Rayner declares war on allotments Councils could cash in on public gardens to tackle funding crisis under new rules

Mustn't let people find joy in their lives. Miserable, nasty person.

sure i am male but there's just no place in london (england, really) i would worry at all about wandering around alone at any time of night.

This is fully "dying days of a disgustingly unpopular government" stuff and it's barely been a year.

and it absolutely sucks to have your phone stolen but nonviolent theft (usually just grabbed off a table or maybe snatched from your hand) isn't really something to be scared of

"Grand had her necklace nicked after watching Hamilton" would be a big story and yet

Many lawyers have convinced themselves they have some sort of advanced superscience training when it is a humanities degree (nothing wrong with that) plus a trade

Some lighter things, there are some very funny details in all of these "here's how we lied and undermined democracy to get Starmer as Prime Minister" books and it's that Starmer's almost always described as the dumbest cunt alive by everyone. Just a total halfwit. I love it.

I am sure that demographic is a dating horrorshow but yes more for the reasons you day

Not that it is everything, but "broke up with longtime partner" explains quite a bit

People are comparing Labour endoring fascist rioters with Trump's speech on Charlottesville but while he said there were good people on both sides Starmer would never praise antifascists.

"We are going to fund everything by skimming 40% from every grant" somehow does not scale

it's getting worse (more british) in the US, but the deep unwavering belief that most (99%) of the population are inferior pigs, too stupid to tie their shoes, is not quite as ingrained

still isolating it on The Right (tories, reform) while pretending not to hear Labour

"What i learned on my first day of therapy is everyone should be in therapy" seems to be a too common reaction

because his real name is Nigel Incubator Jones

though thinking there are 2000 people in the UK who matter (including me of course) is essentially equivalent to being a blood and soil racist

There's always time for a journo to pull Ms. Eagle up on this drastic change in attitude toward right-wing arguments and their legitimation by the leader of the party of which she is a member. It would hammer home to the public the transformation that has happened in the Labour Party. Any time.

like the 'bats and newts' thing but 100x worse. brits believe they fucking love this stuff, whether or not they really do

Angela Eagle Refused To Appear On TV With Diane Abbott The Labour leadership contender threatened to walk out when she found out the shadow health secretary would be in the same studio, sources say.

You’ll recall that when we said this is *exactly* what these people are like and how they will always behave, the world’s dumbest libs freaked out and told the public that was horrible tribalism, bullying thuggery. And yet here they are, doing all the stuff we said they would do, given the chance.

we did get a "sorry i fucked up you were all correct" out of windmill jolyon, have we got one out of mlc

We said that these people were just like this and that this is what they wanted to do, and what they would do. I recall that correctly predicting this was combination Stalin-Hitlerism, but worse. How to explain this?

(scans through the front pages of the newspapers every day, as helpfully promoted by the BBC) must be twitter

can still debate various aspects of its implementation but from the point of view of people the propped-up-in-various-ways-by-the-government standard US 30 year fixed rate mortgage with no prepayment penalty is about right for government mortgage policy.

Most racist government of my lifetime. More racist than May & Patel. They were merely the warm-up routine

Funny how they don't hear the worries of the people peacefully protesting a genocide.

Labour has a racist agenda and they know exactly what they're doing.

This is full-fat fascism from a Labour minister. Legitimising the idea that people seeking asylum represent a danger when compared to any other UK citizen is legitimising the far-right. To say that the government 'hears the worries' is to give credence to fascist conspiracy theories.

The question of an anti-immigration ‘protest’ leading to someone’s death is no longer a matter of if, but when, and when it happens, I hope we will all remember who the people in charge were that touted their own fecklessness and handed the perpetrators license to take matters into their own hands.

BeijingPalmer @beijingpalmer.bsk... • 54m large parts of UK politics are swinging far-right with very, very frightening speed, and racists are getting increasingly open about expressing their bigotry. Sharon @sharonk.bsky.social • 1h it's "cool" that every conservative pundit in the UK basically seems to want to turn the country into Norsefire ... Saul Staniforth @saulstaniforth.bsk... • 6m Govt minister Angela Eagle is asked what her message is to people on the streets shouting "get this scum off our streets" & holding banners saying 'protecting women & children is not far right, its just right' In her reply Eagle says "we hear your worries"

Everybody knows what’s happening, everyone can see what’s happening, and everybody can see who the people are who are trying to make it happen.

Yes he believes the median voter is himself and he is a romney republican
