“Confronting the Gorton & Denton by-election result requires far more than managerial adjustment.
It requires a decisive break with the political, cultural and economic settlement that has defined Britain since the 1980s.”

“Never once did Reform promise to cut council tax” insists an angry Nigel Farage to Sky News.
Here's some of the leaflets Reform have been putting out ahead of the local elections
Of course the CPS does…can’t have juries making up their own mind against the wishes of the state.
Compton Dundon?
Labour government has been nasty reactionary and authoritarian with a litany of fuck ups but Starmer’s worst crime was to kill hope and unfortunately for him people have rightly sought it elsewhere.
Imagine if we'd put in a performance like the one City just produced. You'd never hear the last of it.
“According to a new large sample YouGov poll of UK voters, a grand total of 0% of voters who backed Reform at the last general election now plan to vote for Labour.” @adambienkov.bsky.social
Well, this aged well.....
Why? Just why is he on the BBC? Why listen to anything he has to say? Why?
And we all know that what we are facing is not a “cost of living crisis“ but a “cost a greed crisis”.
Privatised utilities have been given carte blanche by politicians to rob us blind.
Politicians who lied to us that privatisation would provide cheaper, better services.
"The maximum time a prisoner can spend on remand is 182 days (six months). Yet Muraisi and Ahmed were arrested in November 2024, and are not due to be tried until June at the earliest, which means they will be remanded for 20 months."
Shameful.

Bidens lead to Trumps, and Starmers lead to Farages. People understandably will not turn out to vote for politicians who don't even try to make lives better.
BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped.
The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.
People want lower rents. They want cheaper bills and publicly-owned services. They want an NHS that works.
Why can’t this government just do things that would actually improve people’s lives?
We can fix this country. We just need the political will.
Are they TRYING to lose?
Because we need more politely transphobic centrists.
Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.
If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.
If 'centrists' hadn't shoe-horned 'electable' cardboard cut-out Sir Keir Starmer into the Labour leadership, we'd have public ownership of the electricity and water companies, the NHS would be on its way to being rescued, and we wouldn't be arming a genocidal regime...
So… does Iran have a right to defend itself?
35 years of privatisation. 35 years of excessive profits. 35 years of rising bills.
There is no market solution. Take water into public ownership now!
🔥 Well said these MPs.
This government now appears to be deliberately misleading the house on their position on Israel & Gaza.
Everyone write to your MPs and ask where their voice is.
And it came to pass…
Suddenly, powerful and influential people are condemning Israel.
It's taken them 19 months of daily genocidal depravity.
But Israel's genocide was obvious from the start - and I warned you then what the cheerleaders and the silent would do.
Either James O’Brien didn’t know Sangita had an NDA (and presenters are treated *very* differently from each other at LBC)…
Or he knew.
If he knew, then it was an absolutely malicious & cowardly act on his part to attempt to defame Sangita, knowing she could not reply.
If you want to understand how people and publications are trying to shift and pivot on Gaza…
