I always liked gore vidal's description of the term:
“a phrase which that underestimated wit Richard Nixon took from Homer who used it to describe the dead.”

A crochet spitfire in front of a building. No, really.

A different view of the crochet spitfire - no, I really do mean it, it's a full sized spitfire made from wool. This angle shows it apparently on tow by a rope of poppies, because of course it is.

The "sip...bloody hell" meme isn't strong enough here.

Absolutely incredible sentence.

This is literally Nazi shit. This is what the Nazis did. If you support this, you are a Nazi, and if that makes you upset, then STOP BEING A FUCKING NAZI

Tosin yesterday lost 3 out of 4 aerial duels in or near our penalty box yesterday, which is just brutal considering that being a tall guy who wins headers is his entire raison d'etre

(Red triangle - aerial duel lost, green triangle - aerial duel won)

Racism and the Right Racist party in racism shocker. Reform MP Sarah Pochin has been forced to apologise after saying "it drives me mad when I see adverts full ...

Why are the right embracing open racism? Our old friend Antonio Gramsci has a pointer.

Post from Angus MacDonald MP: I’m deeply concerned by reports that the UK Government plans to house up to 300 migrants at Cameron Barracks in Inverness. This site is surrounded by residential houses and is only a ten-minute walk from the High Street - it’s simply not an appropriate or secure location.

James O'Malley @jamesomalley.co.uk I fullv accept that things are Not Good at the moment for the Labour Party, and I personally find some of the more Blue Labour stuff a bit grim, but I'd like to hear someone explain what the strategy should be that results in the government retaining a majority Will Jennings @driennings.bsky.s... 1h It's increasingly obvious that Labour's strategy - call it Starmerism, Blue Labour whatever - has got it badly wrong. It has alienated the party's core vote while failing to win over those leaning to Reform. There was no shortage of people warning them they were getting it wrong either.

I really wish these guys would stfu now. You all heartily endorsed & swung behind the kick seven shades of shit out of the left & suck up to the racists strategy & but have been bitching about getting absolutely everything you wanted virtually from the start of Labour being in power

There is a straight line between Labour policy on UK arms exports and Labour's policy of appeasement to the far right. Both are clear signs of a party for whom the lives of racialised people don't matter. A once progressive party now wholly captured ideologically by a racist, imperialist state.

Paula Barker MP @paulabarkermp.bsky.social Follow It was an honour to join campaigners from Phone Free Education, a campaign by the Brianna Ghey Legacy Project - founded by Esther Ghey in memory of her daughter Brianna.

"We'll campaign for this in Brianna Ghey's name, but not against the transphobia that got her killed, because we do in fact support that. It's a matter of policy.

I'm turning comments and quotes off because I don't want to hear from the public, they're awful"

One of the untenable things about the populism/mainstream dichotomy is that it inherently implies that the latter are inherently hamstrung by their need to engage with complexity at the expense of popular feeling, which they just fucking don't

That scene of the Welsh BBC correspondent being the only person interviewing Caerphilly's new Plaid AM while the rest of the media interviewed Reform's loser in the background was far too on the nose.

do wonder how solid the theory that when the anti-Reform squeeze comes out will work extremely strongly in Labour's favour is. There's also the scenario in a lot of seats where there is a double squeeze- anti Reform *and* anti-Labour. Like this one. Paul Brand @paulbrand.bsky.social • 55m Plaid Cymru won the Caerphilly by-election overnight, with Reform pushing Labour into a distant third. Plaid got 47% of the vote on a record turnout, suggesting to me that there was some tactical voting to keep Reform out, which won 36%. A factor that could be underpriced in a general election.

It appears that making “Hahaha fuck you, you all have to eat shit now! Yes, this is awesome!” the core of your offer to your own supporters is working out more or less as you’d expect it would

Love to live in the Anglosphere. Seemingly the worst version of capitalism on literally any measure of human wellbeing you can find. And with the progressive half of the electorate represented in the electoral system by "better things aren't possible" centrists.

One of the people killed by Soldier F was a man who stepped out to help another of his victims as he lay dying in the street. He waved a white handkerchief as he did so. Soldier F shot him in the head. His name was Barney McGuigan and today his family had to listen to a judge acquit his killer.

No justice. Utterly disgusted for the Bloody Sunday families. An obscene decision and a dark day.
