It is not enough for Churchill to be replaced on the £5. We must also replace his statue with something that can truly unite the country at this difficult time. Sign the petition here: www.change.org/p/uk-parliam...
they put chemicals in the food so that if you ever fully reckon with the suffering required of people in the global south to maintain your meager standard of living you’ll dismiss the resultant suicidal urge as just another microplastic-induced neuron misfire
Israeli media reporting that the US and Israel have divided up the Iran attack thus: the US is targeting infrastructure, Israel is focussed on taking out Iran's leadership
It should go without saying that the aim here is to collapse Iran - a country of ninety million people - into ungovernable chaos and Mad Max-style warlord catastrophe, much as they have every other country from Libya to Afghanistan that they could not buy off.
“Grievances” here is just “issues which might motivate a vote” same as any other group. I, a white man in a Labour constituency, share the views that Labour’s Gaza policy was dreadful, that Modi is an authoritarian and that Reform is far-right!
The Sensible Moderates are going to get us all killed, part 262,734
This has been the core of it for decades: Thatcherites simply do not regard the left as a legit political bloc, so they do not view us as real people deserving of even basic respect. They see us as an unacceptable threat that must justly be crushed by force, bullshit and shenanigans.
The people of Gorton and Denton have voted overwhelmingly to give heroin to Sir Keir Starmer’s son, and I hope the prime minister will now do the decent thing.
the people of manchester have spoken: britain demands trans rights and drug liberalisation
lol
Billionaire Peter Thiel says that America is similar to the Weimar Republic "Liberalism has exhausted itself... Democracy, whatever it may be, has exhausted itself... Therefore, we need to start talking far beyond the Overton window."
Talking openly about this in public too, so I think it’s time to ask ourselves what we collectively want to do in response to a billionaire class that is not embarrassed about declaring themselves kings.
Note also how the full, total ideological dominance of Osbornism and "fiscal prudence" is doing sterling work smoothing over and normalising the rise of Actual Honest To God Fascism here.
Just listen to what Andrew’s nickname was amongst royal protection officers.
From a young age I recognised that Spongebob was clearly a cuboid and not square by any definition. Even then I was immune to the propaganda of the mainstream media.
My latest column on Epstein - conveniently becoming a scandal about something other than abuse and debasement of women and girls
Okay, but I can certainly see why it’s highly inconvenient for some people that the focus is on political corruption
I'm standing by this prediction.
Man who stood up and scapegoated immigrants for making Britain into an island of strangers begs to be taken seriously as a conscientious public servant.
So funny they keep pushing the lie thing like it is in any way exculpatory, your job was to put the right person in the role, the fact he lied and you believed him just means you failed even more badly!
James Ball @jamesrball.com • 30m I think there's a the faintest glimmer of an optimistic take to be found here, which is: if ducking all the unpopular decisions that might actually start to fix things doesn't work, there's no reason not to just actually grasp the nettle and finally take some of those decisions. Stephen Bush• @stephenkb... • 47m And whoever comes after Starmer-Reeves is going to inherit two years of complete failure to grasp the nettle and do anything of a scale to fix the mess, because that might be unpopular (while ironically becoming increasingly unpopular).
Could we perhaps spell out what “the unpopular decisions” are, because I’d suggest that if a government with a crushing majority can’t do it, then the decisions may simply be too unpopular. At least until the fash/tory lashup finally wins and revokes the entire postwar settlement at last.
I said "ooh I like your gold necklace" one time in front of my friends and they called me "Covetous Smaug" for months
I used to love computer it was my friend. Now I have hate in my heart
Exactly the same reason why e.g. the Iraq War report and Forde were instantly binned and never mentioned again: the lads wanted to keep interviewing these horrible people and inviting them on television. And you can’t do that if everyone hates them and won’t vote for their projects.
This is why the Mandelson scandal goes to the heart of what’s wrong with this government - constantly parping on about values of probity and decency whilst doing the exact opposite, and constantly blaming other people for the predictable results of its own decisions
Sounds like a joke but it’s real: McSweeney was running a secret campaign planting bullshitty newspaper stories about extremist hatemongers in his party, at the same time he was running bogus “fact-checking” orgs telling the same newspapers any suggestion that was happening was crazy and very racist
This is how it feels showing a meme you made to your partner (who isn’t terminally online)
I swear it gets more embarrassing every time he appears
Full on Stonks posting today. Nothing but Starmer. All Stonks all the time. The worst person I know is having a terrible day and we should relish that.
The 'core British values' of appointing paedophiles to high office.
Starmer didn't 'believe' a notorious political operator, who had already resigned 2x from Cabinet, after it was publicly known he was friends with Epstein, after being given a 100s-page dossier from MI5 detailing his continuing relationship & other malfeasances.
In reality, he just didn't care.
I have been called 'divorced' and 'bald' for wearing a muzzle to Wetherspoons in solidarity with my XL Bully (who has been BANNED despite only mauling ONE toddler). This is why I have left the Left.
