That last bit frustrates me. I'd say it's due to a lack of both civic understanding and trust in politicians that we're not prepared to say "yes, slightly higher taxes to pay for e.g. nationalising water is a fair deal". And anytime someone makes those arguments, the rancid media destroys them.

100%

There needs to be serious work on how we remake democracy for the modern world (accounting for technology, climate, the new world order). Unfortunately our governments are always too hung up on capitalism as opposed to enacting *anything approaching* an ideology.

It's the only sensible voice in the room

Your last question is rhetorical, right?

No, McSweeney does not care about Labour at all. He never has.

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.

The pic of the two of them together is reportedly AI. He is mentioned multiple times in the emails that have been released so far though.

Can’t credit the author of this because I don’t know who. But very good little infographic. Worth sharing far and wide.

Farage is in trouble.

Remember the time the Epstein Files revealed Epstein & Peter Thiel were a part of the group who organised Brexit & how it was actually a targeted attack on the UK & NATO?

Any minute now the media will be all over that!

They might even ask Farage what he knows since he's mentioned over 40 times.

Jeffrey Epstein emailing Peter Thiel: Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain. ... Return to tribalism. Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

For those keeping score at home:

People who make billions out of billions are invariably horrible, vicious, abusive, nasty, bitter human beings who think very highly of themselves and their needs and their pile of money and absolutely nothing of other human beings.

If the Epstein scandal has reminded us of anything it is that.

Do you think it's a good thing that we're allied with the US right now?

Related question: do you believe the US will have legitimate elections again in the short term?

Epstein and Theil crowing over Brexit being only the beginning of the end for democracy and the triumph of 'tribalism' and collapse

Here's Epstein and Theil crowing over how Brexit is only the *beginning* of the end for liberal democracy

A vote for any of the big three Racist Right parties is a vote for more of the above.

Agreed. It seems vexatious to say a potential Green government would hinge on its NATO policy when NATO itself may not be around by the next GE.

Isn’t it amazing how - just as with e.g. Johnson, Covid procurement or MPs’ second jobs - one day of actual scrutiny of Ones Of The Lads turns up more ludicrous crime, malfeasance and corruption than, say, the EHRC dug up in months trawling all Labour Party servers with a fine-toothed comb?

Nope. Further, if the plate is 25 or later I assume the driver to be a complicit asshole and give them no grace on the road.

Never judge a book by its cover and all, but this looks ace!

Easily one of my favourite comics of all time. Thanks for sharing!

Afraid not, Labour are neoliberal authoritarians. Not what anyone actually voted for.

And to Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, and will return in Avengers: Doomsday

A is better. B doesn't add anything new, just shows us what the text is also saying.

I don't get the reference but I love the G2 speech bubble!

And the art as well, of course 😁

My sister lives near there, I've forwarded it on to her. Have a good day!

Goodness, UK really needs a Public Enquiry to identify those who knowingly lied to the public, the foreign actors who helped undermine the economic health of the country, and find ways for those who voted Brexit to recover their dignity.

If I was a toxic techbro fascist, it wouldn't take long to write a program to turn £1m worth of, say, Bitcoin, into 40k x £25 unverified "memberships" of a compliant political party that accepts crypto.

Just sayin'

Sometimes you think a script is gonna go a certain way, but then once you’re done you realize you were wrong and need to choose between going forward with something meh or rewriting 80% of the thing you thought was done.

Rewriting is always the right choice.

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:

In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.

In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

Safe homes for Scotland’s swifts Safe homes for Scotland’s swifts -

Our swift population is in sharp decline. They've fallen by two thirds since 1995 and were added to the UK's conservation red list in 2020.

But we have a simple, low-cost solution. Tell the government that now is the time to act to save our swifts.
