Gorton and Denton, a very poor working class suburb of Manchester just voted against evil anti immigrant bullshit.

When they say "working class" they just mean white and violent. They don't mean working class.

Fundamentally it's trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist outside twitter fascists and Fleet Street racists

Israelis panic as Netanyahu reportedly flees to Greece while Iran batters Israel War criminal Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly fled to Greece as Iran rattles Tel Aviv with a series of missiles

“War criminal Benjamin Netanyahu has fled and flown to Greece – like he did in last year’s ’12-day war’ – as retaliatory Iranian missiles batter Israel.” - He and his family are safe, while he leaves the sons and daughters of your family, to die. Coward!

300,000 children face 10-year wait for settled status under UK plans, says IPPR Thinktank analysis says proposed ‘earned settlement’ changes could trap families in prolonged insecurity

The futility of these policies (if they’re meant to attract ‘hero voters’) was known prior to Gorton; the result just reinforced the point. Being nasty & electorally ineffective is quite a trick but it makes you wonder if some are doing this out of genuine belief. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.

Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

Hard to argue

No Ukip election petition in Oldham in 2015.
No Brexit Party election petition in Peterborough in 2019
nor Reform in Rochdale 2024.
Nor Gorton/Denton

Electoral integrity should be taken v seriously. Shouting fraud while never producing any evidence does not do that.

Just naked racism from Farage and the Mail.

Only British and commonwealth citizens are allowed to vote. It's not 'stealing' to legally take part in your own country's elections

Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal and created this mess. Now, he's putting servicemembers in harm's way with no clear plan and no Congressional approval. The American people deserve answers — and Congress needs to do its job.

You've killed Ayatollah Khameini, the leader of a theocracy, in the middle of Ramadan........

Heavy attacks on #Kramatorsk and ##Slovyansk today. Four confirmed deaths due to drone and rocket strikes on civilian homes and thermal power plant. Power cut to both cities for a while. Ongoing strikes, more power cuts expected. #Ukraine #putin #Russia

Paul escaped doom so many times. Told he would never walk again after the attack that killed his friend Marie Colvin. They never got him in the end though. He followed his own path to the end

X Is Drowning in Disinformation Following US and Israel’s Attack on Iran WIRED has reviewed hundreds of posts on X that promote misleading claims about the locations and scale of the attack.

Minutes after Donald Trump announced that the US and Israeli governments had launched a “major combat operation” against Iran, disinformation about the attack and Tehran’s response flooded X.

Fuck all the Blue Magats overjoyed at the atrocities being committed by the US and Israel in Iran, because it affords them an opportunity to gloat and bash those who couldn't bring themselves to vote for Harris because of her support for genocide.

and then, in the middle of the night, we all found out that — holy fucking shit — the fucking idiot has now taken us to an unprovoked and illegal war with Iran, because ‘obliterated.’

too many people are being waaaayyyy too consent manufacturing shaped right now dawg. they fucking blew up kids. if your gut reaction to what's going on right now is anything less than "holy hell this should never have happened and it needs to stop immediately" you need to do a lot of self reflection

Wtf... 😖 The "West" has gone completely and utterly mad...

I remember Farage moaning about 'family voting' when Labour won a by-election in Oldham (I think) back in 2015-16. He does it whenever brown people are voting for something.

I note that nobody is making any effort to convince the public the new Iran war is good and moral. It’s just far rightists and wingnut crackpots forming a great raging circlejerk composed entirely of themselves and each other, having a whale of a time together.

Just out of interest I googled Mark Birkbeck and he's an RCP/LM/Spiked nutcase. I was around the RCP in the late 80s and firmly believe that it's an op.

For how much the centre and right dont stop about antisemitism, they don’t ever say anything when Jewish people on the left are subjected to it

Quick as a flash, Zack Polanski is now being targeted by members of the Spiked/LM/RCP cult under one of their recent fronts called Our Front. In the past, the same deeply incestuous group has championed climate denial, defended the anti-Bosnian genocide and yes, stood up for pedophiles.
