Per @joxley.jmoxley.co.uk: 'Reform has gobbled up a large chunk of the right-leaning youth, this is reallocation within an already shrinking bloc [...] rather than a far-right surge, the youth vote in the UK shows a remarkable opposite trend: a surge of progressive voting, including among young men'

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

it’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

Independent headline, 4th February 2026: 'UK will release files related to Mandelson's ambassador appointment in more Epstein fallout'

Watching the usual political circus unfold.

Mandelson is now playing the usual lightning-rod role for an outraged political establishment. Little to no acknowledgement he’s the tip of an iceberg.

This is part of a political culture that’s pushing our democracy towards corporate oligarchy.

'Peter Mandelson's Fixing of Keir Starmer’s Visit to Spytech Firm Palantir Raises Serious Questions' Palantir was represented by a lobbying firm founded by Mandelson, Iain Overton and Max Colbert report

If Mandelson is being investigated for his Epstein connections, he must also be investigated for his Thiel connections, because they ran a joint fund when Mandelson fixed Starmer's visit to Palantir

My favorite genre of Epstein emails are powerful people emailing WITH JEFFREY EPSTEIN about how MeToo has gone too far and the woke mob must be stopped.

Sure the 🇬🇧 media will be all over this 🙄

“Without foreign money and a complicit UK media, Nigel Farage would still be working in the City as a low-level commodities trader.

And the United Kingdom would be an altogether greener and more pleasant land.”

Landlords cannot wait to tell you that being a landlord is actually one of the worst ways to make money and that they can barely make ends meet. It makes you wonder why they're so keen to be landlords in the first place tbh.

Sky news breaking news image showing Peter Mandelson with the headline: Lord Mandelson has resigned from the Labour Party

In the UK, a Prince was stripped of all his titles and thrown out of the Royal household.

The UK Ambassador to the US was fired and has just resigned from his party in disgrace.

In America, a man connected more deeply to the same pedophile sex ring remains the President.

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

So weird that the guy they chose to direct the Melania Bribe-Umentary was a Me Too-canceled has been pictured with Epstein and another Epstein-backed child sex trafficker who also *killed himself* in prison

So many coincidences!

One of the most disgusting, brutal and unpunished child‑abuse networks in the world…

And the usual voices who claim to care about ‘women and girls’ have nothing to say.

We see you.

He’s literally putting his “I could shoot someone…and not lose any votes”’ claim to the test.

Without the BBC Farage would’ve been nothing more than a fringe crank. Standard stuff again

The Guardian view on deepening poverty in the UK: a catastrophic Tory legacy has cut millions adrift | Editorial Editorial: A new Joseph Rowntree report underlines the corrosive impact of years of anti-welfare rhetoric. A reframing of the debate is urgently needed

“No progress at all was made in reducing overall levels of relative hardship”

Misery caused by Tory austerity and failures of governance; prioritising ruinous ideology over social investment.
Reform wants voters to be angry, but plans more of exactly the same.

The defection of Suella Braverman, who was sacked twice from Government in disgrace, spent £700m of taxpayers' money to send four volunteers to Rwanda on a deportation scheme that was then scrapped and has a public approval rating of minus 32 is currently being described as a "major coup" for Reform

It's a good job Nigel Farage didn't inadvertently overclaim a fiver on Universal Credit, because he'd really be in trouble then

🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇

There you have it.

ICE has never been about immigration enforcement.

It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

At the pedophile führer's Board of Peace signing, Jared Kushner revealed slides of the Trump crime family's latest grift, a "New Gaza." Billions of dollars will be made by instigating a forced Palestinian diaspora. Massive skyscrapers will be built over the bones of Palestinians.

I must reiterate.

What. The. Actual. Fuck. Was. Garland. Doing.

The government is living in an alternate reality. During WW2, Michael Foot and others wrote Guilty Men about the disastrous failure of the British elite’s appeasement policy: their inability to grasp the world they were living in. He’d have a field day with this lot.

The world learned today that you absolutely have to bully this dumb old asshole as a collective. Better late than never for them, but we better get used to being aggressively humiliated for the next few years.
