Do something pointlessly cruel towards disabled people. Then when that doesn’t work, do something pointlessly cruel towards trans people. Then when that doesn’t work, loop back to racism.

Starmer's approach to governing is anti-governance.
What people need to understand is Starmer is working with an alternative system of governance that is known in current right-wing thought as The Sovereign Corporation.

Keir Starmer is bringing back powers that would let the Government spy on our bank accounts. Yep, you read that right. I just joined the campaign to stop this - add your name and join the fight here: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/stop… via @38degrees

Shortfall of 330,000 workers in UK due to Brexit, say thinktanks Immigration from non-EU countries failed to take up slack after freedom of movement ended

The UK is capital-hungry and desperate after Brexit.
Starmer forcing the disabled into work by slashing their benefits is the act of a cruelly obstinate bully.

The Americans already own Britain

I understand the human instinct. I’d want to do the same.

But that’s why no individual should be given the power to pardon members of their family.

Quarter of England's farmland owned by just 2,500 toffs and fatcats There are more than 100,000 farm holdings in England, covering 22 million acres in total. But the Defra data show just 2,568 very large farms own or manage 5.6 million acres

- a quarter of all England’s farmland belongs to just 2,500 owners

- 20 dukes own a million acres of Britain

"most of this country is owned by people like the Duke of Westminster, who has 129,000 acres and a £10billion fortune", says @guyshrubsole.bsky.social

Elon Musk Is Opening a School for Young Students. Here’s What We Know About It The tech billionaire has claimed that the current Education Department is "basically paying people to hate America."

Every. Damn. Time.

The business bros ALWAYS do this. Because hey, if you've built a billion-dollar company how hard it is to run a school?

Nb: they almost always fail. 🙄

Edwards? Be gone!

1. The implicit deal behind Starmerism was this: you might not like what he stands for (or fails to stand for), but at least he knows how to win elections. If you want the Tories out, he’s your only hope.
But now? It’s as if he’s going out of his way to lose in 2029. 🧵

"The ICC has never, in over 21 years, indicted a pro-Western official. Indeed, no international court since World War II has done so,” said human rights attorney and war crimes prosecutor Reed Brody.

This is big. Very big - especially for Europe.

Germany has facilitated Israel's genocide from day one.

Economy could have crashed if winter fuel payments for pensioners weren't cut, Labour minister claims Commons leader (and Oasis fan) Lucy Powell said Labour 'do look back in anger' at the economy they inherited as she defended making savings by cutting the winter fuel allowance.

I think the WFP cut is perfectly defensible in context.

But this is just total bullshit scaremongering and just makes it harder to have a remotely sensible discussion of fiscal policy.

My brother, a technician in a school controlled by a MAT, told me today that teachers there have been given lessons plans that they *have to* follow.
26 teachers left last year, more are leaving this coming term. He's really upset to lose great teachers and colleagues.

Do people know that 74 UK Special Economic Zones and 12 Freeports have been deregulated so that businesses are eligible for State aid (public money) to the tune of £11 billion 840 million?
That’s £160 million per SEZ.

After the riots, Keir Starmer should tell us the truth about our country. This is why he won't | Nesrine Malik The violence exposed racist narratives based on lies. Yet where is the counter-argument, asks Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

'He will not say this, because the illusion that immigration is something that a government can fully “control”, that is not subject to economic dynamics and the needs of public infrastructure, is important to maintain.'

I’m here for it

Bad decision. Basically limiting exports to placate xenophobes.
