Forgive and forget Zac Goldsmith’s racist campaign? No chance | Owen Jones ‘Doing a Zac’ should become an insult that future politicians want to avoid. His attempt to divide London’s voters should shame not just him but No 10

This article is missing some context, no? @owenjones.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Even Jude the Obscure?

In case you missed..more documents from the Epstein files were released on Friday 👇

There indeed is so much to fight for, and in some countries (looking at you, US), some old fights have become new fights.

One thing (academic) men can do is not participate in manels! It can be uncomfortable at times but it is also still necessary. Here’s my experience: 🧵

So this post broke containment and lost a little of the context when it did but Bikini Kill are the ones donating to TCP, not Bandcamp. We generally choose a different org or mutual aid fund to support on Bandcamp Fridays and this is what we chose this month.

Really cool new merch drop from @theanchoress.bsky.social for #BandcampFriday @bandcamp.com open.substack.com/pub/theancho...

I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it 😏

Now wondering if he calls Netanyahu daddy?!

Assumed this was Keir Starmer’s new Labour policy announcement before I got to the last line

You’ve got my vote 🙏

That means, in the same week that Farage called for non-UK citizens to be disenfranchised, he announced a new £3 million donation from a Thai-based investor 🤡

I’ve been thinking for days that there’s no reason they couldn’t do the same thing to Putin

Must be so sad to be Ukrainian and witness the USA burn through more missile interceptors in the first five days of the illegal war it started against Iran than it contributed to Ukraine's defence in the past 4 years.

False flag?

Exactly!

@katmabu.bsky.social made a great video about Christian nationalism if you’ve not seen it youtu.be/yri7mhxTZrg?...

Republican politicians and their evangelical Christian cohort are trying to kill the whole planet in order to bring Jesus back and they’re calling OTHER PEOPLE religious fanatic lunatics?? Jail for everyone immediately.

This Is Why British Politics Feels Broken Up to 28% of respondents are excluded from headline poll figures. Millions more cast votes that barely translate into representation. | Reading time: 12 mins

Any idea where the full data source is for this? Sky don’t link to it and can’t find it YouGov website

Curious how how much the don’t know and won’t vote has changed - feels like @zackpolanski.bsky.social’s approach is engaging the disengaged www.capsizemedia.org/this-is-why-...

I can’t seem to find the full data for this poll - YouGov voting intention doesn’t include don’t know and won’t vote. Be curious to see if Greens have engaged undecideds to shift these percentages

Totally agree about FPTP

Amazing that you can’t easily find the don’t know and won’t vote data

Sky News not even linking to the data source

I don't understand how the US just confirmed that they couldn't stop Netanyahu, so had to start a world war?!

Predictably, the right-wing culture war is wrong about the BRITs DiS crunches the data to see whether the pROteCt OuR gURLs brigade had anything to worry about.

Zack Polanski, "John Healy won't condemn US/Israel attack on Iran"

"I'm worried that the UK will be pulled into another illegal war"

Ditto :/

Apparently Jack Whitehall said something about Mandelson

“Look at all these politicians! I think i saw Peter Mandelson on the list. Oh wait! Wrong list”

Such a jolt to switch over from world war three on the news to Kpop Demon Hunters, Olivia Dean, and Raye on BRIT Awards

We need a better term than “vibe shift” for bridging what feels like parallel universes

ITV censoring Jack Whitehall’s comment about politics (Farage? Anyone know what he said?)
