Well, that’s somewhat disappointing, and depressing. @labourlewis.bsky.social

Happy Amazon Prime Day! Amazon collects mountains of data about how you use the service, but there is a setting you can change to make it harder for the company to use that data to sell you more things. #OptOutOctober www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Byline Times journalists are now blacklisted by Putin and the Tories. A double badge of honour that shows that it is not afraid to expose the hypocrisy of authoritarian bullies

It’s been what, 10 years? since you actually needed 40pts to avoid the drop. Looking a lot like that might well be the minimum needed this season. #lufc

Went for flu jab today. Pharmacy booked me in weeks ago b/c I'm over 55. Turned up, pharmacist says: 'it's only for over 65s this year, sorry.'
So what happened in the last 12 months to make it unnecessary until you're 65?
I'm guessing lack of money? #nhs @labourlewis.bsky.social

That survey misses one demographic: politically ambivalent ppl who didn't really have an opinion on Starmer or the Gov until they announced Digital IDs, and then decided they very much didn't like the sound of authoritarianism.

OK, I’m in. 🤣 #lufc

Wondered this same thought out loud a couple of weeks ago.

Digital ID aka Mass State surveillance.

Almost two in three Labour members back Burnham over Starmer for leader, poll shows The exclusive poll also reveals that around a third of Labour members polled no longer think Sir Keir Starmer is a good prime minister.

Almost two in three Labour members would back Burnham as leader

Starmer made poor policy choices
Two child benefit cap.
Winter fuel payment fiasco.
Disability benefit cuts.
Sticking to Tory income tax thresholds.
No curbs on energy/water profiteering.
Return of PFI.
No end to political corruption

So today we have a Treasury secretary fat-shaming Ed Davey to score political points, a Home Secretary announcing crackdown on legal migration and a Work/Pensions Secretary announcing crackdown on ppl with mental health issues.
Didn’t we vote the Tories out? 😵‍💫😡

This explains a great deal. They told me #Starmer was a Tory in a red tie, and now here’s the proof.

The Integrity Gap: How We Built the Authoritarian Future We Fear

Labour MP Clive Lewis argues that the collapse of public trust in Government is the product of corporate power being wired into the architecture of the state

It's like watching a car crash in slo-mo. We know it's going to happen, they know it's going to happen. It's clear that #starmer isn't capable of changing course and will just keep hurtling this country towards the brick wall.

Stop blaming migrants and tackle UK’s real problems, 100 charities tell home secretary A letter warns Shabana Mahmood that ‘targeting refugees will do nothing to tackle’ problems with housing and the NHS

#Labour isn’t listening to anyone but FarRage. As the Tories found out, pandering to the right doesn’t work. Lack of vision, lack of leadership. Going to lose so many votes.

I presume they did when we got spanked by Arsenal? If it’s anything like #5Live, they don’t talk about any teams except the top 4 and Man Utd, and (a brief mention of) whoever’s playing one of them.
Like the massive number of fans in the rest of the division’s teams don’t exist.

Longstaff looking like he was worth every penny and then some (no, you can’t have him back #nufc).
#lufc 🤍💛💙

Had a lucky run with easy fixtures, but they also done is a favour. Don’t need Ange-Ball Forest climbing the table thanks. 🦾 #lufc

Bright side: only 2pts off from a Champions League spot. 😁 #lufc

Our research makes it clear: by capitulating to the right, Labour is driving voters to Reform UK | Tarik Abou-Chadi and Stuart Turnbull-Dugarte Mimicking Farage on immigration is senseless. Labour voters feel betrayed; anti-immigration voters see through the ruse, say academics Tarik Abou-Chadi and Stuart Turnbull-Dugarte

Statistical proof for what the left has been saying for years: when centrist parties spout racist rhetoric, it damages their support but boosts that of the far right. The only party leader with the sense to get this right now is @zackpolanski.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If the FarRage party come out against digital ID cards, Starmer has basically handed the 2029 election to Reform three years ahead of time.

Ok. They’ve pissed me off.

I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards:

1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.
