34 year old plumber won a seat Labour held since 1931, with 12-point majority over Reform, a most deprived constituency in England. Labour driven into third place, its vote halved. ‘Wasted vote’ argument that dogged Greens for decades demolished in a single night.
It is so much fun when our very talented friends drop by for a cup of tea and a song. Here’s one from a while back.
‘At each stage in this sprawling tale, they’ve been left disappointed.
Robodebt was the great test of this nation’s accountability mechanisms. Repeatedly, they have failed.’
‘That same desire has fuelled countless others in the almost decade since.
Victims, families of the dead, advocates, online campaigners, academics, lawyers, politicians and social services groups – they’ve all been clear-eyed about the need for justice.’
‘Speaking to me could have destroyed their career. It could have ruined their livelihood. Stretched their family. Strained their friendships.
It was a sense of justice that propelled that whistleblower to me.‘

Experienced economists tell me that if #Iran does all it can for six successive weeks to force #oil price above 100 dollars a barrel it will destroy the economies of the world. In other words they will defeat #Trump and bring USA to its knees. Its possible.
Hegseth: No nation does more to protect the lives of civilians.
I know FOR A FACT that this is untrue. For a fact.
"Here we Joh again." The ghost of Joh rises in Queensland. Just 20mins after the Qld Governor granted royal assent to David Crisafulli's speech criminalisation Liam Parry was arrested by police for speaking a banned phrase. He's due in Brisbane Magistrates Court 8 April. #qldpol
Qld Health Minister Tim Nicholls attempted to assert that the Bondi terrorists had used the now banned phrases. A spokesperson later said he misspoke.
If that is what the Crisafulli government was thinking when it passed the bill it's very bad. #qldpol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

In years from now this will be cited as evidence of America’s downfall and the end of its superpower status.
This is so cringeworthy I want to die.
Oil and oil money. That is the US empire.
The world is hard. People die and people get sick. But people shouldn’t be dying and getting sick because other people chose for that to occur so they could get richer.
New in PN: Trump’s military excursion, into an abyss
"The evident fact is that the president is completely nuts, and that he’s 'governing' the country — and has now taken the US to war — based on his impulses alone, without even the pretense of a strategy or goal."
At last … the true source of Trump’s “genius” 🥜
A gold-colored statue inspired by the “Titanic” pose has appeared on the National Mall — but instead of portraying Jack supporting Rose from behind as she pretends to fly, it depicts President Trump and the deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“Aust now involved in an expanding & illegal war, & we are putting ADF personnel in unnecessary danger,” said Austs for War Powers Reform president Andrew Bartlett. “As numerous experts stated, this war, started by Trump & Netanyahu, is a blatant breach of international law”
Pauline has far too much money anyhow. $23 million. How do you earn that on less than $200k a year?

ICYMI. Professor Anne Twomey commenting on Queensland Premier David Crisafulli's speech criminalisation just after the bill had passed but before the arrests. High probability a case will come before the High Court at some stage. #qldpol youtu.be/x9LsUDdgIUM
So similar to the repeated hit on the ‘drug boat’. These people have zero care for others.
Easier than you thought?
Trump pulled mine-sweepers from the Middle East and they’re sitting in Philadelphia as the Iran War rages
The Navy went through with plans to pull the ships from service despite ongoing tensions with Iran
