Your daily reminder that the mentally-disordered Trump is not the problem; the malevolent or supine Congressional Republicans are.

Exactly. And it raises the question - has Starmer, the human rights lawyer, abandoned his principles? Or is he just a useless manager who assembled a team of useless SPADs and has no idea what they are up to?

anger at inequality, Keir Starmer’s move to the right and profound climate anxieties, with an overwhelming feeling of relief: “thank God someone’s saying this.”."

I don't think this can be emphasised enough:

"The recent boost he’s brought to the party’s profile combines the gnawing anxiety produced by rising Faragism, the experience of watching a genocide in real time,...

That the AAG of the US - once a serious and capable lawyer according to Ken - is making threats on Xitter and signing off with FAFO.

ETTD indeed.

The headline is spot on except human rights are inherent and cannot be abolished. What these scoundrels seek to abolish is protective legislation.

But they will ensure designated* in-groups keep their protections.

*designations can be revoked on the leader's whim

150K people marched in London a few weeks ago, to protest against immigration. UK population - 70 million.

In Amsterdam yesterday, 250K protested the government's Israel policy. NL population - 18 million.

Yet the right in both countries push the line that immigration is people's #1 concern

...you can safely conclude that you shat the bed

this is, of course, not new

“Jews run the world” and “trans women will attack you in the ladies room” and “that Black 10-year-old is a scary grown man” are all examples of the same deceptive reframing of where power lies so people can justify doing whatever they want

it’s evil every time

To everyone in Britain's Jewish Community: you are not alone. We will not let hate or those who spread it win. We stand with you.

On Yom Kippur many Jewish people in Britain have their phones off to mark the holy day.

As it ends at 723pm, some will hear the tragic Manchester news for the first time.

At that time, please join many of us to send a message of solidarity to British Jews.Thanks Together coalition for proposing.

Imagine you're a career military general being summoned for a pentagon strategy lecture by a former game show host and a former weekend talk show host.

Self-serving rubbish. People of faith have undoubtedly played key roles in the history of the Labour Party, but so have atheists, free thinkers, Unitarians, rationalists, humanists or whatever people with no belief in a higher being want to call themselves. Faith itself was never foundational.

Just to be clear:
- Paracetamol does not cause autism.
- Sadiq Khan is not introducing Sharia law in the UK
- We do not have a massive free speech problem here.
- Britain is not on the verge of civil war.
These are not controversial subjects or contested, they're just not true.

I wish it was known what Mary Anne Trump was chugging during the pregnancy that produced her fourth child so women would know what to avoid.

Sadly, it is his truth! The bubble of narcissism, self-delusion and flattery in which he resides is impermeable to truth.

I wish Stumpy Fingers would bring back Dr Deborah Birx so she could sit there looking gobsmacked again.

" Both commonly and in psychology, ... [it] is regarded as a derogatory social stereotype." Is your belligerence in defense of stereotyping related to something physical about you?

"...a purported condition normally attributed to men of short stature or dwarfism, with overly aggressive or domineering social behavior. It implies that such behavior is to compensate for the subject's physical or social shortcomings."

He really is an embarrassment. But arguably (marginally) better than his predecessor.

WTF has his height go to do with it?

"I am not anti-vaccine. Some of my best friends are vaccines"

Was the working title "The Chop Shop Around the Corner"?

Written by a doctor at St Thomas' Hospital, London after the Tommy Robinson march on 13/9.

This must be a watershed moment. The government's continued use of X is no longer simply negligent. It is an act of conscious assistance to violent extremism.

Photos of Yaxley Lennon/Robinson and Musk talking on video link and a bloodied protester. …murdered in cold blood this week and people on the left celebrating it openly. "The left is the party of murder and celebrating murder. I mean, let that sink in for a minute, that's who we're dealing with here." He said that the British public were "scared to exercise their [right to] free speech" and claimed the BBC was "com-plicit in the destruction of Britain". When they finished their conversa-tion, Robinson said: "Not only are we in the fight right now, but we're on advance thanks to free speech being fought for, for us, by Elon Musk." By about 4pm riot police, backed by mounted patrols and dog units, were struggling to protect a group of masked antifascists hemmed in at the top of Whitehall. Missiles and flares were thrown by Robinson supporters, with some hitting officers. Many chanted abuse at the police, mocked officers and spat at them. The Met said on X: "Officers are having to intervene in multiple locations to stop Unite the Kingdom protesters trying to access sterile areas, breach police cordons or get to opposing groups. A number of officers have been assaulted." It later added: "The turnout for the Unite the Kingdom protest was too big to fit into Whitehall. Protesters left the route on to Victoria Embankment and sought to access Whitehall from multiple directions ... When officers moved in to stop them, they faced unacceptable violence. They were assaulted with kicks and punches. Bottles, flares and other projectiles were thrown." More than 1,600 officers were deployed to deal with the demonstrations as well as several football fixtures in the capital. At least 500 police had been drafted in from forces outside London, including the Merseyside, Humberside

Musk, Tommy Robinson - fascist Britain. A hellpit of violence and racism. They’re using our flag as their rallying cry. And X as their megaphone.
No more appeasement.
No more ‘legitimate concerns’ horseshit.
It’s beyond time to sanction Musk, regulate X and shut these fuckers down.

(Sunday Times)

Musk is inciting violence on London's streets.Tommy Robinson is financed by US tech bros. These are all very direct attempts to destabilise the British state.

Starmer needs to stand up to this. A government that doesn't defend its country's values against these blatant attacks is not doing its job.

Elon Musk is a wealthy foreign individual attemting to interfere directly in our political process and to stimulate violence on our streets. For our government to ignore this would send the wrong signal to the world. They must do something now.

Rufo's hero appoints performing seals to critical positions and the problem is the seal?

Good on Starmer for acting swiftly and decisively for once. However, it has been asserted that Mandelson was "thoroughly vetted". Humbug! Simple common sense should have disqualified Mandelson in the first place. The man has always shared an ecological niche with the remora.
