The self centered, power crazed right wing bigot should never have been allowed in office. But the new right wing Labour need compromised politicians.

U.S. political system is CRAP๐Ÿคฎ

British Prime Minister with No epstein links might be an indirect casualty of tRump files ...

while U.S. 'president', who's in files more than epstein, gets to Carry On as per Normal!

Sort out your feekless political system, U.S. - it Needs Major overhaul

But there won't be, because Republicans hate brown people and LGBTQ people more than they hate Pedophiles.

It's also their Evangelical Ideals - They want to be able to marry 13 year olds.

This myth making around Starmer "the decent man" has got to end! He knew exactly what he was doing appointing Mandelson and the line he was just badly advised isn't working we don't believe it!

I will always be sad that I departed from Monkey Cage but the relief I feel about being able to speak out about abusers and bigots without expecting a phone call upbraiding or questioning me is a relief - so much anxiety expelled

Nigel Farage's pitch to the worst people in Britain Nigel Farage says that he wants to cut the price of a pint by 5p, and pay for it by re-imposing economic sanctions on British children for the "crime" of having more than one sibling.

last dressing down I got from Monkey Cage execs on day I resigned was for a Bluesky comment on some of the sexual abusers who had been close to Prince Charles - Mountbatten, Van Der Post, Peter Ball - I didnโ€™t do it to be sensational, I did it because it shows how abuse is just ignored by power

Labour: Trying to lose, or merely expendable? TLDR: when a lobbying faction effectively controls the highest polling political parties, does it matter to them which of those parties wins, any more?\nIntro Recently, political blogger and YouTuber ...

Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman becomes latest Tory defect to Reform UK saying 'it feels like I've come home' | LBC She becomes the latest in a slew of Conservatives to join Nigel Farage's party.

It's looking more and more like a reverse take-over of the Conservative Party by Nigel Farage.

The main Labour MP's and leadership, are funded by the same groups and corporations as Conservatives and Reform. I think they only exist to present the illusion of choice. While the country slowly gets increasingly right wing

Green actually seem to be a true change, with no corporate interference

A reminder to the news media: โ€œconflicting accountsโ€ is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

ANOTHER ANGLE. This man was NOT brandishing a firearm. He was holding his phone. He then put his body between ICE thugs and woman. He was then sprayed with a chemical agent, tackled, disarmed, and executed. Plain as day. DO NOT let them tell you otherwise.

so 'labour together' goons like @darrenpjones.bsky.social, wes streeting, @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social have failed to attract any of the bigoted voters they're targeting with their racism and transphobia but they've also enraged the rest of of us to the point we'll never vote labour again.

As much as I support democracy for all, I sometimes think an IQ test and political course should be compulsory. The bottom 1/3 get a reduced or no vote. These people barely have reasoning skills above a toddler.
