He works in education. He's far too invested in comics and games. He's based in the North East of England. He bought a whistle from a crooked merchant, BUT THE WHISTLE MAY BE MAGIC.

LaindonFeminist: Labour led by Keir for me
β€ͺ@viviane49.bsky.social‬
James OBrien is forcing me to wonder if I’m in a Starmer cult. I think I am a little bit. Because I really respect him and want him to stay in post.  I’m glad I’m in his cult because I’ve never found anyone else I’ve respected more in politics than him.

I am also in the same cult. However, I believe it is an evidence-based cult. Starmer is managing home and foreign policies equally well. Manifesto pledges are now enacted, NHS, Education, Infrastructure, Energy, etc. The ability to deliver actions is what I look for and his Cabinet is delivering.

Me too.
SKS is a bit wooden, lacks charisma, but we’ve seen where that gets us before with Bozo and his bluster.
Is Starmer perfect? No.
Does he reflect all my priorities? No.
Is he doing what’s needed? Yes.
Will it take time? Yes.

Not to sound obsessed, but I think a lot goes back to Brexit. Get voters to vote for you so you win, rather than because of the things you will do when you have won. Ever since Tories imploded and Labour won an enormous victory, they've not had a fucking clue what to do. Principles, lads!

A photo of me in the conference hall with stalls in the background. I'm sat on a chair wearing a red jacket and blue trousers. My hair is done in curls and I look very glam! I'm being interviewed for a live interview with the BBC. There is a big light and a camera person in front of me

A very contrasting photo! Of me wearing a yellow t shirt worn my hair scraped back, I look a bit grubby and I'm lying on the ground underneath the floor of a house where I'm fitting central heating. There's copper pipe next to me. I don't look like the other photo but I've got a big smile on my face!

And just like that, in less than 24 hours I went from photo 1, to photo 2. From holding my own live on the BBC to getting straight back under the floor fitting central heating πŸ™ŒπŸ»

Nadia is amazing btw, don't want this to come across as bashing her. But it's mad that it feels she's held hostage by a right leaning leadership, when the by-election result indicates there's a real desire for progressive politics.

Strong and needed words, but is it too late for Labour? The leaders decided to chase fash votes, and define themselves against the Left long enough to make them into a glass bubble full of petty wankers. Change Is Possible, but I'm not sure it's possible without changing the top layer completely.

If I had a huge but shallow majority in parliament and was looking at a situation in which the right was a minority but broadly unified whilst the left was a majority fractured over multiple parties I would simply introduce PR right now.

Can you imagine being at the gig that followed here, but in a slightly off mood after a bad day a work, no money for another pint, long journey home, too hot, haven’t had food, mate’s being a dick. You leave early not realising you’ve just seen what you’ve just seen…

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

The US Justice Department withheld testimony that Donald Trump sexually abused a girl when she was 13 or 14 - according to a source who viewed unredacted Epstein files.

This is the worst scandal in US history and should be the biggest news story on the planet right now.
