Listen to @zackpolanski.bsky.social

If he can speak up on behalf of you and me and make a rational case for a #WealthTax on the obscenely rich why the f*ck can’t Labour?

Because they’re owned β€” locked stock and well scraped barrel β€” by those same elites that resent chipping in.

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit

Both, as I wrote at time, were β€˜abject failures of journalism’

People currently spluttering that you can't criticise Starmer for things Peter Mandelson did are the same people who spent several years treating antisemitic tweets from anonymous 50-follower accounts like they were press releases direct from Labour head office.

I thought Watford defended against him really well. The opposition players are allowed to have a good game!

Just got back from the #SaintsFC game.
Watford were very good. They defended well and had two good wingers. They have Saints lots of problems.I thought saints were still the better team and deserved to win.
I hope Downes injury isn’t too serious.
Great debut goal for Larin.
Wellington MOM.

If you had a sewer of blood, why would you take a picture of it, and why would you then add that picture to the house listing?

What’s happening in America is technofascism. It could happen here Peter Thiel's data surveillance company Palantir is powering Trump's ICE operation in the US. Carole Cadwalladr argues that the UK will be next

NEW: What’s happening in the US is TECHNOFASCISM.

It’s fascism + surveillance technologies. Palantir is playing a central role. And the UK is next in line.

For me. There’s no point keeping Armstrong if he isn’t giving his all. He’s nowhere good enough to play at 85% and contribute anything worthwhile.

I think Portsmouth vs Southampton might be the best derby in English football.

In 10 reasons, with the help of Sunday's game, I tried to explain why.

Parker’s memorial stone, now inside the church on a wall.

Parker’s memorial stone, now inside the church on a wall.

The original memorial stone for Richard Parker, now located inside Pear Tree Church, Southampton. Parker was a 17-year-old cabin boy on board the yacht Mingonette, which was wrecked in the Indian Ocean on a voyage from Southampton to Australia on 5 July 1884.

Great news, gang: if you've got an extra 30 million bucks lying around, get in one little fight, and your mom gets scared, you can move in with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air!
