Blues, Elvis Presley, LFC and St Helens rugby league fan. Too left wing to be a socialist and too critical of human nature to have any faith in capitalism.

A good attack to farage is linking him to the "epstein class" that phrase is making waves and farage has 41 mentions in the files that are released. The media won't do it. Its on us

The Guardian newspaper did a full page article on this year's Superbowl. The commencement of the homegrown rugby league Superleague 2026 fixtures merited a paragraph at the bottom of an inside page.

There is a lot of convenient amnesia about Peter Mandelson’s New Labour days. Let’s jog some memories | George Monbiot Yes, he betrayed the national interest in his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein – but also in his sanctioned role as enabler of corporate power, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It's disturbing to see how Gordon Brown has whitewashed his reasons for reappointing Mandelson, and his own role in eroding democracy. Mandelson's official business was similar to his unauthorised scheming with Epstein. Don't let them rewrite history.

Trump has no interest in helping or serving Americans. He is 100% self enriching himself by the billions at the expense of hundreds of millions of Americans with no healthcare or income to survive. He does not give a damn! He is a sadistic narcissist.

Robert Jenrick is lying.

Reform UK have spent, to date, almost Β£1.5 MILLION with Harding Print Solutions.

They are NOT a local Manchester printer.

They are Reform's go-to print company and have been for a long time.

Well, I note things like: Epstein and Peter Thiel agreeing that the real money is made in monetising collapse and decay. Then, I look at what’s been happening in Britain for decades. And then, I ask myself: what exactly would people like Mandelson and Co. have to offer these predatory zillionaires?

When people are afraid to go to work, afraid to shop, or afraid to gather in their community, it hurts families, neighborhoods, and our entire economy.

If you can, show up for a small business and let’s continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.

PM says peer did not give 'full account' over links to sex offender Sir Keir Starmer was asked at Prime Minister's Questions about his decision to award a peerage to Lord Doyle.

PM says peer (his former communications chief) did not give 'full account' over links to sex offender.

"He lied" excuse was used for Mandelson and is wheeled out again.

Does no one google, read press, double check anything?

Who is ultimately held responsible?

Israeli forces killed nine Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Monday, amid daily violations of a ceasefire agreement.

Since the β€œceasefire” began on October 11, Israel has killed at least 587 Palestinians. Over 1,550 have been injured. Death toll figures are tentative.

I don’t really need to know whether Starmer is popular or not. I need to know if the economy is doing better. If NHS is doing better. If we are doing better on housing, crime etc. Journalists spending far too much time telling me about the former and far too little time telling me about the latter.

The Prime Minister says he changed the Labour Party.

He's right. He changed it from a party of principle, workers and peace, to a party of patronage, the establishment and war.

Poverty, corruption and complicity in genocide. That will be his government's legacy.

Reform politicians are happy to throw insults from a distance.

But when it comes to debating their ideas? No show.

Richard Tice pulled out.
Farage won’t face me.
Now their candidate in Gorton & Denton has ducked our candidate Hannah Spencer.

Vote Green.

Investigation demanded into Keir Starmer's comms chief's lobbying links Tim Allan's minority ownership of a lobbying firm has led to accusations of a perception of a conflict of interest.

Tim Allan may be getting less attention than Morgan McSweeney, but his links raised serious questions - and they’re part of the wider pattern of questionable appointments.

This isn’t really about individuals.

It’s about the state of the Labour Party.

Remember when Starmer and his allies in press spent weeks claiming Corbyn was an antisemite because he mispronounced Epstein’s surname?

Just a reminder of the batshit media environment that brought us here.

β€œWhy McSweeney staying is bad for Starmer”

To

The absolute state of our political media - an assemblage of gob-offs lacking insight and integrity, blowing one way or the other like straws in their paymaster’s wind.

Wow! A politician stating migrants deserve equal human rights!
Well said @zackpolanski.bsky.social
Starmer's proposal to strip migrants of human right to freedom from inhumane treatment & right to family life for British kids & British partners of migrants is TrumpianReform cruelty.

If Epstein is Trending, Why Isn’t +1.7Β°C? The news cycle has become a hall of mirrors: Epstein, Trumpism, war, outrage, retribution. A thousand scandals designed to keep us anxious, tribal, and tired. We have to hold multiple truths at once: ...

"This is the hard truth I want to land: climate does not care what’s trending. It’s not interested in Jeffrey Epstein, Gaza, or Greenland. There is no algorithmic mercy. Physics is physics, and it is getting more abrupt."
