BBC may as well show Fox News footage for their coverage of the US and Israel’s illegal war

Nobody is forcing them to do this, they’re doing it voluntarily. Because if they stepped back, conceded things have gone too far and tried to calm things down instead, that would raise too many questions about what the fuck it is they’ve been doing for most of the last decade.

“Oh so it’s bad to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival? Well I got news for you, the whole entertainment industry is dirty. You think it’s okay to perform a comedy show in America, where the secret police are rounding people up?”
- literally hearing Austin Comedy Mothership Types saying this

The reporting on Charlie Kirk’s killer in the UK & US highlights again how fundamentally ill equipped mainstream media is to report on political violence in the digital age.

They do not know anything about online far right meme culture & it’s starting to do real harm. #r4today

Can't fault the clarity of Labour's message on protest. There are BAD protesters who must be punished (Irish musicians, anti-genocide vicars) and there are GOOD protesters whose views deserve respect (masked thugs with petrol bombs trying to start a pogrom)

Having facilitated a genocide for nearly two years, Labour are now claiming they will recognise the State of Palestinian at some point within the next four years...

Most of Gaza is already destroyed.

Dear Labour comms team: thanks to an invention known as the internet we can all read your different messages to different outlets. Shocking isn’t it

A director pal has been working for decades with big name clients. Doing huge stuff, including international shoots. If you live in the UK, you will have seen their stuff.

They are currently retraining as a Pilates instructor. To have a more regular income in winter.

That's how bad it is.

Acknowledging that the billionaire who did a Nazi salute at the inauguration isn’t a cool guy you want to be friends with seems like it should be the absolute minimum qualification for membership in the opposition party.

“It doesn’t mean upholding free speech after we win” is a really great summation of modern conservatism tbqh.

Temporary road signs set up by the Met saying at yesterday’s march THREATENING OR ABUSIVE CHANTS MAY LEAD TO ARREST IT’S AN OFFENCE TO SUPPORT A PROSCRIBED ORGANISATION

The U.K. is a police state

Another TERF fucking hell this country!!!

Gosh. Who could have predicted this*

*(Every trans person and feminist for the last decade).

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

While Mr. Mamdani was not a target of the hack, the information about him was included in a database of millions of student applications to Columbia going back decades. The data was shared with The Times by an intermediary who goes by the name Crémieux on Substack and X and who is an academic and an opponent of affirmative action. The Times agreed to withhold his real name.

His name, @nytimes.com is Jordan Lasker, and you probably know him since he was at the Eugenics Conference you and every other mainstream outlet provided fawning coverage over

You’ll recall that the cancelled second phase of the Leveson Inquiry - cancelled by the government, because the press and the police both demanded it - was intended to examine overly chummy and probably corrupt relationships between government, press and police.

NYT alert: New York City Rent 20m ago Increases of at least 3 percent were approved for one million rent-stabilized apartments, despite Zohran Mamdani's call for a rent freeze.

this is so perplexing do they think that we think that Zohran is already mayor?

Sunder Katwala (sunders... @sundersays.bsky.social Follow Matthew Goodwin tells Michael Gove that he believes that Englishness depends on several generations, though he does accept Rishi Sunak 'can choose to identify as English if he views himself that way' but has less of a linkage (because the ethnic group matters) than Starmer or Goodwin himself. •@GoodwinMJ speaks to@michaelgove on the ethnicity debate. "My view is Englishness is an ethnicity that is deeply rooted in a people that can trace their roots back over generations. It is a very distinctive identity and a different identity from Britishness..." "... Our history, the legacy of our collective identity, the legacy of our culture, goes much further back and is deener than simolv sionino some

You’ll recall our entire media/political class unified as one around the idea that the slightest trace, the mere suspicion of racism in public life was utterly unacceptable and that anyone tangentially implicated had to be expunged and eradicated. Just checking in on that, five years later

ammy: The UK has suspended trade negotiations with Israel over Gaza aid blockade The foreign secretary has told parliament the UK has suspended trade negotiations with Israel over its Gaza blockade. David Lammy said the Israeli ambassador had been summoned. Lammy: Israel's blockade of Gaza is 'morally wrong, unjustifiable, and it needs to stop' David Lammy has told MPs in London that he thinks all of them “should be able to utterly condemn the Israeli government’s denial of food to hungry children,” as he described Israel’s actions as “morally wrong” and “unjustifiable.”

Don't stop protesting coz I reckon it works tbh.

Strange how competition bids up salaries for bosses but doesn't bid down prices for customers. Anyone might think the system was rigged.

They set fire to a hotel where refugees were forced to live, attacked mosques and homes, stopped people driving into an area if they weren’t white. “grievances” remember violent racism is always our fault

it would be cool if one national democratic leader took this moment to secure the release of the fucking mayor of newark new jersey

UK will discriminate against would-be students who are from persecuted groups.
Palestinian? No visa.
Christian from Pakistan or Iran? No visa.
Woman from Afghanistan? No visa.
Lesbian from Uganda? No visa.

“I asked ChatGPT” well I asked the three Fates and the one with the scissors got very agitated when I told her you were using your one precious life thread talking to that cursed thing

yeah i am pretty much on the side of primary everyone

Thames Water criticised over compensation for supply issues Residents say they have not been offered enough money to compensate for the lack of water supply.

Thames Water's business model:
✔️Pay £10.4bn in dividends
✔️Rack up £19bn of debt
✔️Make customers service the debt through their bills
✔️Underinvest in essential infrastructure
✔️Offer pitiful compensation when that infrastructure fails

Water privatisation has failed.
