Don't leave out the UK media! Levison 1 & 2 now please. And can we also give a thought to a Levison + for the near future.

And up against some pretty stiff competition....

I wouldn't say that was a given. I think Reform belong to whoever pays their hefty expenses and offers them the use of bot-farms.

That might be Russia. It might be certain right wing interests in the US. Could be both. Could be neither.

Whatever it is, it isn't clean.

Those future seats in various boardrooms look very comfy.

"He probably would be have expelled from today's Labour, although, being Jewish, Starmer may have had more difficulty in pinning an "antisemitic" tag on him."

That hasn't stopped Starmer before. Who knew so many Jewish folk in Labour were 'the wrong type'?

Interesting...

I have a mental image of a bunch of affluent middle class teletubbies sat round a table pretending to be important.

Well, it's a day of the week so what can we expect?

I suspect responsibility and accountability. Oh, and they'd love to see independence from voters too.

It's impossible to take these fucking people seriously.

The only explanations I can find are they are either corrupted by their ignorance or compromised by their wrongdoing.

If I can borrow shamelessly from Yes Minister....

"Who wants to play pass the parcel when you can hear it ticking?"

I think that's inaccurate.

Cunts have a use. So do dicks.

Following along in a similar vein, Reform are the thing you go to an STI clinic to get rid of, to make whatever bits you have fit for use again.

Oh, we're way beyond 'apologies'. There's good evidence that Starmer and several other cabinet members have colluded in a genocide. Among other things.

Perhaps getting a bunch of average middle managers with a hard-on for Israeli money together to form a government wasn't such a good idea.

The woman is well past her use-by date. I seem to recall her supporting the SDP to keep... (memory churning) Michael Foot out of No 10.

Labour centrists eh? They have never agreed to 'work together' when the need arose. They have always wanted things their way and will accept nothing else.

Nations are not 'businesses'. The idea that individuals with business expertise can or should run government is a fallacy.

The Home Counties are a lost land. Tactical voting is the way to go, or your prediction will be accurate.

Unfortunately, political egos and personal ambition will happily see the UKs future sacrificed, for the simple reason that those responsible will not feel any effects.

Got to look after the donors...

How any politician can expect people to have any faith in 'the established way' after the last 50 years is beyond me.

Distinct change is needed. And the colour of it isn't blue.

Bought and paid for.

Donate if you can, good people. Share and pass this on if you can't. It's all beneficial. It will all help.

Presumably, Polanski is 'the wrong sort of Jew'. Fascist ethno-nationalism really does fuck up some people's humanity.

You'd have to provide the pair of them with a panic room. Maybe one each, if they don't get on. Could be pricey. Don't let either of them give you a quote.

And if he was a horse he'd be performing a useful function and glueing some things together.

But he is Right wing. And he's a shit. Tory/Labour is just a shift change these days. Just a different variety of cruelty and incompetence.

We get what someone else - in the form of donations or threats - has paid for. Then we get to pay for it with years of captured government.

This cannot be said often enough. And not just about Council SEND spending.

An inability or refusal to accept criticism or responsibility is a sign of several significant personality disorders. It seems many of our MPs and all of our major parties are sufferers.

And we know MP as a profession is are among the highest scorers on the Hare scale.

Plus Labour have been utter pants at telling people what they've done. For sure, media hasn't helped. There's an obvious entitlement, ignorance and arrogance about their responses to sometimes deserved criticism.

Giving the impression "I'm better than you. Shut up" doesn't sell well.

If you need a reason for press antipathy, Starmer was front and centre during the trials over phone hacking and resentment from that still exists.

Then add the 'natural' bias of publications funded at a loss by billionaires for influence and I think you have at least a partial explanation.

He has fans? I mean, apart from himself?

I think we can be fairly certain that MI6 already know all about it...

"Get the President a stool. Oh wait, no need. He already provided one."

No anger against Thatcher who closed most of the assylums. No anger against May who stoked migration fears. No anger against successive Tory governments who put in place a system designed to both fail and funnel money to their donors.

She's right that few senior politicians give a toss though.
