"I don't know what weapons the next war will be fought with, but the one after that will be with sticks."
"Because of nukes, right?"
"No, because we decided logistics was woke."
Yup. World "Celebrate the Tyrannicides" Day!
Can anyone explain to me what the Blue Labour justification for this is? Who out there will vote Labour because Mahmood prevented a Sudanese Chevening Scholar? And to be honest, why won’t the PM simply overrule her?
I would think that this is not a LLM misfire or "hallucination", but entirely in accord with the ideology of the regime.
Board member of the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship, along with Danny Kruger, Douglas Murray, Jordan Peterson, Konstantin Kisin, Mike Johnson, Niall Ferguson, Paul Marshall, Vivek Ramaswamy ... He's a cuckoo in the nest of the Labour Party.
I gotta say, your alibi seems pretty tight. Sorry to have troubled you, ah — oh, What’d you say your name was? Johan …Liebert? Ahh, see, that’s what I was gonna ask about. I think I remember hearing that name somewhe— Yeah, it was back in 1985, the accident— I hope you don’t mind me mentioning, sir,
Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
Hallo Herr Stanisié! Sie kriegen heute Post von uns, weil wir Ihr tolles Buch „Wolf" als Klassenlektüre gelesen haben. Und weil sie nicht tot sind, wie Goethe zum Beispiel, haben wir Ihnen Briefe geschrieben. Wir hoffen auf weitere Geschichten. Hochachtungsvoll Klasse 5b mit Frau x (Brief)

Starmer on Monday: “I think we were all shocked by the actions of the deputy leader of the Green party – although perhaps not surprised, given that party’s recent turn of direction.”
Pure far-right smear tactics.
الشَّيءُ يَبْدُؤُهُ في الأَصْلِ أَصْغَرُهُ ... وَلَيسَ يَصْلَى بِكُلِّ الحَرْبِ جَانِيهَا والحربُ يلحق فيها الكارهُونَ كما ... تدنو الصِّحَاحُ إلى الْجَرْبَى فَتُعْدِيهَا
—On War—

Things begin small —
and the one who starts a war is not
the one who burns in it.
War draws in even those who oppose it
like a mangy camel
makes the others sick.

Israeli map showing all of southern Lebanon in red with yellow arrows pointing to north of the Litani river
The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.
They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.
The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.
"Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've plotted on these pages
I hold that both claims go back ages."
Apart from the sheer horror of this video being made at all, it’s clearly false for Mahmood to claim Denmark still protects people who need safety, unless you assume all of the 90% reduction in asylum claims consists of people whose claims would’ve been refused, which is unlikely, & probably untrue
🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

Someone should tell her about the Gorton and Denton by-election where Reform and Labour with their anti-immigrant rhetoric got hammered, because she doesn't seem to have heard about it.
Whereas the party with the positive immigration rhetoric romped home. She's a Pound Shop Braverman.
Allowing British bases to be used in an illegal war of aggression is a catastrophic and historic mistake.
Britain has been dragged into another war because our Prime Minister would rather appease Donald Trump than stand up for international law.
Very clear that for Starmer, 'sectarian voting' is when British Muslims don't vote Labour, and for many others, it is just when British Muslims vote.

"War is a tyrant"

According to al-Maydānī this is said because "war takes those who have done nothing wrong, while the true wrongdoer passes through it safely."
Labour MP Clive Lewis doesn’t hold back on the Gorton and Denton result in this interview with ITV
As @samfr.bsky.social pointed out the other day there is now relatively little room for Labour to manouver on policy given the time left.
The only big policy leaver is really immigration. Which is why they should very, very publically boot the Immigration Bill into the sun - and apologise for it
Language angle on the Gorton & Denton by-election!
In case anyone falls for this BS (img from Reddit, but also being pushed by the Daily M@!l): be aware that Labour, the Conservatives, and most other UK parties have been producing multilingual campaign leaflets since before I was born.
Fantastic blog by my former colleague @alanlester.bsky.social forensically refuting the disgraceful attacks on the University of Sussex by the disgracefully ignorant Nigel Biggar.

Modern Anglophone fascists have adopted the term as a handy quasi-deniable way of saying "not Muslim." It's historically bogus, obviously, but it's not *intended* to reflect any actual facts. It's simply a rallying slogan for xenophobes who haven't (yet) progressed to overt antisemitism.
What "coup"?
