I try very hard not to use the word Orwellian too much but it’s the best adjective for the mauling of language at the start of this BBC News report. “… an anti-hate demonstration that turned violent”. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

'Anti-trans protesters' harrass Green MP Hannah Spencer

Thugs is what they are, thugs who beat women, pretending to protect them.

Yeah but guess what; those refugees aren’t going to end up in the US or Israel. A surge of refugees into western Europe is only going to boost support for the kind of political parties that the US National Security Strategy says it is now a US foreign policy objective to support.

Labour is losing the voters it used to count on, a new study reveals.
In the aftermath of the Green Party's triumph in the Gorton and Denton by-election, and with local elections in London councils and other major cities coming up, Labour is losing the left progressive voters it could once rely on having
"nowhere else to go".
Now, the biggest study ever of these voters - shared exclusively with the New Statesman - reveals the true risk to Labour's future of leaving them behind.
This work, done by surveying 10,000 voters and a randomised control trial style approach, has found out who the so-called progressive defectors are, why they're deserting Labour, and what impact this could have on Labour's electoral prospects.

Worrying news at the NS podcast, where the lads have discovered millions of younger, mostly educated left/lib people get all upset and offended if you relentlessly insult them, tell them to fuck off and implement policies that they find appalling.

Feels like a good moment in history to be generating twice as much electricity as I’m using

My (person you don’t know) interpretation of the result was that the Greens (party member) could have won the seat anyway but benefited hugely from people who want nothing to do with the current iteration of Labour.

It’s so depressing. I expected Farage to kick up a Trumpian stink, but Starmer’s utterly cunty response is reprehensible. But hey ho, I’m a Green Party member so fuck you, Starmer

Listened to a couple of podcasts today where the oh-so-sensible guests are spitting chips that the Greens had the temerity to beat Labour

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all.

Thanks,
Zack Polanski

Have I got this right? Farage bemoaning the Greens win as a result of "family voting" means he thinks loads of Muslim women wanted to vote Reform but their husbands stopped them 😂

Gorton and Denton.
Just a simple question for Reform:

Does this mean Matt Goodwin is now a ‘Shadow’ MP?

The Allister Heath headline generator will never be able to truly replicate the insanity of the original.
