You can understand the Iranian regime is oppressive and murderous and also understand that this war of aggression against it is illegal and immoral and that those who will suffer the most from it are the people of Iran.

He's right to highlight potential cheating in the election. One of the parties was found to have broken electoral law during the campaign. It was... um... let's see... ah, yes... Reform

Starmer's letter to Labour MPs should be cause enough for them to oust him.

They don't actually believe this, it's another lie. The point is to sow the lie and reap the hate. The Trump-Bannon playbook.

I was at the count in Gorton and Denton last night and we all saw Matt Goodwin eat ballot papers. His girlfriend and team begged him to stop but he kept stuffing it into his mouth and making grunting sounds like the Cookie Monster

Labour losing in Gorton and Denton is the result of their whole election strategy being, pointing to Reform and saying we're not them, while pursuing Reform's policy platform.

If you want to say you're the alternative to something, you can't be exactly the same as that thing.

The conservative candidate in last nights election was known literally for one thing; she led the anti trans activity in the police.

Seriously that was her background, and why Badenoch backed her. And what happened?

It’s time to give up the lie that transphobia is popular

Oh smeg. RIP Rob Grant. Wrote one liners that crossed over into my everyday use and scenes that still make me laugh until it hurts. Thanks for all of it.

The audacity of this administration of known pedophiles to call ANYTHING the "Stop the Sexualization of Children Act" other than a bill that impeaches and punishes every child rapist in office is off the charts... especially with a bill like this that will actively harm trans youth. Fuck this place.

The very idea that the public are outraged by this is a confection of a bunch of old bigots. And we now have an openly transphobic government, who history will look *so* unkindly upon. The public, in my experience, are miles ahead of both the press and politicians on this. Don't ever forget that.

Surprise! The transphobic obsession of the ruling and media classes aren’t held by voters

The 10 minute stoppage in the play-off final last year because the refs were fiddling around with mics and battery packs killed any momentum Orient had. Charlton could relax, regroup, and that was that. Turn them off and play the game.

Pathetic. Just play the game without your microphones. Y'know, like everyone did for 150 years.

I wish it were true that "no one is above the law". But while the City of London acts as laundromat for the world's dirty money, as almost all fraud and waste crime go unprosecuted, as no one has gone to jail for the financial crash or the poisoning of our rivers, this is manifestly untrue.
