I hate the concept of burning books but I'd fucking burn that.

The next time I hear about that POS I want it to be because he's been sent to prison.

Why is every scandal existential for Starmer? Because he has actively worked to eradicate his own support base. And that, along with the Mandelson decision, can be laid at McSweeney's door iandunt.substack.com/p/starmers-m...

Braverman is one of the most repulsive politicians out there. Vicious, fascistic, useless, without principle, loyalty or *any* actual genuine success to her name.
Just cheating, lying, letting people down and delivering failure. No wonder she feels she’s β€œcome home” to Reform. It’s a perfect fit.

The Playing for Change vids are great for when you are searching for some positivity in the world.

Prioritising balance over objectivity is the most cowardly exercise that a news outlet or journalist can engage in.

'The evidence shows X, but the regime says Y - so it's impossible to know the truth.'

Lies should not be afforded the same respect and credibility as the evidence that exposes them.

She would probably have said something similar about Venezuela before the attacks on them started.

Screenshot of an X (Twitter) post from The Tennessee Holler quoting Nancy Pelosi. The post includes a photo of Pelosi seated indoors during a TV interview, wearing an orange blazer. On-screen text references the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and claims the president incited an insurrection. A news-style lower-third graphic is visible.

Don’t let them rewrite history. Thank you, Nancy Pelosi, for speaking out.

You can keep the numbers down a bit if you throw them away when they get ten years past the use by date.

Ukip founder Alan Sked: 'The party has become a Frankenstein's monster' He may have founded Ukip, but Alan Sked's moderate, Brussels-boycotting party has gone rogue. Stuart Jeffries meets the academic who's desperate to stop the bandwagon he first set rolling

As for Farage’s use of racist slurs being confined to his childhood - well, that's not what Alan Sked, the founder of UKIP, claimed in this 2014 interview.

He says here that Farage was using the "n" word as late as 1997.

Farage would have been about 33 at time.

β€œIt isn’t people seeking sanctuary who are tearing our country apart. It’s toxic, racist narratives and the scapegoating of migrants for crises they did not cause.”

Carla Denyer challenges the Home Secretary's new immigration reforms saying they just fuel far-right narratives.

The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right.

There is a political alternative that won’t ever scapegoat those fleeing war, persecution and torture

Everything on our news agenda is being driven by a corrupted disinformation machine, run by a billionaire who sponsors Tommy Robinson and who keeps trying to foment civil war in the UK.

And incredibly our MPs & news providers stay there.

THAT is the problem. Not some bad editing choice on the BBC.

There were 115 prisoners mistakenly released in the final year of the last Conservative Government alone.

Interesting that it only becomes a major national scandal the second these releases can be blamed on a Labour government
