I’ve been saying the political and media class don’t think about people of colour as actual voters and think there’s about 1000 of us here fresh off the Windrush. Instead of 10 million people. You can’t afford to piss us off for your Reform voter baiting.

Next: the London local elections in May.

anyway the sadistic ways young women are treated and how it's just...accepted that it's ok to treat them that way. you can point at epstein all you want but it's not just him or "that lot"

all these girls are so dehumanised that even years later there's barely a shred of remorse

Emily Maitlis says her BBC work led to closure of UK's only youth gender clinic Former BBC Newsnight journalist Emily Maitlis has said her work on the programme led to the closure of England's only youth gender clinic.

Your reminder that close friend of Peter Mandelson (the guy who was also close personal friend & corrupt enabler of Jeffrey Epstein) Emily Maitlis claims personal credit for creating the moral panic around the Tavistock gender care clinic.

This has never, ever been about the safety of children.

Keir travelled very lightly,’ says a former Labour official. β€˜He never defined himself, and when he came in, he was defined by events. Mike Tyson said β€œEveryone has a plan until they get punched in the face.” The problem was Keir didn’t have a plan.’ In opposition, Labour tied itself in knots over trans rights rather than debate whether, with money very tight, it was sensible to rule out major tax rises. As a senior figure under Starmer puts it bluntly: β€˜We spent more time working out whether chicks could have dicks than on a programme for government.’

Is being a repulsive bigot who uses slurs to describe minority groups a prerequisite for being a β€œsenior figure under Keir Starmer” or….?

This was WILD. And that’s saying a lot considering just how fucked up that time was. See also the usual centrist clowns clutching their pearls over Corbyn’s β€œinappropriate” coat

lmao it's not granted automatically and also you have to pay to apply, do a test, fill out forms...and you can still be rejected (and won't get your money back)

the immigration system in the UK is a nightmare to navigate and nothing is ever "given" to you

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

cannot possibly convey how actually crazy-making it can feel, after spending 20 years monitoring all these orgs blaming sex workers and the internet for enabling a vast sex trafficking network, to now see Jeffery Epstein’s inbox

Keir Starmer knew that Peter Mandelson continued his close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein after Epstein's conviction for child sex offences.

He brought him into the heart of the Labour government anyway.

Starmer cannot continue as Prime Minister. He must go.

The entire Labour Party in the UK was remade by these insider dickheads so it would entirely be a party of right wing hacks, their corrupt funders, and their media buddies, and what was hailed as brilliance a year and a half ago now looks set to hand the country to the ludicrous Farage far right.

A Day for Gaza Today, The Nation is turning over its website exclusively to stories from Gaza and its people. This is why.

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza.

We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

This bastion of moral virtue has opinions about the Green Party.

Just remember that as they continue to attack us.

This is who they are. Mask is off.

thinking about those people kicked out the labour party for liking a post by the green party on Facebook or similar. nice democratic structures you got there you pal.

Might be worth asking what sort of media ecosystem we’re operating in where the governing party is applauded for cracking down on a bunch of nobodies over Facebook posts, while a prominent public figure posting bigoted screeds under his own name can be smoothly elevated to an electoral candidacy.

To say my drop in surgeries are β€˜unique’ - housing, youth work, alcohol pricing and er a call for mandelson to thrown out of labour…!

someone came to you in person to raise concerns about Mandelson over 12 years ago. his connections to Epstein had already been reported in some of the UK's biggest papers, and he was several times disgraced beyond that.

you chose to mock yr constituent's concern publicly to your large following

You think it’s bad now that Labour is selling off our most precious or sensitive resources to Palantir? Wait until Palantir’s ideological kin, Farage and Reform, get in power. Labour’s cowardice and betrayal knows no limit under Starmer.

ScouseOracle on IG has been highlighting how the stated NHS data protections are no such thing either.
Our health data will be available across borders.
Palantir has already used US data to assist ICE, never mind data in occupied Palastine.
