Like Dominic Cummings, Morgan McSweeney helped deliver electoral victory but, in doing so, debased and subverted everything his party claimed to stand for.

Against a corrupt, exhausted, unlucky Government, which under-estimated the threat from Reform, trying for its fifth General Election in a row, Morgan McSweeney delivered 33.7% of the vote. And he then made Starmer the most unpopular PM ever. That's the measure of the man's 'genius'.

Says a guy who was appointed by Starmer, this Mandelson version of so called New Labour needs consigned to the dustbin of history..

If Starmer decides to stay, then he will take the Labour Party down with him and their reputation will be damaged for a long time..

Could you imagine Starmer doing this? Me neither as he thinks more about the rich and powerful and is spineless to stand up to right wing propagandists..

By the time Starmer is replaced this summer, we'll have had two wasted years, in which a country crying out for transformation instead got more of the same, or even worse where environmental legislation is concerned, and a high possibility of Farage running the next government.
Thanks Keir.

'You're in our country,' DUP MP tells President Connolly DUP MP Gregory Campbell has told President Catherine Connolly "you're in our country" and warned her against "rewriting the past" on her visit to Co Derry.

www.rte.ie/news/ulster/... Is Campbell referring to โ€œourโ€ meaning Unionists who still donโ€™t realize they are no longer a majority here by any chance?

When we talk about authoritarianism, itโ€™s not just Donald Trump.

Musk owns X
Bezos owns Twitch
Zuckerberg owns Instagram and Facebook
Larry Ellison controls TikTok

Billionaires increasingly control what we see, hear and read.

Trumpโ€™s comments about how Republicans should โ€œtake over the votingโ€ are evidence of his weakness, not strength โ€” and thereโ€™s a collision coming.

My thoughts today on โ€œRisingโ€ (full segment is on The Hillโ€™s YouTube.)

The United States of America is and has always made up of people from other countries including Trump and his wifeโ€™s family, clearly those in power donโ€™t like the colour of new immigrants, but like King Canute, they will eventually be washed away by reality rather than their own lies..

James Taylor & Carole King โ€” Youโ€™ve Got a Friend
BBC In Concert ยท 1971

Pure comfort in song form. Written by Carole King and shared here with James Taylor, Youโ€™ve Got a Friend feels less like a performance and more like a promise. Their voices blend with quiet ease, trust, warmth, and friendship.
