It's not Blue Labour, either. Another stupid attack slogan from the trolls and bots.

Worried about rising bills and getting by? Keir Starmer has the answer: try chewing a flag! | Aditya Chakrabortty The PM wants to talk about patriotism when the issue that is really affecting people is the cost of living. If he doesnโ€™t wise up, that dissonance will sink him, says Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrab...

After a rare one-off last week, attacking someone else, unwitting Reform UK Ltd asset Chakrabortty hones back in on The Guardian's real enemy: Labour.
He's got nothing new to say but always says it anyway.

And Badenoch has been on the radio defending him, while at the same time saying it doesnโ€™t matter what colour you are. Well, that clearly matters to Honest Bob Jenrick.

And now we go live to meet Reform UKโ€™s Skelton East, Redcar and Cleveland by-election candidate Craig Holmes and his campaign team. He's the one with his trousers down by his knees.

Unfortunately, s/he is one of these nameless trolls, of whom there are more and more on here, likely an actual supporter of Reform UK Ltd who actively wants a far right government.

If this twat really thinks Labour is right wing, wait until the likes of Plaid and the Green middle class luvvies take votes from it and enable the Fagash Fuhrer to walk into number ten.

Farage, Trump, Musk: your boy Javier Milei just took one hell of a beating. Why so quiet? | Aditya Chakrabortty The wild politics and chainsaw made Argentinaโ€™s president an economic hero for the right. And now, with his nationโ€™s finances in chaos: silence, writes Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty

The first time I can remember Chakrabortty writing something that isn't attacking Labour - and it's very good. Perhaps he might even consider how his relentless attacks on Labour, until today, might help bring about a Farage govt?

Itโ€™s the most pathetic fucking nonsense I have read in ages. Basically, whatever you do, donโ€™t call racism out. Sod that.

Predictably, Reform UK Ltd-lite Chris Mason on all the news bulletins pouring a bucket of shit over Starmer and Labour. Amazed that the Fagash Fuhrer wants to get rid of one of his greatest supporters: the BBC.

My conference pass was revoked for asking difficult questions: this is Keir Starmerโ€™s Labour | Owen Jones I was told it was a โ€˜safeguardingโ€™ issue. This speaks to a party that has not only lost its soul, but is scared of the truth, writes Guardian columnist Owen Jones

And now we go live to a complete prick who thinks the only truth is his.

The Fagash Fuhrer from a now deleted Telegraph piece declaring that Putin "is on our side". Now we know he meant that was Putin was on his side. #traitor

Blue Lights season three review โ€“ the lovable cop show has lost its roots When it began, Blue Lights was a thrilling saga that could only be set in Northern Ireland. Now, it feels like any other generic crime show. The spark that ignited it has gone

Last week, it was a hit job on Slow Horses, now
@theguardian.com
tips a bucket of shit over the brilliant Blue Lights. It's almost as if Viner's sinking ship longs for failure these days.

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.

And now we go live to the former journalist and now Reform sympathiser Sam Coates for more shit-stirring. Pathetic from the increasingly right wing Sky News.

More comment disguised as news on the increasingly Reform lite Sky News. I had high hopes for Coates once upon a time, but no more.

And now we go live to the man who introduced voter ID to ensure people he regarded as undesirables, like people who probably wouldn't vote for him, couldn't vote.
What a piece of shit he is.

Starmerism has almost destroyed the Labour party, but I still have hope for renewal | Clive Lewis As our party conference gets under way this weekend in Liverpool, we must start to work out how we can inspire the country, says Labour MP Clive Lewis

"Hey Clive," says Kath Viner. 'Would you like to do a hatchet job on Starmer and Labour?"

I voted for, and supported him, in 2015 but this is piss poor by him today. Itโ€™s purely and simply kite-flying, in the Telegraph of all places.

Burnham says MPs are privately urging him to challenge Starmer for Labour leadership Greater Manchester mayor accuses Downing Street of creating a โ€˜climate of fearโ€™ and says wholesale change is required

"Speaking to the Daily Telegraph" ... because obviously this tawdry rag has Labour's best interests at heart. I like Andy Burnham but this is kite-flying.
