Reform Attacks Byline Times For ‘Attempting to Derail a Democratic Election’ – Before Blaming ‘Family Voting’ and ‘Muslim Sectarianism’ for Gorton and Denton Defeat Having imported its own ideas for a DOGE and ICE from the US, Farage’s party now appears to be copying the Trumpian tactics of alleging vote-rigging in elections

Snowflakes Goodwin, Farage and Reform are upset that there is still some independent media standing up to them to inform voters about how dodgy and elitist they are

It's almost like they hate anything that resembles democracy...

Nic Carter is an immigrant and naturalized citizen who, by his own account, wants America to be more like Communist China.

It turns out there are a few immigrants who openly reject our traditions, our values, and our way of life.

And, overwhelmingly, they’re MAGA.

Think this is right and it is a big part of the major dysfunctions of our politics the extent to which it attracts men who think shouting at things makes them heroic fixers and the job of women is to get out of the way.

If Labour wants to take its revenge on the Greens it should make Hannah Spencer the head of the Houses of Parliament Restoration and Relocation Committee

Ed West's getting a wee bit racist, lads and lasses: 'native conservatives', 'immigrants and exotics', 'watch out, the dirty Muslims are going to outbreed us and take over', etc.

We know our common enemy, because it's the one currently in power attacking us all. bsky.app/profile/nate...

There's no way to do science as long as Kennedy holds power. There's no amount of evidence that can convince him of anything, and if you think there is you're playing the wrong game. Science is downstream of the institutions, therefore, science cannot be neutral about the institutions.

I guess this is why it's so hard to see Ivy League universities cut deals with the administration or the NYT frame every single political issue as a good faith debate between two equivalent sides. Your whole existence depends on not living in an authoritarian state. Act like it.

Only Larry Summers would be so stupid and naive to think you could get Alan Dershowitz to stop talking to the press.

if that get out clause is good enough for the Today Programme when reporting family voting then it's good enough for me on bluesky

The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English.

He spent a year in jail for this.

In Gorton and Denton, the Muslim vote is fracturing Voters have decisively turned against Labour

In the focus group of Muslim voters I sat in on, the Greens' policies on trans rights and drug legalisation were brought up. Participants either supported those positions, or didn't much care. Not what you'd expect from an unintegrated, socially conservative bloc

Do you reckon the people who voted for a blonde woman as the candidate for a progressive party led by a gay jewish man aren't actually motivated by some scary conservative 'islamist' agenda? Who'd of thunk it?

Keir is so mad about the drugs thing he can’t see straight and see how mad it makes him seem

Labour talked about going after the Greens and immigrants when they lost.
Reform talked about 'anti woke' and 'islamists' when they lost.
The Greens talked about 'everybody' when they won.

But sure, Keir, it's the Greens who are tearing the coutnry apart.

The Greens winning has definitely hit The Mail where it hurts…

Imagine devoting your entire career to selling the idea that the British public hates wokery and is clamouring for radical right wing populism, only to then be defeated in an actual election by the most left wing possible coalition of politicians and activists in the country.

It's got to hurt

The biggest problem with the UK's political system is that colossal pieces of shit can write abhorent nonsense like this in a journal famous for publishing vile poison... and still have everyone come to their garden party because it's all a bit of a lark and all in good fun eh chaps wot wot.

But if working people didn't have to give a big chunk of their money to banking, insurance, car and oil businesses just to be able to exist in society, what then? It's like you want to make Global Capital sad, Tom

I hear there's a hack to somehow send your kids to school without paying any fees

Labour did everything the popularists like Matt Yglesias want. They cracked down on trans people and immigrants. They pushed austerity. They ended up fracturing their entire base and losing this seat to the left for the first time in nearly a 100 years.

"Cyclists are placed at the center of the narrative, while motorists are either omitted or reduced to their vehicles... Making these biases visible is essential for challenging motonormativity"

In breakfast room in hotel in #mumbai & you can’t imagine the joy & relief I’m feeling right now . Congratulations Hannah Spencer & the Greens 💚, the media & political establishment threw everything against them ( & will continue to do so 😵‍💫) but the message of change & hope won through 💚🙌🏼

Matt Badloss is continuing to take his defeat by the Greens incredibly badly

There is a reasonably sized Muslim electorate in Gorton and Denton, but after swinging from talk about a 24k/79k electorate in Denton who were going to deliver Goodwin the seat, now it's the 30% Muslim population (probably less of the electorate) who apparently got the Greens 40% of the vote

I have to say, I am genuinely so happy. And most of all not for me. My daughter will turn 3 months on Sunday. She is my whole world. Raluca is an immigrant. According to Matt, this makes my daughter potentially not British. To be notionally represented by that man I would consider a genuine outrage

"The Conservative party is still big. It's the votes that got small"
