Mahmood loves Kristi Noem

Mahmood loves Kristi Noem

A reminder that Mahmood said she was inspired by the architect of the Minneapolis migrant crackdown, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who left "a lasting and positive impression on her."

Scottish Labour MP's partner among 3 men arrested on suspicion of spying for China A SCOTTISH Labour MP's partner is among three men arrested by counter-terror police on suspicion of spying for China and β€œtargeting UK…

Joani Reid is another of the 2024 intake of Labour MPsβ€”like Dover's Mike Tappβ€”who you wouldn't be able to place as Labour, Tory, or Reform based on her activities & rhetoric.

Monoparty to a T.

Jeremy Corbyn must decide.

Does he back the UK standing with Ukraine against Russian aggression, or does he align with Trump's isolationist appeasement of Putin? There is no sitting on the fence.

Objectively hilarious that the Labour politician who has persistently gone after the communist plant Jeremy Corbyn the hardest is, herself, the partner of an alleged agent for the Marxist-Leninist People's Republic of China.

And while the legacy media has been running cover for bigotry for a decade, nativist political parties have been refining their plans and rhetoric for when the time is right and neoliberalism drops the baton from its cold, dead hand.

This is not surprising because the aim to deport "home-grown" British ethnics was a significant underpinning of the Brexit vote.

We know this because people were happy to tell you about it.

Starmer kowtowing to Trump

Starmer kowtowing to Trump

The kowtowing, the knees calloused and bloody from constant genuflection, the lips chapped to buggery from ass-kissingβ€”I'm glad it was all worth it in the end.

Up until 2023, I'd have agreed with those saying the Isrælis would never act without the green light from their benefactors in the US first.

But given Rubio's statement & how Netanyahu degraded & horse-whipped Biden at every possible opportunity, who's to say the tail ain't wagging the dog now?

I was *shocked* to hear a presenter on Sky News the other day ask the question whether the United States govt was acting in a way that was "Isræl first", not "America first".

It's the kind of thing that got his colleague Belle Donati disappeared in 2024.

Things are changing.

This has been happening for three decades now, with a direct line from 1990s US talk radio to the early internet, online conspiracism codifying the language of the Right, pandemic radicalisation & the fight for eyeballs in the attention economy.

Wrote about it here. TLDR, it ain't gonna get better

"They said 'Mr President, you can't kiss a horse!' Maybe it's not a good idea. Some people would do it, but maybe not me. Not in public. Wouldn't go down too well, smooching with a beautiful horse. People might get the wrong impressionβ€”but horses are good people. Make EQUINES Great Again."

The horse's name was Incitatus. He lived in a marble stable and wore gold jewellery.
