases regard McSweeney as a genius bc he told them all what they wanted to hear: purge the left that they hate & impose reactionary & racist policies that they all love

"Hello, my name is Vidhya Alakeson and Jill Cuthbertson"

He has completed his soul searching this w/e and has will be fighting the general election in 2029, and be delivering five new AI growth zones surrounding a youth centre in Rhyl.

Greens will soon enough replace Labour as the party of choice for some trade unions

Its wild to see members of the PLP say 'we simply wouldn't have won without McSweeney.' Lads, you were shooting fish in a very small mug. A magic 8 ball could orchestrate a win over 2024's tories. The reason you are facing an existential crisis right now tho is McSweeney.

The fucking ARROGANCE of Labour asking the Greens to step down in Gorton.
