Mahmood is an affront to human decency: 'Labour values' are now blaming migrants for NHS and housing crises, not accepting Westminster's failings.

This is brutal, a country and ruling party intent on doghorning their racism, the irony that it's Shabana delivering this bleak message is depressing.

Reform fury as someone else wins
by Our By-election Editor
Tim Shipsink
The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost
comprehensively to someone else.
"It's totally unfair and rigged,"
said Goodwhinge.
"I shouldn't
be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost."
Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me.
Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X.
"We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families."
Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice.
They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green."
Reform leader
Mr Farage,
speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said,
"It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

PLUMBER DEFEATS

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

Is this really where we are? A sitting member of Congress going after fellow members like this is wild.

The fake sympathy paired with a swipe at two Muslim colleagues is straight-up Islamophobic garbage.

Revealed: Here’s Why Trump Chose War The Trump-Epstein files got too close to being exposed.

Great substack with timeline of events:

Epstein files exposing Trump erased. Peace talks were ignored. Congress sidelined. Trump bombed Iran 150 girls killed. Now 3 soldiers US have died! This is lawless, deadly chaos.

While bombs are falling on Iran, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are arguing about process instead of clearly saying this war shouldn’t be happening, and that’s not leadership.

Rep. Sarah Jacobs: Trump is first president "stupid enough" to help Netanyahu in Iran regime change

Jacobs (D-CA) said Trump’s strikes on Iran β€œwill go down as one of the biggest foreign policy blunders in American history."

Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran.

Iraq lessons must be learned.
Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe.

Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.

Thanks for all the kind comments!

I do agree that the Green Party seems to be interviewed with so much more hostility than anyone else.

But you know what - bring it on. πŸ’š

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

Congratulations. You harassed a married staffer until she submitted to your perversions leading to her suicide and still kept your job because the Republican Party stands for nothing except the acquisition of power. Congrats, Tony. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

Labour did everything the popularists like Matt Yglesias want. They cracked down on trans people and immigrants. They pushed austerity. They ended up fracturing their entire base and losing this seat to the left for the first time in nearly a 100 years.

Streeting trying to gaslight us. Starmer and his mob have been chasing after Reform before Runcorn and have redoubled their efforts ever since. I am glad Streeting is so stupid as he will be my Portillo moment of the next GE. A wretched government

Preemptive of what? Israel has been warning of Iran having nuclear weapons in two weeks for 30 years now. Trump as usual just the patsy that fell for it. For Trump he must smell the oil.

The real threat to democracy doesn't come from 'family voting'. It comes from the losing side refusing go accept they've lost
