"We need to attack the left harder" claim dead eyed, morally vacuous careerists as they haemorrhage supporters

Like has he read his own twitter feed

the whole process already has a "good character" requirement (that's extremely vague). they already make you jump through so many hoops before you can become a UK citizen and it's EXPENSIVE. but that's still not enough for these demons

They've spent decades making institutions that function as ways to stop the most powerful from having to deal with any kind of consequence. I have witnessed them get less accountable with every passing year. Why should I have anything to do with them? Why should I not seek to dismantle them instead?

The barbarism of the west is infinite

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

I said this during the Labour leadership contest in 2020. It's one thing to be conned by some smooth-talking canny operator. But by this sentient briefcase? Embarrassing for all concerned.

This idea migrants have to “earn” the right to be treated with some degree of fairness and dignity has been an obsession of the Labour right for ages, but never implemented bc no-one can decide what “contributing to society” amounts to or how you assess it - link to thread about this in next post >

That’s nice will ticket prices go down i’m being quoted £200 off peak to Edinburgh

Again there is no money for a postal service that works, for railways, buses, for libraries, for housing, for your collapsing council, for care, for paying civil servants, for the NHS. There are billions for tech firms for a OPTIONAL ID card for British Citizens.

“Let’s call it for what it is: bullshit. The truth is, politicians have talked about little else but immigration for decades and in the most dehumanising ways. Polanski added: “Stop the boats’ is all we hear. Well, today I'm saying ‘stop the bullshit’.” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

She had to drop the “half Indian” thing into the convo as if that means anything when you’re there to defend your racist leader

@adilray.bsky.social : "we've seen a rise in attacks on mosques & Muslim women in Hijabs being attacked. Do you think in that speech today our PM should address those issues.. & give words of comfort to the Muslim community & other marginalised communities" Nandy: "We've already done that"

Everyone: What's government doing about the cost of living crisis, the climate crisis, and the unfolding genocide in Gaza? Labour: "We will mandate people carry Brit cards". This government's priorities are painfully out of touch and increasingly authoritarian.

UK: pls can we have a crumb of affordable homes and non-cost-of-living-crisis Starmer: so you're saying you want *spins wheel* ID cards

words can never express how much i despise this cunt

The "Brit Card". Could they make it any more dogwhistly? Also, fundamentally ignores that undocumented workers already, drum roll please, lack documents. Adding another one makes little difference, but does make it harder for people to escape exploitation. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

new scam going around where they hire you for a job but pay you less than the value your labor produced

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

Autistic kids are being killed/harmed by their parents but we’re supposed to focus on Tylenol 😬 Maybe focus on funding support services and making sure autistic people have lifelong, high quality support? And treat them with actual respect and dignity?

The takeaway from the BBC investigation into people stuck in hotels with no space struggling to eat and live is to make their lives more difficult

me: longing for the days when i could just...buy a lightbulb without feeling the need to read every review also me: completely unable to do that without mild panic setting in about making the "wrong" decision 😬

UK pals: anecdotally noticing an uptick in the number of people saying they've caught covid lately. Now's a good time to mask up if you weren't doing so before thefacemaskstore.co.uk will get you right. Fit is personal but I like the 3M Aura, Laianzhi KN100 and Project Trident FFP3 (reg. extended)

Why the need to preannounce this? “One of these days, we shall start fighting against fascism properly. As soon as the focus group feedback has been analysed, we’ll take a principled stand.”

it's not possibly for keir starmer to launch a 'progressive fightback' bcos keir starmer is a regressive and a massive bigot.

Today the BBC reported on asylum seekers relying on home office-funded taxis to get around. But as I heard when I visited Bristol City of Sanctuary, this isn't the reality for many - it's being forced to walk for hours to get to appointments, sometimes with kids, or miss out on essentials.

Donald Trump has banned 'Antifa'. People are missing the point, saying how do you ban something that doesn't exist? The point is that now anybody can be labelled Antifa and treated like a terrorist. Just watch, Hitler passed the same laws the day after the Reichstag fire.

This is the sign my 6 year old has put up in his room 🤣🥰

Keir Starmer: “we hate immigrants they’ve caused incalculable damage” Also Keir Starmer: “why don’t immigrants want to come and work here? 😌”

Oh my fucking Christ stop with this empty 'but how?' retort. You can't oppose fascism by pulling apart the logistics. It doesn't matter that it would be impractical, or expensive. The cruelty is the motive, payment and reward. Everything else is irrelevant.

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

Every genocide is a process, not a singular event. Every genocide is committed according to what is seen as feasible and possible at any given time. Israel wants all Palestinians gone from historic Palestine, and it works backwards from that point.

The Israeli state is openly committed to removing the entire surviving Palestinian population from Gaza, which it has destroyed. With the West Bank, it plans to expand illegal settlements and make life for Palestinians there intolerable, until it can get rid of them all, too.

Christ on a bike. Keir Starmer can't even manage a red blooded, full throated denouncement of the Reform announcement to not only abolish ILR, but to remove granted status retrospectively. Absolutely pitiful.

Sick of this “kindly white Labour party members bestowed anti-racism on grateful Black and Asian people 🥺” frankly

Everything that the Labour party did about anti-racism, inbetween increasingly draconian immigration legislation and policy, Black and Asian people had to fight for

Kirk’s ‘memorial’ getting a live coverage on The Guardian is a great example of how the right gets automatically framed as the default political movement to be ‘understood’ while the victims of that same movement never will never get the same amount of coverage

The headfuckery continues - recognising and destroying a state at the same time.

I of course welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine. And there won't be a Palestinian state left if government's continue enabling Israel's unfolding genocide. Labour can't credibly support Palestinian statehood whilst also continuing to arm Israel.

I can't be sexist, actually, I know several women.

Ah yes, the progressive political stance of "lol, calling out sexism is idpol", man fuck these guys.

Can we be sure ‘Credible Threat to My Life’ isn’t just the name of his next album?

I will repost this EVERY TIME I SEE IT 🐅❤️

Beth Rigby and Deborah Haynes of Sky here doing their bit to escalate the demonisation of migrants

extremely disorienting to be told that any mentions of your "identity" are political, and then be asked to "share your culture" but depoliticise the identity you've just been told is inherently political 🫠

Today, remembering the Italian anti fascist resistance, whom made sure to look cool and sexy as fuck while overthrowing the Mussolini regime

Weeping for a neo-Nazi but damn near broke her fingers to delete a picture of Palestinian children from her IG

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

Lord Mountbatten, August 1979.

sorry to bang on about this and I know I'm preaching to the choir but I am honestly wondering how the Rachel who wrote this article just a couple of years ago squares the new article below? Or this one, explicitly about rape jokes (in the Met) www.newstatesman.com/thestaggers/...
