Hi credibility is shot to feck, Peter. This is not just about Mandelson. It's about almost every decision he's taken since entering number 10 including the enabling of genocide.

Centrist neoliberals have really shown their true colours over the last fortnight & none of it is pretty.

Starmer's destroying Labour & handing Britain over to a global far-right that will likely hunt down all three pillars of his traditional support base, annihilate the poor & any last shred of ecological stability. This is worse than moral failure: it's existential defeatism & grotesque arrogance.

Over 40,000 protestors killed in Iran reports suggest. Why is there no the same level of outrage about this as there is (and should be) over similar fatalities in Gaza? Is it just lack of access to media?

When a state is serial killing legal observers you know you're in a civil war.

Unbearable cruelty.

Govt minister Heidi Alexander says they want to see "proper democratic values" back in the heart of Iran

Back? A reminder that it was the USA and UK who overthrew democracy in Iran in 1953 in order to protect their oil interests. A look at Venezuela tells us not much has changed

“If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer… And a people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind…And with such a people you can then do what you please.”

Hannah Arendt

Who agrees? ✋

The left and green left need effective podcasts, and they need them now.

Broadcasting every detail of the Bondi attack while ignoring the six young people starving to death in British jails & the 100s of 1000s living & dying under inhuman conditions in Gaza just tells us that morality at BBC News has collapsed.

Karam, this is great work and I'm so grateful you're doing it.

It may not matter to you, but if it does, a few of the names could do with a check & change where there are extra or missing letters.

The telegraph Falling rents. Rising wages. Perhaps stopping immigration works Real living standards might grow if the UK replicates Trump's mass deportation policies Matthew Lynn 06 Dec 2025 - 07:00AM GMT

There has also been a clampdown on fresh visas and the citizens of entire countries have been banned from trav-elling to the United States. Trump has had a mixed second term so far, but on one major issue, he has kept his campaign promises. He has dramatically driven immigration down. We are starting to see what kind of impact that is having on the American economy and - so far - it is surprisingly positive. Who knows, perhaps a few more developed countries should give it a try. An endless supply of cheap workers might not be as vital as we keep getting told it is. If there was one issue that delivered Trump's decisive election victory last November, it was immigration. As he closes the first year of his second term, he has delivered on the pledge to reduce it. According to figures quoted by Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, half a million illegal immigrants have been deported, and another million and a half have left of their own accord.

The British commentariat are to the right of Oswald Mosley and Enoch Powell. They are an existential threat to the UK—they say ‘jump’; the government says ‘how high?’

It'd be helpful for cars to have speed limiters for 20mph areas. I don't have a car (environment), but whenever I drive my mum's old Panda I find that 20mph is difficult to maintain in any gear. I usually end up driving at 15mph in 2nd, which infuriates folk behind but is at least safe.

An economist from Ghana told me that a bonus reason for promoting wind and solar power is that it’s much harder to use for corruption and repressive geopolitics.

Remind me again. Who is in favour of fossil fuels?

But the rich get richer.

Imo this is the worst betrayal of Britain so far: handing our most personal & national security-critical data to a far-right owned global corp already implicated in genocide via Israel's alleged use of Palantir targeting tech. Unforgivable, & guess who's paying them? During a cost of living crisis.

I remember when I became fully UBI pilled during the worst of covid and that position is a lock for life.

Especially since all institutional pathways for anyone vaguely like him are cynically blocked. Just ask Faiza Shaheen. Why? Well the fear is that the actual politics would be popular

Former White House Historian Offers Dire Warning After Entire East Wing Is Demolished

It's just the beginning...

At least 25 states plan to cut off food aid benefits in November The pause in benefits for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program would begin in states from California to Arkansas just before the busy holiday season.

This is just awful. If you are position to donate to your local food bank, they are going to need our help more than ever.

Palantir needs driving out of British infrastructure as a matter of urgent national security. This is a hostile takeover & the fact Labour are as complicit as the Tories = the end of political trust.

Starmerism = austerity, authoritarianism, co-operation with the Israeli genocide & Palantir. NOPE.

Bari Weiss "is a self-described 'Zionist fanatic.' The idea that a 'neutral media organization' is led by someone who has a long history as a pro-Israel ideologue...is really worrying. I think there will be a lot more censorship of Palestinian voices." - me to Piers Morgan about CBS News and Weiss:

UN experts have said the IDF's "targeted destruction" of Gaza's health-care system amounts to "medicide." The UN has accused Israel of deliberately attacking and starving health-care workers, paramedics and hospitals in order to wipe out medical care in the besieged enclave.

Same, and I am mad as hell about it. Britain is a filthy outlier that now won't even give boosters to former cancer patients in their 60s, living with one kidney and other immunity-compromised conditions. Both successive govts and the UKHSA have failed us.

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

Labour is failing because the comfortably-off don't understand how desperate for culture and meaning the lower economic classes are. They talk about the "importance of jobs" as though servitude in any role for any recompense is better than time spent creating, connecting or thinking. It isn't.
