"A 1980s style pre-woke progressive" steeped in the "rules based international order" which only became a touchstone idea in the 2010s.

The idea that he'd be most comfortable in the anti apartheid movement also hilarious.

*toasts not towers

Would Melba towers make an adequate substitute maybe?

That and the "not for barrier use" condoms are a hell of a pairing

Apart from anything else, that's not countless, that's 6, only one of which looks under 35.

Tbf "More right wing than Thatcher" describes every PM since Thatcher, including the Labour ones.

Every one of them built on and deepened her reforms, none of them rolled them back. He could be the most left prime minister since Thatcher and still be more right wing than her.

(you're right though)

Damn, he has great penismanship.

As a bass player, I agree. Also as a bass player, I have no idea how to do a solo.

I'm a fair-minded person, maybe they can just be offered the opportunity to jump the shark. If any of them are as cool as the Fonz, they get to live.

Since when did he have a conscience?

Post from r/crochet that says "mods are gone. All hail Mr. Nipples" and its a picture of the most disgusting crocheted doll/creature thats pink and has a creepy smile and horns and big pink nipples. It's truly horrifying

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

I don't know anything about 3D printing, but it's always infuriating when the manufacturer recommendations that I cheerfully ignored are actually important.

it's not great when the consultation landing page continues the labour habit of just making things up where immigration rules are concerned. SETTLEMENT IS NOT GRANTED AUTOMATICALLY. absolute joke of a government

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

Periodic reminder that what's marketed as 'youth social media bans' actually amounts to requiring people to provide personally identifying information in order to access whatever content a given government disfavours.

Analysis Pat McFadden: the most powerful Labour politician most have never heard of Pippa Crerar Role preparing for election will see McFadden shape party's direction, but it is likely to be done quietly

McFadden, 58, is a veteran of Tony Blair's era, working on the 1997 election campaign alongside Peter Mandelson and Alastair Campbell, becoming the prime minister's political secretary in 2002, before entering parliament in 2005 as MP for Wolverhampton South East, a seat with one of the highest levels of deprivation in the country. When Mandelson, by then a peer, was made business secretary in 2008, McFadden was his deputy, running parts of the department and representing it in the House of Commons. "Pat has seen it all," he says. "He is a walking encyclopedia of political and policy knowledge, and experience in government." Mandelson describes his former No 2 as "pure New Labour", adding: "He's solid, hard- nosed, centre-left. He lives and breathes it.

opened was displayed prominently. Inside the open-plan space, directing his troops, sat McSweeney and his core team. Pat McFad- den, the MP and national campaign coordina- tor, was one of the party's most experienced hands and a regular spokesperson in the media. He provided political leadership on key decisions and gave reassurance to candi- dates and officials alike, as the trusted front- line politician in the heart of operations. Alongside these two men were some hugely influential women: Hollie Ridley, the field teams director; Ellie Reeves, the shadow Chancellor's sister and McFadden's deputy; Marianna McFadden, Pat's wife and McSweeney's deputy; and Deborah Mattin- son, research expert and director of strategy.

Whilst we’re reflecting on Mandelson’s remarkably enduring influence on the current Labour Party, & thinking about further questions to be asked, I hope we’ll not forget Pat McFadden, surely a likely conduit for Mandelson’s advice, & repeatedly described as one of Starmer’s most trusted allies.

Six Palestine Action activists were cleared today of aggravated burglary over a protest at an Israeli weapons firm in 2024. The jury also cleared three defendants of violent disorder and failed to reach a verdict on a GBH charge – charges that are the basis of the group's labelling as "terrorists"

fair play though, what a shot

Wasn't there a guy who tried that, and literally everyone in the party and the media (including the New Statesman) screamed at full volume until that brief aberration was resolved, putting the shockingly corrupt Sensible Moderates back in charge?

The people who tell you we don’t need rent controls are the same people lining their pockets from charging over £1000 a month to live in a kitchen.

Not a fresh observation, but we're absolutely on course to recognise personhood in Rubbish Autocorrect before we recognise it in children, trans people, disabled people, and refugees.

"microtransactions in games started by cabal of pedophile elites for the purpose of indoctrinating kids into an economy"

Ok. Well, we all knew it was evil somehow but I really didn't expect Epstein to be responsible for why video games are bad now. That's just not what I would've thought.
