Good video, but Davey needs to work on tone a bit. Not awful by any means, but needs tweaking. The message is spot on.

Oops.

Quite.

Take heart, BBC. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-cnn-...

www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/... The problem is that Labour has allowed the 'Fighting-age Muslims swamping the country by coming in on small boats intent on raping our women and claiming benefits' narrative to gain traction and become the basis upon which immigration policy must be assessed. On

Wasn't this in the Book of Revelation as a predictor of the End Days?

GB News broadcasted a package last week on analysis of people with "foreign sounding" names. Peddling unverified and racist statistics on national TV is dangerous and we must call it out. The Liberal Democrats are calling on Ofcom to investigate and take swift action. Anna Sabine MP

2019 flashback: 'Simon, Simon; yes, that's what everyone is being led by the nose to believe, but you shouldn't SAY it.'

Why do so many people have difficulty spelling 'Zack'? It's just 'Jack' with a 'Z'.

Shapiro doesn't have the inside track on this, and he lacks the brains to work it out. There's a long-term plan here. The Heritage Foundation et al. have a strategy. Trump is the ass that they had to hitch their wagon to. They had no choice. But all this term is about, for them, is a testing...

UNLIKELY HERO OF THE WEEK!!! [Applause, fireworks etc] But let's not overdo it, eh, folks? She's still a wazzock.

Farage at school by those who knew him best: www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...

Clever reversal making a good point.

Very well said. It's the double standards that are galling here.

The trouble I have watching @zackpolanski.bsky.social Polanski make excellent points here is that I also have to listen to the garbage spouted by a Reform councillor. I much prefer listening to Polanski making a case without having to rebut racist nonsense. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Extrapolate. Unless something dramatic happens, the Green Party is poised to fill the void left by the Labour Party when it ceased to be the party of social democracy.

“They went for pensioners, they went for the disabled, and now they’re going for people fleeing war and conflict. I am furious — this government should hang their heads in shame.” Zack Polanski on Labour’s new immigration reforms on Newsnight.

My response below in the comments.

Labour MP Steve Witherden tells Shabana Mahmood that her plans to make refugees wait 20 years to apply for permanent status is "deeply concerning" "Our government should lead with compassion and fairness, not forcing some of the most vulnerable in our society to live in limbo for two decades"

“It isn’t people seeking sanctuary who are tearing our country apart. It’s toxic, racist narratives and the scapegoating of migrants for crises they did not cause.” Carla Denyer challenges the Home Secretary's new immigration reforms saying they just fuel far-right narratives.

I seriously wonder how Starmer and McSweeney thought this was what the party needed right now. Could he make a leadership challenge any more likely short of turning to his backbenchers in the middle of PMQs and shouting 'I don't want this job any longer'? It's starting to look deranged.

BBC News: "the government believe refugees are deliberately bringing their children to avoid deportation" As opposed to doing what with their children??

I was only able to watch half this 57-second video. Someone could make a mint manufacturing barf bags and advertising them on GB News.

John McDonnell on Labour's Shabana Mahmood's proposals, "I think these proposals are appalling, they have to be opposed"

Well said.

A metaphor for UK politics.

Performative cruelty must be met with performative loyalty. Welcome to Sir Keir Starmer's Labour Party, 2025.

Being photographed with Rachel Reeves is not a good look. Maybe he could get a photo op with @zackpolanski.bsky.social Zack Polanski next time?

There's a protest at the Old Bailey this Friday morning against Reform UK and Russian interference in UK politics. Demand a full investigation into Russian interference in our elections and referendums!

Interesting. The main issue aside, the headline proof of decency for Farage is 'He's been loyal to me.' I can't imagine many, if any political leaders using '... loyal to me' as their primary example of a fellow politician's finer points.

Oops.

The same goes for the bullshit merchants in the UK telling us that if the rich have to pay an extra few percent on tax - something that won't make any difference to their daily lives - they will pointlessly upheave those daily lives and go elsewhere to start anew. It's quite ridiculous.

Time to oust the McSwarmer Creature, people.

Interesting podcast. I knew little about @jamiedriscoll.bsky.social Driscoll before this. Now I'll start paying attention. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/p...

Unexpected. Farage more popular - or less unpopular - in Wales than in England. I shall now try to work out if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Late to this, but if the Sunday Times is correct that Morgan McSweeney spent one and a half hours last week with Lord Glasman then he isn't fit to fill any senior position in government.

The party needs to rid itself of the McSwarmer Creature and Labour Together more generally. If it fails to do so, it may cease to exist as a major party. Sometimes, the leadership looks to be SO corrupted by forces inimical to the party's principles that I wonder if that may be the plan.

2015 Shabana Mahmood really needs to have a word with 2025 Shabana Mahmood

How the hell does a LABOUR government get into office, then decide it has to find a match for Priti Patel and Suella Braverman?

Mind you, it could be that Bluesky reveals some hidden depths...

Given the mess the Tories made of the U.K., it should have been so easy for Labour to have been so much better. They didn’t have to be amazing, just sensible. Just bloody sensible!! And Starmer has fucked it up. How, FFS? How has he managed to fuck it up?!!?

You can tell whether you have a decent Labour MP or not by seeing if they're active on Bluesky. Many aren't even present.

Letter from Bectu union to the Culture Secretary on Robbie Gibb

An American friend warned me of this. I didn't believe him. It seemed so regressive. That said, I'm still not convinced on this occasion. I don't think a male continuity-Biden candidate would have won that election. The Democrats as a party continue to poll very low for all the Tumpery in terms...
