That's a Labour government minister berating university students and staff by saying that 'too often people go to university to "explore research and knowledge"'. I'm very glad of our students who study history to explore research and knowledge.

I just want to take some time this morning to explain why, if you're a socialist, you are obliged to support trans rights, gay rights, immigrants rights and so on. What distinguishes a socialist from a liberal philosophical is that we are universalists. We believe in a universal human dignity.

ooof

By the way, before anyone asks or suggests it, no I'm not interested in joining the Green Party. I'm a socialist, not a liberal.

This x 1000

If I had just been called a sexist boys club, I would simply not conspicuously leave the only woman MP off the signatures. Unless of course she's correct

Lmao what the fuck is going on here? Honestly- if this is Zarah trying to freeze out the reactionaries whose names appear on this list by launching it behind their backs, then quite frankly she deserves a medal for it.

Grotesque.

Wrote about the implosion of 'phase two' Starmer's government: the Mandelson affair (volume 3), the cratering numbers, the changing political system, the spectre of Farage and the resurgent right. @lrb.co.uk www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/se...

You can smell the fear from miles away.

Why is Kash Patel wearing a Liverpool FC club tie at his senate hearing?

Reminding everyone south of the Trent that Dave Allen from Doncaster is providing Boshman removal services at very reasonable rates. youtube.com/shorts/9kso-...

Starmer fanboys are not having a good time rn

WHITE HOUSE ON THE PHONE: keith… charlie kirk has been killed and we need you to issue condolences immediately STARMER: i don’t know who that is but yes sir right away sir [watching charlie kirk videos later on] oh shit… oh my god… oh fuck… this guy believes everything i do

I know the answer to this, Dave "the White Rhino" Allen, the Doncaster De La Hoya, Papi Pay-per-view, 22-7-1

The intensity of the reaction from conservatives about Charlie Kirk is 100% because they're scared shitless. One of their most high profile talking heads just got smoked and every one of them knows it could be them next. It's fear, raw animal fear.

Personally, the fact Adnan Hussain is whinging and crying like this about "student politics" is Good. This is precisely what I want to see and bodes well for future.

This has been the case for as long as Mandelson has been in post. The adamantium-reinforced omertà around this man and the relationship with his belt-shopping "best pal" is the best evidence available of the wheel spinning as it should.

Literally cannot see what they've meant to have done wrong here? My expectations aren't particularly high for this project, but what specifically is the problem here? That Sultana went to speak to Jamie Driscoll?

Ken Loach's Guest House Paradiso

That was a pathetic alert I wouldn't get out of bed for that

The only comment I'm gonna make on this, and on any Corbyn party related nonsense, is that our job remains the same as it was from the day it was announced. We get in there, organise, and take it off these old trots and grifters who are hanging around like a fly round shit.

🚨New Research 🚨 Ahead of the release of Wave 30 of the BES Internet Panel, the team has examined Labour's decline since the 2024 GE. Labour's support has splintered into mostly indecision or left-liberal parties, but they've also lost their few right-wing voters. 🧵⬇️ tinyurl.com/3m62exph

I really fancy a big ol' Labour thread, just wallow in some abject self-abasement and talk about Labour stuff for ages.

Hot take. DSA should stand against the Democrats as an independent party.

In the UK, you should be emboldened by the fact that despite an entire summer of concentrated incitement from the press, with all 3 major parties in a bidding war over who can be the most openly racist, the actual presence the far right has been able to put onto the streets has been shit.

I remember people telling me in the Brexit wars that Yvette Cooper was the person to lead and secure a second referendum. I’d show them her election leaflet vowing to Get Brexit Done, and it would just bounce ineffectually off their heads. Like flicking a pingpong ball at a hippo.

Part of the reason why Yanks like to have a go at British food is because a lot of them, even progressive ones, have a racist itch they gotta scratch, what with settler-colonialism etc, and they settle on Britain because, in their minds, it is an all-white Harry Potter land theme park.

Americans have been doing their Joke again 🙄

This won't happen because the Democrats would 100% side with Trump to stop it. Absolutely no chance.

"I'm a teetotal alcoholic" he writes, whilst seething about the Jam Grandad's Secret Hamas Allotment

People who are still pissed with the Lib Dems about their role allying with the Tories in 2010 are amateurs. I'm still raging with the fuckers for the Poor Law Amendment Act (1834) bringing in the workhouse for poor people.

Intel should be nationalised. Not 10% of it - all of it.

Oh Brother Where Art Thou gave me a deep and abiding love for bluegrass and other "old timey" American music that I otherwise would never have come across

There's a palpable sense of disappointment from the far-right press that these protests haven't been bigger or led to any deaths.

Oh man what a fucking loss

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

Why do all nuclear war scenarios start with someone firing missiles at the US and the US president having to make that decision in so many minutes? I think it's totally unrealistic - the US will strike first if it ever comes to it.

The people who hung this banner outside the Labour headquarters have been arrested and will face trial in the UK in January. These are the extreme Orwellian measures Western governments must take to normalize Israel's genocide and war crimes.

One of the most inhumane and ghoulish things I have ever seen on here.

How long before Labour MP's are going on TV calling for ethnic cleansing and pogroms? Weeks? Months?

I was really hoping this day wouldn't come, but it has. It's rent day, and once that money goes out I will have no money for bills, food or anything else. If you have enjoyed any of my posts or writing and have a few quid to spare, I would really appreciate your generosity. paypal.me/fcknyh

There is a genre of commentary of this type which flirts with the idea of nuclear war with Russia, but doesn't have the guts or the honesty to say it outright with their full chest. "Stop them" how Jessica? How do you propose the Russian land forces in Donbass?

Problem here is there's so much money invested in AI that it is too big to fail, and if necessary the government will either agree to bail out any AI venture with no backstop (like 2008) or they'll legislate to mandate the use of AI to keep the economy from collapsing.

Seems like a weird thing to have happened to incredibly talented politicians with smart ideas, who understand and directly address the concerns of the average person. Can someone who is paid to explain politics to the public please walk us through how this happened, within 14 months

Hahahaha

Wew, that Moses Itauma is pretty special, eh?
